"I Cannot Tell Lie''

Mr.. Washington took great pains
to inspire the young George with
an early love of truth.
"Truth, George" he said, "is the
loveliest quality of youth. would

little boy whose heart is so honest,
and his lips so pure, that we may
depend on every word he says. o
how lovely does such child appear
in the eyes of everybody! his par
ents dote on him. His relations
glory in him. They are constantly
praising him to their children,
whom they beg to initiate him.
They are often sending for him to
visit them; and receive him, when
he comes, with as much joy as If he
were little angel, come to set
pretty examples to their children.
"But, Oh! how different, George,
is the case with the boy who is
given to lying, that nobody can be-
lieve word he says! He is looked
at with aversion wherever he goes,
and parents dread to see him come
among their children. Oh, George,
my son! rather than see you
come to this pass, dear as you are

to nail you up in your little coffin,

indeed, would 1t be to me to give
up my son, whose little feet are al
ways so ready to run about with
me, and whose fondly looking eyes,
and sweet prattle make so large a
part of my happiness. But still l
would give him up, rather than see
him a common liar"
"pa," asked George seriously, "do
ever tell lies?"
mo, George, thank God you do
not. my son; and I rejoice in the
hope you never will. At.least, you
shall never, from me, have cause to
be guilty of so shameful thing.
Many parents, indeed, even COM
pei their children to this vile prac-
tice, by barbarously beating them
for every little fault: hence, on the
next offence, the little terrified
creature slips out lie! just to es-
cape the rod. But as to yourself,
George, you know I have always
told you, and now tell you again,
that, whenever by accident, you do
anything wrong, which must often
be the case, as you are but a poor
little boy yet, without experience
or knowledge, you must never tell
falsehood to conceal it.; but come
bravely up, my son, like a little
man, and tell me of it: and, instead
of beating you, George, I will but
the more honor and love you for

The following incident, which we
all know so well, was described by
a lady who witnessed the episode:
when George" said she, "was
about six years old, he was made
the wealthy master of hatchet!
of which, like most little boys, he
was immoderately fond, and was
constantly going about chopping ev-
erything that came in his way. One
day, in the garden, where he often
amused himself hacking his moth
er's pea-stciks, he unluckily tried
the edge of his hatchet on the body
of beautiful young English cherry
tree, which he barked so terribly,
that I don't believe the tree ever
got the better of it.
"The next morning the old gen.
tleman, finding out what had be-
fallen his tree, which, by the by
was a great favorite, came into the
house; and with much warmth
asked for the mischevious author
declaring at the same time, that he
would not have taken five guineas
for his tree. Nobody could tell him
anything about it.
Presently George and his hatch
ct made their appearance. George,
said his father, do you know who
killed that beautiful little cherry
tree yonder in the garden?'
THAT was tough question; and
George staggered under it for mo.
ment; but quickly recovered him
self: and looking at his father, with
the sweet face of youth frightened
with the inexpressible charm of all.
conquering truth, he bravely criec
out, I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know
/ I can't tell a lie, I did cut it with
my hatchet.'

boy cried his father in transports
run to my arms; glad am I, George
that you killed my tree: for yol
have paid me for it thousand fold
Such an act of heroism in my sol
is more worth than a Thousand

and their fruits of purest gold"

Arrow Head News
Gila Bend
BY Helen Robinson

Arrow Head School Observed
Negro History Week.
On Monday morning a lecture
was given on Mary Bethune and
Booker T. Washington. Then on
Thursday morning Rev. A. V. Nc
Kirsach of Portersville, Mo-, lee
tured to the student body on the
accomplishments of George w.
Carver, our great Negro scientist.
Friday afternoon, Mr.. A. R. Reed
of Gila Bend, spoke to the student
body in general of the Negro ac-
complishments since slavery. These
lectures were highly received by
the students and teachers.
Just a word now about Arrow
Head School. This school was Gre
ated last summer by Mr.. John
Barry, the county superintendent
of Maricopa County Schools. It is
situated nine miles west of Gila
Bend on highway 80. This school
was built at a cost of more than
$4,000 and is modernly equipped
with electricity, gas heaters and
ample seating and floor space.
There are also modern lavatories
for both boys and girls. There are
two such buildings on the campus
to accommodate children of har-
vest. workers, who annually mi
crate to this section of the country
to gain a livelihood for themselves.
Whereas, only one of the build
ings was used this school term,
it is hoped that each year all the
buildings will be in use.
There is a full time bus driver
hired to transport the children to
and from school.
The grade level of the children
so far ranges from First to Seventh.
However, the school is able to ac-
commodate the Eighth Grade stu
dents if any should move into this
community.
| The children of the migrators are
not any different from those who
are more or less stable at given
locality. They enjoy outdoor games,
and activities that tend to help
them grow normally.
Aside from class room activities,
) there are two periods that are set
aside for the children's physical
education exercises and once a
week they have a radio (inpro-
viseO quiz program arranged by
them and the teacher and each
child is giving a chance to partici-
pate on these programs. This is
one way that the teacher can dis
cover individual abilities of the
children.
| The children made valentines in
their art classes and held a Valen-
tine party, Tuesday.
Mrs. A. r. Reed has as her house
guest her daughter and children of

'This reliable source of hot water"
the Scott County dairyman sums up,
has played an important part in the
efficient operation of my dairy. On
our dairy's must list the electric
water heater runs very high"
With hot water for sanitation, and
electric lights and mixers (Which
Mr.. Horton also uses to good advan-
tage) Appalachian's rural lines are
making valuable contributions in the
area they serve. In the counties of
Washington, Scott, Dickinson, Rus
sell, and Wise, we built more than
1925 miles of rural line last year. APP
palachian continues to build more
rural lines in 1850. Soon more farm
ers - dairymen and others - will be
enjoying electricity's benefits. Soon
every farmer in our territory who
wants electricity will have it.

When you've got a full-time job thirty
miles from home and an 18-cOw dairy
herd besides, there aren't many spare
minutes day. No time to build fires,
for instance. No time to wait while
limited supply of water heats up.
Ernest Horton of Rye Cove had just
that problem and he gives his electric
water heater large share of the
credit for solving it.
Kyle Kern runs the farm daytimes
while Ernest is working at the Ten
nessee Eastman plant in Kingsport.
Kern's too busy at feeding, milking
and other chores to be a fireman. Mrs.
Horton helps in the dairy, too, but her
husband says "she would have prob
ably stopped her work about the dairy
long ago if there had not been instan-
taneOus hot water available when the
equipment was ready for cleaning"
