INFLUENZA AGAIN!

Influenza has again appeared in epidemic
form in this county. 1t is spreading very rapidly
in fact as fast as any mode of travel can carry it.
Influenza is one Of the most contagious dis
eases with which we have to contend. and it's
spread is so rapid that it is impossible to control
it's ravages. However we can do much to protect
ourselves if we will only avail ourselves of the
means at hand.
The first and most important step in it's pre-
ventions to avoid crowded houses and crowded
trains and see that doors and windows are open
at all times so we may get plenty Of fresh air
both day and night
Avoid coughing and sneezing as much as
possible. Sprays from the respiratory organs
contain millions of the little germs or seeds of
the disease. They are thrown in to the air and
breathed by we'll people who become infected
If you must cough, or sneeze, cover your mouth
and nose with handkerchief or your hand and
in this way help stop the spread of this deadly
disease.
Influenza vaccine: Yet not perfect though
proven of sufficient value that every person
should take it. 1t is harmless and when syringe
and needle are boiled and the seat of injection
properly sterilized no harm can come from its
use
We are short of Doctors in this county. It
is impossible to give the people the service that
the exigency demands, therefore this condition
makes it more imperative that we use the neces-
sary measures of prevention.

BOB" MINES WITH

Something unique in matters
Masonic is being planned by Hi
ram Lodge No. 1. As soon AZ
another candidate for the sub
lime degree of Master Mason is
ready for the ceremony all the
chairs of the Lodge will be in
charge of Legislative brethren.
This is something unusual as
never before have so many men,

willing to take entire charge of
the work and exemplify the beau
tiful lessons of the degree. It
has been a common occurrence
in years gone by for one or two
Legislators to visit the Lodge
and participate in the work
Of the degrees, but never has a
full team been organized from
the lawmakers. There seems to
be an unusual number of Masons
in this Legislature who are act

OLD CITIZEN DIES
EX-SENATOR PRESLEY T.
MAXWELL SUMMONED
End Came Wednesday Morning
at Four O'Clock-Was
Prominent Here

Ex-senator Presley T. Max
well passed away at a o'clock
Wednesday morning in Ard
more, Oklahoma. He had been
for some time in declining
health.
For many years he was a cit
izen of Marion and took great
interest in all of the enterprises
of the town and county. For
several years past he had made
his home in Ardmore. He was
an ardent democrat and at one
time represented this district in
the State Senate.
Mr.. Maxwell was affiliated
with the Presbyterian church.
He was widely and well known
in all this section. He was Of
ten called on to make public ad-
dresses and was an orator of no
mean ability. He was a gentle
man of the first rank. Our
people will miss his annual Wis
it's from his adopted state.
His remains were brought
back to Kentucky for burial.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

We have heard of AThe Foun-
tain of Youth" as a mytholog-
ical reference but Oren Threl-
keld, the progressive and up to
date farmer of near Repton
claims to have discovered the
real fountain of youth. While
over in Union county buying
some dairy cows, Oren MIXED a
1900 pound registered Holstein
COW belonging TO DR.. MCLEAN
Of Sturgis one morning and said
that she gave 36 pounds of milk
at one milking. Oren is a truth
full fellow and we have utmost
confidence in his statement and
at that rate the COW would give
nine gallons per day. The doc
tors say that it is impossible to
raise healthy children without
plenty of good milk and butter
and Oren holds this as his alibi
in saying he has discovered the
fountain of youth.

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN

Procrastination, or in other
words, I'm do it tomorrow"
is the reason that this column
has not been started sooner.
However l have begun and will
not mind the "perspiration in
preparation" if the farmers
will only give me the neces~
sary inspiration in presenta-
tion."
There are a number of prof
liable ways in which this COL
umn could be used for the far
mer's benefit, but believe if
it could be used in such a way
that you would take an active
part it would result in the
greatest good. Therefore !
shall try first to conduct it as a
source of information.
Now, l know you farmers
and / do not promise to answer
every question asked but will
help you out wherever l am
able to do so.
When you ask a question
give me as many details as
possible and | will publish your
questions and my answers in

your questions to Box 322,

The County First Tobacco
Association was organized at
Oakland last Friday night. The
purpose of the organization is
to create a spirit of co-opera-

