AN ENGLISH VIEW OF
THE TEACHERS TASK

There never was a period in our
history when teachers had a greater
opportunity or heavier responsibility.
The nation is awakening as never be-
fore to the possibilities of education
and to the necessity of combating ig-
norance in all its forms-physical,
mental and moral. The war is burn
ing into all the value of knowledge
and ordered discipline, Of devotion to a
great danger and common cause; but
there is the danger that in reaction
consequent upon peace and in the tur-
MOL of material reconstruction the
spiritual truths enforced by the war
may be forgotten or obscured. 1t will
rest largely upon the teachers to Sc
cure that these truths become part of
the inheritance of the coming genera
ton, and that the full influence of edu-
cation may be directed to the train
ing of men and women imbued by
lasting ideals of public service and
self sacrificing citizenship.-Hon.H
L. Fisher, President of the English
Board of Education.

WAR PERIOD RICH
IN DISCOVERIES

That medical science is not asleep
during the war is proven by the man.
ner in which the possibilities offered
by the discovery Of Irogen were in
stantly realized and developed for the
good of humanity.
Irogen, it is claimed, is a discovery
for the weak. Weak, nerves, weak
weak stomachs-in fact weak
organs in general are greatly strength
ened by it, and those who have taken
it claim that even weak compilations,
pale and sallow, take on the ruddy ap-
pearance Of health under its influence.
Warning is given, however, that,
owing to its wellknown fesh-building
powers, Irogen should not be taken by
one who does not desire to add flesh.
Note-Irogen, the product mention
ed above, is on sale in Brownsville by
J. D. Curtis Drug Co.; in Stanton by
Stanton Drug Co., and by the leading
in practically every city,
town and village in the state.

LISTING AND FOLLOW
ING UP OILERS

LET US take first the case of those,
rich or poor, who should themselves be
doing work, but are not. We urge that
our vagrancy laws be more strictly
enforced in the case of both white and
black. We urge that city authorities
prepare lists of all oilers or transient
workers, and follow up such lists. To
this end we suggest that a police GEN.
sus of each city be made, and that two
classes of workmen be listed, verified
by employers reports: % those who
are fusefully employed and have been
working in their present positions 80
days or longer; (2) those who are not
usefully employed chat is to say the
foundidlers), and then those who have
not been working in their present posi-
tions for 80 days (that is to say the
transient workers.. In the latter class
will be found most of those who work
irregularly. Of course, some indus
trious persons will happen in this lat
ter classification, and some transient
workers in the former classification,
but for general purposes we believe
these divisions as good as we can make
Then in the case of all transient work
ers or those now idle, let the police re-
quire reports every thirty days here
after, imposing suitable punishment in
case such persons fail to obtain and
employment. From re-
port on labor conditions by Clarence
Poe.

THE LATE FALL GARDEN

The following crops are hardy and
will withstand considerable freezing:
kale, rape, collards, seven-top turnips,
onions and spinach.
Prepare the ground thoroughly
Plant in rows IA to 16 inches apart,
this allows cultivation and the conser-
walton of moisture.
After the crop is up apply liquid ma
nure frequently or give liberal side
dressing of manure from the hen
roost.
Don't allow the weeds to ripen their
seeds in your garden. Clean up all
spaces not needed for the fall and win
ter garden and SOW rye. This will pro-
vide a cover crop, make an excellnt
chicken pasture and insure a clean
garden at time when weeds usually
run riot.
Keep the soil we'll stirrd.

yoqHg men who have completed or

FARMERS GET THE COIN

More than $1,000 farmers have abb
tanned loans through the Federal loan
system, and the amount they have re-
eeived amounts to $117,249,000. The
loans average $4,000 each. The Fed
eral Farm Loan Board has done lot
of good, as most of it's loans have been
of class that could not be obtained
through local banks and other chan
nels. Representatives of local power
and lighting companies who have been
"up against the real thing" for money
have not been as successful as the far
mers with the Federal machinery, since
they have been told to "go see your
local bankers" The "local bankers"
have been referring them to the local
courts, who have been prolific in fur
receiverships.
