interesting characteristic os the
Hollanders, namely: their love of
lowers, which at times in Their
history has amounted to craze,
much the same as the Belgian
hare mania in Colorado some
years ago. In 1886 and 1857 the
flower trade in Holland became
as important an object of specu-

High School Notes.

AT faculty meeting recently, Grim

nent school colors.
The recent pretty weather has caused
Us to think Of Field Day. We hope
TO have our school we'll represented in
the various contests. and expect to
carry of at least some OF the bonors.
There is no reason for our moi winning
some Of the prizes. as we have as
much talent in our boys and girls as
can be found in the pupils of any other
high school in the state. The public
spirited people Of the town should CO.
operate with the teachers and students
and make this day Of success.
The present epidemic Of measles in
town has noticeably affected the at
tendance Of the pupils in the lower
grades.
We are sorry to learn that Mildred
Dawson is i'll with pneumonia. We
hope she will continue to improve. and
will soon be able to resume her work

for the pupils OF the public schools Of
state. Each county and each separate
school district of an enrolment of no
less than 300. is entitled to enter
team Of FIVE pupils. We hope to have
both county team and an Okolona
team. A committee has been appoint
ed to get up the Okolona team.
According to the recently inaugural
ed custom OF having one grade take
charge of the chapel exercises each
Wednesday morning. the Fifth grade
entertained this week. A very nice
program was rendered, which was a
credit to both teachers and pupils.
We note with pleasure the increasing
interest being shown by pupils and
patrons. We had number Of visitors
present for the exercises, and insure a.
hearty welcome to all who care to
come. The Sixth grade will entertain

the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in

back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-ROot corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain inpassing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
Of being compelled to 60 often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-

properties. A trial will convince anyone.

Treating Injured Animal.


When an animal receives cut OF
any kind the first thing to do is to
wash the wound out with warm wa.
ter to remove dirt and germs that
might cause infection. Disinfect the
wound with a solution of carbolic acid
in ten to 20 parts of water, and then
bind up or grease the wound to keep
out germs. An animal that is some.
what wild may have to be tied for
the first two or three times, but most
any animal will soon learn to know
that you are working for its good and
will like the treatment and become
tame thereafter, especially where the
wound must be dressed daily for sew.
