TO THE PUBLIC.

AS previously announced, the public
schools viii open on Monday, July Is.
1t is thought proper to call attention
to the fact that the compulsory school
law, requiring the attendance of all
children between the ages of & and 16
years old for the first five months of
the school year, excepting those of in
digent parents, is still in force. For
the general benefit this law will be
rigidley enforced, and unless you come
within the exceptions to its application
or you are arranging for your children
to have instruction in private school,
don't invite trouble by keeping your
children out of school, All good citi-
zens will heartily favor the strict en-
forcement Of this law. and will keep
their children in school as duty and the
law demands. We are able to lake care
Of more children this year than ever be.
fore, and we should, consequently,
have larger enrolment this year than
ever before, because the per cent. of
the children of the county enr olling in
the public schools in not as large as it
should be. This is condition that
must be remedied for the common good,
and every parent should do all he can
to secure the attendance of all the ELI
gible children in the neigh borhood, and
give to the school all such support as
he may be capable of giving. All
working together we will have most
successful school year.

vi the Astor family, is not Yet >
years old. lie WAS born on NOV. -.
1891.
Vincent Astor has been thrown par
ticularly into his fathers company
since his mother, Mrs. Ava Willing
Astor, obtained her divorce in No
vember, 1909. Under the divorce de-
cree John Jacob Astor was to have
custody of Vincent, and Mrs. AstOr OF
the only other child of the marriage,
,iuriel, now 10 years old. At the
time of the divorce the amount of
alimony allowed his wife was not
made public, but it was said to be
10000, 900 in cash, on the provision
that this sum would later revert to
Muriel.
The John Jacob Astor fortune,
which Vincent Astor would share
with his stepmothcr and perhaps with
his sister. Muriel. has been estimated
at 500, ,OOO. 900. John Jacob Astor' }

part of his estate, is assessed at more
than $4,000, 900. A marriage settle
ment of cash and securities on the
women they marry in lieu Of the
wife's dover right in the estate has
been traditional with the heads of
the Astor family. The purpose of this
settlement is to keep the AstOr estate
intact. Before marrying the present
Mrs. Astor Col. Astor made such a
settlement last August few days
before her marriage. The amount
which Mrs. Astor received. to secure
from her a release of her dover right
in the estate, was never made pub
lie, but has been reported several
times as 100000. A similar set
tlement was made on Mrs. Ava Will

/ patches of time which every day pro-
duccS and which most men throw
IaWay, but will nevertheless make at
the end of ii no small deduction from
the life Of man. Past time never re-
turns, nor does it belong to you--it
would be useless If it did. 1t is only
the golden present that is ours To
transform into Il new past to look
back to in years to come. DO not
spend your life in reasoning on the
past, complaining Of today and trcm-

daily bread and daily duties are the
sweetest things life can give.
Life is divided into two parts: That
which is pasta dream; that which
is to come wish. You think tina:
life is like II beautiful and winding
lane; ON either side bright flowers,
beautiful butterflies and tempting
fruits which you scarcely pause to al
hlirc and taste, SO eager are you to
hasten to an opening which you think
will be more beautiful still. But by
degrees as you advance, the trees
grow bleak, the flowers and butter
llies fail, the fruits disappear ana

Little do you think and imagine
and hope the thought will not sink
deep lines on your forehead--that the
waves of the years which come rock
ing SO gently by will soon toss you
far away upon the great swell of life.
You must work in this great, busy,
buzzing world Never mind where
you work; let the care be for the work
itself. You must labor for all that
you have; there are thorns in the
great road of life, and they make the
flowers more beautiful. Life is made
brighter by being with darker shade
Of sorrow. There is no time for rest.
You may sometimes stop and ask
yourself the question when shall
