COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Supt. ]. W. Reaves of the Leadwood
schools has reported the following in
teresting news items under the cap
ton, Leadwood School Notes:
"A short time ago Miss Alice Gay,
music and drawing supervisor, re-
ceived a letter from the State Fair
Association, stating that the drawing
exhibit, from the lockwood schools,
had won a second and a third prize.
The ribbons won and the money prize
of $500 were enclosed. The letter
praised the quality of the work very
highly and urged the school to send in
general educational display this
year. This will be done.
"School attendance is very good,
considering the fact that the mines
here are shut down. The enrolment
last September was GIG against ago
this September. The high school en-
rollment is slightly larger this year
than last. This fact deserves special
mention.
"The two basket ball teams have
been very successful in their games so
far. The girls have lost but one game
and the boys but two. Both teams are
in fine shape and play good game.
The teams have the loyal support of
the townspeople and student body.
The games have stirred up a great
deal of enthusiasm and school spirit
and have awakened the desire to be-
come leaders.
"The teachers are planning to inaug
urate the Modern Health Campaign as
outlined by the Missouri Association
for the Relief and Control of Tubercu-
losis. The campaign will probably
start the first week in January. This
campaign proved to be very valuable
in teaching good health lessons, as
testified to by teachers who used the
plan last year.
"The majority Of the lady teachers
have signed up for the course in Home
Nursing given under the auspices of
the Red Cross. A large number of the
high school girls have signed up also.
The lessons will be given in high
school. A room will be fitted up for
the purpose. Many of the ladies in
town are availing themselves of the
Opportunity.
"The Tuesday morning programs
conducted by the different high school
classes are proving very popular. Be-
ginning with the Seniors, each class
takes it's turn at conducting the open
ing exercises ON Tuesday mornings.

ADVERTISING DID 1T

Turn the page back a year or so,
and it's safe bet that not ten men in
the city could pronounce the word
"bonsheviki" or "comouf1age", or
"barrage", let alone tell their mean
ing. Today they are in most every
schoolboy's vocabulary.
Such is the power of advertising.
Whether it be the name of a man, or
the name of breakfast food, adver-
tising in one or more of its many
forms make it household word.
Every time you advertise you are
building your name into the minds of
your customers just that much frmer.
You are making it just that much
more difficult for your competitor,
whether he is across the street from
you or in the next town, to edge his
way into the minds of your folk. Ad-
vertising won't get you all the bus
mess there is in your community, but
it will get you a mighty big share of
it.-Selling Helps.

PUNK ROSES AND PINK NOSES

A certain editor and publisher of a
country newspaper in Kansas was
asked to leave the community as a
result of typographical error in his
report of the wedding of the mayors
daughter, says western exchange.
After exhausting his supply of big
words about the "blushing bride" he
said: "The large, elaborate bouquets
of roses were punk"
The mayor demanded correction
and apology in the next weeks issue,
all of which the editor was glad to
promise.
The next issue contained: eve wish
to apologize for the manner in which
we disgraced the beautiful wedding
last week. Through error of the type
setter we were made to say, the roses
were punk What we wanted to say
was that the noses were pink >

monthly. Many of these are special.
Parents and visitors always welcome.
"The Senior class was 100 per cent
in attendance during October and did
not have a tardy. The Junior class
had one tardy and SO per cent attend
ance.
"The B. Y. P. U. and Epworth
League entertained the two basket
ball teams at high school building Sat-
urday night, Oct. 25th. 1t was de-
lightful affair. The time was spent
taking part in track meet. The
standing Broad Grin was the event
that caused the closest competition.

Only a Cold

Are you ill? is often answered.
"Oh! It's only cold',, as if a cold was
a matter of little consequence. But
people are beginning to learn that
common cold is a matter not to be
trifed with, that some of the most Sc
rious diseases start with cold. AS
soon as the first indication of a cold
appears take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Remember that the sooner
you get rid of your cold the less the
danger, and this remedy will help you
to throw it off. Obtainable every

Arithmetic, as 1t Is being taught
this year in the lower grade schools
Of st. Louis, is not like that which
the older brothers and sisters of the
pupils of today studied, says the Post
Dispatch. The habit of thrift is being
encouraged along lines suggested by
the Savings Division of the United
States Treasury Department.
No longer is the child in the first
or second grade asked to solve the
problem Of how many marbles A has

More Savings Societies.

