Bond and SCroggin
Urge Passage Of
Amendment.

In an interview given out this
week. Prof. c. E. Scroggin,
County Superintendent of Ed.
ucation, urges the voters of Ok.
tlbbeha County to direct their
efforts to the passage of the
amendment. intended to equallze
the expenditures Of school funds
IN the various counties at the
election Nov. 4.
Prof. Scroggins. points out
that while Oktibbeha County is
an average county, and will
hardly be effected by the pro-
posed amendment. the hill coun-
ties, will be greatly benefited,
such as Tippah County, which
has to levy an additional five mill
tax IN order to run Its schools,
three months, Neshoba County,
whose schools. run only three
and a half to four months. etc.
simultaneously with the inter-
view from Prof. Scroggins, comes
a letter from W. F. Bond. State
SuDerintendent of Ed,icatlon am.
phaslzing the need for the
amendment and urging the
voters TO put 1t into effect, at the
election.
The statement OF the County
superintendent is as follows:
"At the regular election IN No
vember, the people will have an
opportunity of amending Section
2O5 of the state constitution, so
as to provide for more equitable
distribution of the public school
funds. The legislature is usually
opposed to increasing the state
appropriation for the public
schools, because under the pres
ent system of distribution of the
school money, the public schools
IN some counties. on state mon.
ey alone. are maintained for
seven, eight. and nine months
each year. paying maximum sal
aries. and in others only three,
four, five and SIX months paying
MINIMUM salaries. Under the
present law. of the constitution
the legislature has no authority
to remedy this matter but If a
majority Of the qualified elec-
tors voting at the regular elec.
ton Nov. 4, vote for this amend
ment, it will become part of the
constitution. The legislature
will then have the authority to
remedy the unfalrness that now
exists IN the distribution of the
pnblic school funds. The amend
ment to this Section consists of
the following sentence to be
added to the Section as it now
stands: but the State Legis-
lature shall have authority to
make an additional appropria
tion to be disbursed by the State
Board of Education, in such a
manner as to equalize the public
school term throughout the
state"

1t should be noted that children
of the family who do not have

throats tested. In other words,
children of the family must have
their throats tested and shown
to be negative before being
allowed to return to school. Gt

organized alcoholic forces which will
continue to prey upon the life Of The
nation until there can be a regenerat-
ing influence to work out relief
America stands out peculiar in its
force and influence and this has be-
come more and more marked through
the representatives of the country wEo
came here for the purposes of doing
their share in the burden of the war.
They also have demonstrated the type
of manhood developed under the moral
inspirations in a great nation where
evils can be cast aside.
The people of America must follow
up the demonstration made BY the
sons of America over here. They
must put forth every effort towards
helpful influence. This will involve
not only sympathy, moral support, en-
couragement, but actual assistance in
example, in the contribution of work
ing force and working funds. When
the achievements of moral redemption
of France is at hand, the great service
Of the soldiers of America both in
battle and in living example, will only
have been properly supported by the
people of our home nation if they fully
meet their opportunity and reSpon-
sibility by not failing in the demands
upon them.

MAKING OF
/ FAMOUS
Medicine
How Lydia E. F. mans
Vegetable Com 2ound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successi ul remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the rell-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles. .
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Take Care of the Uniform.

Adjutant- General Henry NJ. War
field, of Maryland, in a recent state
ment makes the following timely re-
remarks:
"The men of the Army, Navy and
Marine corps have upheld the high
standard established by our forefathers
in the earlier wars Of our country and
are returning. The welcome given
them was but slight token Of the af-
fection and admiration in which they
are held by their citizens. They
will soon receive their discharge from
the service, and again take their places
in the ranks as private citizens. Our
government has permitted them TO re-
tain their uniform, and ! want to sug-
gest to them that they take care Of
these uniforms. | have been dis
tressed to see upon several occasions
men who were apparently discharged
soldiers working in their uniforms as
they would overalls. In passing a
garage ! saw a man with his uniform
covered with grease. am confident
that his use Of the uniform is due to
thoughtlessness. The discharged SOL
dier should preserve his uniform and
in the years TO come he will look at it
with pride, and when he dies leave it as
a rich legacy to his heirs, who will re-
gard it as a most precious inheritance;
one which the coming generations of
his family will treasure as having been
worn by an ancestor in the great war
Of l9l7-lS. We all know of families
today who are treasuring the uniform
of some ancestor worn in the Revolu-
tionary War, War Of 1912 or the War Of
1861 to 1865. feel sure that If this
is brought to the attention Of our gall
liant soldiers it will receive their con-
sideration."

