DANNIE

o, Dannie, Dannie, my boy,
Where are you going today?
Up the down and over the hill
A long, long way.
What will you do ON the other
side?
The reapers are working there.
I'll follow the men that bind the
sheaves
And do my share.
Will you watch the yellow corn
fall down
For you to CLEAN?
I'll call to the horses as they go by,
Pulling the great machine.
Up the winding path he went,
Whistling merrily;
Face and arms a-glOwing tan,
Eyes alight with glee.
Up the down and over the hill,
Dannie has gone today,
To work with the reapers among
the corn,
A long, long way.-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

MATTER
 IS CONSIDERED
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO ASCERTAIN COST OF PUT. TING IN FREE FERRY ON ST. FRANCIS RIVER AT CODY.

At a special meeting of the Mari anna Commercial Club held on Tues day night of this week the matter of improving conditions on the ferry on the St. Francis river at Cody was discussed at length. A sug- gestion that a proposition be sub- mitted to the Missouri Pacific Rail- road Company for the county to floor the railroad bridge at Cody, place banisters on the sides and maintain watchmen to direct traf- fife, came up for consideration, but was not looked upon with favor be- cause of the enormous cost of flooring the bridge and paying the watchmen. It was pointed out it would require the services of a watchman on each end of the bridge day and night. This would mean the employment of four men and would entail an expense of ap- proximately $4,000 a year.
 The idea of buying a new ferry boat propelled by a. gas engine, making permanent concrete ap- breaches on both sides of the river and operating the boat as free ferry in the day time and as a toll ferry at night met with much fa- vor. A committee composed of T. c. Conner, Geo. Kausler and Paul Benham was appointed to ascertain the probable cost of installing a new ferry and building the ap- breaches and to report at a subse- quent meeting of the Commercial Club.
 The proposition to confer with the railroad officials about using the bridge was not wholly discarded. A committee consisting of o. C.. Norment, F. R. Dupuy and R. L.. Hope was appointed to take the matter up with the railroad officials and ascertain their position on the question.

NO Enumeration In
 Several Districts

County Judge J. A. Hummer and County Clerk k. w. King call att tention to the fact that in several school districts in the eesnty no enumeration of the children of school age has been taken and where such enumeration is not taken the district loses $2.88 on each child. This is the apportionment from the general school fund in the hands of the state treasurer. Last year no enumeration was taken in several districts and the loss to the school interests of the county was about $5,000. Directors in dis tricts where no enumeration has been taken this year are asked to get busy at once. If the regular enumeration blanks are not on hand the enumeration may be taken in a note book. It is necessary to get the name, age, sex, and color of each boy and girl between the ages of and 21 years. When this list has been made up and properly cer- tified it should be turned over to County Clerk King who will file the lists with the county superintend- ent.

ARMY ADVISORY BOARD
REPRESENTATIVE CITIZE EMS MEET AND ORGANIZE TO CARE FOR CASES COMING
 UNDER HOME SERVICE WORK.

Representative citizens at a meet ing held Wednesday afternoon at the Elks Club organized Salva- ton Army Advisory Board for this county. The board is similar to those organized in other counties of the state and means that every facility of the Salvation Army for social relief is placed at the dis posal of every resident of the cou,i- ty. The board will have it's head quarters here.
 Officers elected at the meeting are: J. A. Hummer, president; o. G. Norment, vice-president; Bennett Freeman, secretary and treasurer. The other members of the board are- R. L. Nixon, J. B. Daggett, D. s. Hummer, H. M. Jackson, M E. Newborn, Chas. Mckee, D. S. Clark, N. J. Williams, Richard McCulloch, w. O. Hopkins, L. A. Spivey and Hugh Nixon.
 The board is now at work mak- ing study of the county. By this method it is hoped to list condi- tions so that the wants of all in~ dividuals and families may be learn ed. All information gathered by the board will be held confidential At the completion of the study, ways and means to deal with situations as found will be discussed by the board members and the Salvation Army when possible will be called in to handle such cases as the board recommends.
 In connection with the study of the county the Salvation Army will consult with the Advisory Board, thus insuring the proper disposal of all cases. The work is part of program for 1920.
 The Salvation Army for forty years has operated in the larger cit ies of the United States. The work it has, accomplished has won for it such commendation that commul mites all over the country have asked the army to establish con- nections so that the. good might be available to all persons. With this view in. mind the Advisory Board was organized in. this county.
 The Advisory board plan of the army, while only few months old, has been adopted in several entire states.
 The establishing of an Advisory Board in this county means that all the homes and institutions of the organization are made available to the residents of the county.
 Wm. Martin Miller, working out of the Chicago office of the Sal- vation Army, spent several days here this week enterviewing citizens and laying the foundation work for the organization of the board. He stated he was much pleased with the hearty spirit of cooperation shown both by laymen and ministers of the city.

 Hardin started the ball rolling for Marianna by getting nice sin gle and took second on a passed ball but he was left when his team mates couldn't connect. Nothing more doing for either side until the third stanza. Elberfield started this off by popping up an easy one to Sullivan at short. He very oblig- ingly made great big juicy huff. Hardin hit one a mile high to center and sat down. McClintock picked out one to suit him and busted it for keeps, the ball clearing Cotter's garage by several feet, and he fol lowed Elberfield in with run Mo-. 2. Nice one, Squirlly. Pretty shirt, too.
 In the fourth the Hardwoods laid the hardwood to the old apple and the locals made a couple of errors three hits, two misses, four runs and it looked like the game. But this lead only lasted until the fifth frame when the locals added four more which was enough.
 Hardin drew four wide ones af- ter Barron had a chance to retire him on a pop foul, but didn't.
