CANNED PEACHES

The National Society for the Pro-
motion Of Thrift" sent the News
bunch Of dope this week (which Is
not far different from the dope that
dozen or so other self-constituted
societies and committees inflict on
the papers Of the nation each week.
and as the subject, or rather one of
the subjects, seemed to relate to can
ned peaches and as the writer is some
what partial to canned peaches he did
something that he does not do as US
ual thing--he read some of the matter
which was clamoring for space in the
columns of the paper.
One Of the headlines reads: "Save
money by canning your Winter Sup

aroused and he wondered how much
money could be saved by canning a
few and SO he looked around to see
what he could see-in the peach line.
He found the peaches all right and
the price was all right too--for the
seller-it was two peaches for Is
cents.
Then he came back and looked at
the dope again and read:
"The loveliest, ripe, juicy peaches
are on the market-have you seen
them?
"It's worth trip down town just
to see how generous mother Nature
has been with US even under the
handicap of a late freeze. And then
that wonderful peach smell'-the
stores are full of it. There isn't an
other fruit that tempts the appetite
SO strongly by its odor, as the peach
have often wondered why they do
not make peach perfume so we
could have 1t the year round.
Isn't that just too sweet and poet
ical for anything. Gosh! It makes
a fellows mouth water just to think
about it-but 15c for two--and the
poetry fades away.
The wrier couldn't put up a can Of
peaches to save his life anyway, 80
he let the matter drop and read q

PARENTS TO learn
TO Read and WRITE

When the new scnool at Big Hill is
completed and opened for use, there
will be some of the oldest student;
of the state in attendance, since the
teachers employed there have pronis-
ed residents who have been assisting
with the new structure that they
would teach at night and hold regu-
lar sessions for parents of many of
the students who would be in attend
ance during the day.
This movement has been planned
first, because three are number OF
residents of the neighborhood who
are DESTROYS of learning to read and
write. These same residents, many
of whom represent the wealthiest
class, have been instrumental in the
new school being provided with many
essentials. Cooperation and benefits
derived therefrom are being demon
strated in that section of the county.
The night schools will be one of the
results, and the ability to read and
write upon the part of many of those
even past middle age will be anoth-
er. The interest in the schools has
never been as great as at the present
time. instructors from Berea and
other institutions have taken decid-
ed interest in the parent.
There will be demonstrations DIN
manual training, as well as domestic
science, which promise to add greatly
to the Importance Of the future of the
schools. There will be special days
set for these, and parents as well as
students will be invited to observe the
work. This work will be partly done
by the students, under the supervision
of the management, and parents will
be taught from the lessons learned
by their children. This is said to be
he first instance wherein these fea-
lures have been taught to both stu
dent and parent simultaneously.
