The Childrens' Entertainment at
the Star Theater last Thursday night
will be a memorable event to the
Hurley people who attended. twas
one Of the finest productions ever
witnessed in the town. and the large
and appreciative audience: contri-
buted greatly to make the affair an
all around success.
Miss Dilts opened the program
with a delightful series of piano
numbers. child readings and whist
ling.
The next to appear were six little
grandmas, six wizzened, little crea-
lures, stopped and lame, in typical

grandmother garb, with caps, APP
rons, shawls and spectacles, who
hobbfed slowly to the front of the
stage where they were greeted with
ia ripple Of pleased surprise and
amusement from the audience.
These little grandmas, sewed, made
pies, danced, sang love song, drank
tea and gossiped according the read
ing of Mrs Patterson, and in time
to the appropriate piano music by
Miss Dilts. Their realistic acting
kept the audience in continuous
laughter. The height of the redic-
ulous" was reached when one little
grandmother, (alias Esther Thum)
became absorbed in the hopping and
forgot. to leave; and was SO surprised
and embarrassed when she discover
ed her solitude, that regardless of
dignity and rheumatism, she sour
rled away like frightened monse.
Following this, Miss Dilts proceed
ed to entertain the audience with
another treat consisting of a reading.
a vocal number, and a pianologue,
After this the curtain rose on a
wee dining room scene where wee
little lady was preparing tea for a
guest about to arrive. The little
guest is stylishls attired in hat and
gloves. We soon discover that there
is little jealousy between the two
little housewives. In the course of
the conversation about housekeep-
ing one is offended and the quarrel
starts, and wakes hotter, until it
eliminates liz the guests abrupt de.
parture and the hostess in tears.
There is a happy ending, however,
in reconciliation.
The little girls, Violet Vaughan
ard Marcia Woodward, assumed the
characters Of Qrown-ups to perfee-

notable feature.
The termination of evening per
formance was a Fairy Cantata. The

School Notes.

The enrolment at the present

last year. In the high school
there are now enrolled ~, while
last year at this time there were
80. The per cent of attendance
based on the enrolment during
the second month was IS.
Do you take as much interest
in the work your boy or girl is
doing, if they are getting along
we'll, as you do when their grade
shows that they are below the
average which you may Justly
expect in time? Remember,
parents, a word of encourage
meut from you means more to
your boy or girl than any other
reward you may want to bestow.
A real interest on your part will
greatly lessen the problem of
home and school discipline.
Regularity and puuctuality are
habits which are essential in the
business and professional world.
A good place to instil these char
acteristics is during the school
life.
$50, 600, 600 is spent annually
| in the United States for repeat
ers in the grades. It is estimat-
ed that IS per cent of this dead
capital and time could be elimin.
ated if the home would cultivate
a wholesome idea toward educa'
ton and its benefits.
If you keep your children out
of school on a count of any con-
tagious sickness, please be con-
sistent and don't let them run al
over town or to places of public
gatherings. The health board
| is taking every precautionary
measure to eliminate all danger
and there is no cause for alarm.
In fact the school of a city is
more sanitary and better veuti'
lated than any other public gath
eriug place, ordinarily, and the
danger of contagion is always al
a minimum.

Prominent Railroad
Man Testifies
Says He Feels Duty Bound to
Tell What Tanlac Did For
His Catarrhal Troubles.

Citizens 10 all walks of life are
testifying to the great benefits
they have received from the pre-
mier preparation, Tanlac. One
of the very first to place conf
deuce in the remedy and to give
it a trial in Topeka, was c. D.
Spear, a railroad clerk, who re-
sides at 1889 Tyler street. Be-
low is exactly what Mr.. Spear
had to say.
For years / have suffered
with catarrh of the head and
stomach, and have tried and done
most everything to get relief,
but without any results. About
five weeks ago was persuaded
to 90 into the Tully-McFarlaud
Drug Store and see Mr.. Pope,
the "Tanlac Man." to inquire
about Tanlac, and after talking
with him, / decided to try bot
tie of the medicine.
II got so much relief from the
first bottle, that l went back and
purchased six more bottles OF
Tanlac, and l can honestly say
that l feel better than ! have for
years.
Before taking Tanlac, l had
no appetite at meal time, but
about ten in the morning and
three in the afternoon, / would
get faint and hungry, and many
times would have to leave my
work and get something to eat.
l am not troubled this way any
more, I eat my meals at the reg
ular time, and what / eat does
me good, and the craving fol-
food between meals has all left
me.
II learned of Tanlac through
reading what it had done fol
others, and for that reason I feel
duty bound to tell what it has
done for me, hoping l may be
the cause of helping some Others
that are suffering, and may he in
doubt as to what it will do fol
them, and possibly may feel as ]
did, that there was no virtue in
any patent medicine"
Tanlac can be obtained in Bax'
ter Springs at the M. E. Reddy
Drug Store.

