The School Boy’s Troubles.
Everybody has troubles, and so do we,
And for fear that some of them you
will fail to sec,
We’ll tell you that some things are
right hard on us;
They make us mad and we sometimes
fuss.
The arithmetic problems are hard to
work.
"We try and try, and rarely shirk,
We’d better try to do our best,
For we’ve got to be ready for th-: I
monthly test.
A 11 of the lessons are not easy yet.
On fact, most of them are hard to get.
But we follow this rule and you’d bet
ter, too,
Never trouble trouble, till trouble trou
bles you. —R. A. S.
The boys been envying the girls for
cooking good things, and then having

after the dinner given to the Board.

Miss Hardy is teaching all the
ciasses dances for our May-Day Festi
val. This is going to be a large event
and we are expecting a large crowd.
The two Seventh grades are learning
“The Virginia Reel.” It is going to be
a real "country breakdown." The boys
are going to wear overalls and huge
straw hats. They are also going to
wear a red handkerchief around their
jiecks. The girls are going to wear
blue gingham aprons and a big sun
connet.
There will be a May pole and the
Sixth grades are learning a pretty
dance to dance around it. It is going
tc be pretty, indeed.
We are now drawing flowers in our
art work. We have drawn buttercups,
carnations, tulips, and flag lilies. We
have quite a larged isplay of them.
They look mighty pretty in the room.
The Seventh grades are almost at
the end of their geography books. We
are going to take up agriculture. All
the classes that have taken it have
liked it so we know we will. It will
be quite interesting to know about the
stock of the farm, the soil and the
study about plants. We are rather
tired of geography and think that agri
culture will freshen ns up some. We
expect to be great “gardeners,” and
tala? good care of our tomato plants
that Miss Lizzie is fcoing to give us.
Monday is honor roll and report day.
The honor roll will be in the Times-
Recorder too, so be sure you look and
see who is fortunate enough to get on
Thursday the “monkey man” came
iround to the school and caused great
cxcitment down in the primary grades.
He went into the first grode and we
could hear the children laughing and
shouting. Our room .is way down the
hall, and if we heard them, think of
th? poor class next to them! After a
little while the music stopped and he
went away, much to the disappoint
ment of the first grade.
We have keen having “afternoon
matinees.” The admission is to let a
teacher find the room in disorder when
they come in. The hours are from 2
to 3.
The classes are getting better since
we have this rule and order is over the
whole school in every room when a
I teacher makes her appearance.

emperor made the prince a present of

Japanese customs of offering food
giftss both to the living and to the
spirits of the dead.

Russia Places
Huge Loan In
Japan Banks
f
TOKIO, March 4.—Russia has plac
et 1 a war laon of 50,000,000 yen or
fibout $25,000,000 with Japanese bank
ers. The operation is really for the
purpose of paying part for the
great quantities of war munitions
which the Japanese government and
private arsenals are furnishing the
Russian government.
The loan takes the form of Russian
treasury bills in denomination of 5,-
000 and 10,000 yen and the rate of in
terest is 5 per osnt. The bonds are
redeemable in one year. The bonds
will be issued at the rate of 95. Though
the subscription list will be opened to
the public, the syndicate of Japanese
bankers interested in the loan does
not seem to expect general support
fiom the public, believeing that the
subscribers will b>? confined to the
banking and insurance circles. In
consequence on understanding has
been reached between the syndicate
ard the Bank of Japan that the latter
wil] accept th.? bills as remortgage.

TENDED IMS KEEP
BITTLE FRONT JEM
WOOLWICH, England, March 4. —
• Ten thousand boys too young to fight
are doing what they consider the next
best service cfor their country—turn
ing out munitions in the government
arsenal hers. In ordinary times many
would have become office boys, clerks,
or telegraph messengers, but today the
majority come from points miles from
the factory and help the older men
make the shells and guns needed by
the men at the front.
The pay is attractive. A smart boy
can earn $7.50 a week, or even $lO if
he has a good machine and can keep
steadily at work for as long as 12
hours a day. Parents who have to
choose between putting their boys to
learn a trade at $2 or $2.50 a week
and allowing them to go into the ars
enal at the higher remuneration are
naturally inclined to decide on the
work which not only brings in the
quickest return, but seems to be in
the national interests as well.
Social workers who have the boys’
welfare at heart are inclined to la
ment that so many should be entering
v.hat may not perhaps prove a perm
anent occupation. They say that their
future is not unlikely to become a
problem after the war and that the
country might well remember then!
that the great army of boy munition
workers played no small part in the
difficult time.
The daily life of these boys shows
what sacrifices they are making.
Thousands live an hour’s journey from
the factory, and some have to leave as
early as 6:30 in the morning and can
not get back till 9:30 in the evening.
All work twelve hours a day, starting
at 8 and finishing at 8. They take the
night shift too, also for twelve hours,
and often a boy may be seen asleep
from sheer exhaustion on his way
home in a tramcar or train.
Every effort is made by ths Min
istry of Munitions to safeguard the
health of the youngsters, but the
problem is a difficult one. Eight hour
shifts are being urged and efforts are
being made to improve the transpor
tation facilities to and from the ars- J
enal. One of the latest suggestions I
and the one most likely to be carried |
out is to build miles of huts close to
the arsenal where the boys could live
vzhile engaged in shell-making.
Vienna Hunting
Drug Substitute
VIENNA, March 4.—To meet the ,
serious shortage of certain drugs and
medicines, the Pharmacological Insti
tute has been conducting investiga-
i
tions into the production of proper
substitutes. The Druggists Wochen
schrift publishes a long list of suc
cessful “Ersaltz” medicines alreody
produced, among them being a syn-'
thetic form of morphia, a substitute
for glycerine, and bromine to take the
place of iodine as a skin disinfectant.
SHBINERS BALL IS
LAMHEDING
ATLANTA, Go., March 4. —Xearly
6.000 Georgia Shriners and Masons
and their wives and sweethearts
thronged the auditorium-armory last
night for the big ceremonial and ball
that rivalled in attendance and bril
liancy grand opera week itself.
The stage was converted into a gor
geous throne room, and the magnifi
cent ceremonial entrance of Potentate
Walter Andrews and his divan in full
regalia was an event never to be for
gotten.
On the stage there was a faithful re
production of the complete ceremon
ial spectacle which took place in
Yaarab temple a few weeks ago.
There was a grand march, priaa
drizzling and various other diversions
in addition to dancing were partici
pated in. One unique feature was a
special booth in which ladies were
“initiated” into such mysteries of the
Shrine as the Nobles considered proper
for them to know.
The music was furnished by an all-
Shriner band, and the affair was one
of the most enjoyable and successful :
of the year. The proceeds of the ball ■
will go to pay the expense of sending

English Money
Now In France
PARIS, March 4.—English pennies
and half pennies now circulate freely
in France. They are generally ac
cepted without objection particularly
since the dearth of French copper
coins made itself felt. Curiously
enough the senators are the most re
bellious to the circulation of their
ally’s copper money.
A newswoman at the Luxemburg
palace says the gray-haired men of
the upper house stubbornly refuse the
English coppers. The deputies, how
ever, accept them without a word.
Post card vendors seek them out
and save them ofr English customers,
considering it an advantage to eb able
to offer a Tommy the coin of his
country in change.

standing, and the attendances repre

Georgia.
