LONDON, Feb. 3.-The Germans have started an active aggressive movement along the battle front through Flanders and northwestern France.

 Trenches Captured and Recaptured.
 During the night German troops succeeded in capturing number of the trenches held by French troops but the arrival of endorsements en- abled the French to regain the lost ground. Both sides suffered heav- ily during the close fighting.
 Fresh Troops Sent To Front.
 The situation at the Yser river where the Germans are attempting to force crossing in their march to the French coast ports is considered serious. Fresh troops have been sent from Paris to relieve the soldiers who have been waglng uninterrupted bat tie for several days.

A Word About the Proposed High School
By THE SCHOOL BOARD

and an auditorium, which we known can be
built for $50, 600 and believing that we can
do it for $25, 900.
If you will figure carefully the increas-
ed taxes you will have to pay. we are sure
it will not be az much as your first thought
would lead you to believe.
We will assume that we issue the en-
tire SIC, 600 bonds. These bonds will bear
6 per cent interest or $500 per year. At
present we are paying about $500 per year
for the rooms we rent, together with main
tainance. This expense we will not have
if we build high school, Deducting the
$500 from the $500 leaves US $500, which
will be the actual increase in taxation. Our
valuation is 81, 100000. You will note on
this valuation that trife more than one
half Of one mill is all the increase necessary.
To make it little palmer; if you are
assessed at $1,000 your increased taxes
would be between so and 60 cents Surely
we can stand this very small assessment for
so good a cause.
It will be a.pleasure indeed for any
one Of US to explain any point you do not
.thderstand.
Isigned] BOARD OF DREcToRs,
School Dist. No. 6.
The Holly chieftain., 1915-01-01

Before deciding to put the question of
building new high school before the tax
payers of District No. 6. we studied care
fully our present condition.
We are now renting three rooms (none
of which are suited for school purposes)
and to have the efficiency the patrons are
entitled to and to keep up the standard of
our schools we should have still another
room.
The reason of this congested condition
is the rapid growth of our high school and
the adding of the commercial course. Two
years ago we had 81 pupils, this year we
have 85 and from the present data we have
we will have quite a number next year.
You are perhaps wondering why the add-
ing of the commercial course necessitates
more ROOM There are eight periods day
of forty-ive minutes each. During each
period some study of this department is re-
citing which makes it quite necessary to
have room.
Under these conditions we considered
it our duty to put the proposition up to you.
Needing these four rooms now and
tfnking it good business while we are
building 10 provide little for the future.
we are recommending seven or eight rooms

To Nip a Cold.

II you find you have caught cold in
spite OF precautions. nip II In the bud.
The time to attack a cold in order to
cure it is at the very start. At the first
smile or the first cough begin to fight
1t. Drink plenty Of fresh water. eat
lightly and get plenty of sleep.
Before going to bed take hot bath
and drink hot lemonade. Then cover
up warm and be sure there is no draft
between the windows and the door.
but have the windows open enough to
get plenty of air In the room. This
treatment will probably cause you to
perspire freely and you must be care
full not to throw of the covers and ex-
pose your overheated body to more
cold.
II this treatment is taken at the
start and carefully adhered to. 1t will
probably drive the cold right out OF
your system. But II you do not treat
1t at the very beginning 1t will have to
run it's course gradually.
