Here's health to the future
A sigh for the past
We can love and remember
And hope to the last,
And for all the base lies
That this old world has told
While there's love In enc heart

We received the following postal in
Saturdays mail:
The honorable school board OF
district No. - signed marriage con-
tract yesterday for a period OF seven
months. From one who knows
p. S. Takes effect September 18th.
Mr.. Rheulin and Mr.. Malone from
district II made us business call last
Saturday. To satisfy the needs Of
their district they will have to EN-
ploy three teachers and have three
schools In their district this year.
The school board will have special
meeting to see about a suitable site
and building. We are glad to see the
school board take such an interest
in the education of the boys and girls
in their district. The people should
stand by the school board, do all that
they can to see that every boy and
girl has good chance 10 60 to school
to the best teacher that can be OBJ
tanned, and see that the said teacher
delivers the goods.
Many of the applicants for certifi-

winter than it is in summer. Dis
lance from the sun does not cause
change of seasons. The important
factors in change of seasons are L.
The revolution OF the earth. 2. ROta-
tion on its axis. 3. The inclination Of
the earth's axis.

A postal from Irene Taylor tells US
