Of the American Red Gross is the
ambition of Mrs. r. G. Martin

and continues until Thanksgiving

mount to $1.00; fifty cents being
retained by the county chapter
and fifty cents going to the Ma

Storms, fires, floods, epidemics

chapters in 108 different occas-
ions last year.
Disasters in small towns and
the open country do not sieze the

CARBON COUNTY HI
SCHOOLS ALL ACCR-
EDITED BY STATE

Official count of ballots, cast or
the county high school abolish
ment measure at the November
general election last week, was
made Monday. The returns now
stand: 702 for adjustment, 1924
against.
In last weeks issue of this pap
er we inadvertently stated that the
Carbon County High School is the
only accredited high school in Car
bon County. What We intended to
say was that Carbon County High
School is the only accredited high
school in the county accredited by
the State Department of Education
of Montana and by the North Cen
trail Association and the Northwest
Association. We did not mean 10
convey the idea that the other
high schools in the county were
rot accredited by the State Board
of Education in Montana, for they
are.
Mr.. A. O. Nelson, principal Of
the Belfry public schools, informs
US by letter that:
All seven of the district
high schools are accredited by
the State Department of Ed
ucation. They are not accred-
tied by the North Central and
Northwest associations because
with their limited finance, they
are not able to employ the
number of teachers required
by these associations for ac-
crediting.
ANY graduate of any of the
seven high schools which you
excluded, provided he has fif-
teen units of required credits,
can enter any of the state in
stitutions. That is without ex-
animation. Our own students
are to be found in many in
stitutions without the state,
and not one of them has been
required to take an entrance
examination.
We wish to thank Mr.. Nelson for
his letter, and are glad to know
that the graduates of other high
schools in the county are not obi
ged to take entrance examinations
to enter colleges in other states.
We are always willing to correct
any errors that may occur, in our
paper. This paper serves all of the
people of Carbon County and we
do not Intentionally make any mis-
statements that will injure or
harm any resident of the county, |
Or any part of the county.

The lesson was entitled "rhe Ten

scribes the future of the Kingdom
and in the parable of the Ten Vir-
gins He endeavored to show what
was necessary for a person to be
able to enter into the Kingdom. All
of the class agreed that the five wise
| virgins were those who are prepar-
! ed at all times to meet the BRIDE
groom when He comes and the five
foolish virgins are those who ne
glect their opportunities and cling
to what the world has to give, ra-
ther than to seek those things which
Christ has it in His power to give
for the asking. The picture made il
plain the sadness when the door was
closed in the foolish virgins faces.
So it will be at the end of time when
the bridegroom comes and finds so
many whose lamps are devoid of oil.

Energy Can Be Quickly Re
stored BY This Simple
Method

Eating between meals is often
prescribed by doctors especially for
those working at high speed in
offices and stores.
Energy food, in compact and in
expensive form, is easy to get for
such "snacks," at news and cigar
stands. The popular candy bar and
the little packets of sweet cookies
are outstanding examples of what
is offered. Then there are the soda
fountains where milk drinks and
carbonated beverages can be en-
joyed.
Doctors and food chemists who
have given candy or favored drinks
to workers have discovered that
these foods restore energy quickly.
The fact that the tests have been
made in the late afternoon when
vitality is low, makes the results
more significant.
Sugar, in addition to supplying
energy, can help in promoting
more satisfying diet Those foods
rich in vitamins, roughage and
minerals can be much improved in
flavor by adding a dash Of sugar
in cooking or when serving them.
Good food promotes good health.