An Interesting Reflection.

II cannot be that earth is mans
abiding place; il cannot be that our
life is cast up by the ocean OF eternity,
to float a moment upon its waves and
sink into nothingness; else why is il,
that the high and glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple
of our heart are forever wandering
about unSatiShed why is il that the
rainbow and the cloud come over us
with beauty that is not OF earth and
then pass of and leave us TO muse upon
their faded livelness? Why is il that
the stars, which hold their festival
around the midnight throne" are set
above the grasp of our limited facul-
ties; for ever mocking US with their
unapproachable glory? And, finally,
why is il that bright forms Of human
beauty are presented TO our view and
then taken away from US, leaving the
thousand streams OF our affection TO
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts? We are born for higher
destiny than that of earth; there is n
realm where the rainbow never fades;
where the stars will be spread out be-
fore us, like islands that slumber on
the ocean: and where the beautiful
beings which here pass befor. us like
shadows, will stay in our presence for
ever.-Bulwer

IN MEM0RIAM.

In loving remembrance of my dear
husband and father, Henry L. Bennett,
who died May 10, 1919, at Darke, W.
Va. He was born July IL, 1910, and
served four years in the Civil War. He
was a member OF the Presbyterian
Church. God has called him home to
meet with his little daughter, Hester
Bennett. He left us with many friends
TO mourn. He was a devoted husband
and father, loved by all who knew
him. On the evening OF his death at
5 o'clock he called us TO his bed and
asked us to live for God and meet him
where our earthly cares are over. Dear
father and husband, how we miss you.
But We expect TO meet you again where
the city shines more fair His funer-
al sermon was preached by his pastor,
Rev. !. C. Sler. on Wednesday, May Il,
1919. after which his body was laid to
rest in the Presbyterian cemetery at
Darke. w. Va. near his home.
We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet TO part, no never,
On that resurrection morn.

To thoroughly know the virtues OF

ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now give confirmed testmony-de-
clare the results have lasted. How can
any Shepherdstown sufferer longer

History Shown By Fences.

The progress and condition of our
settlements can be traced in our fences,
writes Alice Morse Earle, in Home
Life in Colonial Days" As Indians
disappeared or succumbed, the solid
row of pales (Stockade) gave place TO
a log fence, which served we'll to keep
out depredatory animals. The dangers
from Indians or wild animals entirely
disappeared, boards were still not over
plenty, and the strength of the owner
could not be overspent on unnecessary
fencing. Then came the double-rail
fence; two rails held in place one
above the other at each joining by
four crossed sticks. 1t was a
boundary and would keep in cattle. 1t
was said that every fence should be
horse-high, bull-proof and pig-tight.
Then came stone walls, showing a
thorough clearing and tanning of the
land. The succeeding "half-high"
stone wall-a foot or two high, with a
single rail on top-showed that stones
were not as plentiful in the fields as
in the early days. The "Snake-fence,"
of "Virginia fence" so common in the
southern States, utilized the second
growth of forest trees. The split-rail
fence, four or five rails in height, was
set at intervals with posts, pierced with
holes to hold the ends of the rails.
These were used TO some extent in the
East; but our western States usually
were fenced throughout with rails split
by sturdy pioneer rail-splitters, among
them young Abraham Lincoln. Board
fences showed the day of the sawmill
and its plentiful supply; the wire
fences of today equally prove the de-
crease of our forests and our wood,
and the growth of our mineral supplies
and manufactures of metals. Thus
even our fences might be called his
torical monuments.

The Apple Trust and the National Ap-
pie Law.

