Del Mar was hard at work in the
library when, suddenly, he heard a
sound at the panel. He reached over
and pressed button on his desk. and
the panel opened. Through 1t came
the diver still wearing his dripping
suit and carrying the weird helmet un-
der his arm.
THAT Dodge girl has crossed US
again!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"How?" demanded Del Mar, with an
oath.
Il saw her on the rocks Just now.
She happened to stumble on the
bomb which you left there to be
placed"
"And them" demanded Del Mar.
"She took It with her in her car"
"The deuce!" calculated the for
eign agent furiously. "You must get
the men out and hunt the country
thoroughly. She must not escape at
any cost"
The diving man dove back into the
panel to escape Del Mars wrath.
while Del Mar hurried out, leaving his
valet in the library.
Quickly Del Mar made his way to a
secret hiding place in the hills back
of the bay. There he found his
picked band of men armed with rifles.
As briefly as he could he told them
of what had happened. 1--WE must get
her this time-dead or alive" he or
dered. "Now scatter about the coun-
try. Keep in touch with each other,
and when you find her, close in on her
at any cost"
The men saluted and left in vari-
GUS directions to scour the country.

Journal.
For many years the courts Of this
country have been occupied with q
multiplicity of cases mostly resulting
from booze. and the several Justice
courts have been kept busy sentenc-
ing prisoners to Jail or fining them.
For years the jails have been crowd-r
ed to capacity and the fines have often
run close to 81 900 in a single Justice
court in one month. But conditions
have changed since the first OF the
year. The Jail has been empty at some
places a good share of the time; cases
have been few and far between. and
most OF them were slight misdemean-

carefully analysed. liquor would be

disputable fact that more managers

at which he stared eagerly. Far away

Concerning Medal Contests.

1t is evident from the letters we
are receiving from those interested
in THE Peace Contests" that the
communication in the Union Sig.
nal of April %, on this special work
was not carefully read. We gave
quite minute instructions regar ding
these contests-the new book OF
recitations-the medal designed by
the national superintendent, Mrs.
Bailey, the music. souvenirs, etc.,
also an outlined program. Look up
this issue and write me if you need
further information. The date of
these contests was to have been May
ls, Peace Day, but as the time was
limited owing to the book of recita-
tions not being ready as soon as
expected, we hope that these con-
tests will be continued until peace
is proclaimed. Now is the oppor-
tune time for the work.
Prohibition contests are being
actively pushed in nearly all the
states, especially in those that are
working for statewide prohibition.
We hope that an effort will be
made to hold high grade contests
during the summer, and early fall
months. Nearly every mail brings a
letter from aspiring contestants ask
ing if we cannot place them in a
diamond medal contest. Give these
young people an opportunity to win
the diamond medals. Half!rates in
the Columbia college of expression
of Chicago is a great incentive for
advancement.
Are you working for the special
medals offered by the different ma.
tional auperintendents, viz: Sunday
schools, humane education, anti
narcotics, franchise, peace and ar
bitration, red letter days and at in
stitutes. Report these differ ent de-
partment contests to the state con-
test superintendent. Every state and
territory has superintendent of
medal contests. Send to them or
your national superintendent for
supplies. As souvenirs for matron's
contests and the new members, we
have the Scotch bow pin. (See cata
log).
We hope you will cooperate ear
nestly with your state superintend.
ent in pushing this department,
thus enabling us to make the best
report ever given at national con-
vention.

Great Praise for Edgefield's
High School.

The following letter from Hon. j. E.
Swearingen has been received by the
trustees of the Edgefeld High School,
and the letter is most encouraging to
those who have been faithfully engaged
in this work, and all the patrons of the
Edgefeld High School:
Mr.. T. ]. Lyon, Edgefeld, S. C.
Dear Sir: Thanks for your report of
the Edgefeld High School. 1t is the
best showing yet made to this office for
any year of school work in any district.
The distribution of pupils throughout
the grades was uniform. This is a
gratifying evidence of the organization
of the school, the interest of the pupils,
and the careful oversight of the super
intendent.
The average attendance was frac-
tion above 80 per cent. Since attend
ance is one of the real tests of school,
l congratulate you most heartily upon
this feature of the report.
The patrons of the school should
never be satisfied with lese than a nine
months term. TheIresults you have &C.
complished during l914-15 prove beyond
question that the school ought to run
36 weeks. Other county seats and
neighboring towns would not be satis-
fled with anything below nine months
term. Your standard in this respect
is not only right but absolutely neces-
sary.
The high school attendance exceeded
my expectations. The report points to
larger enrolment in the high school
grades next year.
Above all, l am gratified at the fl.
nancial showing made by the trustees.
Notwithstanding all the advantages en-,
joyed during the year, the school clos.
ed the term free Of debts. AS long as
this policy of progressive organization
and economic administration continues
the growth and efficiency of the schoo
will be assured.
congratulate you most heartily
upon the success and accomplishment:
of the year, and wish you, your teach
ers, and pupils even better things du
ring 1856.
Yours respectfully,
J. E. SWEARINGEN,
State Supt. of Education.
