ERAN RETURNS TO
HOME IN THIS CITY.
K. L. Breolsins Spent Over Two
Years Over Seas.

It is doubtful if any of Drew
county's sons saw more actual
service in the late war than did
Kenneth l., Brookins, son of Mf.
S. D. Brookins of this city.
Young Mr. Brookins was
among the first to hear the coun-
try's call to arms. He enlisted
May 18th, 1917. He was sent 70
Fort Bliss, Texas where he re-
NAMED but five days before be-
ing transferred to a port of en-
barkation. On the 18th day of
F. une Of the same year he sailed
from New York with Co. L, 10Th
true to type, alert, eager to do
ion.
Five months later Cpl. Brook
ms was on the firing line. He
served in five campaigns. In
spite of the reports of serious
wounds, ampatation of limbs.
death etc he came back to tell
OF two slight flesh wounds. Cpl.
Brookins was in some of the
heaviest fighting as might be
imagined from the organization
with which he served. His con-
pany received official credit for
capturing fifty German soldiers.
After the signing Of the arm
istice he was sent to Germany
where he served FOR eight
months with the army of oc-
capation.
Cpl. Brookins received his dis
charge last Saturday at Camp
Pike after putting in two years
ard four months Of which only
about six weeks was spent IN
this country. His many friends
will be glad to welcome him
home.

GOV. pROUGH EN-
D9RSES SALVATION
ARMY DRIVE.

Whereas, the Salvation Army,
by an unselfsh devotion to duty
N the face Of the dangers and
diseomforts Of the field and
camp, demonstrated itself to be
one of the greatest and most
efficient civilian agencies of the
World War fer the amelieration
Of suffering and ministration to
the bodily needs of those who
were engaged in the warfare for
humanity, and
Whereas, q new field is open
ing before the Salvation Army
in the extension Of its activities
to the problems of civil life; the
work Of the boys in khaki is end
ing, but the Salvation Army will
carry on its warfare against
proverty, disease and degrade
ton, having adopted as its
altruistic motto, "a man may be
down, but he's never out" The
war has taught the world new
methods of business, and the
Salvation Army has itself caught
q new vision of its mission and
possibilities of service, and the
''tambeurine lassie,o instead of
begging pennies to meet the ex-
penses Of the organization, can
be employed in much more i'm
portant tasks; and
Whereas, it is proposed that
the people Of the United States
are to be asked to contribute
$13, 100000 to the Salvation
Army as an earnest of their APP
probation Of what was accom-
plished in the war, and the great
work to be undertaken in civil
life, Arkansas quota Of this
amount being $250OO0, practi-
cally all Of which is to be used in
Arkansas.
Now, therefore, |, Chas H.
Brough, Governor of the state of
Arkansas, by virtue of the
authority vested in me under the
/ Constitution and laws Of the
state, and acting in my official
capacity, DO hereby set aside
the week of October Is for MAX
ing a campaign for the solicita-
ton of funds to be raised in this
state, and call upon the people
to be generous in their con-
tributions to this worthy cause,
IS the Salvation Army workers
were devoted to the interest of
our boys engaged upon the his
toric fields of France and in the
camps and environments Of the
United States.

DEVELOPMENT OF
RURAL SCHOOL UNDER
SMITH HUGHES BILL.
Work OF Home And School Be
ing Correlated.

Some splendid work along
practical educational lines is be-
ing done now for the boys and
girls of the rural districts all
over the Nation as result of
the Smith Hughes Bill. Per-
haps it is not generally known
that down here in Southeast
Arkansas we have two schools
which reach the STANDARD known
as Type A. These are the Selma
school under Mr.. E. C. Roberts
and the Fountain Hill School I'M
der Mr.. V. S. Bright.
The Smith Hughes Bill has
made it possible for any pro-
gressive rural community to get
funds for improving its school,
through the aid of the Federal
and the State Governments.
The Federal Government works
through the State Board of
Education and it in turn works
through the local board. Gov
eminent aid is in proportion to
students of rural origin. the
minimum requirement being 80
students whose fathers own and
operate farm of 40 acres.
There are also requirements as
to equipment and the teachers
must reach a certain standard.
Another essential is that three
hours a day must be devoted to
the study of agriculture. In the
forenoon one and half hours is
given to supervised project
study by means of text books,
bulletins, journals, labratory and
shop work. Each student has
some project such as the raising
Of pigs, poultry or corn he is
seeking to advance by means of
the technical knowledge thus
acquired. The remainder of
the school day up till 2::3O is de-
voted to studies of a broadening
nature, such as English, History,
Science and Mathematics. At
2::30 the students go home to de-
vote an hour and half to actual
work on the project on the home
farm under the guidance or SUI
pervision OF the instructor. It
should be stated that no student
under fourteen Is permitted TO
enroll for this type of work.
The beauty of it all is that
home and school are being cor
related and these boys and
girls are being taught to appre-
ciate thu possibilities that lie
at 70 : -.oUrs. AS the value of
work comes to be realized,
sore and more of these schools
will be established.

