ADVERTISING RATES ON
APPLICATION

Wake up! Don't be satisfied and con-
tented with present conditions of this
town of Clio, while we are on earth for
our allotted time let's be alive. We
need a Home Coming" this year
if ever. We need more boosters to boost,
we need folks so much awake they will
arise at midnight's quiet hour and boost
if need be for Clio. There are countless
number who are willing to follow in any
good move for the enlightenment and
good of the town, but don't want the
responsibility of starting something.
That's much better than pulling back.
Wide awake citizens do not shirk re-
sponsibility. Get into the harness and
pull like sixty. Something's bound to
come. Better bust the harness than let
it become shelf worn. 1t always costs
something to get to the front and let
folks know you are alive that's what
makes life worth while activity-no
green scum on the surface of living
water-never. 1t pays hundredfold to
have the fact known that we are alive
If not let's build a masoleum.

When you see youth who will do any
kind of work no matter how mental it
may be, rather thar be idle you may
make up your mind that he will amount
to something. The young man who would
starve before he would do anything be-
low what he conceives to be his dignity.
is not made of the right kind of stuff to
cut much of figure in this world. All
honest toll is honorable. The is nothing
SO morally degrading as that aversion of
manual labor, which is usually COM
bination of laziness and conceit.

Terrific storm visits ihe Island


An electric storm accompanied by
rain and high winds swept over Wild
wood last Friday night. The vivid
flashing OF the lightning, the crash OF
thunder and the roaring Of the wind,
aroused in terror those that slept. Those
that were still on the board walk
sought shelter manifesting great fear.
Much damage was done to the proper
ty of the Electric Light and Telephone
companies. Many electric lights were
out Of commission; to attempt to use
the telephone, was only to be shocked.
Trees were uprooted. Two sign boards,
8 feet wide and % feet high, were car
ried by the wind to the Cedar avenue
approach to the boardwalk. Contractor
Rufus Hayes declared that little prank
of the storm cost him about $50. The
storm ragged in fury from about II
o'clock Friday night to about 1.80 I'm
Saturday morning. Terror reigned in
almost every home, hotel and boarding
house. Buildings rocked and its in
mates arose and dressed, fearing disas-
ter at any moment. The storm gradu-
ally abated; the sun ross in the morn
ing, usherlng in q calm day ofthe usual
August kind, leaving the terror Of the
night a memory Of the past.

Manual Training 90 be Installed
The regular monthly meeting of the
Wildwood School Board was held Mon
day evening at the Holly Beach school
house.
President w. II. Bright presided and
all members were present, viz: John
Fl. Daggan, Mrs. Downing, q. q. FL
dredge. Robert Harrison and r. ID.
Richman. The supervisors met with
the board. 1t was unanimously de-
cided to introduce manual training In
the Wildwood school. Geo. B. Elliott,
assistant principal of Dennisville High
school, was elected as teacher of the
new department.
It was also decided to establish a
commercial course In connection with
the high school work. A teacher high
ly recommended by County Superin-
tendent A. w. Hand was chosen for
this department.
In order to provide room, the 7th and
9th grades will be removed to the Bird
ward school. Harry f. Greaves was
chosen to teach one of the divisions of
the 9TH grade, 1t being found necessary
to divide this grade because Of the large
number of pupils.
Clarence G. Eldredge resigned as
secretary Of the Board, a position
which he has filled with marked abili-
ty and faithfulness for nine years. The
stress o. other business made this step
necessary. Jed Dubois was unani-
mously elected as the successor to Mr..
Eldredge. Though protesting against
the action of the Board, he was finally
persuaded to accept the onerous duties
Of this Office.
A very pleasing conclusion of the
Boards meeting was the action taken
in regard to the supervisor, Rev. Leyan-
us Myers. The salary was increased
$500 per annum, making 1t $1,000.
The Boards action was prompted in
consideration Of the service rendered by
bu6 b~upcEVlbok W tuc WIN WOOu cCuuOls
For nine years he has been at the head
Of the work. During his administra-
ton of the schools on the island they
have been regarded and a high school
established. Throughout this period,
the relations between the supervisor
and the Board, as well as with the
teachers under him, has been most har-
monious. It has been due TO this fact
and the respect of the pupils for him
that such excellent results have been
attained by the Wildwood school.
Several of the last years graduates
are planning to enter college. Miss
Josephine Rakestraw will matriculate
at bwarthmore College Herbert
Reeves at Bucknell University; Miss
Marion Mckinley at the West Chester
State Normal School; Miss Helen Dag
gan Is contemplating a cours at the
