GEORGIA FARMER
 NOW GIVES FACTS
SAYS HE WAS RELIEVED OF SEE WERE ATTACK OF RHEUMA- TISM AFTER TAKING TANLAc WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED.

T am the happiest man in Spald ing county" declared J. T. Waldrup a prominent farmer living near Grif fin, Ga, flor Tanlac has made well man of me and I can now make as good crop as any man.
 For four years l suffered torture with what some said was inflamma- tory rheumatism. Whatever it was the pain was such as to drive me almost desperate. I would get sick at the stomach and have high fever and headaches and vomit up every thing had eaten. I would have heartburn that was like a raging fire in my stomach.
 T tried everything I could think of but nothing seemed to do me any good until 1 began taking Tanlac It wasn't long after that till began to enjoy my meals and have a heartier appetite. My rheumatism began to disappear and in a few weeks I didn't have any ache or pain in my body and found I had actually gained fifteen pounds in weight. Tanlac has been such a Godsend to me I'll never get done praising it"

 Dear Sir:
 May l use the columns of your splendid paper to call the attention of the teachers of Lee county to a matter to which I hope they will give full consideration. l would like to know how many of the teachers of this county favor the organization of a live and wide-awake County Teach CTS Association, to meet at different places in the county monthly or bi- monthly.
 This is a most important time in the educational development of our state and county. The constitutional convention is to convene again dur ing the year to frame new consti- tptfon. The committee on education has under consideration some very important measures for the better ment of our schools We as teachers should be fully informed as to the merits of those proposed changes, and if they are right these men should have our full support, and if they are not for the best interest of the schools, we should use our every effort to see that they are not draft ed into the constitution.
 Furthermore. it is a time when our state and nation are making greater demands on the schools and on the &n~rhowu than ovor hofarQ in the history of our country. We are be- ing asked to take the lead in many Kinds of work. The individual teach or probably has very limited oppor- funities to become informed about these different activities to which we are asked to give our support.

may rate not only buglers but brass bands as we'll
 Beside his trumpeting bugler has no regular tasks. There is always one on duty ready to jump at the watch officers word to call away a boat or to arouse the crew in an emergency. In off hours he helps scrub and shine his own part of the ship.
 There are 11S standard bugle calls in naval use. Most of these also be- long to the army. many for different purposes entirely. Stable call, for in- stance, is blown aboard ship to sum- mons the saluting guns crew to bat tery.
 Calls are divided into four differ ent classes. depending on the reason for and the manner in which they are sounded. Routine boat calls, in fantry movement signals and school call are sounded by the single bugler on watch and refer to only a few men.
 General service calls. such as tattoo, taps, morning and evening colors and salutes are played by all buglers in unison, and are frequently accompanied by the band. At col ors, for instance, the Star Spangled Banner" follows immediately after the opening bars of the call Fire and collision, torpedo defense, man overheard and battle stations are emergency calls which by the very nature of their stirring notes thread the uttermost passageways ears. Immediately the accident or crisis arises bridge bugler starts the alarm. which is taken up by the other buglers throughout the ship. Drills and warning also pass from one com partment to another by relay bugles.
 The fourth class of calls merges into band music. Though a bugle has but five notes, 13 marches are available. Of these, nine are com mon drill quicksteps, one of which was written by Sousa. The president and the commander-in-chief each has HIS OWn wv OhC 0AcS HI ehC service may hope to receive special bugle music unless he has the bad luck to die or get "kickout. In the former case the bugle funeral march adds something to the occa- sion. In the latter case "Rogue's March" subtracts something-it helps drown out the jeers and farewell remarks.
 Boat calls are 13 in number, in- cluding Away all boats" and Man the boat falls.'' Falls" by the way is a paradoxical name of the boat hoisting tackle. by virtue of which a boat cannot fall. The "Hook-her- on'' jingle at the end of boat call bring her alongside and prepare to hoist her in.
 Bugle tunes are distinguishable not only by their actual airs. but by their predominance of their high or low notes In marching all movements

