We have all the necessary slection
supplies, report blanks, ETC., ready
to send out to school clerks except
the Census Blanks. We have also
sent each clerk a letter Of instruc-
tions as to when these blanks must
be mailed and who to mail them to.
Each blank also has printed instruc-
tions upon it. There is no necessity
to all to get these reports in. If you
will do this work at the time it is to
be done it will save yourself both
time and Inconvenience and the coun-
ty the expense Of my going out to
get them. Let us all cooperate in
this matter. From your reports /
make my annual report and If one
clerks or teachers or treasurer's re-
port is out my report cannot be ready
in time. am at all times ready to
assist You fixing up your books. Do
not fail to call upon me if you have
trouble.
We also sent out the treasurers' re-
port blanks this week. No letter Of
instructions is necessary for this
blank. Make three copies and fill,
out the blank for publication and do
not fail 70 state what paper you
wish i printed in.
The law now provides that the
county commissioners shall employ q
county nurse or registered physician
to inspect the school children Of the
county when petitioned to do SO by
majroity of the school directors of
the county. Such petitions are now
in the hands of each school clerk.
This is matter for the various di-
rectors to decide for themselves. We
do not intend to influence single di-
rector to sign this petition but we
consider this matter just as import
ant as many other things that have
been taken up. We spend thousands
of dollars for pedigreed chickens,
cattle and horses and frown upon a
few hundred dollars necessary to
keep our children healthy and make
them useful men and women. Think
this over and use your own judgment.
Most people can afford to have doc
tor examine their children but there
are hundreds who neglect to do so.
In these cases we need someone who
will come into every 'schoolroom and
find the physical defects. Who can
do so better than the county nurse?
The cost to this county need not ex-
ceed $1,000 year--about thirty
cents on every quarter section.
i All school boards who will send us
signed contracts and request us to
get them teachers for next fall will
confer us favor as we intend to go
out in search Of teachers for the
coming term. Now is the time to
get them as they are going to be
scarce next fall.

Nobody questions the fact that our

into other poorly adapted buildings
and into q dark, damp, unhealthy
basement, but the classrooms in the
building itssH are outrageously over

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive q sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

"That's right" said Mr.. Mountain
Lion, '"but water doesn't come in

ers and oceans"
"Well," said Mrs. Mountain Lion, 81

SURE THAT CUPID Is BLIND
Little Incident Witnessed by Washing
ton Newspaper Man Has Con-
vinced Him of Fact.

Concerning that dear millennium ::
Over at the museum there are bronze
pins with knobs to them.
The label that goes with the exhibit
explains that bronze belongs to the
prehistoric age. a young man read
about it to his obvious bride, and then
added, with the humor of scientific
revelation:
"Now 1 know why you dear things
insist upon long hat pins. 1t isn't ii
fashion that will change, but tribal in
stinct that makes you cling to it as the
weapon used by your oldest grand
mother"
The obvious bride bridled:
well, must say it isn't very nice
Of you to mention grandma's age like
that, when you know how perfectly
dear she has always been to you-and,
besides, it isn't so. Grandma never
used hat pin in her life. All asr
Donnets tie under the chin"
The young man chuckled and pinch
ed her ear as they browsed over to
the next case. So it must have been
all right. But think Of having to live
with mental troglodyte like that Of
ter the gilt wears off her youth and
good looksl
And to have to keep on living with
her for years-and years-and years

PROVIDES FOR BIRD FRIENDS

DR.. B. Harry Warren, for years

bird lovers in this part of the state, is
having erected upon his lawn an imf-

designed as a refuge for his bird
friends, reports a West Chester cor
respondent of the New York World.
The ''tree" is about fifteen feet in
height and the concrete exterior imi-
tates the bark of an oak. Here and
there are openings, some designed for
ftickers or other large birds, some for
martins, and small, cozy places for
wrens. 1t is a most enticing place for
birds. The concrete stree" will be
placed on the lawn at the bungalow of
DR.. Warren and at the hase will be a
large concrete basin designed as a
bath for all bird callers.
Already twenty-five martins have es-
tablished homes in a box erected for
their use and many other species are
nesting about the grounds.
