To call it the Blue River trip is mis-
leading to the uninitiated, however, Ior
there are perhaps a dozen Blue Rivers
in the northwest and probably most of
them are as well, if not more widely
known thRn the one in quesuen. nav.
Kenzie river is a better name for the
drive, for it is of that stream that Blue

Many parents and others manifest
ed interest by their presence.
Prof. Hemphill gave briefly the
outline of work we should take up,
1t is pitiful, when we see for our
selves, the condition of our school.
Get the picture before you, please
not enough teaching force. not
enough room for the pupils, no libra
ries and no play grounds worth while.
These are facts that hurt when we
are really cognizant of them-our
neighboring city schools do not de-
pict such a deplorable picture; and
neither will Water Valley very much
longer, for all the parents and inter-
ested ones that were not at this first
meeting will surely not fail to be
present on Jan. z, 1920. OF course
, this great movement should be, and
will be, backed by every citizen of
Water Valley.
Let it be one of your New Year
resolutions, that you will come and
join the P. T. A. on the afternoon OF
Jan. z, 1920, at o'clock. We must
be up and doing.

R. c. XMAS SEAL NOTICE.

To the Workers of the Red Cross
Christmas Sale:
Redouble your efforts from now
until Xmas and give every one
chance to invest in the health Of our
county and state.
To the public: 5000 people in
Mississippi and 80 to so, each year,
are dying in Yalobusha County, from
tuberculosis, and If every one viii do
his duty, this can be stopped, and II
we do not put fotrh every possible
effort, we will have the same number
next year and still the next, and you
may be assured that in investing In
this insurance, you will surely save
yourself or some member of your
family, for this scourge finally in
vades every family, and as every case
transmits it to s other people. we
can see what an awful enemy it is,
lurking in the dark to attack US un-
aware.
We know the cause and how to
prevent it and all we need Is the
money to put what we know in effect,
and to teach those who do not know.
Yalobusha County is expected to
raise $150O00, and ] believe II
enough people are given an oppor-
tunity to buy seals, we will have no
trouble in securing this amount.
Health is purchasable-it win cost
less to prevent than to treat the d.
sease, and then the long drawn out
suffering and finally the pathetic
death of young fathers and mothers
is so often avoided.
w. &. GRIFFIN, Chairman.
