AN ODE ON THE EASTER BONNETT

foolish little bennett
With ribbon and flower and bit
of lace upon it.
The rim it was 50 wide and fiat that
she could hardly see,
She bought this pretty bennett at the

Another maiden CHANGED tosee bon
net which was fair,
1t covered up her freckles and hid
her auburn hair.
She said, ooh, aren't those hats just
dear? they certainly are hummers.
So she went and bought her hat of

has returned
Since our last issue May Garrison
took short trip to Tucumcari.
For millinery novelties call and see

Freda Harris missed school Mon

We infer from the fact that several
Domestic Science girls are wearing
new dresses that Miss Aliens sewing
class is progressing nicely
Athletic work is claiming the at
tsntion of most OF the high school
boys at present.
From observation we believe that
some of the high school teachers are
interested in tennis. They should be
encouraged.

Son of JOSEPH PRATTE.

Dear Mr.. Axe Will you allow an
old Irontonian to speak through
your paper to any one who may be
contemplating trip to Southern
California this fall in reference to
the wild rumor Of the epidemic Of
infantile paralysis. / find that it
is greatly exaggerated in the east
ern papers. There are ka few cas-
es, which are now on the decrease,
and the death rate has been very
small. 1t has never been epidemic
and the doctors are not agreed as
to the symptoms, or the disease
itself. There is not a spot on
earth where children are more
healthy than in Los Angeles. And
adults who do not come here to-
tai wrecks, and even the sick, can
have a sweeter existence here, for
they can baskin Gods beautiful
sunshine the year round. Enough

MAS school system is far in ad-
vance, especially in the rural dis
tricts. In all of our country school
districts, where there are some
times not more than ten or twelve
pupils, they build good school
houses, equip them with musical
instruments, libraries, globes,
maps, blackboards, etc. And they
have the same class of studies as
do the city schools and the same
grades.
Many years ago when l taught a
"deestrict' school in Hepsidam,
Missouri (St. Francois county,, l
was required to teach eight hours
a day and do the janitor's work,
too. O: course, Missouri does not
treat her teachers that way now.
But | love Missouri and l must
say her falls are delightful. l re-
lioice in all the prosperity your
people are having, and | am sure
with your religious assemblies,
electric lights and granitoid side
walks, prosperity must come
your way. In the meantime, ,come
you out to Southern California,
where you will find a warm well
come from our people, and with
out endangering your health from
any epidemic. With kind regards
and best wishes for all of our old
friends, I remain,
