infamed stomach lining, help in the
secretion Of gastric juice, check heart

Well, Mr.. Editor, this is sure fine
weather and sold Joe" is certainly
enjoying it, as it is becoming suitable
to his old clothes, and it seems fIom
the way farmers are getting around
that they have taken on renewed en-
ergy, and are making things 'hum I"
This beautiful spring-like weather is
making them feel like corn planting
time is at the door.
Well, reckon we are going to get a
new school house after SO lo1g time,
which is badly needed in our settle
ment. We have quite lot of bright,
intelligent children in our settlement
that will make useful men and women
If they have the proper training and
advantages. Our board member, w.
Q. Moore, says as soon as ne can get
the new lot surveyed out and the
rights and titles secured he is ready to
begin the preparatory work for the
erection of the building, and we are
all certainly proud of it. We are also
informed that the Sulphur Springs
people are going to get new school
building in place of the old one which
was burned down last summer. There
was quite pull by the Oak Grove
people to consolidate the Sulphur
Springs and Oak Grove schools. NOV
ing the school building about a mile
or go down the road toward Oak
Grove, but the Sulphur Spring people
objected to the moving Of their house
and school any further away, and con-
sequently the school board decided
that they would not move the school
but build back at or near the old site.
We are of the opinion that the consol-
idation would have been decidedly bet
ter for the majority of the patrons of
both schools, but the distance it
would have forced some of the child
rem tu have to walk to the consolidat-
ed site, was out of the bounds of reas-
on, and also out of the bounds of the
compulsory act of the legislature, as
~ SiNoo re mliop as bu6 eXbT6m0 IIu-
its of the compulsory attendance.
Well, "Old Joe" attended Sunday
school here Sunday and found a very
large attendance, but was sorry to see
SO many present not taking any inter-
est in the work. We noticed about
fifteen intelligent young men of the
settlement who did not seem to take
any, interest in the school, Boys, you
ought not to do so as it is laying bad
examples before the younger boys, and
the rising generation. Young men,
you are standing in the light of some
tender youths, who doubtless would
become more interested in the Sunday
school work If you did not lay the
example before them. You know little
boys all want to be like big boys, and
as You do so will they be inclined to
do My advice to all young men is if
You are not going for the betterment
of yourselves and the betterment of
your community, stay away from the
holy sanctuary" for it is a holy
place.
Well, we had several visitors in our
school Sunday.

SUPREME COURT is ASKED
TO PASS ON WAGE RATES

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Request
has been made that the supreme
court of the United States render a
decision at the earliest possible date
as to the constitutionality OF legislp-
ton enacted within the last few
years In a number of states designed
to establish a minimum wage rate
for women.
The specific case Is one brought to
test the validity Of the Oregon mini
mum wage law for women, and state
officials, employers and employees In
the state OF Oregon are to join in pc
titioning the court for an immediate
decision.
The case arose out OF an attempt Of
Frank G. Settler, owner OF manu-
featuring establishment in Portland,
Ore, and Elmira Simpson, one of his
employees, to enjoin the enforcement
of the law. The law directed the In
dustrial welfare commission to deter
mine the minimum wage on which
women might live properly and
BEAUTIFULLY, and made II an offense
for an employer TO pay less than the
amount so fixed by the commission.
California. Colorado, Massachusetts,
Minnesota. Nebraska, Utah, Washing
ton and Wisconsin have enacted min
imum wage laws similar to the Ore
gon law, and test cases are pending
in several states.
