1855 when 1t was taught by Rev. Joseph munity's first schoolhouse was built It was near the present home of pr. George Eubanks, and was called the "Byars school. During the civil war there was no school, and the little schoolhouse was closed until 1867, when it was used for two years.
 In 1869 Miss Jennie Bailey taught at the old Jack" Wideman place, which is now a part of the Hazel Heights subdivision, where is now the water main of the Bir- mingham waterworks. During the fol- lowing year Miss Byars taught in the church building. This first church occu- pied the site where is now the home of the principal of the present school
 In 1874 MT. P. H. Watkins gave for a church and school site the acre of land which is still used The building erected then continued in use until it was burned in 1891. The teacher at that time was MT. Lee Cowart, present commissioner of immigration.
 Erection of Present Building
 A small box structure replaced the one burned, and with two additions it remains in use today. The church of the com munity has a separate building. When the 10-mill tax went into effect the school was granted two teachers. For many years the term was only three months, but it has been gradually heightened until it is now. eight months.
 The patrons supplemented the state funds for teachers salaries until 1908. when public funds paid the entire amount It Is still necessary to pay supplement for use it repairing the old building and paying incidental expenses.
 There Is imperative need for more comfortable building, and a modern schoolhouse will probably soon replace the old one. Tt will be more in keeping with the school itself for it is one of the most progressive in the county.
 To MT. Alber\ E. FranSe, principal, belongs the credit for the schools prog ress. MT. Franke has lived all his life in the community. He has been a schoolboy there, and knowing the needs of the school he is capable of directing its affairs to the best advantage. He has been in charge of the school for three years. He began teaching six years ago. when he was only 16 He has been entirely successful in his teaching. He is forturN te in being able both to plan and to execute his plans with good judgment, and his school Is showing the results of his ability. The assistant teacher, Miss Barrett has heen in the school only during the pres. ent year She is enthusiastic in her worl, with the primary grades. In addition to this work she has classes in sewing and teaches three daily recitations from Mir Franke's grades.
 When MT. Franke took charge in the autumn of 1911 he and the schoolboys planted water oaks along the road upon which the schoolhouse faces. The boys covered the grounds with gravel. There are ample playgrounds where basketball and baseball games are played. Equipment
 New single desks were bought last year, replacing homemade double desks. These had been used since 1918. Prior to that time long benches, old church pews, were used for seats, Only the boys, who were

A Sure Wrinkle Remover and Other Beauty Secrets

bay rum instead of the water and alco- hol The beta-quinol you can get at all most any drug store for not more than fifty cents.
 MRS. O. F. L.-Most of the beautiful compiexions you have admired have been developed after years of painstaking ef- fort. But such labor and patience are no longer necessary by the use of formula which I believe is the most wonderful beautifier I have ever known. With a half-pint of hot water mix two table spoonfuls of glycerine, and while stirring pour in one ounce of zintone, obtainable for not more than fifty cents at any drug store. When cool it makes an exquisite satiny cream and is ready to use. This is exceedingly economical, and you can and must use it generously on face, arms hands, neck and shoulders every day.
 MRS. NO-FORM-It is a difficult mat ter, at best, to develop the bust but there is only one way that deserves a trial, and that is to make a mixture of two ounces of ruetone (sold at drug stores for not more than one dollar), half cup of sugar, and pint of cold water, and taking of this two teaspoonfuls after meals and at bedtime. This should do it if anything can.
 MISS O. N. R.-The best soap in the world can never cleanse the scalp of all scurf, dead skin particles and dandruff as can eggol. This produces a wonderfully rich, creamy lather and is unexcelled as a scalp cleanser. Dissolve teaspoonful of eggol in half cup of hot water for your shampoo. Enough eggol can be secured from your druggist for twenty-five cents to give over twelve exquisite shampoos.
 DISSATISFIED-I do not wonder that you are dissatisfied with the many su- perfluous hair removers you have used. You will remove such hairs perfectly, and without burn or irritation, by using sim pie sufo solution, which dissolves the hair instead of burning it off and leaving a red spot. It is very startling in it's ac- tion. You can get simple sulfo solution for not more than one dollar at the drug store.
 LOOKS BAD-You will go on forever never succeed. What you need is a power- full blood cleanser. There is nothing bet ter than mixture of twelve ounces of sugar dissolved in a pint of water and one ounce of sarsene, taken In doses of three or four teaspoonfuls three or four tlneS day. Get the SarSene in the original package, by the ounce, at the drug store. You will get rid of your pimples quickly.
 MRS. D. M. L.--It is an astonishing fact that blackheads can be removed in few minutes by sprinkling some neroxin on hot>wet sponge and rubbing this on the blackheads. It removes them all, the big and little ones. The neroxin can be ob- taired at the drug store for not. more than fifty cents.

skin That the skin can be made youth ful in it's vigor and appearance, is no longer a question. It is a fact The se- cret lies in the material used, not In the manner of use. Massage alone is sof no value Ordinary creams are of little mer- it. The following formula, to my mind, is positively revolutionary in it's results, yet it is simplicity itself. Mix this formula yourself at home in few moments and you will have a quantity of surpassing wrinkle remover which would ordinarily cost many dollars if it could be bought in the stores already prepared.
 To half a pint of hot water, add two ounces of eptol and two tablespoonfuls of glycerine. This forms a cream. When cool, ai,ply regularly, every day, gener- ously The eptol will cost not more than fifty cents at any drug store.

desks. They contrived to nall 12-inch boards to the top of the bench, making their own desks.
 Painted walls make the blackboards for the principals room, and acme plate boards have been bought for the pri- mary room. The floors were oiled during the present year. Globes, maps and charts are in use.
 School Improvement Association
 A School Improvement association was organized last year. Much material aid was rendered, especially by the girls, in raising funds for buying the new desks, furnishing a cooking outfit. and conduct ing work in cooking sewing and manual training.

