THE LITTLE OLD RED SCHOOL

HOUSE.
The little old red schoolhouse is the
cradle of our Dreams,
The little old red schoo1house that
we see from every train,
Standing bravely by the roadways, by
the hills and by the streams
Is the birthplace of the splendors
and the joys we shall attain.
| There the voice of freedom whispers
mighty secrets to our youth,
There the seeds of faith are planted
in the brave and sturdy hearts,
There tomorrow's men and women, by
the shining light of truth
Learn the majesty of service and the
joy which it imparts.
The little old red schoolhouse, with
the teacher at the door,
Is the bulwark Of our glory and the
guardian of our pride;
From the feet of grim invaders it
shall long protect our shore,
And no vicious reign of terror in it's
presence can abide.
There all tyrants meet their downfall,
there the force of might is stayed,
There the hand of hate is withered,
and the blows Of evil vain.
In the little old red schoolhouse free
domS children, unafraid
Learn the paths which lead to glory
and the goals they shall attain

OFFICERS REQUEST
PUBLIC TO COOPERATE

Owing to the prevalence OF the
influenza epidemic which Is causing
the death of great number OF our
citizens, and realizing the necessity,
as public officials to do everything
possible in order to prevent such re-
suits, we feel it our duty to ask the
people Of Josephine county to refrain
from any public gatherings and most
especially public dances, where, as
we are informed, great number of
the influenza cases have been con-
tracted.
Under our statutes 1t is a criminal
offense to commit any act that Is
injurious to public health and we
consider that a violation Of the
above request will constitute a vio-
lation of the law.
Hoping that every citizen will do
his utmost to help eradicate the in
fluenza plague.
Yours very truly,