every school and every teacher Tn the county by bringing the schools and teachers into closer relation ship with each other. It is possible through a county accosiation to build mn some school activities that will give new life to the school work Of the county.
 Every county in Arkansas should have a common school promotion day where all the pupils in the county finishing the county are awarded their certificates of promotion to the high school The completion or the common school course marks distinct epoch in the life of a pupil and should be given due recognition in our school system. We need county athletic and literary assocla- tion in this county. and should hold a county meet every year, and every school in the county should be en- couraged to take part in the contests. These are some of the things that might be accomplished through county teachers meeting. There are many other ways in which the schools and through them the entire county can be benefited by such an organization. I would be glad to hear from some of the teachers oi the county about this matter. either through the paper, or by personal letter.
 You're sincerely.

A eATTLEsHiP's euGLER

A bugler is to a battleship what the train announcer is to a railroad station. writes Lieut.. Fitzhugh Green, U.S.N., in Milwaukee Sentinel.
 His noise reminds you when to move on, where and how. If it's not your turn to go this noise may be bearable. even beautiful. But if it's harsh, metallic notes are a signal that weary legs must again take up their beef-fed burden your biased ears whisper. ''who let the bars down, anyhow?"
 The big ships have from three to six buglers each. Destroyers, tugs and subs so far have none. But they are getting longer and deeper every year, these sea-sneekers, and soon

SCHOOL NOTES
(By a Student)

One of the most generous of the library this year is a complete set of Cooper's works, in thirty volumes. given this week by Mrs. M Karicofe. We cannot express our appreciation for it--especially the English classes who have been studying Cooper late ly and have been at loss to find
 some of his books that they wanted. Lieut.. Hughes from Camp Pike, who spoke here on Monday made a visit to the school early in the after noon and spoke to the students.
 Although several army men have spoken to us. we are always anxious
 to hear more of army life and how our Sammies are fareing. Lieut.. Hughes brought the war closer to us than it has ever been brought before. a%%<

the South encourages me greatly. And
it encourages me to hope that the solu-
tion of other perplexing problems may
also he found. In fact, we all know,
that if we can solve the Race Problem,
witch >cms to be the most dieficnt,
battling, and perplexing puzzle that hu'
man mind has ever confronted, why
.;,en there is not any human problem
that we cannot attempt with light
,;tart!
"Mr. Toastmaster, I want to repeat
Miss Minors invitation to the Chicago
delegation, that before they return to
the frozen North-I have just come from
there, and I know how frozen it is-that
they will let us show them what we have
in Terrebonne that is of interest. We
really have the two largest gas-wells in
the world, and other interesting features
of the landscape.
"And 1 shall take the liberty Of say
ing that you can count Houma and Ter
| rebonne in on any plan for the ad-
vancement of the interests of this Sec
ton of the country. I think l know
how Terrebonne people feel, and I be-
lieve I am safe in pledging the city and

tions can make them. The world must
be made safe for Democracy.
"We are taking counsel together to-
night, how best We of South Louisiana
can come to the help Of the nation in
making this world safe for Democracy.
"There is another matter, of vital in
terest to this section Of the country, and
indeed, to the whole of America, that l
wish to say few words about. The
great problem of the South is, as it has
always been, the Race Question, the
problem of the relations between the
White and the Black Races. Up until
now, there has seemed to be some con-
flict between American principles and
Southern principles, in the matter OF
dealing with the Negro. America stands
for Democracy, for human rights, for
liberty and equality for all men. The
South stands for the Color Line, for the
great principle of Racial Integrity. 1t
was in order to preserve the integrity OF
White Civilization that the South made
war sixty years ago, it was in defense
of that White Civilization that the
South rallied again during the period
of the Reconstruction, and if necessary,
the South would 90 to war again tomor-
row, and fight to the last drop Of blood
for it.
"This question is becoming rapidly
more and more pressing, more and more
important. The United States has gone
to war to make the world safe for Dem
ocracv. There must therefore he no in
consistency in her own Democracy. How
shall we apply American principles OF
Democracy to the Negro Problem with
out breaking down our own Southern
principle of Racial Integrity, the Colo1
Line, which we are pledged to uphold!
| 81 am glad to be able to say, that

picking question working itself out. Fo

of nv time in travelling throughout tn
South, on behalf of Christian Educa

tlement of this question working itsel
out. In one place one detail will b
found, and in another place another dc
tail. most of them arrived at rather il
dependently, but most of them all ten'
ing in the same direction. There is nc
time here to say anything further abot
the details of this solution-I hope tina