Interesting in it's portrayal of the tram sition from the old to the new in edu- cational matters is the history Of one ot the smaller schools of Jefferson county.
 This is the Union Hill school located midway between Irondale and Oxmoor, on the Montevallo road. It is three miles from Birmingham. in the direction of the waterworks. Its history begins with thai of Alabama's pioneers and dates almost from the states admission to the union.
 In the early twenties of the past century Daniel Watkins came from South Caro- lima and made pioneer home in what Is now Powderly. After a year he returned to South Carolina, married, organized company of settlers, and came back to Alabama. Among these settlers was the large family of MT. Watkins father-in- law. John Byars. The members or this family settled in Shades valley. Their descendants represent a very large pro portion of the present population of the valley. Of the IS families living there II are members of these two pioneer fam flies.
 Pioneer School Days
 Of course there were no schools hero when these first people came, for there were no pupils before they made their homes here Soon after their coming they organized schools in individual homes These were taught by one of the mothers or by an older sister. In the 4os there was school at Green Springs, and to that place the children went from a dis tance of four, five. six, even eight miles. It was pioneer days, when neither grown ups nor children asked for conveniences or complained of what we would now consider severe hardships; and so the long walk and the bare school room to which 1t led were taken as a matter of course.
 Later a school was established for the

the principals sister. Miss Bertha Franke. Miss Barrett is now teaching this work.
 Manual training was introduced thls year. A bookcase used in the primary room is the work of this class
 The school has done most creditable work in music, being awarded first prize for written music.
 The class in sewing last year sent an exhibit to the Alabama Educational asso- citation Some of the most recent work has been the making of window curtains.
 During 1912 a Boys Corn club was or ganized with five members. Two of the boys each raised more than 10 bushels of corn on an acre of ground Last year only one tried for a high yield, raising l9 bushels. This year there are six members who seem to be very much interested m the coming years crop. Among the girls tomato club has just beer. organized
 Library
 Last year sf0 was raised by subscriptinn and a state-aid library of 1oo books was secured. Nearly all the children enjoy the library. Mir. Franke endeavors to make the library of as much benefit and pleas- ure as possible. Whenever he sees an op- portunity in class to interest a pupil ln book he calls attention to the library, and allows the children to get books on any afternoon after school. They may keep the books for two weeks, but they are usually returned before that time has elapsed. spirit in favor of reading Is being encouraged and the children are referred to the library for aid in their studies. Jack Miller, one of the sixth grade boys, has read almost every book in the library. The books are kept in | l case which was made in the school. Nature Study and Agriculture In teaching nature study the teachers occasionally take the childen on outings | through the woods and over the neighbor- | ing hills. where there may be practical study and where specimens may be col | lected. A school fair was held last | Thanksgiving. and the children carried many varieties of fall flowers and wild plants, and also fruits and vegetables | from their home gardens. Live stock was included in the exhibits of the fair. Beside | the agricultural exhibits there was a dis | play of children's school work. Prizes | were offered for the best exhibits. Hattie Dawson. a fifth grade pupil, won the first ! prize. This was s5 in gold offered by the | principal for the most attractive and varied display of flowers and plants from | the woods. Several patrons of the school were presented and three of them acted as judges.
 | It is interesting to know that this | school one of the very oldest in the coun- ty, and one that has seen pioneer days,

HADN'T HEARD OF HIM
Fat Man Thought Oliver Goldsmith
 Was a Candidate for Office

Joseph P. Tumuty, secretary to the President, is a repository of all the good Irish and political stories extant in New Jersey. and tells them with an effective mimicry, says the New York Times Here's one of his best:
 MT. Humility was attending a political meeting in Jersey City near the close of the presidential campaign of 1900 James A. Hammill of Jersey City, now a dem- ocratic representative in Congress, was the first speaker and addressed himself to the theme of anti-imperialism. He as- sailed the Philippine policy Of the Me- Kinley administration, deciared that it saddled an alien and weaker people with a government in which they had no share and that the exploitation or the islands was undermining the principles of Amer ican life
 "As Oliver Goldsmith well said," con- cluded MT. Hammill:
 " I'll fares the land. to hastening ills
 prey,
 Where wealth accumulates, and men de-
 cay"
 After MT. Hammill had finished, the late Representative Allan L. McDermott arrived and was introduced to the audi ence. He made an anti-imperialistio speech. exclaiming that the sacred prin- ciples of American self-government were corroded by the greed of conquest. 'I can do no better" he said, "than to re- peat the warning so well phrased by Oliver Goldsmith:
 " I'll fares the land, to hastening ills .
 prey, r Where wealth accumulates, and men de-
 cay."
 The chief speech of the evening was de- livered by William J. Bryan. then can- didate for President. He arrived late from another meeting ana in ignorance of the nature of the previous addresses. This was his peroration:
 "I want a government based on right and justice: a government in which tho lowest man shall be permitted to realize his energies in every field of action. I believe that the farmer of the west Ia as capable of saying who shall consti- tute this government as the plutocrat of the east. want a government in which the least citizen shall be permitted to accomplish his destiny without being sub ject to any limitation except those which God has placed upon him. As Oliver Goldsmith has truly said-"
 At this point Mr. Tumulty felt somo- body nudging him in the rios. He turned to find his nelghbor. large, fat and per- plexed man, who whispered:
 What's this fellow Goldsmith running for, anyway?'
