Education Writes Letter

Since 1890, the schools of Missis,
sippi have been required to observe
Arbor Day each year, Beginning in
1888, the week ending the first Fri
day of February of each year has
been observed as Mississippi Con
~servation Week.
This week has been sponsored by
the Mississippi Federation of Wo.
mems Clubs, assisted by the Mis-
issippi Congress of Parents and Tea
cheers, the Garden Clubs of Missis.
sippi, the Mississippi Association for
the Conservation of Wildlife, and
other clubs and organizations in CO.
operation with the State Department
of Education, the State Department
of Agriculture and Commerce, the
Mississippi State Game and Fish
Commission, and the Mississippi For
estry Commission.
AS a result of the activities of
these various organizations, the leg
i%slature in session this year enacted
a law which sets up the week be-
ginning the first Monday in Deem
Der of each year as Mississippi Con-
servation Week with the days Mon
day through Friday in their order
designated as minerals, water, soils,
wildlife, and Arbor Day.
The State Department of Educa-
ton, the State Oil and Gas Board,
the State Department of Agricll-
ture and Commerce, the Mississippi
Geological Survey the State Game
and Fish Commission and the Mis-
sisippi Forestry Commission have
prepared a bulletin giving suggested
programs to be used each day during
Conservation Week. 1t is our hope
that every school in the state will
use these suggestions in working out
constructive and educational pro-
grams for their schools. These pro-
grams have been sent to the county
superintendent Of education for dis
tribution to the schools.
Mississippi has been abundantly
blessed with her natural resources.
but if future generations are to en-
joy these benefits, it is necessary
for the entire citizenship of the
state to work together in an eff
fort to conserve what we have and
restore the which have
been destroyed.
We are asking for the one hun
dred per cent cooperation of every
teacher and citizen in the state to the
end that every person in the state
will become more and more "con-
.servation minded"

"BuiId-Up" Relief
Explained to Women

A simple method has saved many
women a lot Of suffering!
It is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain
are often symptoms Of functional
dysmemoryhes due to malnutrition.
Help for this condition 50 often
follows the use Of CARDUI, be-
cause it usually increases the ap-
petite and the flow Of gastric Juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CARDUI q few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps cas- periodic
discomfort. Women have used
CARDUI for more than 50 years!

Durunt Closes Season
With West Wednesduy
BY William Cathev

Concentrating on plays, c a c h
Dace Davis has prepared his Durant
High gridders for their final clash
of the 1910 campaign here Wednes-
day afternoon with West. Activity
will get under way at $50.
The local group refrained from
any workouts last week, and polish
ing up on plays and formations has
been necessary. The Tiger mentor
plans to s as many boys as pos
sible who will return in 1941. SEN
niors members of the squad likely
will see some action but their stay
on the gridiron is expected to be very
brief.
Having garnered four wins in six
starts, the home forces have chalked
up two conference decisions and
dropped an equal number. The tilt
with the West lads will determine
whether the percentage in loop tri-
umphs will be above or below the
500 mark.
A comparison of the years slate
reveals that Durant has the better
record in games won and lost and in
points scored. Coach X. l.. Taylor's
group has counted IA markers to
opponents 1873 in winning from
Tchula - to 7, Walden 16 to 0
and McAdams 9 to 8 while losing 0
to z to Ethel, 0 to 8 to Bent0n, z
to 10 to Carrollton, 0 to 81 Eupora

Eaton had conferred with a boiler expert since the meeting last Mon- day and this expert recommended highly the boilers MT. Neary pro- poses to install, MT. Eaton said. By installation of a sectional boiler, oil may be burned later on instead of coal, Warden John J. Sheridan and MT. Eaton said.
 After certain details are worked out the work will be started, but the members feel that the work should not be delayed too long because of the uncertainty of the weather. Warden Sheridan suggested that if anything unforeseen developed, a meeting be held immediately and this received approval of the board.
 Naugatuck, August 3O-Displaying the same brilliant brand of ball that carried them to the first round championship, the Risdon softban team set back the U. S. Rubber combine 6-5 in the first game of the Dusty League playoff last evening at the Recreation Field.
 The U. s. team got away to Al lead in the first two innings, but big third frame in which the Toolmakers scored 5 times was too much for the second round champs. Two walks sandwiched between hits by Ayers, Nolde and Larson, plus some great base running by the lat ter, gave the Risdons lead which they never relinquished. Upright gave the Uscoes only two hits, noe a home run by Shannon, from the third inning until the end of the game.
 Upright and Rabinovich were the rival hurlers, and both pitched good ball with the former having a slight
