or called up on the phone by their
friends and asked if they desire to
take the trip, and if they do, their
friends rally to their support at once.
How much more would be accom-
plished by a little personal effort on
your part. A little energy and en-
thusiasm, a determination to win will
work wonders.
The work involved is Of an agree
able nature such as any young lady
will do easily and enjoy while doing
it, for the y4cognized merits of the
Sentinel as county newspaper makes
is an easy task to obtain subscriptions
both on their own efforts and the good
offices of their friends. The best way
to go about it i9:
Il First. If those nearest to you do
not subscribe regularly to the Senti-
mel, ask them to do so. This will give
you good start.
Second. Ask your married brother
or sisters to subscribe and save the
coupons for you. By so doing you
will get both the benefit of the new
subscriptions and the weekly coupons
which they will save for you.
Third. Tell your other relatives
what you are trying for, and ask them
to subscribe and save their coupons
for you. They will be only too glad
to help you, and you will thus have
three or four subscribers and several
people saving their coupons for you.
Then make a list of all your friends
and let them know what you are doing.

The benefits to be derived from cen

every day, and the opinion of the SEN

ascertained by reference to an editor

against the proposition Of a $4,000
bond issue, asked by the Board of Ed
'ucation for the construction Of new
school building. A letter received by
the Sentinel on Wednesday of this
week from Mr.. Charles Frank of Val

county, is pertinent to the question in
volved, and we take pleasure in repro
ducing it with the view Of its WELD

One Hundred at
Board Banquet

Board of Trade members and their
wives to the number of exactly 100
attended the banquet at Ye Tavern at
Leroy Wednesday evening. They went
in two special cars, leaving here at
p. M, arriving home at 11:30 and H.
80.
While absent only few hours, it
is reported upon good authority that
not one minute of the time was vast
ed. After dinner, which was a FIVE
course affair in which chicken pre-
dominated, many of the jolly party
repaired to the ball room. This was
the intense moment of course for S.
S. Oatman. They say that "Sim"
would rather dance than eat. But as
he had already done the latter, his
Joy was unconfned, and his pigeon
wings" flew right and left. ~
When things began t, look black
to him he caught breath by calling
off cotillions. The hall was so large
that the voice of one could not be
heard at both ends, so Rob. Mcdowell,
the renowned deciple of Terpsichore,
took position at t'other end and
between the two ends there was whirl-
ing in dervish glee.
Mayor Randall, we are informed,
refused to eat chicken without a guar
antee that it had been vaccinated. The
guarantee was Forthcoming, but Arth-
ur Van Epp, whom the law has taught
to take nothing for granted, wanted
an autopsy to determine the exact
member that had been treated.
Games were played by some Of those
who did not care TO dance and the par
ty was unanimous that the occasion
was in every way an enjoyable one.

Preparations for the county school
board convention to be held at Medi-

idly pushed to completion. Assistant
State Superintendent ]. L. Clifton will
be present to deliver an address. Rep
resentative P. O. Shank has promised
to be present and will talk on legisla-

A question box will be prepared and
any one desifin % ask questions
may do so by writing out his queries
and dropping them in the box before
noon. Time will be taken in the after
noon to answer them. Mr.. Clifton
will be given the opportunity to ex-
plain to all enquirers any phases of
the school question not we'll under
stood.
The County Board of Education
wants it understood that there is no
disposition on anybody's part to apply
a gag rule, but as this is convention
Of board members called in accordance
with the law for mutual exchange
of ideas, there is no doubt but that
most of the meeting will be taken up
in official school board business. How
ever, it is believed the question box
ought to furnish opportunity for dis
cussing any points not brought out in
the regular speeches.

WOMEN STUDY POULTRY

That women are paying more at
tention to poultry raising and are
favoring it as an occupation is indi-
Gated by the fact that five women
are taking the eight-weeks' course in
agriculture at the Ohio State Univer-
sity and are specializing in the study
of poultry. There is also one woman
in the straight agricultural course, ac-
cording to Homer G. Price, dean Of the
college of agriculture.
each year there are few women
in the eight-weeks' course" said the
dean. "They are usually enrolled in
the poultry course. Poultry raising
has become Of late a diversion for
some, as well as a money-making
proposition for others"

MANY NEW ORE BEDS HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED DURING THE
 PAST MONTH.
MONTHS OUTPUT is 6e CARS
Claims Considerable Portion of Ore Is Chased as Jack, But Bulk of It Is Sold on a Carbonate Base
 Grading Up to 50 Per Cent.
Marshall


 The North Arkansas zinc field now promises to be one of the best pro ducing fields in the United States During the past month extensive de posits of ore has been uncovered by prospectors.
 November was the most prosperous month since the mining fever struck this region, and a total of 69 carloads of ore was shipped during November the most of which was shipped from Marion and Searcy counties. The Red Cloud shipped seven cars and worked only eleven days; the Morn ing Star, six cars; Philadelphia Lead CT, six cars; Mcintosh, three cars, and Silver Hollow, three cars. These were the mines shipping the largest amount of ore. The remaining A cars were shipped by small workings After making liberal allowance for shortage in car lots below 30 tons the shipment of 69 carloads will easily reach 1000 tons.
 While considerable portion of the ore is classed as jack, yet the great bulk of it is sold on a carbonate base grading as high as 50 per cent in some cases. Taking the price of g few days ago of $75 a ton, which was offered some of the producers as a basis, the value of the zinc output for this field during November runs tC S150,000, assuming that the ore would not grade better than 40 per cent; but, In fact, most of it commanded 8 substantial premium above the base figure.

 Bill stood like one transfixed. What tender chord had been struck that he closed his eyes! He was back forty years in memory, at his mothers knee. How vivid, how appealing-a picture she had shown him of the Christ-child In a manager, of the devoted father and mother, as here before him, proto- type of that holy eve so real, so touch lng-the First Christmas! A mighty thought moved him as he quietly spoke:
 Friend, upstairs you will find com fort till the storm is over. Call it Christmas greeting-see? and was gone.

 For there Tn the distance the fa- miliar farmhouse showed no illumina- tion within, but beyond it a glare shot up-a haystack on fire! Bill reached the farmyard. The wind had blown the flames against one gable of the house and it was burn Ing. He ran to the stable for pitch fork. Then began fierce battle. Bucket after bucket of water he car ried. The last spark was dashed out, and Bill sank exhausted to the ground as the farmer and his family, visiting at a neighbours and attracted by the blaze. came rushing upon the scene.

 A particular housewife had present ed him with a roasted chicken because one side was slightly charred. On the rude table beside it were half dozen homemade doughnuts and a real mince pie.
 Bill took a last look at the goodly array of comfort then went out to seek a branch of arbor vitae which would serve as Christmas tree.
 As he neared the barn on his return he came to speedy halt.
 A light glowed over at one corner of the place. It proceeded from lantern set in the feed box of a manager. In the manager itself across the stale hay 1t contained a blanket was spread, and, swathed in coverings upon this, as revealed by the lantern rays, lay 9 little sleeping babe.
