Liberty Bonds Good as Gold

Is Al per cent interest bearing
United States government bond a
burden? 1t is backed up by the best
security in the world-the entire re-
sources of this great nation, and if it
isn't good. nothing is good, not even
the dollars in your pockets. So why
call it a burden? 1t may make you
scratch some to get together the
money to buy them. but we'll never
be sorry that we got them.

The school exhibits were splendid.
Four rooms were filed with work
that reflected much credit on the
schools represented. A close exami-
nation of this work showed that the
schools of Terrell county are keep
ing abreast with the times, and that
they are using the most modern
methods of teaching.
Another interesting feature was
the exhibit of the home demonstra-
ton agent, Miss Ruth Smith. The
meat, flour and sugar substitutes at
tracted much attention, and the
mothers spent pleasant and profit
able day studying questions of@house-
keeping and home-making.
Miss Rowena Long, of Americas,
gave an interesting talk during the
afternoon on the work of the can
ming club. Several songs by canning
club girls frightened this part of the
program.
It was a day full of inspiration
for every one who attended, and it
is to be hoped that interest in the
school fair will increase from year
to year.
It is estimated that fully 1900
people were present, and a sumptu-
Gus and abundant dinner was spread.
The members of the County Teach
ers' Association wish to thank the
people of Bronwood for the generous
and whole-hearted hospitality extend
ed by them. Bronwood is to be con-
graduated for accepting the respon-
sibility of such a big undertaking,
and carrying it through with such
marked success.

Malaysians Believe Mountains Were
Placed to Shut Out Strange p.
Race Of YajuJ.

In the dak bungalow at Kwala Kubu
Tin Malayasia) the Chinatoy chowki-
dar, queue in pocket, shod in shoes Of
silent felt, served my breakfast. was
ut last on the threshold of a strange
expedition in a land to which no letter
ever came correctly addressed, so un-
known was 1t to the outside world. At
this moment the strangest thing in
sight was my breakfast. 1t consisted
chiefly Of tins of tiny Mongolian flnches
-humming birds in size, squads in
taste-canned q dozen in q tin. ~
AS I devoured the pitiful little birds,
bones and all, I looked up at tie
great Malay mountain range, the back
bone of the finger peninsula which
stretches southwark from Siam to
within sight of the fbund Of Singapore
itself. Mountains, so the Malays say,
are the wafl Of the world, shutting out
great winds and beasts tof prey. And
they believe that a strange race-the
Yajuj-are forever striving to bore
through, and when they succeed, then
will come the end of all things.
The great limestone caves scattered
throughout the mountains are places
where the Yajuj have attempted and
failed. There is nothing impossible or
unbelievable in all this, when one
comes to know Malay mountains In
all their weirdness.-William Beebe, In