BE Of Energetic Action
So Similar Results To
The Body Polite Come
From Bad Roa ds

The subject of the talk given by the
Rev. Gardiner L. Tucker, of Houma, at
the Inter-community meeting in Morgan
City, February 10Th, was "Team
Work.. Among several fine messages
included in this talk was the application
to community work Of the principle in
athletics "team work and fairplay.'
The address of Rev. G. L. Tucker is
reproduced below for the benefit OF
our readers who were unable to hear
his inspiring words:
~ want to express my appreciation
of this privilege, Mr.. Toastmaster, that
help to represent tonight the neigh
boring city of Houma and the neigh
boring Parish of Terrebonne in this
neighborly gathering. We bring you
friendly greetings, and our hearty con-
gratulations on the great progress OF
your community, and the fine things
that you are doing here. l am glad to
be here for another reason also, and
that is, that 1 have met tonight one Of
the heroes of my boyhood days. About
twenty-five years ago, when I was a
college student, one Of the bright stars
in the athletic firnament was Alonzo
stagg Of Chicago, then renowned as an
athletic coach. Like other college stu
dents, I played football, and baseball
and other games, and SO OF course, as
every other college athlete in the coun
try, knew Of Stagg. In those days he
stood for two great athletic principles
the first Team Work, and the second
a principle even higher and more i'm
portant, Fair Play. And tonight, JUS
before this meeting, it was my privilege
to meet personally and to shake tn
hand of the great Stagg.
81 take it, that the great object o
this meeting is to secure Team Work Il
this part of Louisiana, especially IN tn
development of our roadways and on
waterways, which are the great arterie

A Familiar Sign

The w. S. S. sign, although put be-
fore the public only three months ago Is
as well known as the American Eagle.
The project has so thoroughly interested
everywhere, and the w. S. S. sig Is are
shown from the windows of the numblc.t
shops % the largest manufacturers. The
symbol is fairly emblazened upon Amer
lea! Thrift and Economy have entered
into the lives of all Americans, many OF
whom heretofore, were boastfully extrav-
agant. The effects of the change in the
habits of the people will cause America
to emerge from this war stronger IN
rights, power, and patriotism. The sales
of the stamps are running at the rate OF
eleven million dollars a week, where this
appears to be an enormous figure, it is
not nearly enough. FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS a week MUST be the aver
age sales of Thrift Stamps from now un-
til the end Of this year, if the issue 81
two billion dollars of these stamps, is
to he reached. The plan is distinctly FOR
the masses, thousands who could not al
ford the larger bond issues can readily
invest in the stamps and feel that they
too, are taking self-respecting part in
the Government s affairs by aiding in
financing the war and at the same time
providing against want when times shall
be harder than they are at present.
There are many who have not yet in
vested To these we appeal to invest
without delay in Thrift Stamps.
Strengthen the lines behind the boys
on the front lines. Hip our imprisone6
boys out of those terrible German pris-
ons, The American Red Cross discovered
six of our boys imprisoned since Noven,-
Der 3rd in West Prussia. No one knows
what they are enduring. How can we
help these boys out of the prison campf
The answer is BUY WAR SAVING
STAMPS. If every person in the land
bought one each week, the Government
would get some of the many millions
needed to keep this war going and put
us on the winning side. Every stamp you
buy helps to beat the Hun. Buy this
weeks stamp TO-DAY.-S. P. Vettez,
Press Rep, for St. Mary Parish.