The New York Packer announces
that Charles J. Brand has resigned as
chief of the Bureau of Markets to be-
come general manager of the proposed
apple trust at high salary; that W. M.
Scott, the assistant chief of the Bureau
of Markets, has resigned to be connect
ed with the syndicate, as has also H.
c. Hetzel, who has been supervisor Of
the inspection department Of the
Bureau of Markets, and who will now
perform a similar function for the syn
dicate.
The Bureau of Markets has been ac-
lively promoting the proposed apple
and grading law, which it was expect
ed would have been enacted by Con-
gress some months ago.
Mr.. Brand took the time and trouble
to write personal letters to fruit grow
ers here, urging that their opposition
to the law pending in Congress be
withdrawn.
In the event that the law had been
enacted last winter, as expected, Mr..
Brand, as chief of the Bureau of Mar
kets, would have established the
grades. AS ex-chief his influence with
his successor will be very great.
Mr.. Brand now appears as heading
a syndicate which has been in the for
nation for many months and whose
avowed purpose it is to monopolize
the apple business regardless of the
interests of the independent growers.
What better agency to discourage the
smaller grower than a drastic grading
law as to color and size, imposing on
every grower the cost of expensive
grading machinery?
The Star has already called atten-
tion to several prominent fruit growers
who have sold or are about to sell to
the syndicate and who have heretofore
been very conspicuous in. advocating
the grading and packing law.
The interests Of the independent
grower and the apple trust are not
mutual and cannot be reconciled.
The apple trust is organized and
managed by the most efficient brains
that money can buy. 1t boldly and
publicly announces its purpose of mo-
nopolzing production, as well as the
distribution of apples.
Already carefully veiled plans are on
foot to control apple storages and ex-
port steamship space.
Its operations are now carefully con-
cealed, as the leaders appreciate that
publicity will hamper their plans

193. 900 Members of 4. E F. To Stay.

One hundred and ninety-three thouS-
and members of the A. E. F. will not
be returned to the United States. They
will remain in France 10 work in the
process of reconstruction. They will
be used in the shell-torn fields and in
the wrecked villages. Many OF them
will find their way TO the larger cities
Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux They will
have just as much share in aiding
France after the war as they did when
the battle was raging. Many of them
have been wounded.
These hopeless members of the A. E.
F. were among the first TO come TO
France, and they did their bit at the
front as we'll as in the S. o. S. But
they have no choice in the matter. They
must remain in France. The govern
ment has decided that they cannot be
taken back TO the United States.
Not one of the 10000 has made a
protest against the War Departments
order. There have been a few kicks,
most of them from the 10000 mules.
The rest of the 10000 are horses.
The Remount Service is now busy
in all parts of France disposing of the
army'S horse flesh. Already l0,500
horses and mules have been sold,
some to the French government for
cavalry uses, some TO the population
at auction, and others to butchers. A
few of the horses have been sold in
Germany for horse meat and have
brought a good price, some as high as
200 marks. Last week a team was
sold in Germany for butchery purposes
that brought 5000 marks. This is the
record price according TO information
received at c. H. Q. In France the
horses sold to the butchers bring from
$50 francs to 500 francs each.
The government is having a hard
time selling the mules. Although they
are far superior in many respects TO
the horses the French people do not
like mules and hesitate to buy them.
The mules bring about Sis apiece in
France. They are worth twice as much
in the United States.
The A. E. F. receipted for $4,000
horses and mules, but many of that
number were killed in battle or died OF
disease. The average price paid for
the animals was $500, making the ap-
proximate cost to the government $751;
10000 In selling the animals in
France, it is estimated that they will
bring about SIPS each. This will mean
a loss of approximately S62,995,0O0.
One of the principal reasons why
the animals cannot be taken back to
the United States is the quarantine,
which makes it necessary for horses
to be quarantinedthree months on this
side before shipment and three months
in the United States. These regula-
lions make it quite impossible for the
army to take home any public animals.
An exception has been made so that |
private mounts Of officers, not to ex-
ceed 200 for the entire A. Z. F., may be
shipped home, provided all regulations
are complied with.
The mounts must be moved TO the |
port of embarkation in strict isolation
from all other animals, and many
other regulations must be complied
with before the horses can be returned |
1t is estimated that probably less than
200 mounts will be shipped back to
the United States because Of the |
difficulty.

Senders of parcel post packages are
requested TO place a card bearing their
name and address and also the name
and address 20 whom the parcel is sent
inside OF the package. This is a new
rule and must be adhered to. In a
number Of cases the articles are i'm
properly wrapped and often the ad-
dress becomes lost in the delivery. In
case such happens, the address can
readily be found on the inside and will
thus avoid much trouble.
