Schools, Teachers, Pupils and pdtION Devoted to the Betering of the School Interests in Polk

The Star is now able to annouce a second order for Exchange Libraries; an order for five libraries of twenty volumes each was made ten days since, and these were spoken for be- fore their arrival; since the first to call is the first to be supplied, and since each caller chose to advance one dol- lar each, this made it necessary to furnish forty volumns instead of twen- ty: it will thus be noted that disinter- ested parties are furnishing the money for the purchase of the first twenty volumes and that the beneficiaries are paying for the second twenty volumns. Again, we call the readers attention to the fact that each of the schools thus supplied with the forty volumes will have access to two hundred vol umns, no two of which are alike. Is it not good judgment for everyone in- terested in the education of this youth ful generation to agitate the idea of cultivating the reading habit while the opportunity is offeredY Is anyone able to estimate the good that may be done by this simple plan for encouraging the reading of good books by beginning in the lower gradesY
 Old instructors tell us that the reading habit must be formed very early in life or not at all. To be sure are there isolated exceptions to this statement and ever will be. but this is the concensus of opinions far and wide. Teach the child to read and then lead him into the right kind O reading and you make him good anC intelligent citizen. capable of judging and forming opinions of his own.

J. C. Yell Asks Support.

To the Voters of Polk County:
 Being a farmer and country car penter, the nature of my work has been so that l could not visit the voters as other candidates usually do. The committee, through mis- understanding, have refused to put my name on the ticket, therefore I hope that all will remember to write my name on the ticket and rebuke the injury to me. As to my reliabil- ity, refer you to all the good men in Washita Township, and promise, If elected, to do justice by all with out fear or favor.
 Yours for the Right,

with a Grim of Salt

The earliest record OF the saying
with Il grain Of salt" dates back 10 the
year G3 h. c.. when the great Penney
entered the palace of Mithridatcs ana
discovered among his private papers
the description of an antidote against
poisons OF all sorts, which was com.
posed OF pounded herbs These. ac-
cording TO the recipe. were 10 be taken
with grain Of salt Whether this
was meant seriously or rs n warning
sarcasm Is not known. but thenceforth
IL became the custom to say that
doubtful preparations should be taken
with grain of salt. From this the
meaning got transferred TO sayings OF
doubtful truth attic salt was n
Greek synonym for wit or penetration.
ana the Latin word "sal" had some
what OF the same meaning. 1t is thus
easy TO sec how the saying "cum
grano sails" could have come TO mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements with grain OF
salt"
