Many people profess not to believe
there are any such things as germs,
regardless of the fact that germ hav~
been proven by foremost scientists
not only to exist, but to produce dis
ease and death as we'll. However, the
number of epople who are still doubt
ing Thomases on this subject are
steadily growing Less. This diminu-
ton in the number of unbelievers is
being brought in two ways. First,
many of those who do not believe in
bacteria are careless in regard to ex-
posing themselves to them, and are,
as a result, killed off by the germs.
And second, as new generations arise
they are being taught as they grow up
tnat germs really do exist and that
they are responsible for many of our
human ills. Those who do not believe
in bacteria advance as their principal
argument the fact that they have Of
ten been exposed to contagious dis
eases and have not contracted such
maladies as a result of such exposure.
Again, they say there is nothing in
the theory that common drinking cups
spread disease. for they have been
drinking out of such cops for years
and are not dead or even sick as L
consequence. Those who advance
these ideas lose sight of two things:
Many Paid the Penalty.
First, that while they themselves
may have escaped, many others have
paid the penalty of such carelessness
with their lives; and second, that
while they may have escaped so fa1
tleir lives may yet be cut off at any

Four Special
Trains Dogs
For Front

PARIS, Jan. S.-Four special trains
Of dogs have just been sent to different
parts of the French battlefront One
train of twenty-five cars had twenty
five dogs in each car-foxterriers, rat
terriers, police dogs and other breeds
to be divided between different sections
o fthe fornt and most of them employ
ed in chasing rats out of the trenches.
Attracted by the remains of the sold
iers' rations, rats invaded the adyanc-
ed works, shelters and trenches, even
en- the first line, and multiplied to such
an extent that the soldiers are inca
pable fext9rmnating them. Dogs are
now to be tried.

If You Must
Be Married
Beware Now

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. S.-Beware of
pretty blondes, if you are on your way
to your wedding, is the advice that w.
B. Blackwell, Jr, of Selma, Ala, gives
TO all and sundry.
Mr., Blackwell, who is a son of for
mer Sheriff Blackwell, of Dallas coun-
ty, Ala, was at the Terminal here
on his way to Charlotte, n. c., where
he was to be married He was waiting
with his best man for the train and
thinking what a bright and beautiful
world it was when the world was sud
denly made more beautiful by the ap-
pearance near him of the prettiest lit
PIE red-lipped blends anybody ever
saw.
Hug me tight, and kiss me good
bye she was saying to an escort, and
While Blackwell was watching the
II gging and kissing rather intently
somebody slipped up behind him and
sole his overcoat and suitcase, con-
aiming all his money and the wedding
ling.
Blackwell is stranded in Atlanta to-
day, waiting for the money he tele-
graphed to Selma for, and he can't
quite figure out whether it was all a
coincidence, or whether the pretty
blond staged the kissing scene all on
purpose to make him an easy mark.

START THE DAY RIGHT.

Just wait little boy moment l pray,
Has something gone wrong with the
bright sunny ray?
You hurry and worry, you cry and you
fret,
While the most of your troubles have
not happened yet
DC your lessons perplex you, and ali
goes wrong,
Do you spend the time crying instead
of in song,
Then there is the secret I'll pledge
honor-bright,
You just didn't start the day right.

The grades of the school had their
Christmas programs a day or two be-
fore Christmas
We were very disappointed at the
small number of visitors we had.
Most of the visitors that came went
into the primary grades and not into
the higher ones. When the primary
grades got through with their pro-
grams the visitors seem u think it's
time to come up to the 9Th and 7th
grades then, after we are through
with our programs. We appreciated
the visitors that did come in our room
fist.
There will be programs on the 18th
Ct January and on the 18th of Febru-
airy, too.
Let's all come to this program, and
we're sure you will get your reward.
Some Of the members of the Board
OF Education and Miss Mexican and
MIR. Hoist went to Columbus Thurs
day. They went to inspect the schools
and said that they were very large.
They also said that the schools of
Americas were just as good as those
of Columbus, only not as large.
Thursday we did not have Domestic
Science or Manual Training. Miss Nc
Kean and Mr.. Hoist went to Column
bus.
Miss Foute had a study period in
our room and she read to us all of
the last period. We wish Miss Foute
would have all the study periods iwth
us if she would read all the time.
