PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


 When the gong sounded dismissal at 11:30 yesterday, nobody was late getting out.
 Our friends could save us consider able trouble in the matter of answer ing the telephone if they would take our announcements in the paper at face value. When we promised to dis miss in time for the parade, we meant it.
 Of the 43 pupils in our special room, only three were born in Con- way.
 Chicken poX has appeared in school. Parents will please see that children with decided symptoms of the disease stay out of school until danger of in- lection is past. It is a misfortune for a child to lose time from school, but it is not right for one to expose another, knowingly, to anything that would cause that child to lose. Let us be thoughtful for the interests of others.
 The pupils in room 10 have organ ized literary society. The first pro- gram appears elsewhere in this issue

COUNTY JUDGE HOLT
 WAS BUSY TUESDAY

Tuesday was County Judge Holt's busy day. The circus was in town and the judge had hardly time to at tend to it. With his grocery store and wagonyard doing rushing busi- ness, with trying to buy cottonseed at $37 per ton, when the producers want ed $40, and with his multifarious du- ties as general supervisor of the county's affairs, Judge Holt was call ed upon twice to officiate at weddings. The two couples were W. A. Bailey and Mrs. s. c. Birham of Holland and Sam Smith and Miss Fife Jones 10 Greenbrier. The fact that the judge was so busy did not cause any undue haste in the ceremonies, however, and he declares that both nuptial knots were securely tied.

The purpose of the meeting is to eff feet an organization. All alumni are cordially invited to attend.
 Preparations are making for the street carnival. The school will en- deavor to do it's full part in this worthy undertaking.
 Teachers and pupils sympathize deeply with the Canada children, who have recently been so sorely bereaved. The loss of mother is an unspeaka- Ible loss. Only those who have expe- rienced it can fully know the mean ing of it. And when the blow falls on the heads of young children it's force is greatest

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
 TONGUE IS COATED
IF CROSS, FEVERISH, SICK, BIL- IOUS, CLEAN LITTLE LIVER
 AND BOWELS.

Children love this fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! SSee if tongue is coated. then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs,' and in few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give "Califor- mia Syrup of Figs" because it is per- fectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for 5O-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be- ware of counterfeits sold here. Get the genuine, made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt-Adv.

part in some form of sport Tor varsity
teams alone CPS men entered in one
year and 425 of the 100 freshmen were
candidates for a freshman team. So
about 1000 of the $500 in the school
were directly interested in either var
slty or freshmen intercollegiate con-
tests This is about as near the ideal
OF athletics for anyone as can be ar
tanned.
In the varsity group the track team

300; basketball, SO; soccer 80; hockey

golf, 80. The figures on freshman athle-
tics are; Track team, 1875: crow, 125;
baseball, 500; football, %; cross-coun-
try, 80.
In addition to the 1000 men engaged
in varsity and freshman athletics the
