MUCH RAIN, POOR CROPS

The excessive rain the past few
weeks has retarded progress on the
new federal aid road through Re-
form and also rendered other lateral
roads impossible at times in this
part of the state. The farmers are
very much in need of some clear
weather in which to cultivate their
crops, which are at least 60 per cent
off on account of the wet weather.

BULLOCK COUNTY TO
BUILD NEW SCHOOLS
Proposed Three Mill Tax Will Pro-

UNION SPRINGS, Ala, June 81
Especial Leased Wire.)-Much inter-
est is being manifested by the citi-
zens of Bullock county in the school
district three-mill tax as a means of
making necessary improvements in
the Union Springs public school.
The county commissioners have
called an election to be held on June
rs, when the question will be decided
for this district.
This measure will give an addi-
tional sum of $4,000 for period of
six years and will enable the board
of education to carry out its plans
for new equipment and larger &C
commodations. The present school
building was erected about 20 years
ago and at that time was adequate
to the number of children in the
city, but since that time the county
board has consolidated five rural
schools and brought them into the
Union Springs school, thereby great
ly increasing the attendance and
causing an overcrowded condition.

COMMERCIAL CONTEST


Commercial contest at the high
school last Friday aftrnoon was a
decided success. The parents and
patrons of the school who were in
attendance were agreeably sur
prised.
The first impression to the close
observer was the intelligent appear
ance of those youths who were all
attention and eagerly awaited TIE
moment to demonstrate their abb
lity and preparedness to do their
work rapidly efficiently and well.
We fell that we speak the senti-
ments of all visitors present when
we say that the students We're Wor-
thy of high praise, who demonstrat-
ed such keen perception with the
eye and activity of the hand We
believe that they are second to none
in their line of work and that the
training they are getting is equal to
the best that is given in any hlsi-
ness or comercial college. We there.
fore applaud the work our eeachers
are doing in imparting these care

Now, to you who think of send
ing your youths to some distant
city to acquire business training,
we would heartily recommend that
you visit the commercial depart
ment of the Holly high school. IT
you will do that we will venture
to say that you will have no desire
to send any of your young people
to distant centers OF learning but
will put into practice the Spartan

Go see these young people, look
into their faces which is an index
of the mind and look deep into
their eyes. the window of the soul'
and you will want to befriend and
encourage each and everyone of
them. Like lis perhaph you will

First Naval Disarmament.

The first naval disarmament on rec.
ord was that of King Canute In 1913.
He dispensed with the English fleet
sending it to Denmark. He did not do
this, however until England had been
thoroughly pacitled.
By nature Canute was cruel and vio-
lent, but he displayed talent as ruler.
He knew how to subordinate his pas
sions to the interests of government.
Although practically heather at the
time of his accession to the English
throne he succeeded In winning the
favor of the church.
Having achieved naval disarmament
Canute may have thought that the sea
would become peaceful, too. But he
did not succeed in his tabled attempt
to make the tides obey him.

SOME GOOD HEALTH ADVICE
Just as Valuable Today as When Put
Forward by Wise Old Benjamin
Franklin.

Eat and drink such an exact guam
tity as the constitution of thy body al.
lows of, in reference to the services of
thy mind.
They that study much ought not to
eat as much as those that work hard.
their digestion being not so good.
The exact quantity and quality being
found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Excess in all other things whatever,
as well as in meat and drink, is also
to be avoided.
Youth, age and sick require differ
ent quantity.
And SO do those of contrary com.
plexions; for that which is too much
for phlegmatic man, is not sufficient
for choleric.
The measure of food ought to-be Gas
much as possibly may be) exactly pro-
portionable to the quality and condi-
tion Of the stomach, because the stom-
ach digests 1t.
That quantity that is sufficient, the
stomach can perfectly concoct and di.
sesl, anu IL suiicetn tIe uue nOurlSn-
ment Of the body.
A greater quantity of some things
may be eaten than others, some being
of lighter digestion than others.
The difficulty lies in finding out an
exact measure; but eat for necessity,
not pleasure; for lust knows not where
necessity ends.-Benjamin Franklin,
In Poor richards Almanack" (1742).

All of the medieval styles of English
architecture are found In the Canter-

origin in an edltice which was built

1t has been built and rebuilt many