DIR. B. p. KIMBRO LOSES
MORPHINE

A theft of rather unusual
nature took place in this city
some time since when the Office
of DR.. B. p. Kimbro was entered
and one hundred and seventy
five tablets of morphine was
taken out. While the value of
the morphine was slight (about
$3.50 the doctor is naturally
indignant at the impudence of
the thief.

SALE OF LYCEUM
TICKETS BEGINS
NEXT WEEK.
Every Body Urged To Help And
BE Benefited.

Again Supt. WhiteSide and
the Ministerial Alliance want to
call the attention of the people
of Monticello and vacinity to
the fact that we are to have a
Lyceum Course this year of five
unusually attractive numbers.
Nothing is better index to
the real character of the people
of a community than their
amusements. If the only place
of relaxation open to the young
people of a town is a low class
pool hall or cheap show where
nothing but questionable pic
lures are shown, the most casual
visitor to the town at once forms
a low estimate of the taste and
culture of the people, Judging
from that alone. If he remains
long enough he will soon have
other data on which to base the
same opinion.
In these strenuous DAYS in
which we live, relaxation of
some kind is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the human machine
going. Most of us are running
at a dangerously high rate of
speed in our efforts to keep
ahead of Mr.. II. C. L., who is so
hot upon our trail. However we
do slow down. or ought to, oc-
casionally for some kind of
diversion. When we do it is a
fine thing a part of the time at
least, to go where that which
gives relaxation will also min
lister to our aesthetic and in
tellectual development. This is
what makes good Lyceum
course so tremendously worth
while.
Monticello is to be congrat-
ulated that she has in her
superintendent of schools and in
her ministers men with that
breadth of vision that they are
willing to assume the financial
obligation necessary to secure
this kind of high class enter
tainment for the people of the
town, We owe it to these men,
who have done this splendidly
unselfish thing to support the
Lyceum as public enterprise.
We really do need the diversion.
Lastly we owe it to the school
children and young people of
Monticello. Their tastes are
now III the plastic state but are
rapidly taking form. The future
of Monticello is in their hands.
Tomorrow they will be in our
places and their character will
determine the character of the
town.
DR.. Shepperson states that
sometime next week the sale of
season tickets will begin. The
price of the season ticket will
be $500 with special rate of
$1.25 for school children. Par
ents are urged to buy tickets
for their children. Have a
heart! Give the kiddies a
chance!

MONTICELLO SCHOOL
WINS hDN0R IN MOD
E2N HEALTH CRUSADE
Entire Membership OF Junior
High Eniists.

One of the most worthwhile
Il organizations which had its
birth during the war was the
Junior Red Cross. Partly to in
4 crease It's funds for It's magnif-
icent war work the American
Red Cross management sought
T. enlist the interest and the
enthusiasm OF the children
through this junior organiza-
ton. However the main purpose
was through the children to in
augurate a movement for the
improvement OF health condi-
TORS throughout this country
knowing how children love
stories of daring soldiers and
how they long for chance 10
emulate their deeds, the man
agement decided to call the
health campaign a Crusade"
and the children who would
enlist 'Knights.' It was
happy thought as has been
proven by the response of the
children.
The teachers in Monticello
found the children OF our town
true to type, aledt, eager to do
and dare and enthusiastic in the
support Of any project calling
for these qualities. While the
children Of all the grades did
well those Of the first and sew
enth mace an especially splen-
did record.

year taught the seventh grade
and IS this year Principal of the
Junior High, is deeply interest.
ed in this work. The especially
fine record made by her rooal
last year naturally attracted the
attention of the Arkansas Public
Health Association and she was
asked to become county man
agef fer the Junior Red Cross
work in Drew county this year
She accepted and is now enter
ing with enthusiasm upon her
work. Already she has succeed
ed in enlisting each child in the
Junior High. Next week she
will take up the matter with tie
Grammar School teachers and
during the Fair she hopes to get
IN touch with the progressive
rural teachers.
We are giving below the an
nouncement sent out from the
State Health Department with
regard to Monticello's last year
record:
"The rural school at Montrose
and the first and seventh grades
OF the Monticello grammar
schools are winners of the tits
in the Modern Health Crusade,
which has been conducted By
the Arkansas Public Health AS
ISOLATION and the Junior Red
Cross in the public schools of the
state, according to the announce
ment made by the former or
ganiZation.
Being winners in the State
Tournament means that a large
percentage Of the children in the
classes mentioned, have kept the
health chores" for a period Of
ten weeks beteen February and
August /, better than any other
grades in the state that have
made reports to the Health As
ISOLATION.
THE ''health chores" are rules
under which the children must
live, and each child is expected
to keep a chart which tells what
chores" they omitted and which
ones they performed, and on the
report for the week the per-
centage is obtained. The per-
Torrance of the chores" not
only means a higher percentage
Tor the class, but also assures
the child of health and lessons
the danger of tuberculosis.
Victory in the tournament
carries with it Modern Health
Crusade banner which is pres
ented to the class or school