The pupils of the fourth grade have
War Savings Societies and their arith-
metic lessons are based on weekly re-
ports of their treasurers. Here are
some Of the examples:
"The treasurer reported that 5
pupils had 2 War Savings Stamps
each, IA pupils had l War Savings
Stamp, and that different pupils in the
room owned 2S Thrift Stamps. How
much money had the pupils spent alto
gether for Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, If the War Savings Stamps
cost $414 each?"
Jack has the best record. By SELL
ing papers he had saved enough money
to buy two War Savings Stamps and
IL Thrift Stamps. How much money
had he loaned to the government If
he paid S414 each for the War Savings
Stamps?'
Fifth grade War Savings Societies
keep track of the total savings of
their members through the medium Of
two thermometers sketched upon the
blackboard One represents the ga
grade and the other the 5B grade.
Each dollar saved by the members is
shown by raising an indicator one de-
gree on its thermometer.
Problems for the fifth grade pupils
are along the following lines:

fifth as many. How many Thrift
Stamps has WIZ"
Everyone of 6S4 children in this
school bought a Thrift Stamp last
Monday. How much money have they
lent the government"

of money a boy and his mother can
save in a year toward the boys col
lege education or some other worthy
purpose the following example is Civ
en- to the pupils of the sixth grade:
Georges mother saved an average
of $1.25 month by going to market
instead of telephoning, George and
his mother saved an average Of $3.50
a month over expenses by raising fresh
vegetables for summer and by canning
the remainder for winter, they both
saved an average of 80 cents month

may be, and sometimes starves to

The conclusions drawn are that the
squirrel is very much wiser than the
rabbit because he saves food for the

things for times when they will need

SUDDEN DEATH
OF CHILDREN

A peculiar malady has made it's
appearance in the twelfth district,
causing several deaths among the
smaller children of the Mount
Carmel community.
About the middle of January,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Y. L. March,
banks were in Camden shopping,
their 8-year-old son was suddenly
taken i'll and died before his par
ents returned home. The boy first
complained that his leg hurt him.
He was taken in and given treat
ment, and was soon at play again.
A little later he complained of Vi
olent pains in his head and in his
stomach and was soon dead.
On February 8 the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace john
son, who reside in that community.
was taken in the same manner and
died in short time. Then on
February l3 the baby of Mr. and
Mrs. Marchbanks was taken like
the other children and died in q
few hours.
All the children had violent
pains in the head and stomach.
The physicians. who have been
with the children are puzzled, it
seems. Some ssem, to think it is
caused from malaria. Others are
of the opinion that it may be due
to the use of spring water from tin
containers.

BELOVED WOMAN
GONE TO REWARD

Death claimed another shining
mark in the galaxy of the beloved
women of Camden when Mrs
Mary A. Yarbrough died at the
home of relatives in Nashville
Wednesday February IL. The
remains were brought to Camden
Thursday and the funeral services
were held at the G. p. Church in
the afternoon, conducted by Rev.
j. l.. Hudgins of Nashville. The
lnterment was at Camden Gene
terry. Mrs. Yarbrough was 81 years
old, and is survived by three sons,
Us Yarbrough of Huntsville, Ala,
and j. e. and G. A. Yarbrough of
Nashville. She identified herself
with the G. P. Church at an early
age and lived faithful and earn
est Christian life.
None ever entered her home
without a. hearty welcome nor left
it without feeling the warmth of a
genuine hospitality. Disease did
not destroy the charm of kind,
indulgent disposition nor old age
diminish her unselfish solicitude
for friends and loved ones.
AS the shadow of death settled
on her paid brow around her bed
side were assembled her "boys'' :
always boys to her, though now
grown to mature years with boys
and girls around their own freside.
With fearful eyes they watched
the life so interviewer with theirs
slowly but surely pass away.
Business cares and their own
home circles had encroached upon
their time, may have robbed moth
er of their companionship, but she
was always just the same, rejoicing
with them in their successes and
comforting them in their disap-
pointments. In the years to come
may the memory of her unselfish
devotion and thoughtful consider
alton of their welfare make each of
them better men and may her pre-
cepts always be their guiding star.
Vain is the attempt to measure
the love of mother. After all the
poets have sung and lovers dream