to organize and cooperate and
thus create a greater spirit in

THE SCHOOLS

Mr. Il. A. LOcknard, repre-
sentative of the A. N. Palmer
Co. was in our school again
last Friday giving further in
struction in introducing the
Palmer method of writing. We
expect another visit from him
or another representative in
about a month. The writing
materials have come and soon
the children will be well started
in their writing course.
The board of trustees has
adopted this method of writing
for our school for an indefinite
period. We feel sure that writ
ing in our school will be greatly
improved.
For many years some one or
two of the primary grades have
been overcrowded. But there
is a larger enrolment in the
First grade this session than
ever before. more than one hum
dred. Your faithful and eff
cient teacher. Miss Ethel Hard.
has labored under these diff
culties and has brought the best
success possible from them.
But it was absolutely necessary
to divide the grade into two Sec
tions, one attending in the fore
noon and the other in the after
noon. It was not fair to the
teacher to do double work and
it was not fair to the pupils to
have only one half day at
school.
The problem of room has al
ways stood in the way of reliev-
ing this situation. But on rec
ommendation of the Superin-
tendent the board of trustees
has made the best possible pro-
vision for relieving the over
crowded condition. Movable
desk chairs have been ordered
and will be placed in the audito-
rum. Miss Mamie Miller has
been elected as assistant teacher
in the First grade and will be
placed in charge Of one section.
The auditorium is not satisfac-
tory for a class room but it is
the only place available.
The Third grade is over
crowded also, having more than
sixty enrolled. But since it is
possible to crowd them into
the room and because more
room is not available this crowd.
ed condition will have to be put
up with.
From the foregoing facts
il can readily be seen how alb
solutely necessary is the new
High School building. The
graded school would fill the pres.
ent building and the high school
would soon All as large a build.

time for effecting an organiza

Getting Ready for Channel Tunnel

The gigantic task of moving back
the railway station platforms through.
out the Great Northern system to al.
low the passage of continental trains
when the channel tunnel is opened has
been begun, the Daily Mail is in
formed.
"The work of making the stations
to fit the trains will take several
years" said an official. 1T means that
every platform in both freight and
passenger stations will have to be al
tered"
The distance the platforms are be-.
ing set hack is two inches. This will
allow good clearance for the con-
tinenta sleeping cars, and also the
large freight cars
The gauge" (the distance between
the railS) of the continental trains Is
roughly half an inch wider than the
British standard. but the shaping of
the tread of tile wheels makes it pos
sible for trains of both British and
continental system to run on the same
track without risk of accident.

TO REVIVE HOME INDUSTRY
Good Work Done by Knitters During
the War Has Given Impetus to
New Movement.

What was accomplished by the vast
volunteer army Of knitters during the
war Is one of the creditable facts in
the history of the world upheaval
through which civilization has been
passing, says the st. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat. But for the millions of devoted
women who kept the needles flying the
horrors Of the trenches would have
been still more fr1ghtful and deadly.
The achievements of the knitters have
suggested the organization in New
York of society for the revival of
home industry and domestic art. Its
first move is to gather all the spinning
wheels within reach and look up prac-
tical instructors in the use of a house
hold implement that had become but
an antique piece Of furniture. Man
kind needs weavers as well as plow-
men, and spinning at home is one of
the Oldest forms of industry. In the
cabins of American pioneers the spin
ming wheel was necessity, and kept
busy in what, by stretch of imagi-
nation, were called spare hours. Those
were the days of homespun textiles
because often no others were to be
had,

New Idea in Ventilation.

The Ayrton antigas fan, which, ac-
cording to Munsey's Magazine, may
revolutonize all our systems of venti-
lation, is based on the principle that a
fan should be brought down sharply
from the perpendicular to the horizon,
tai, and thus drive the air forward in
steady puffs and set up fresh cur
rent from the rear. The inventor, who
is an Englishwoman, has given public
demonstrations in London with glass
models of dugouts and tunnels from
which the fan readily expels the smoke
At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton
with a three-inch fan, sat at one end
of siX-foot table while smoke poured
forth from funnel at the other end
The action of the miniature fan not
only dispelled the smoke but quickly
gained such control over it that it pre-
vented it from coming out of the fun
mel. The fan works on the hinge and
spring principle and is constructed of
light material. 1t has been used sue
cesSfully in factories, theaters, mines
and sewers.-Youth's Companion.

Find New Kind of Animal.

Captain Philips, writing from Brit
ish Ruanda in the Tanganyika terri
tory, safes he has shot a specimen of
an hitherto unidentified species of
duiker. The animal is about the size
of large goat, and is known as an
eppO or empuyi by the natives. to
whom 1t is in way sacred as being
the totem-beast Of Musinga, the now
reigning chief or mwami of the cOun-
try of Ruanda over the greater part
of which a mandate was recently
given to Belgium by the peace con-
ference.
The eppo lives in the bamboo forests
Of Mount Sabine and other mountain
forests, and seldom comes into open
country. 1t often takes refuge in the
low and broad forks of large trees.
The creature has a stumpy tail, orib
horns, and marsh hooves; in color it
is a rufous black and has bright
yellow stripe along about half of its
backbone. In the case of the present
specimen, which was, apparently
healthy part of the back was nearly
bald of hair,-London Times.

ONE THING THEY OVERLOOKED
British Military Authorities Forgot the
Humble Printer in Desire to Pre-
serve War Secrets.

The marquis of Harrington tells an
episode from the war days when the
spy scare was at its height, according
to writer in the Halifax Chronicle.
Certain confidential information that
the military authorities wanted to keep
absolutely secret was Sent round by
trusted couriers in locked dispatch
boxes, with elaborate precautions of
signing and countersigning and check
ing every stage. No one below the
rank of major general was entrusted
with the knowledge, and even these
were bound by tremendous oaths Of
secrecy.
After time it was found that these
weighty documents, which were circu-
lated in printed form, were being set
up by ordinary printers, who were I'M
der no obligation to preserve secrecy,
and. in fact, took no precautions what
ever against leakage. However, moth
