LOVE on 4 MOUNTAIN

The girl looked down and Q wistful
smile curved her lips. She was pale
with the intense heat. but she knew
that the old mans sluggish blood was
chilled.
Priscilla stood on the doorstone

away into dim blue haze.
The thought that was ever present
smote her sharply now. II anything

she do? What could she do?
Teach school. of course, and there
were her domestic talents. Was she
not even now supporting herself and
her grandfather by the sale Of her
pickles and preserves, her canned
fruit. her potted mincemeat?
She could continue to do that, but

mountain top-and unsafe to stay
there alone. Priscilla was young.
She longed for pleasure. for love.
She blushed at the thought. and

and IA years of age are required to
attend for at least 80 days each
year, unless exempt because of ply
steal or mental disability; because
they live two and one-half miles
from school and no transportation
is provided; because their services
are required for the support of a
dependent family; or because their
parents are unable to provide books
and clothing.
By the provision of the law the
county boards of education are
authorized to appoint attendance Of
ficers to enforce the law and take a
census of the children between 6 and
81 years of age.
Although the Florida law is thus
of the optional type, it is clear
recognition of the compulsory prin-
ciple and is regarded as a real step
in advance.
Officials of the Bureau of Educa-
ton point out that this years COM
pulsory educational legislation is
part of big educational advance
all along the line. Nearly all the
State legislatures were in session
during 1915, and much of the edu-
cational discussion that has been
going on for several years crystal
lied into law. The Alabama legisla-
ture has reconvened for thesummer
session and much school legisla-
tion will be iscussed, including a
compulsory education law. The
fact that Alabama does not meet
again for four years makes it likely
that Georfia and Mississippi may
get ahead of her in adopting COM
pulsory education, unless action is
taken this year.

FATE OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IN GA. SETTLED THIS WEEK

Atlanta, Aug. 3.-After listening
three hours Saturday afternoon to
arguments for and against woman
suffrage, the constitutional amend
ments committee of the house of
representatives postponed action on
the suffrage bill until it's next meet
ing, which will be held one day this
week on the call of the chairman
of the committee, Representative
Shelby Myrick of Chatham county.
Hearing HELD.
The hearing was held in the hall
of the house of representatives and
was attended by an audience of
women, who occupied practically all
the seats and filled the aisles around
the front. Whenever an especially
good point was scored IN favor of
votes for women the audience APP
plauded and cheered. Chairman My
rick was not very strict in his en-
forcement of the rule against thes
demonstration, and no member of
the committee interposed any OBJ
lection. The ladies were allowed to
give full vent to their feelings.
Although it is generally expected
that the committee will vote adverse
to the passage of the suffrage bill.
there was noticeable drought the

suffrage and its advocates. Last
year the constitutional amendments

MEAT AND BREAD IN GERMANY

The advice that is given to Ger

of certain food supplied in their
country. The Berliner Tageblatt
prints the following as given in an
English translation; but sent to the
Patriot from Paris:
q. Be careful of, and economical
with, anything that may be of use.
Waste no remains, nor odds and
ends, that may be used in any way
whatsoever.
Eat war-bread, which is as good
and sustaining as other bread.
There is no lack of potatoes; wheat
will run short unles potatoes are
used with it.
SO. Leave wheaten-bread for in
valids. Make no cakes; the stock
of wheat is inferior by one-third to
what is required for ordinary con-
sumption.

there are large offers of animals for

We may soon be short of meat, and
