 School Notes.
 Green Forest certainly has the most harmonious school district in the state. At our annual school meeting last Sat urday, F. M. Seitz and E. J. Megown were elected directors, and seven mill tax levied by a unanimous vote. This makes three times in succession the full seven mills has been voted unanimously. County supervision was defeated, and county uniformity was carried. On the same day seventy nine of our citizens signed a petition asking that the constitution be so amended that they could vote twelve mills. As a result of this harmony, we have one of the best schools in the state, we have more pupils at the State Uni versity than any other school in the county, and in his address last week, Dr. Brough publicly stated that their record there is equal to the best In a letter to Prof. Burney, written May 13, Prof. Torreyson, Secretary of the State Board of Education, congratulates our school on having led the entire state in nonresident high school pupils. This speaks volumes for the Green Forest school when we remember that there are two other state schools in the

WATER WALKING
THE LATEST FEAT
STAGED BY EAVES
THE SUPPOSEDLY IMPOSSIBLE
WAS UNDERTAKEN BY
AMATEUR

/ The story is told, and comes from
a source that guarantees its accuracy,
that A. NJ. Eaves cannot walk on the
water as did Peter of old. Never-the-
less Mert has gone into training and
J If future lessons tend To increase his
aptitude in the art, for ii certainly
must be an art, else Mert could do
! it, he will some day accomplish the
supposedly impossible and skip at will
over the waves.
Eaves likes to fish, so the story goes.
and also likes fish. In fact so en-
crossed is he at the sight OF the trim
form of member of the fnny tribe,
that this passion overcomes all others
of his nature and Mert thinks only
of the fish.
One day last week Mr.. Eaves, in
company with three of his boon com
panions, hied himself to a lake, the
three Of them to catch fish, and Merit
TO take his first water walking lesson.
Now Mert did not know that he was to
take the lesson, for had he known
it a bathing suit would surely have
been included in the sportmen's out
fit, and possibly some buoys too

this point. Merit does not don his
water walking garb and proceed over
the water as would a man on "a long
journey overland, but rather waits un-
til the ruling passion, spoken Of above,
comes upon him and then follows the
dictation of his eXuberant imagination.
Well Eaves, and his friends also, were
fishing near the middle Of the lake. A
grand old monarch of the depths rose
to the surface Of the placid waters and
drew a copious breath of air. Mert
drew some air into his nostrils, too,
but he eXuded il again and with such
vehemence that his friends were as
founded, and likewise bewildered, be-
cause Of the magnitude of the utter
ances accompanying the expulsion of
the air.
Immediately following the above
ether rending yell. Mert stepped con-
fidently from the smooth, dry surface
Of the boats bottom out, and onto the
equally smooth, but less dry, surface
of the boundless deep.
Now the waters of the lake had
never been walked upon, according to
the sages and the soothsayers, but
never the-l less our esteemed employee
of Uncle Sam for Mert commonly car
ries the mail, had faith that he could
accomplish the feat.
After the Turing body he started, re-
solved I'm his mind that all would be
well Sad as it is To relate, but yet
fact and hence il must be told truth
fully, at every step along the CLASSY
expanse between Merit and the prize
his feet sank deeper and deeper into
the uncertain depths until his faith
began to wane and the first walking
lesson was brought quickly to an end,
with the Turing critter still roaming
the mighty deep
Merit is said To have climbed into
the folds of his downy bed at home.
some hours later, sad and detected
and without taking the precautfon to
remove his water soaked underwear.
And there the first lesson ceases and
the records thereof have with this
brief mention passed into history

COMPLICATIONS
CONTINUE To EXIST
IN WOODMEN CAMP

L. H. HHbbell, who returned from the
officers meeting of the Modern Wood
men at Grand Rapids last week, reports
a lively time coming at the big Head
Camp meeting to he held June I6 to 20
in Toledo, Ohio II developed at the
Grand Rapids meeting that both the in
Surgent and the administration branches
of the warning order claim majority of
delegates to the Toledo meeting
The history of the coming meeting will
show hard fought battle on the rate
question. II is claimed by the insurgents
that the treasurer is now i'm charge of
upward of S1l 100000 and yet with all of
this surplus the administration officers
and their followers want t0 raise the rate
to an excessive amount. This action is
supposed to he planned by them so aS to
eliminate the older members from the
order and thus allow the continuance of
the same measures as are being worked
out now in administration circles
Mr.. HubbelI is one of the senators, a
member Of the national committee Of in
surgent Woodmen and also a member Of

Coinciding with the views Of Cover

Mayor Fred T.. Underwood heartily in
dorses all that is said by the Cover
nor in his proclamation. He urges
that all citizens OF Belding take es-
pecial note on next Friday of the con
dition Of their premises and if they
are not in the best sanitary condition
to use portion Of this day, as much
as is necessary, to make their sur
roundings better.
The Spring Cleanup Day which is
deemed SO important by the governor
and fire marshall. stands for even
more than the name implies. Clean
up Day is Fire Prevention Day.
Fire prevention is an outgrowth Of
cleanliness and sanitation. When we
place our homes and our factories and
our business houses in better sani-
tary condition, we are taking an i'm
portant step toward fire prevention
and If the time shall ever come when
the ideas involved i'm the governors

ness and the ignorance of the people.
IL is said that the annual fire loss
OF the United States is two dollars and
fifty cents per capita. The annual fire
loss Of western Europe is thirty-three
cents per capita. These figures
should be impressive enough To carry

when she saw that a mammoth fish
was on the hook. In the excitement
she got her line mixed up with that OF
Mrs. Mate Cornwell. another member
of the party. and the two ladies began
