Abdle.tlons o. History.

Ever since dynasties have existed
there are records Of kings having abdi-
Gated from one cause and another. Far
back In the misty past one monarch
gave up his throne because ne was
'wearied with dominion :" another re-
tired out of preference for the free
dom Of private life; a third laid down
his crown because his schemes failed
still another abdicated in a at of mel
ancholy; and there are two instances
in which kings left their thrones be-
cause they we're unable to cope with
national crises.

Indians Good orchardists.

The American apple owes much to
the care Of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was an able pomologist. 1t was
not unusual $50 years ago for Indian
orchards to have 1900 trees, which
all had been duly pruned and cult
waited by the people we are prone to re-
gard as nomadic savages. The peach
and ounce were also cultivated by
them'in later years. To the world the
Indian introduced such fruits as the
persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple
and the Virginia strawberry.

Indians Utilized Irritation.

The Indian discovered for himself
the science Of irrigation. Many of the
tribes, such as the Crows and the
Apaches, early made use Of the river
bottoms for the cultivation Of their
staple crop-corn. When the condi-
ton of dryness came they would con-
struct a rough temporary dam of log,
with which they could divert the
course of part Of the stream into their
lands. There were primitive bitches
which distributed the water.

The Majestic MAGNOLIA.

There is no suggestion Of timldity
or coyness about the magnolia. 1t
never appears In the role of offering
an apology for being alive. No ex-
plantations are required. Like an in
dependent, self-respecting citizen IT
faces the world unafraid. In kingly
majesty 1t stands, an inspiring mas
terpiece Of grandeur, an unparalleled
display of natures sublime handiwork.

Difficult Achievement.

my young friends" said a member
Of the board of trustees, who was adj
dressing the school, "let me urge upon
you the necessity Of not only reading
good books, but also Of owning them,
so that you may have access to them
at all times. Why, when / was a
young man I used frequently to work
all night to earn money to buy books,
and then got up before daylight and
read them"

worrying Always weakens.

Worrying is always weakness, It Is
always danger. In a sense, though
often excusable and sometimes I'M
avoidable, 1t Is cowardice; and cow
ards, as Shakespeare tells us, Idle
many times before their DEATH" We
may regard worry as the price paid by
humanity for advance in education
and in refinement Of feeling; but 1t 10
a higher price than need be paid

County School Notes.
(By j. w. whitney

AT the present writing 49 school
districts have reported the results
of the annual school election held
June 10Th. District clerks who
have not reported will please do so
using form els. Certificates of
election and poll sheets should moi
be sent to this Office, but should
be kept in the records of the dist
riot clerk. Officers elected must
subscribe to the oath and send
to the Office of County Superin
tendent. All Clerks whether re
elected or not, and all treasurers
elected must execute a new bond
and file same with the County Au
ditor.
The Seventh and Eighth grade
manuscripts have been marked
and the standings mailed to the
applicants. Those who have moi
secured the required grade for
promotion will be given u special
examination on August 1O-11,
1917, if they SO desire. Subjects
below IS per cent must be re-writ
ten, and other subjects may be re
written with the view of raising
the grade. This examination will
be held at The County Seat.
The Bon Homme County Teach
ers Institute will be held at Tyn
dali on August % to % inclusive.
Prof. E.. d. Stivers of the State
College will conduct. Prof. E.
M. Everhart Of Washington
Springs will instruct in History,
Civics and Music. Supt. Sadie
w. BrOwnlow will instruct in Ru-
raj School Plans. Other instruc
tors and lecturers will be an
nounced later. The new Course
of Study will be considered by the
instructors in their class work.
The afternoon of August % will
be given over to to the Eighth
Grade Graduating Exercises.
Tyndall will welcome the Bon
Homme County teachers and will
spare no pains in the endeovor to
make the Institute of 1917 a men,
orable one.
The County Superintendent has
authority to approve the bonds of
the clerk and treasurer if said
bonds are not otherwise approx
ed.
A few district clerks have not
reported the school census for 1917
1t is important that the census be
reported without further delay as
other matters depend entirely on
the census from each district.
Whatever gives to the mind a
larger view increases individual
ity; whatever gives to the youth
the power of self control and of
inhibiting his impulses and whims
for the sake of combination with
his fellows, increases his higher
order of individuality and makes
him q more worthy citizen, and in
doing these things the common
school system is performing its
greatest work.

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

They do. not because It is a fad,
hut because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair ii is never wise to
use a makeshift but Is always al
visahle to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
OF about three cents a shampoo ny
getting some canthroN from your
druggist. and dissolving teaspoonful
in a cup Of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead of Just the top of the
head. as with most preparations,
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water Your hair will he so
fluffy that 1t will look much heavier
than ii is Its lustre and softness Will
also delight you
