TWO IMPORTANT SCHOOL LAWS
Law FOrbidding the Use of Tobacco
Will BE Rigidly Enforced by
Authorities.

- In making it's announcement re-
garding the opening of school the
school board places special empha-
Sis upon the fact that the state law
prohibiting the use of tobacco by
students will be rigidly enforced
this year at Usage, says the News,
Students are warned that their
school privileges continue only so
long as they abstain from violation
Iof the law. superintendent, prin-
cipals and teachers have been charg-
ed with the strict enforcement of the
law and they have no option but to
follow instructions.
All persons between the ages of
and 16 are subject to the provi-
sions of the compulsory school al
tendance law. No child is entitled
to enroll unless he is five years or
more of age at the time of entry.
In a graded school it is impossible
to start beginners at other than the
stated time of the year. Therefore,
it is an inflexible ruling of the board
that all beginners-those entering
school in the lowest primary classes
must enroll not later than the
third Monday of the fall term.
While the law permits children
of five years to enter the public
schools, educators agree that those
beginning at the age of six make far
better progress than those who en-
ter at an earlier age.

Stripcs on The Barber Pole.

How many of our readers can tell
us what the stripes on barber pole
signify? You see the pole with its
stripes and you know there is bar
Der shop back of the pole, but here
the knowledge of the average per-
son ceases. In the early days barb
ers did the bleeding for the commu-
nifty and surgeons were not as plen-
tiful as they are now.
The first thing thought necessary
way down to the time of George
Washington's death, was that any
patient should be bled. Tap him,
and take a few ounces of blood from
him, no matter how weak he might
be. When Washington was at the
last gasp, they bled him.
Well, the red stripes on a barber
pole means the red ribbon bandag-
es that BARRIERS bound over the
wounds caused by the bleeding of
people.

ROASTING MOST OF TINE.
The Fable of the Young Man Who
Always Was "Going to-"

Once upon a time, in town that
boasted the residence of three souls
who had seen Gertrude Hoffman
dance, there lived young man who
spent most of his time Boosting of
what he was going to do.
For, had he not spent year in
Chicago? And did he not know the
world and the big opportunities ly-
ing around in it? He did.
But this young man never would
explain why he had never grasped
any of the opportunities. Just wait"
and You just watch me-" were his
favorite expressions, and as sure as
days came round he would tell his
friends of having just turned down
a flattering offer from some captain
of commerce who had earnestly en-
treated him to accept the position
at twice the salary of their presi-
dent. He declared prominent mer-
chants, wealthy manufacturers, and
eminent statesmen were bitter enc
mics of one another because they
knew each were after this young ge-
nius's services. The man who owned
the grain elevator in the little town
had insulted our young hero by Of
fering him job as their weigh
man at what any other boy would
have considered big wages. In fact.
there was but one person in the town
who could understand the mysteri-
Gus youth That one person was his
father. The father more than once
had found his son unable to add a
dozen figures correctly or write five
words that any human might read.
MORAL-There's always rea-
son.

RUTH SENDS WORD.

young womans puzzled Aunt one
morning, Il want so much to ask her
what to do for these rugs and car
pets that are curling up at the edg-
es. / know she would know rem
edy. I'm just going to write and
ask her what to do.
And she did. And in two days
time she had this answer from
Ruth:
Dear Aunt, keeping your car
pets from cupping up at the edges
is the easiest thing in the world.
Just try this and you will not have
any future trouble: Lay your rug
or carpet upside down, on level
floor. Make very thin cooked starch,
and add five cents worth of powder
ed gum arabic, dissolved in a little
water. Apply to the back of the rug
with a paint brush, and when the
rug becomes dry it will be like new.
If you should want to know any
thing more, / shall be glad to help
you, if can. Hoping that you are
all well, l am etc"

A Good Catch.

The old physician is an enthusi-
astic angler in every sense of the
term. While on his way home from
a fishing trip he received an emer-
gency call. The proud, newly made
father was impatient to have the
child weighed, but couldn't find the
steelyards, so the physician had to
use the scales with which he weigh
ed his fish.
Great Scott Doctor! exclaimed the
father as he saw the pointer go up
thirty-seven and a half pounds!