love. May we not suggest that the

One of the strongest points of
walking as an exercise is that it
keeps the body in spendid eondi-
tion to meet any unusual stress or
strain which it may be called upon
to withstand. Then, too, walking
seems to effect general tuning
up of the entire system, which
enables the athlete or gymnast to
perform his favorite feats OF
strength, even when circumstances
are such as to make it impossible
for him to keep in constant prac-
tice.

SENATOR SHIELDS
HAS RECOVERED

Knoxville, Tenn, February l5
After several mouths of much
,.eel,d rest at his Clinchdale home
Senator John X. Shields, fully re-
covered from his recent slight i'll
1ess, spent Thursday night and
Friday in Knoxville aud left Sat-
,rday afternoon for Washington
in order to be in his seat when the
iSenate convenes Monday morning.
While only two weeks of the
present Congress now remain,
Senator Shields is hopeful that
rhe bill creating new Federal
tlourt division in Middle Tennes-
tee, already passed by the Senate,
laay be pushed through the house
before adjournment.
Urgent necessity for the early
passage of this measure is seen at
this time because of the fact that
the docket in Judge Edward T,
Sanford's division is exceedingly
heavy-so heavy, in fact, that it
has again, as often in the past,
become necessary to have Judge
Clarence Sessions of Grand Rapids
hold the present term of court at
Chattanooga in order that Judge
Sanford might at the same time
dispose of the dockets at Knoxville
and Nashville.
Creation of the new division
would permit Judge Sanford to
hold the Knoxville. Chattanooga
aud Greeneville courts, while the
new judge woald preside at Nash
vile and Cookerville. The only
additional expense would be the
salary of the district Judge, ST 800
year, since the same marshals
mud clerks would serve as at pres
cut.
"WhiIe I have been out of di-
rect touch with matters in Wash
ington for some tine," said Sena-
tor Shields, II am hopeful that
the bill creating the new Judge
ship will be passed by the House
within the n ext two weeks and
the present situation believed in
Tennessee.
"The measure was passed by the
Senate last fall and now is pending
in the House. The necessity of
the new division is apparent and
I hope the bill will be speedily
passed"
Appointment Of a Federal Judge
f)r Middle Tennessee would be
made by President Wilson.
Among those who have been men,
toned for the post are Judge d. l..

CALONEL ROBBED OF NAUSEA AND
 SALVATION
Medicinal Virtues Retained and Im-
 prOved-Unpleasant and Danger
 ous Qualities Removed-New Vari- ety, Called Calotabs, Is Great Fav- Orite With Physicians and Druggists.

The latest triumph of modern phar- macy is the new nausealess calomel known to the drug trade as "Calo- tabs" Calomel, the most generally useful of all medicines thus enters up- on wider field of popularity-puri- fled and refined from those objection able qualities which have heretofore limited it's use.
 In biliousness, constipation, head ache, and indigestion, and in great variety of liver, stomach and kidney troubles calomel was the only success ful remedy but it's use was often ne- glected on account of it's sickening qualities. Now it is the easiest and most pleasant of all medicines to take. One Calotab on the tongue at bedtime, with swallow of water, that's all. No salts, 10 gripping, no nausea. no dan- ger of salvation. A good nights sleep and the next morning you are feeling fine, with a clean liver and q big appetite. Eat what you please.
 Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Your druggist offers to refund the price as a guarantee that you will be thoroughly delighted with Calo. tabs.--Adv. 5s
