School Trustees Meet.

The trustees of the Rocking
ham schools met Tuesday night.
w. N. Everett was elected
president of the board, in place
of W. c. Leak, deceased, who
had been chairman for over 10
years. To fill the vacancy on
the board caused by Mr.. Leaks
death, his widow, Mrs. w. C.
Leak, was elected.
The board appointed a COM
mittee consisting of Rev. Bruce
Benton, Claude Gore, L. J. Bell
and H. S. Ledbetter to arrange a
memorial service for MIR. Leaks
memory, the time to be announc-
ed later.
Also, at the meeting resolu-
tons were unanimously passed
protesting against the proposed
hog ordnance for the city, the
board taking the view that the
health and lives of 81 children
are worth more than the meat
obtained from hogs.
The board, sitting in conjunc-
ton with the city commissioners
in this matter, agreed to increase
the salaries of the teachers of
the city schools next term, the
increase to be determined by the
funds available.

ON GROWING BETTER.

There are thousand ways devised
for improving society, feeding the
poor, curing the sick, encouraging the
moral habit and Otherwise lifting the
world out of the mud. 1t is a great
thing and everybody should give lift.
But this thing of improving the mass
takes mighty lot of fruitless effort,
where the princips; good comes to him
who helps do the lifting, says Ohio
State Journal So ali moral reform
and civic uplife begin with the indi-
vidual, back In those days when his
soul is not hardened by habit and his
heart has not lost its love of the pure
and good. There comes a time when
It does, and then the smiling, sneering
attitude of mind take a large place in
public sentiment and pushes righteous
hope back to wait another century or
more. We don't know that arbitrary
methods for making society better will
bring success, but it is certain that
society will grow better If we remove
the hostile Influences that beset 1t on
every hand and which a materialistic
religion and a materialistic education
seem to be maneuvering all about
them. The only way out of our civic
and social troubles is TO convert love,
good will. courtesy. unselfishness and
the beautiful graces Of life into q per-
sonality that will stand forth blGyely
in every community and illustrate It's
virtues by It's deeds.

The fighting in Palestine has been
resumed. One of the strange features
Of this Judean campaign Is the fact
that in much of it the British troops
have been using maps made by their
lost commander in chief, Lord Kttch-

Kitchener, then & lieutenant. was en-
gagged on the survey OF Palestine, and
the maps which he made In the '7os
have been found useful BY the British

SLAUGHTER OF ROWING WILD
STOCK.

Figures compiled for the Missouri
Pacific Railroad show that OH fifteen
roads in Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana n tho past five years
&Ahere were killed l2l,596 head OF
|Ve stock, comprising 1926 horses
and mules: 41,536 cattle; 62,561 hogs,
1926 sheep and goats. and 2,729 9TH
er food animals. At current market
prices thes" animals were worth ST.,
100000. anu the slaughter averages
two head per mile per year
This waste Of food and draft ami
imals says the Federal Food Admin
istration is due almost entirely to
lack OF adequate fencing on the farm
and may be remedicd by the atten-
ton OF owners, as we'll as by stricter
laws In towns and villages prohibit
ing the running Of animals at largo.
Don't slaughter your light-weieht
hog. Feed them up on soft corn.
MIX distributors cannot now ar
bitrarily raise their prices without
consulting the United States Food
Administrator.
