FOR STATE TEACH
ERs EXAMINATIONS
NOTICE

To The Taxpayers of Puenam County
Having just balanced each account
of the county's funds with Trustee
Womack, find our county. finances
in much better condition Than last
year. The county and special funds
have made gain of credit of $4,000
since July 1st, 1919. Therefore we
can reduce their rate of assessment
about one third.
The school fund has been credited
by $173740 which was transferred
from the sheep fund by H. Womack,
Trustee. Therefore the school fund
will only require a small raise in the
assessment rate to give school teach
ers a raise in salary of $1,000 per
month each, as per agreement with
quarterly court.
Under advice Of the State authori-
ties and from the calculation of
county assessor c. r. Countiss, our
tax rate for next year under the new
assessment law will be about 75c per
as against $245 under the
old system of taxation, which will
give the state % cent rate and suf-
ficient funds to pay the different
county expenses as heretofore, in
Guiding the teachers raise in salary.

aEo Cross FIGHTS ILLIrERAcv

= While the primary purpose of the
American Red Cross is to prevent
disease, relieve suffering and minis
ter to the stricken, it Is a notable
fact that its labors do not end there
and that the results it Is. achieving
are by no means confined to the field
of public health.
The question of illiteracy, for in
stance, question that particularly
concerns the south, is one that does
not fall properly into the province
of the Red Cross, yet during the past
few months the Red Cross has taken
q distinctive part in the fight against
flliteracy, part, too, which in this
case perhaps no other organization
could have so readily and successful
" filed.
We refer to illiteracy among SOL
diers demobilized from service. The
United States Government through
the fedeaal bureau for vocational
training, provided these men with the
means to educate themselves for the
trade or profession of their choice,
to better their old positions in the
world held before they entered SIR
vice, or to overcome the handicap of
eyesight by learning new businesses
possible despite their afflictions. But
providing the training was only half
the battle, the other half was in pro-
viding the students. Many men were
not aware of the existance of such
an opportunity or had heard of it
only casually. Others wished to take
the training, but did not know how
fn uH oh
frame of mind to pass it up" either
through ignorance of its real value,
mere Indifference, lack of ambition
or any one a hundred reasons. To
such the Red Gross proved itself a
true friend. We are told by the fed
eral board for vocational training
that s venty-five per cent of the APP
plicants it received in the past month
were sent to it by the Red Cross,
which acted as the Intermediary be-
tween the board and the men, fur
nishing information, giving advice
and oftentimes urging an Indifferent
or Respondent soldier into seizing the |
chance which meant for him a new
foothold on life
Had 1t not been for the Red Cross,
thousands of men would have fallen |
Dack into the old rut and other thOuS- |
ands, crippled and despairing, would |
have lost all hope and happiness. |
Not only do they owe the Red Cross |
a debt of gratitude, but so, too, does
the public. Considering the real
value of such service as this, one
does not hesitate to urge fort he Red |
Cross the utmost of all individuals |
and communities in its peace-time |
program. The aiter-care OF soldiers |
and sailors particularly in the mat.
ter Of vocational training, was a gen.
nine emergency. in our. national life,
The Red Cross flied q role that
promptly and voluntarily
IS none other could have filled it.
Other emergencies will arise in
he future, and we can look to the
Red Cross, II properly supported now
% meet them with equal success.

A week OF generally fair weather

and corn and in harvesting hay,
wheat and oats; also in planting
peas and beans for hay. The tempe
rature was rather low for cotton the
first few days, but was about normal
the last three days. Cotton shows a
decided improvement, and its c0ndit-
ion ism ow fairly good, except It is
two or three weeks late. Squares are
forming pretty generally and some
blooms are reported. Corn made good
progress. This crop is also mostly
late, but otherwise in good condition.
Wheat was nearly all cut by the end
OF the week, under favorable condit-
ions. The total crop is small ana
the results quite varied in different
localities, ranging from very poor to-
good.
The harvest of spring oats was
nearly finished, with good yields re-

to need rain. The weather condit-
