The following addresses were di-
rcctly pertinent to the question and
al. favorable to the High School. In

facts:
DIR. Alfred T. Cornwell: Urged the

Was for new High School then and
stronger for it now. Heartily in ia

Rev. S. G. Pitt: There is no place
we can less economize in than our
public schools. 1t is un-American-
ii we don't stand for the best educa-
ton. Urged adequate High Schools.
Frank McGallard spoke at some
length showing the utter inconsistent
cy and fallaciousness of a recent
public letter printed by Mrs. Perrine.
He declared that practically every
statement made was misleading and
in instances wholly at fault.
DR.. John H. Moore: This whole
subject has been threshed out very

The Order of Merit carries with it no special title or order of precedence, so that Mir. Henry James, in accepting that honor, was not embarrassed in any courtly trappings. In one respect the most democratic order. it is in others the most exclusive not only in England but perhaps in the whole world. The Order of the Thistle and the Order of St Patrick have fewer members on their rolls, it is true, though the companionship of the Or der of Merit has at times been smaller than either of them.

NOT HARD TO KEEP COLOR
Washing Look Best and Last For Long Time.

The recent agitation about inferior dyestuffs has made women hesitate when looking at the lovely summer fabrics. Here are a few hints about preserving the colors: For mauve or lavender put the articles in cold water with common baking powder adding to one-half gallon of water one table spoonful of soda. Soak onehalf hour, wash carefully in lukewarm water. using a little pure soap. Rinse thor oughly and dry in the shade. For blues, one teaspoonful of muriatic acid to gallon of water. For greens, alum water is good using four ounces of alum to a tubful of water. Often common salt dissolved in water will set colors A tablespoonful to a gallon of water. The dyeing of colored wash soods is most important. They should be dried quickly and in the shade Never hang a print skirt or waist double over the line, Hang it from one Of the wooden arms made pur- posely for hanging skirts.

Sheep Are Useful in Pasturng Of
 Weeds in Standing Corn.

two ways-in the amount of pasturage required and in the amount of winter feed needed
 In Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, h. diana and Ohio, wherever there is bluegrass, sheep should be run. These regions are peculiarly adapted to sheep growing in connection with gen. eral farming. The grass comes early in the spring and fingers until very late in the fall. In about three years out of every five the pasturage is such that the sheep can take pretty good care of themselves until well along in to the winter. With a pasture of this sort and cornfield full of soy beans or cowpeas the problem of sheep feed ing pretty nearly solves itself
 In this way the sheep-feeding season is greatly shortened and the feeding cost is cut down to a point where it amounts to very little. While you are forced to be shoveling out the corn, the silage and the cake to the cattle, the sheep are managing to get along with very little expense to their owner.

CAL0GlL WHEN BLIOUS2 NO! SIOP!
 ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE IN LIVER
Guarantee "DodsLns Liver Toe Will Give You the Best Liver and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had-Doesnt Make You Sick

Stop using calomel! It makes you sick. Don't lose a days worA. If you feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti- pated, listen to me!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking 1t up.

If you feel "all knocked out" if your liver Is tor pid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just try spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone.
 Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a
