some old prisoners which they had

Making Ones Gum
Furniture Means
Saving Money

Added to the pleasure often in
making something that is good
looking and useful is the knowledge
that some money has been saved,
and that knowledge makes one es-
pecially happy in these days when
prices are flying so far skyWard
it would seem as if they were try
ing to Guido Major Schroeder's rec
ord. The boys in the Woodwork
classes of Junior High school are
enjoying both these pleasures.
Even with the high prices paid
for wood" said Mr. Arthur Thomas,
instructor in this work, there is
always a saving" Then he pointed
to a handsome oak pedestal which
he had just finished and said, THE
wood for this cost S175, and a
lady who saw it the other day, said
it was better looking than one she
had priced in town which was eight
dollars"
Work is being put out rapidly in
the department and the boys are
showing great interest. Book cases,
medicine cabinets, wooden stand
ard electric lamps, some with love
ly silk shades, hall trees, tables and
GARDINER stands are the pieces of
furniture generally made. Choice
as to the piece to be made is left to
each boy.
Besides The large amount of fur
niture made, the boys in this de-
partment have just finished a gen
erous number of ironing boards
and jumping Jacks for the Junior
Red Cross shipment of toys to the
Near East.

Dear Aunt Polly: Who invented
needles and pins?-M. b.
Dear NJ. B.: Nobody knows,
Needles and pins were used, we
learn, way back in the old ages.
They have been found in the old
tombs of Egypt and in old ruins OF
some of the earliest nations we
know anything about. The ancient
peoples had an old story that nee
lies were invented by the Goddess
Bellona. These early people made
their needles of wood or fish-bones.
Needles were found in the ruins OF
Pompeii that city Vesuvius painted
off the map. AS far as people can
figure, steel needles seem to have
been invented by the Chinese many
years ago, and brought into Europe
by the Moors, who were, by the
way, a wonderful people. The first
needle factory in Europe was found
ed at Nuremberg in 1870. Pins Of
all sorts of material have been
found in Egyptian tombs, and the
ancient Mexicans, not having steel
pins, used a certain kind OF thorn.
In many parts of England up to the
middle of the sixteenth century
rough skewers of wood were used
for pins. would be afraid OF get
ting splinters, wouldn't you? The
first pin factory in England was
founded in Gloucester. England in
1926 and very soon became very
prosperous. America buys most Of
her pins and needles from other
countries, guess, for there are not
many factories which make them in
the United States.-Aunt Polly.

US. Our dog Prince followed us.
We did not know the dog was fol-
lowing Us until we were on the
New Paris pike. We saw great
many robins and other birds build
ing nests out OF strings and straw.
Elizabeth carried the basket of
cakes. She dropped the cakes. The
dog came and ate the cakes. We
saw a big, black crow sitting on a
fence. 1t took us a long time to
get there. When we got there it
was noon. Then we began to I'M
pack the lunch, because we were
all as hungry as big bear. The
things that we did not eat the dog
ate. When we started home the

Sarah Jane nndI
Have An Adventure

One summer day Sarah Jane,
who was my sister and | went out
for adventure. There were many
hills which surrounded our old cab
in where we were then visiting.
We had never heard about the
dangers Of travelling among the
hills. That day we were feeling
extremely lively and wanted new
adventure. We went early in the
morning on our expedition, not
taking any lunch. We were enjoy
ing lie beautiful scenery and the
fun OF counting the different hills,
when all at once my sister let out
a horrible Shrek which echoed
back on the hills Al first | didn't
know what had happened to her,
but after looking down and seeing
a long, huge rattlcsnake thor
ou2h'y understood. 1t had jumped
UP at her and had scared her. BY
this time she was trembling and
her teeth were chattering fearfully.
She begged to start home immo1i-
ately, but-Where was home?
We were so far from home, per
haps, and We didn't know which
way to start. There We're hills on
all sides of US and we were both
so tired, too, from wandering off.
I looked about'for some houses in
sight, but there wasn't a house.
We thought we could trace the
path back the way We came. Sure
enough, there was the path that we
made coming. so we stumbled along
dragging OR feet, making sure we
were on the right road. We were
getting along fast and far now.
And all of the rattleSnakes were
gone. But, alas, we were on the
wrong path and the road had made
a bend and had made two roads, !
and we had taken the wrong one. !
This led us to an Indian cabin. We
were thoroughly frightened Never !

