VISITING BARBOUR'S
STANDARD SCHOOLS

The writer in company with the
county superintendent, Mr. D. P.
Boughman visited the following
Standard schools in Valley and Pleas
ant districts; Teter school, Miss Mon
ia Corrick teacher, scored 80 points
out of possible 100, and was given
a second class rating.
Golf school, Miss Avail Durrett teach
er, scored 80 points, and made first
class. This is a good as can be done
considering the building and other
things. The score could be raised a
little if few trees were planted on
the school house lot.
Sherman school scored 8O1-2
points, a second class. This school
building is in fair condition and with
a little attention could be made first
class.
Pleasant Greek school in Pleasant
District, LA. McNemar, teacher.
made a score of So points, and should
score higher. We found no provisions
here for cooking and sewing, and pri-
mary construction equipment was
very limited in fact so limited that
what we found was not worth consid
ering. No provisions for hot lunches.
nor no parents teacher association.
Other points could be mentioned that
would increase the rating of this
school,
The two rooms at Clemtown fought
by (Nee) Miss Myrtle Anvil and Miss
Genevera Gall made a second class
rating. We found here two enterpris-
ing teachers who are doing much to
give the community a good school.
With little work these rooms can be
made first class.
We may explain that schools are
scored on the following: Yard and
outbuildings, the school house, furn-
Ishings and supplies, school organiz-
alton, and the teacher
We think the Board, teachers, and
county superintendent should be com
plemented in trying to bring their
schools up to a first class rating.
We hope to return to Barbour in
the near future and finish the work
of scoring all the schools that desire
to be scored.

Quick Way to Stop
Night Coughing
New Method Is
Remarks5i Effective

No need to put up with that distress
ing, weakening, sleep-robbing night
cough another night. For there is
simple but very effective treatment
which. usually with single dose, stops
all irritation and let's you sleep soundly

This treatment is based on the pre-
scription known as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Coughs You take lust
one teaspoonful at night before retir-
ing and hold it in your throat for Is or
20 seconds before swallowing it. The
prescription has double action. 1t not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly removes the
phlegrn and congestion which are the
direct cause OF night coughing. So the
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
all night undisturbed.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds. sore throat, hoarse-
ness, bronchitis, spasrnodic Group, etc.
Fine for children as we'll as grown
ups-no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon

GIGANTIC LOBBY FOR
LEAGUE COURT

Arthur Sears Henning, the able
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, ills of the propa-
ganda that is forcing the United
States into the International Court,
an annex of the League of Nations;
''The most gigantic lobby ever or
ganized in the history of the country
to put single piece of Legislation
through Congress it at work to pro-
cure Senate approval of the measure
providing for adherence to the World
Court.
This lobby consists of 281 organ
stations scattered throughout the
country, all founded and financed by
Edward Box, of Philadelphia, donor
of the 100000 Box prize awarded to
a prepayment of the League of Nations.
:. Mr.. Box can afford it. He came to
this country from Holland poor boy
He married Mr.. Cyrus Curtis's only
daughter. He had millions to spend
and he is spending lavishly to secure
close co-opation between the United
States and the League of Nations.
'0The vast scale of Mr.. Bok's propa-
ganda operations is exceeded only by
that of the Anti-Saloon League"
Mr.. Bok's 281 organizations sup
ply the vocal demand and a group of
international bankers furnish the fact
behind the movement to get us into
the League Court.
AS mater of fact, the Information
al Court we are asked to join is an
inseparable part of the League of
Nations.
Until it was proposed that the
United States should go into this
court, as the side door or the back
door of the League of Nations, no
claim was made that the court was
anything but one of the departments
of the League.
The League elects the judges, pays
the judges, fixes their salaries
likes salaries of all employees of the
Court, and pensions the judges.
Its most important feature is that
the League may at some time call up
on this court for advice or counsel up
on any dispute or any question which
the Council of the League sees fit to
submit to it.
President Harding was right in the
last speech he ever made on this sub
ject, in saying that the court should
be divorced from the League before
the United States JONES it.
The Senate should adopt Senator
Reeds resolution calling for an in
vestigation of all this World Court
propaganda by the 281 organizations
and the real motives behind it.
