GENERAL NOTES.

After untiring efforts Of every
one at Haley for Junior Red Cross
we have reached our goal and our
s125 was shot over the top this
week
Some most beautiful manifesto
tons OF sacrifice and patriotism
have been displayed in this cam
paign and all the teachers feel they
have been more than repaid for
their labors By the realization that
the spirit Of Haley is so truly loyal
and self-sacrifcing.
In many instances, especially
among the smaller children, sacrifice
even 10 deprivation and want were
known. Many children we're able
70 bring but a penny a day and this
penny was the recOmpense for per-
haps hours OF labor. One little girl
watched by the geeses all day and
received only a penny. which she
was told she could have for candy,
but she refused that she might drop
1t in the Red Cross box.
Another little child stood watch
ing some of her little classmates
~ - - ffAAAE NAANAA pennies IN the DO&
and with tears in her eyes said:
Teacher. I haven't any pennies
cause l haven't any papa"
Corn has been popped and sold
here at the building. cocoa made
and sold; yards raked; coal carried:
ashes hauled rags paper, tinfoil
sold. Each and every child has en-
deavored in his own little way TO
gain for himself a membership into
the Junior Red Cross.
This is true patriotism. II each
little foreign boy and girl in their
own childish way can be as brave
little soldiers as these. We surely
have much 20 look forward 10 in our
future from this element Of our cit
izenship.
In Ska history class Friday the
time was given 10 the oral topics
which had been outlined and pre-
pared by different members OF the
class. The stories were on the cru
sades and all were very Interestingly

Next 20 Christmas. Easter is the
most beautiful day Of the year You
can hear the robins and other birds
sing so cheerfully that it seems as
though the birds realize the arrival
Of Easter.
Easter this year will not be as
beautiful as il was last year. because
we have had very severe winter
and the ground is very hard and the
flowers and plants cannot grow.
There are very few places where
YOU can see grass or flowers Eas-
ter comes on the 81 day of March
this year. IL is quite early toward
when it came last year.
Many people will not have a joy
ful Easter. because they have boys
gone 20 war, and without them il
makes a sad Easter
This year L am going 20 my uncle's
farm 10 spend Easter day. out there
the birds sing all day, and YOU can
see everything birds chickens.
cows and even sheep. / viii make
myself cheer up when we go out
there.

THIRD PRIZE
By Prank FIeck. MuesseI school.

BY frank EtcCk. hucSSel school.
There was once a small boy who
lived in a very large city. His father
was quite poor, but they did not
grieve over their poverty. But one
day as this boy was looking at a
calendar he saw that the next day
was Easter He was very glad be-
cause he always found many Easter
eggs.
The next morning when he got up
he looked all over the house but he
could not find any eggs. He began
10 cry and went out on the front
door steps where ne continued TO
sob. While sitting there a man came
20 him and asked the trouble. He
told him. This mans name was
Herbert Hoover and he was the food
administrator
The man said: Wouldn't YOU
like TO have the United States win
the war" He replied. YES" We'll.
II you had had Easter eggs YOU
would have cheated some soldier
out Of something to eat. You would
have eaten some of the food that
would make a soldier strong and
healthy"
This man then took the little boy
10 church where he heard excellent
music, and a fine program When
he got home he thanked the man
and said This is the best Easter
I ever had. even If IL was eggless.
because 1 am helping my country.
and ! also helped some soldier in
France"
Until the war is ended most OF
the casters will be egEless.

CUT THIS OUT \
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

If YOU know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal DeafneSs, nedu
noises or ordinary Catarrh cut out TINS
formula and hand il to them ana you
may have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized that
catarrh is a constitutional disease
and necessarily requires constltu-
tional treatment
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the Gelicate ar
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is con-
stitutional treatment and SHOULD
prove especially efficacious to suffer-
ers here who live under more favor
able climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce
of Parmint Double strength). Take
this home and add to it q pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times a day. This will
often bring relief from distressing
head noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy and
hearing improve as the inflammation
in the eustachian tubes is reduced
Parmint used in this way acts direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic
action that helps to obtain the de-
sired results. The preparation is easy
to make, costs little and is pleasant
to take. Every person who has ca
hearing should give this treatment a
trial.

Troop Eight Is Busy
. With Much War Work

The scouts of Troop have made
good use of the vacation from school
to help with the Fourth Liberty
Loan, the War Work Campaign and
also in shipping peach stones to be
made into gas masks.
We have made some progress in
decorating our scout room, and we
invite any scout from any other
troop to come to one of our meet
ings and compare our room with
his. (The office scout would like
an invitation too.)
Last Monday night about twenty
five of our scouts demonstrated that
they knew either five letters of the
general code or seven of the sema-
phore, and next Monday night the
same scouts will know five or seven
more letters If they wish to be mem
bers of Troop S.
Our Parents Night" which has
been delayed so long on account of
the flu epidemic, will be held on
the 18th of December. The semi
annual indoor meet will be held
soon after that.
We decided at our last meeting
that the Eagle and the Lion patrols
will have a basketball team which
Will play against a team from the
Tiger and Wolf patrols. In that way
we can select a first team from the
best players. No scout who is not
a second-class scout can play on
Troop eight's basketball team.