The Fun We Have
In the Country

The girls of our grade can hardly
wait for vacation to come. 1t is
not because they 20 to the lakes or
any summer resort but just out to
my house, which is in Wayne coun.
ty, three and a half miles from
school.
The names of the girls that
come out are: Marcella, Agnes,
Anna, Martha, Angela, Marguerite,
Lucille, Anetta, Clara, Florence,
Elizabeth and others, whom | can
not remember.
| will now tell of one OF the
times when these girls were out to
my house.
Early in the morning I and my
sister went to town and took a
small spring wagon for about 16
girls and about that many large
lunch baskets.
Well, when the thirteenth one
was just ready to get on, many Of
the spokes came out of one of the
wheels, because of two much weight
upon them.
My sister asked us to get out and
everyone did but we left the lunch
baskets in.
She went on home, and all of us
girls had to walk. 1t was about 10
o'clock when we got there and
then as the day was very warm,
we all went swimming.
Our suits were not so terribly
fancy but what did we care.
Some of the girls knew how to
swim but most of them used water
wings. None of us knew how to
dive, but We got up on the diving
board and just fell into the water.
That is just as much fun to my no.
ton.
After about an hour of this sort
Of fun, We went back to my house
and ate lunch under a large willow
tree, where it was cool, We had
all sorts of sandwiches, and fruit,
cake and milk.
Then after dinner, we wadcd up
a little creek that runs thru our
place and tried to find its end, but
we never got that far as the girls
were too anxious to go back to the
swimming hole.
In the afternoon is when many Of
the girls try to learn to swim
by themselves and those that can
swim try 10 swim underneathc wa
ter.
Toward evening We finished our
lunch and sometimes we have ice
cream and after a little while my
big sister and | take them home
on large red wagon.
On the way, we sing and tell
jokes, and as far as | know there is
not one that does not wish to come
out again.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize Irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferyescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

MORE ROAD MONEY
FOR TERRELL COUNTY
ALLOTMENT OF SIS, 900 OF FED
ERAL FUNDS is GIVEN FOR
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.

Chairman J. C. Hollingsworth of
the board of county commissioners,
has received notice from the state
highway commission has been allott-
ed $4,000 of federal aid for road
work. to be matched on a ffty-ffty
basis by the county.
This allotment is from the 1921
federal fund, and is to be used for
the improvement of the Dawson and
Cuthbert road, which is link on
the highway departments proposed
system of state roads connecting all
of the county sites.
The county is now at work on
project to which $4,000 of federal
aid was allotted last year, the Flor
ida Short Route, and the county au-
thorities are asking for further aid
in this project in order to complete
it in frst-class condition. The COM
missioner of Webster and Stewart
counties are also interested in the
projects and are anxious to have it
connect at Richland with the state
highway from Columbus.
Mr.. C. W. Cage, the third district
engineer of the state highway de-
partment, came to Dawson Thurs
day morning, and accompanied by
Messrs. J. C. Hollingsworth, j. A.
Shields and rode over the Florida
Short Route north from Dawson to
the Chattahoochee county line. They
were joined by county commission
ers and citizens of Webster and stew
art counties, all of whom urged upon
him the Importance and necessity OF
this highway, which from a direct
route from Columbus to Albany and
will be used almost exclusively by
tourists from the northwest.
Mr.. Cage was seemingly much I'M
pressed with the merits of the pro-
ject and the gentlemen who were
present as the representatives of the
counties mentioned are encouraged
to believe that further aid will be
given for work on this project.
The funds available for road con-
struction during the fiscal year of
1921 total $7,1OO,OOO, which in
cludes 100000 in federal aid, an
equal amount from the counties
participating in highway construc-
ton projects and $1,7OO,OO0 from
the state funds provided by the mo-
tor vehicle license tax.
