WHAT NEXT?

Cleanup day is gone; Baby Cam
paign week is over; the Flag was Rails
ed; but we want everybody to think
of all these achievements as just be-
sun, for truly the follow-up work is of
much more Importance than any COM
mencement exercises. The flies and
the mosquitoes we shall still have with
US. The babies are still to be guarded
from disease; our patriotism is Of a
poor quality indeed if the raising of
the flag ended it. Many houses are
still unscreened, many sewers are still
in a bad condition, many tin cans will
still be emptied and thrown out to hold
the rain water which will breed the
mosquitoes, which will COVE you mala-
ria, which will make you pay doctors
bills and maybe also bring the under
taker to your homes. As individuals
now let US make an effort to follow up
the work of the organization: Follow
ing the flag now they .ell us will mean
living some on corn meal, and using
the mustrad and onions and all other
garden products as they come along,
instead Of the expensive white flour
high priced trifes eff the grocery
shelves. A few people think it impos-
sible to enjoy anything but white
bread; few do not know how to break
the custom Of having biscuit three
times day, because others are not do
ing it. 1t viii help any to break away
from the procession we shall be glad
to publish the following story: )(.,,
The great French naturalist Fabre,
once joined the front end of a process
sion Of catterpillars to thehind end and
the catterpillars went on, circling
round and round the stone curb of
big vase in the garden day after day
for week. The caterpillar quality
of mind dies hard.

o LITTLE MOTHER OF NINE

Sometimes in the hush of the evening
hour,
When the shadows creep from the
west,
think of the twilight songs you sang
And the boy you lulled to rest.
The wee little boy with the touslad
head
wonder if sometimes YOU LONG for
that boy
o little mother of mine!
And now he has come to mans estate
Grown stalwart in body and stronr
And you'll hardly know that he was
the lad
Whom you lulled with your slumber
song.
The years have altered the form and
the life, "''
but his heart is unchanged by time
And still ne is only the boy as of old
Y little mother of minel

GIRLS HAVE PRETTY FACE
AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

An Atlanta man makes new discov.

younger If your skin is dark, brown
or covered with freckles or blemishes
just use little Cocotone Skin Written

a new complexion.
just ask your druggist for an ounce
of Cocotone Skin Whitener, and if he
will not supply you send twenty-five
cents to the Cocotone Co., Atlanta,
Ga, and they will send you box by
return mail
If your hair is hard to comb, is
kinky, nappy and will never stay
straight, just use Cocosone Hair Dress

soft, glossy and beautiful in a few
days. Mail orders filled 25c for large

From the waste dumps on Union

so tons of ore has recently been

Supt. Durkee as follows:
From the 6O0-foot level, No. 5

feet, west drift from No. ; cross
cut made 10 feet, raise from No. 2
north crosscut west, Is feet, max
ing a total footage of 81 feet for
the week. Due to pump repairs,
one and a half days work was lost
in the mine during the week. Since
the Earl contact has been struck.
the flow of water in the mine work
ings has increased steadily, and
without question when the Earl fis-
sure is reached, a much heavier
flow will be encountered. For the
above reason, the advancing of the
east drift has been discontinued
until an adequate pump can be in
stalled.
To develop the ore body desig-
mated as the Earl south ore body
which has been stopped to the $50
foot level of the Earl, a cross-cut
will be started at once and driven
south from the Earl fissure.
