FLAT ROCK GRADED SCHOOL
OPENS WITH GOOD OUTLOOK.
(Contributed.)

A happier, more enthusiastic
and more hopeful schoolman In
Henderson county would have
been hard to find on Monday OF
last week than was Principal R. 4.
Reed when he greeted some Lie
pupils assembled for the opening
of the Graded school at Flat Rock.
During the week prior to the
topening of the school, Mr.. Reeu
his entire time to visiting the
thomes of people of his eommun-
ity, making preliminary arrange
ments and holding a conference
with his teachers, Miss Stepp OF
the State Normal and Industrial
college, who has had charge Of
the intermediate work of the
school for three years, and Miss
Slade of the Georgia State Normal
college, who has charge Of the
primary work.
That the parents are going to
cooperate with the school in try
ing to have the best school in the
county and that Mr.. Reeds week
was well spent, was demonstrated
by the large percent of the small
Ter children present and the pres
ence of every pupil Of the two high
school grades in which the school
is now meeting the requirements
of the State Department of Edu-
cation for schools doing two years
of high school work.
In a recently meeting of the
school board, Chairman J.. S. Jones
stated that the school building
was now or would be shortly, as
soon as the painting ofthe OUT
side sof the building was complet-
ed, In the best condition since 1t
was built. The walls of the rooms
and halls have been calcimined a
dull green, all the woodwork re-
stained and the floors and desks
Scrubbed and re-eiled. An ency-
clopedia has been purchased and
some 20 or more dollars worth Of
pictures added since the opening
last year.
In making the announcement
that the schOol-board had~plan-
ned to do some work on the school
grounds, Nh. r statedit seemed
as a result of the effort made last
year to keep the grounds clean and
the 3 or 4 cords Of limbs his boys
and be had worked up after the.
sleet, the Board had given them a
happy reWardin deciding to spend
as much as 5000 if necessary to put
the grounds in good shape and
beautffY them: =

seedlings begin to come through.
There are some soil which dry
out to a considerable depth in the
middle of the day under hot
May sun. To keep them from
getting too dry while you are
away at work put newspapers
over the seed bed in the morning.
Sometimes straw or hay is scat
tered thinly over the beds.
But whatever scheme you adopt
be sure that the roots, when they
first peep out, don't peep into
dry soil. Similarly they should
not peep in soil so wet that it is
mud.
You are now waiting for your
little plants to come through the
surface.
There may be frequent rains.
A hot sun after a single shower
will soon form a cake on the sur
face and dry out the moisture
from below. This cake should be
broken up as soon as you can get
at it. II you can get to work on
that caking while the surface is
still moist, but not muddy, it
will be better for your plants.
Keep the surface loose.

CHAPTER 5.
SOWING THE SEED

When you SOW the seed the
surface of your bed should be
moist, but not wet. The best way
to plant seed is to make drills.
That is: take a. stick with a blunt
point and run 1t along the soil in
straight lines the length of your
bed, or the width, whichever
seems best to you after figuring
out just how the sun will hit it.
For large seed the drills should
be an inch or little more in depth.
Nearly all seed packages give in
structions as to the right depth.
Cover the drills with the finest
dirt and press down lightly.
Where the seed is scattered over
the surface take a board and
press the soil down evenly all
over.
After planting your seed
moisten the soil, but do not de-
LUCE it. The soil should be kept
in a moist condition until the

It is said that the crisis in our relations with Mex
leo is acute; that Carranza has been threatened by
our state department that warships will be sent to
Vera Cruz that General Obregon's conduct of af-
hrs at Mexico City endangers the lives and has al
ready seriously damaged the property of some 3d.
900 foreigners and that, in general the situation is
worse than at any other time since that bad time
with Huerta
The situation Is not at all surprising. Wisely
and courage0usly, in the face of domestic abuse
and foreign pressure, President Wilson has
stuck to his policy Of letting the Mexican people
settle their troubles, but the standing difficulty
has been that the Mexicans would not permit
him to let them alone It has all along been
within the power of an Obregon, a Villa, or
Carranza, to make it impossible for Uncle Sam
to keep his hands Oft, notwithstanding how deaf
he might be to the demands Of the dollar policy
fellows.
So long has he been patient and so mindful of the
rights and interests Of the Mexican people has Pres
ident Wilson been, that If he has to change his
policy, the civilized world will commend him if he
takes steps that will justify strong hope Of perma
emit suppression Of the anarchy that reigns south of
the Rio drande.
The Mexicans have demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of the world that they don't know what they
want in the way of government that they utterly
incapable of sef-government The country is now
at the mercy of the anarchy of looters and the
archy of bandit generals IL the limit of endurance
Of Mexicos best neighbor and best friend has been
passed, she must be treated an incompetent and
Irresponsible She must be governed by those who
can govern, for her own good and the good Of her
neighbors.
Mexico is in the same condition that Egypt was
not many years ago-anarchy in government,
natural resources going to waste and the common
man an unfed, unremunerated, unhappy beast OF
burden
Given stable government, Egypt took prosper
ity The common man no longer had to buy justice,
and part of what he earned became his, that he
doesn't hear even the call for. a Holy War.
And when you can't get folks to kick against the
status quo by working up their religious fanaticism,
you bet they re mighty satisfied with their gov
ernment be the same foreign or native

WHEEL TOOLS

If the backyard gardener
finds he has more space
than the average house,
holder, he may economic
labor by purchasing more
tools. To cultivate a fairly
large plot on hands and
knees is to cultivate the

tools now so popular are in
valuable. One tool with the
various accessories such as
seeders, weeders and culti-
vators, which go with 1t will
do much to tighten the
labor in the larger garden.
