one Of the most dcplor,ble facts
the people OF McCurtam couniy has
to face is the fact that at the present
time our children, especially in the
rural districts are not all receiving
an education. There are "a number
of reasons for this.
One of the chief reasons is lack OF
money OF the parents, another Is
that there are "a number of widows
in our county and the children must
keep out of school because the funds
will hardly stretch to clothe and feed
the little fellows, to say nothing of
educating them; another very grave
reason is Indifference ON the part Of
the fathers-for who ever heard Of a
mother who did not want her child
educated?
There is a dear little manly fellow
who hauls wood for me some times
who says that he does not want an
education, because pa did not have
one and he can make money hauling
and cutting wood. 1T is up to the

Maybe You're Tired of War
Stories, but This One Is
Differens-lt Tells Why a
Turkey Was Kept Fifteen
Months for Christmas

Came to our household a few days
ago II letter in which il was stated
that a little family of three in a lit
tie town in Illinois, near st. Louis,
had a 25.pound turkey for Christmas
N C.
Now an ordinary 2j.pound turkey
is not So much of turkey, after
all. Why, the late Horace Nose
Of Westerly, K. l., used ~ send the
president Of the United states, every
Thanksgiving, n turkey much weight.
Ter than that. Once. | recall, he sent
the president a 49-pound turkey.
N c.
Nevertheless. thut 25-pound turk cy
which the little family Of three in
the little Illinois town shared with
some relatives and friends on Christ
mas Day was, in some respects, the
very biggest cid turkey gobbler YOU
or anybody else ever heard Of or prob
ably will hear Of, ncighhor.
N C.
For there was very much more to
that turkey than the white and the
dark meats, and the delicious dress
ing, and the gravy that made your
mouth water. Yes, great deal more
indeed That turkey represented the
love of a sister for brother; and il
stood for pure and pathetic hope;
and it had grown big and hefty and
waXed fat uron the slow, sure wan
ing of that hope.
N c.
And when that hope died, that
turkey followed suit.

that year his sister--the one VINO
cooked the Christmas turkey fifteen
months later-receved from the war
department message that Arthur
Heberer was "wounded severely" And
that was the only message ever re-
ceivcd from the war department.

not come.
