A CHRISTMAS TREE.

The Christmas Tree and en-
tertainment at Sipe school house
on Christmas night was a very
enjoyable affair.
The entertainment consisted of
recitations, singing and panto-
mime.
Many beautiful and useful
presents were on the tree-the
teacher fairing most literally.
Messrs. J. w. Blake and Hayes
Hewitt added much to the fun
by their humorous recitations.
A large and orderly audience
was present, among whom were
the following: Misses Ethel
Westfall, Ivy Wilmoth, Grace
Keyser, Flosie Davis, and Messrs.
Earl Booth, L. 0. Baker, Bruce
O'Brien, Dan O'Brien, Orval
Wilmoth and Everett Wilmoth ;
Mr.. and Mrs. 0. Sapdridge, Mr..
and Mrs. milf" Wiseman.
A very pleasing feature was
the large number of parents and
patrons present. No trouble to
get a good crowd at Sipe, if you
have something doing"

child. Send him to carry'in wood
while you are doing so, If It
must be done.
Do not expect the teacher to
understand Jimmie's disposition
the first day. You have studied
it for six years, and there are
still kinks in it which you have
failed to straighten out
Do not plead lack of time to
visit the school. There is no ex-
cuse for Sinking a duty.
Do not reproach the teacher
with the fact that Tommy has
not learned a single thing the
entire year" She is not respon-
sible for his lack Of brains
Do not send a verbal request
to have Jennie's seat changed.
There is often no vacant seat,
and one change usually means
at least half a dozen.
Do not forget that the teach
er's interest in your child is per-
sonal. She will do more to help
him than anyone except your
self.
Do not expect the teacher to
manage without friction q child
whom you yourself have never
been able to control.
Do not insist that the teacher
is keeping your child back thru
spite. She will hardly risk her
reputation as an instructor to
crafty q personal grudge, how
ever disagreeable the child may
be.
Do not forget that the parents
owe a duty to the teacher just as
surely as the teacher does to the
child.

The BOND MONEY

In our issue of last week we
made mention that the Special
Road Bonds of Barker Distri, Il
had been sold and that the mon
ey was placed in the Belington
Banks. We have since learned
that the money from these Bonds
was collected thru the Citizens
National Bank of Belington, and
turned over to the Sheriff who
has placed it in depositaries of
the county.
While we concede that the
Sheriff has the legal right to use
his own pleasure in depositing
the money, yet as a servant OF
the people we maintain that it
was due the taxpayers of Barker
District to leave this money in
our own Banks

Isn't it strange that some
men, who will be kind and oblig-
ing to their neighbors, gentle
manly and polite to other ladies,
will be so rude and cold and
harsh athome, and perfect bears
to their wives-crabbed, snap
pish, ungenerous and altogether
unsocial and hateful? Does
anybody know of any such men?
Not that we wish to lay all the
wrong doing and blame on them
en- masse, not at all. There are
plenty of good, noble men, but
not quite enough. When they
are so strong, and have so much
power to do good, and win love,
and bless their homes, why
don't they all do it?

DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often fol-
lows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews,
Ind, writes: During the winter my
husband takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other"
Obtainable everywhere by all dealers.

PLAIN TALKS TO PARENTS

Do not fail to make allowance
for slight exaggerations when
hearing Of pranks in school.
Do not accuse the teacher of
undue favoriteism. If she is
kinder to one child than to an
other it's because that one does
not take advantage of the lib
erty allowed him. This is sim
pie justice.
Do not tell the teacher that
Willie will not lie. She may
know better.
Do not condemn the teacher
without a fair hearing. This is
accorded to even the worst Grim
inal. There are usually two sides
to the story.
Do not send q scathing note
to the teacher by Nellie, the con-
tents Of which she knows. Her
aggressive look of triumph is not
soothing, and the teacher is only
human.
Do not make unfavorable com
ment upon the methods of the
teacher in the presence of your

A WORD TO THE BOYS

Our young friend, did you ever
know-can you call to mind a
single case of a person, who,
having his own way to make in
the world, spent his time on the
street or in any other form of
idleness or dissipation, to sue
coed in any eminent degree in
any enterprise? Look over
your list of friends and &C
quaintances and note their
course. Do you not find upon
examination that those who to-
day are men of influence and
honor, were the youths who
made the most of the valuable
time, turning it to good account /?
And, on the other hand, do you
not find that those who stood on
the corners with a pipe or cigar
in their mouth, went from bad
to worse, from worse to ruin?
Sadly must the answer be made
that it were not so-they
have failed. VIII you profit by
the experience OF others? Go
not that way. Never be idle.
Every moment Of your time is
a golden one-use it as such,
improve the mind, fix your mind
on some noble object; be men.
The call is for men viii you not
be one Of that number who can
say, II am a man?'

The minor leagues were the largest

others hung on in order 10 protect

cause the minor league Inagnate is
cften an individual who goes into the
game more for the sake Of sport than

the venture.
The minors, however. want condi-
