Demand FOR Poca Products

Pocshontas products are becom-
ing ia demand, as Is shown by the
shipment Of 100 pounds of home
ground meal to California FIRST Of
the week BY Jos. II. DeCIerk.
This is his second shipment in the
past few months. Some time ago,
Joe shipped some meal to Cslifor-
mia upon request Of q friend Of the
family who was getting hungry for
the old-fashioned Arkansas corn
bread. This, perhaps, resulted in
the order Of few days ago from a
man named Collins. 1t seems that
out IN the far-away state, meal is a
very precious article, selling in
packages like oatmeal. Another
good reason why we should stay In
old Arkansas.

To Public School Patrons

The. Pocahonias Public School
has Just completed its first half
years work, and the teachers are
sending 60 the epatrons reports show
ing the character Of work done by
each child. You are urged to read
carefully the report OF your child
and to encourage him by bestowing
such praise as hls standing seems to
deserve. After examining each
item of the report, please sigi and
return. always remembering iha.
the teacher needs your constant help
and cooperation in this effort to
raise the standard and extend the
usefulness Of the scho,l. y
During the hrst three and one
half months of the term just closed
our record for attendance and inter-
est has been much better than ever
before. For this the pupils and
patrons deserve great praise; but as
you already know the work has
been practically at a stand still for
the past few weeks, owing TO the
large number Of cases Of measles in
towr. Il is hoped tn the parents
will help the teachers TO see that
this interferes as little as possible
with the years work. The child
should not be permitted to worry
about his work but he should be en-
couraged aud assisted in the re or
ganization Of his work as soon as he
is able to begin his study. The af-
fairs of the home and the social
life Of the child should be arranged
that he will not be distracted from
bis work when he is able to return
TO school.
Let us unite our efforts in bring
ing every thing TO bear toward
making this the best school year in
the history OF Pocahontas.
Respectfully,
4. X. HuLEs, Supt.

An Interesting Story

An interesting story Is told by
Gus wies, a German living at ST,
Mary's, Mo. Mr.. wies was here
one day last week and purchased
some fnrnitureat Lewis, furniture
store. Upon conversation. the fol-
loving story was told by the Ger
man.
Some twenty-five or thirty years
ago, Louis Wise came 10 this coun-
try and being sttracted by the
homestead lands near KeIlar, he set
tied there and secured nice little
claim. In the course Of a few
years be left his home Tor some rea-
son, aud il is rumored that he be-
came a wanderer over the northeast
ern part OF the state, accompanied
by his children, a boy and a glrl
A year or so ago he returned TO his
neglected farm, thinking that he
was still the rightiul owner. Dur
ing all his years Of wandering, be
had forgotten the fact that his
homestead, would be sold for taxes,
and that the title had passed beyond
his reach. Since bis return he has
been living in little hut near his
old home, living life of extreme
poverty with HIS son and daughter.
BY this time he was up in the sew
enties. His poverty stricken life
soon began to tell on him. and he
became sick. Fearing that he was
nearing death, he sent word to his
brother, Gus, the person spoken Of
IN the beginning of this story. Gus
had not heard from his brother since
he left their ST. Mary's home many
years ago, aud had long thought
him dead. Having little faith in
the message, he came. Imagine bis
joyful surprise when he found his
long absent brother. Yet his JOY
was clouded by the evidences Of
poverty which he found IN the hum
bic hut. The home was almost de
void Of furniture, the family slept
on mattress OF sheets on the floor.
Gus says be is going to take his
brother back TO ST. Mays with him.
He is prominent stockraiser Of
that place. and man of comfort
able circumstances. However,
Louis has not yet become accus-
toned to a bed. He says he can
rest better on the floor.

1914 Assembly Vote Compared
with 1913

Complete official returns from every
county in New Jersey show that the
Republican majority based on the vote
for Assemblymen was 23,872-an abso-
lutte reversal Of the vote OF 1913, which
gave Governor Fielder a majority Of
30, $50. In 1918, Republican msjorities
were secured in only eight counties:
Camden, Burlington, Atlantic, Mercer,
Cape May, Gloucester, Ocean and Pas
sale. In the recent election Republic
cans were victorious In fifteen counties,
losing only In Hudson, Bergen, Mid
dlesex, Hunterdon, Warren and Sns.
sex. In Bergen a Democratic majority
of 3214 in 1913 was reduced to 252 this
year.
A comparison Of the figures for 1919
and 1914 will furnish convincing proof
Of the state wide resentment OF the. ex-
~travagance and incompetency OF the
Democratic majority In the last session
of the New Jersey Legislature, and
also of the confidence OF the people In
the Republican party to restore an eff
ficient and economic government.
Here are the figures:

California and Ohio, out Of the six

In Ohio the new amendment to the
