Tag day is an idea conceived with a

portunity of contributing to the cause.
Men, women and children can all help.
Give what you are able to give. No
more can or will be asked or expected.
But when all give the aggregate re-

You Can't Escape.
You will meet the ladies tomorrow
when YOU go to your work and when
you return from it; when you go to
the store or the meat market, or go
for a visit to your neighbOrs. You
can't miss them unless you lock your
self in the house all day, and then they
are likely to tag you when you come
out at night.
So be prepared to give when you
meet them. You have always done IL

you to keep up your good record.
The children of Bethany home are
appealing to you through their pro

OF course you will respond in pro-

ROD IS USED By
TUTOR; TROUBLE
Lower End Of County Stirred
by Thrashing Administered
by Andalusia Principal.
PROSECUTION is PROPOSED
Mother of Girl Is DOused With a
Bucket of Cold Water When She
Takes Up Cause of Child.

1t IS understood that evidence will
be presented to the Rock Island coun-
ty grand Jury, when it resumes its
sessions after the two weeks recess
it is now taking, in connection with
a school affair that has caused a good
deal of feeling IN the village Of Anda-
lusia, where it took place. and has set
the whole lower end of the county
to talking.
Last week the principal of the Anda-
lusia schools, Meigs Hays, had occa-
sion to punish Lola Huntley, one of
the older girl pupils, and he used
heavy rod in doing so. On the second
day afterward the mother of the girl,
Mrs. Charles Huntley, discovering blood
on the girls clothes, examined her, and
found a number of bruises and abrasiOns
on her side and back. Mrs. Huntley bur
ried to the school and, as may be sur
missed, rather forcibly expressed her
opinion of q man who would whip a
girl so severely. AS she turned to
leave. the teacher threw a bucket Of
cold water 1pon her and the shock of
the excitement and the sudden dOusing
with cold water rendered her i'll so
that it was necessary to summon a
physician, and she was confined to her
bed for several days.
Teacher stands Ground.
Naturally a good deal of feeling
arose among the villagers over the af-
fair. Through all the storm of con-
domination the teacher has stood his
ground, defending his course in pun
ishing the girl. It Is understood that
the father of the latter has now taken
steps to lay the matter before the
grand jury.
Mr. Hays, who is a resident of Drury
township, has been teaching school for
several years. This is his second sea
son as head of the Andalusia schools.
