Do You Enjoy Life

A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the bilious and dyspeptic are des-
pondent, do not enjoy their meals
and feel miserable good share of
the time. This i'll feeling is nearly
always unnecessary. A few doses
of Chamberlain Tablets to tone up
the stomach improve the digestion
and regulate the bowels is all that
is needed. Try it.

School Notes.

A new editor has been secured for
this weeks issue of the School Notes.
Can you make a good guess as to who
it is? In order to satisfy your Curl
osity we will say that the Seniors are
primarily responsible.
1t has been decided to keep night
school az it seems to be quite difficult
for some of the pupils to arrive in
the morning.
The Senior class have a new mem
Der added to their number, namely,
Edith Dawson from Canistota, S.
Oak. She is a sister of Miss Dawson
who is teaching in the second grade
Of our school.
We had quite a surprise the other
day when n of the Freshman girls
rolled in to the assembly room.
Some Of the pupils think it would
be a very good idea to bring fly swat
tiers to school as it would save some
students the trouble of catching the
flies and then operating on them with
out the use of chloroform.
Miss Nest Pattee. a former teacher
in our schools, visited at school a few
minutes last Friday.
1t is easy to see that the school
youngsters are interested in athletics
as both the boys and girls are a]readv
getting popped up
We hal several new students enroll
in H. S. last Monday morning. There
were also quite a few new ones in
the grades. We now have a total
enrolment of 316. Some bunch is
MT it?
The high school took part in the
program Tuesday night given by the
Red Cross for the returned soldiers.
One Of our teachers had a leading
part in it too.
The boys have been taking advan-
tage of the noon hour for practicing
foot ball. At least they are working
hard. It's hard telling what the re.
suit will be.
The European History class are
again doing recitation work. Their
regular texts are not all here yet.
Eng. " exc taking some Public
Speaking WORK at present. It is real
amusing to hear them say the prac-
tice expressions but when 1t comes to
g~esturing they are there and over.
The teachers on the second floor
have formed an UNION. Any one de-
string further particulars might in
quire of some special pet pupils
who could give you the facts.
The school attendance is very near
" perfect. One day lately there were
only 10 tardy in one morning, and
out of that group there was a young
girl who has been tardy 8 times this
year already. Some one will likely
have to take her breakfast to her be-
fore long.
The teachers wondered Why there
was such q small attendance on the
24th Of last month. They forgot that
there were. celebrations at Tyndall
and Mitchell 10 which the pupils had
to 90.
Some Of the pupils take going to
school like they do medicina--that ID
every other day OF so.

THE SOLDIERS LAND BILL.

Announcement is made that within a !!
few weeks Congressman Mondcll Re
publican house leader, viii introduce a
bill appropriating $j0O,0O0,o00 for the
provision of soldiers land settlements |
in this country AS is known, this |
measure is fathered by Secretary Lane
of the department of the interior who
wants to reclaim waste and cut over
lands in each state, the reclamation
work 70 be done by former soldiers at
from four to FIVE dollars n day and the
land sold to these soldiers for farms.
Secretary Lane plans through his de-
rartment to have the government loan
the purchasers of land $2,500~each, di-
vided as follows:-for buildings 81
200, for machinery $500 and for horses
or tractors $500. SO persistent has the
secretary advocated this scheme, it is
now said he has the support of Messrs
Mondell and Champ Clark in the house
and Sen. Smoot in the senate.
Still the scheme seems neither sound
or necessary. There is not SO great a
shortage of good land in this country as
there is of good farmers. Good land is
a much more promising field of labor
than waste tracts which will require a
great amount of labor to be trans
formed into an undetermined degree of
productivity. The proftableness of cul-
| tivating waste lands is not assured and
cannot be determined except at great
! cost. There is so much chance in the
proposition it cannot be called q safe
undertaking from a financial stand
point There is no certainty of a de.
mand by former soldiers for such land
Every returned soldier who desires
to become farmer can be supplied
with land already developed and OF
known productive value. If Secretary
Lane would supply every returned sol
der in Vermont who desires to become
a farmer with $500 every one of then
could secure farm with buildings
stock and machinery within week and
each farm located within reasonable dis
tance from neghbors, schools, church
cs and markets. This being the fact
it is hard to see the necessity of spend
ing hundreds of millions of government
money retaining lands that have beer
abandoned by the practical farmers o.
the country.

At the Library
Books Needed for Soldiers.

Even if the return of all American
troops now in France is accomplished by
fall in accordance with recent reports,
it is stated by the American Library as
sociation that half a million more books
must be added to the library service for
the army, navy and marine corps
The additional books will be needed
chiefly for returning troop transports,
which cannot be supplied from the stock
OF books which has been sent overseas
Due to the heavy use they are receiv-
ing, books now in France are deteriorat-
ing very rapidly When the fighting
stopped the use of books increased enor-
mously and has continued to grow in vol
ume The men have little to do to oc-
cupy a great amount of leisure time.
Reading is one OF the most substantial
and profitable forms of diversion for the
men in the presens Situation in France
and the use OF books and magazines is
being encouraged by officers everywhere
as means Of offering competition to the
wine shops and counteracting the tenden
cy to gambling
Wholesome, exciting fiction is the sort
which the men read most readily unde,
the conditions now existing overseas. Coco
books of this kind are passed from mar
to man and soon go to pieces through
sheer handling 1t is necessary for th,
| overseas organization of the a. l.. A. L

Every transport is fitted out with a i
brary in the American port where

has been so great that these libraries ar

at the end of each trip as frequentl

For the transport service wholesom,