dent to a considerable degree up
on the good will and patronage
of the farming community sur
rounding US? And how many
ever give a second thought to the
comfort of the farmer and his
wife and children when they
come to town?
If we have never done any
thinking along this line before
it is not too late to begin now.
Let's begin.
We can not do everything at
once, but we can make n start in
the right direction by selecting
a convenient site and build sheds
where the farmers can leave
their rigs and hitch their horses
and feel safe in their minds that
their teams will not be frighten-
ed by the innumerable automo.
biles that are constantly whiz-
zing by.
Some may argue that there are
livery barns and feed sheds where
the farmer can stable his team
for a price.
True, there are. But when 4
man from town drives out into
the country and stops at farm
house does the farmer charge
him a quarter or a half dollar
for a place for his team to stand?
Not a bit of it. That team is
put right in the barn, or hitched
in a safe place away from the
road, and there is no price at
tached.
And if the town man is thus
taken care of in the country why
shouldn't the farmer be shown
equal courtesy when he comes to
town and spends his money here!
If we want the farmers trade
we will have to treat him right
when he comes to see US. If we
don't he will find other places to
20 and no one will have just rea-
son to complain.
This is but one of the items in
the count. Let's dispose of it
and then tackle the others.
Just why should George Bur.
kilt worry over his job as assis-
tant postmaster of the little viii
lage of Winnetka. Ill? Getting

and the lady is willing, whose
business is it? And if Mr.. Bur-
kilt wants to exercise the Amer
lean right of free speech in gen.

McNAIR TO TEXAS.

Mr.. Ed McNair, the genial superin-
|tendent of the New Orleans Dry Dock
and Shipbuilding Company, has told
an interesting story of how he
reached his wife and child while they
were on a visit to Galveston, Texas,
during the recent hurricane.
Mr.. McNair could receive no word
from them, and so he put out imme.
diately to find them. After reaching
Houston he was informed that ii
was impossible to reach Galveston,
but those who know Ed McNair know
that cant" isn't in his vocabulary.
He received some assistance from the
mayor Of Houston, Texas, and acted
as part of a Jewish relief committee
in order to get into Galveston. This
Jewish relief committee made their
way to the stricken island city by
walking, riding in wagons and boats,
and the most perilous part of the trip
was made in Ford automobile which
traversed a trestle over a river, and
|of course the auto had to travel on
the crossties to make the other shore
but nevertheless they arrived in Gal
weston.

peat has proved serviceable in many
ways In Germany. IL IS net only valu-
able for generating electricity at moor

at Elizabeth-Fehn, Oldenburg, con-
Yerts thirty tons of peat into nine of
coke, with gas and tar as by-products.

LACK OF BIBLE KNOWLEDGE.

Some years ago Doctor Thwing OF
Cleveland preached a sermon to col
lege boys and girls, in which he made
% quotations from Tennyson, relat-
ing to the crown of thorns," mama
in the wilderness" Moses striking
the rock" "JOshuas moon," "Jonah's
gourd,' Esau's hands" Ruth among
the fields of corn" the fate OF Lot
wife the church on Peters rock"
the serpent and Eve" the miracle
in the wedding in Cana of Galilee:"
a Jacobs ladder" etc, etc. He after
ward questioned the class about these
references and found that so per cent
knew nothing about them, says Ohio
State Journal. Nine boys and IL girls
never heard of the crown of thorns"
Seventy-one of the class of So were
wholly ignorant of what became of
Lots wife. Only IL out of the "a
boys could tell about Eve and the
serpent. The girls were better off in
this important knowledge than the
boys, for out of 81, 81 could tell the
story of the Garden of Eden. No doubt
all these students have had the usual
experience of Sunday school training,
but that doesn't answer. Bible study
has less of intellect than spirit in it..
