B. AYRES ((&. JS24. Western Newspaper Union.) THE f/irmer looked nt the slim, be spectacled young man In front of liltn and gnve a contemptuous grunt. “So you’re the new schoolmaster of Four Corners!” he said. “Yes, I guess I can hoard you. I boarded the last three schoolmasters. My terms la twenty dollars u month, payable In advance.” “Why In advance?” Inquired Mr. i Pendleton quietly. J “Because you won't last a month," I answered Silas I’rettyman. “None of I 'em does.” j In spite of his anticipations, Mr. Pendleton’s henrt sank as he took his I place at the desk. The school consisted of hoys and girls of all nges, from Jim Smith, a husky youth of some twenty years, who was still struggling over the mys teries of long division, and Miss Susie Connor, a farmer's daughter, who tit tended principally to be a sort of ma tron to the little ones, down to the staid little ones of seven and eight years. It was after school on that day that Smith came Insolently t’p to Pendle ton. “Say, you're the one-lunger, ain’t you?” he asked. “We don’t want to he hard on a feller what's only got one lung. So I’tn going to make tilings easy for you. If you act right. Under stand?” Before Pendleton had recovered front his surprise, Smith had slouched away, leaving the young man gasping at his pupil's audacity. “No eorp’ral punishment," was the slogan In Four Corners, which prided Itself on bcdiiß an enlightened commu nity. Hut, oven If such n method of discipline had been permitted, how would If have been enforced? The question was prompted by the pandemonium that followed upon Mr. Pendleton’s resolute rejection of Jlra Smith’s proposition. Smith lounged Insolently In his seat; Smith talked with his neighbors and contemptuously refused to recite Ids lessons. “I told yor what it would he If you didn't do ns I said,” lie explained to Mr. Pendleton, when the schoolmaster remonstrated with him privately. “(let out of the school? Say, yer crazy. What’d I get out for when I'm having the time of tny tlfe here?" There was one tiling that kept the school master to Ills work. That was Susie Connor. A strong attachment had begun to down between the young man and the pretty country lass. “If I wore you, Horace," she said one day—they had begun unconscious ly to call each other by their first names —”1 would try to make a real school here.” On the next day Smith cast aside all pretense at discipline. Ills re marks—made In class —were brief and pointed. "You're sweet on her," he sold, In dicating the girl, whose face was man tled with red. "She’s my gal. Mr. Schoolmaster understand? And I won’t have any miserable, measly in terloper coming here fooling round Susie." Mr. Pendleton had been aware thnt Smith had n calf-llke attachment for the girl, hut It had never occurred to him to take him seriously. He looked up hopelessly, and he saw a strange look In Susie's eyes. He could not help interpreting it aright. It said: "Are you man w'.p to pre vent my being Insulted and to stand up for me?" "Mean that, Smith?" asked Mr. Pen dleton, leaving his desk and crossing the floor. Smith leaped at him with a bellow. "Ah, sure’” lie mimicked. "You’ve had your day, Mr. Schoolmaster, and now you cun git, because this school won’t open any more so long as you’re In this town, you snivelling hound." "Smith.” said Horace Pendleton, "yon are n bad hoy and you have the makings of a bad man in you. Do you see that switch In the corner? Go and bring It to me." The lout stared at him incredulous ly; then, with swinging arms, be rushed at him. Next moment, he found himself lying on the floor. The schoolmaster yanked him front the floor and grasped hint with one hand by the collar. And Smith crept to the corner —then, with a wild yell threatening vengeance, he had burst out of the door and was running in the direction of his home. “This will mean good-by. Susie," said the young schoolmaster, after the wide-eyed, respectful class had been dismissed. But when he reached bis home Silas ITettymun was waiting for him with a hearty handclasp. "I wouldn’t hn' believed it of you,” he exclaimed. "Why, It's atl over the town and everybody’s saying ns how we can begin to have a real school. You —little —whlppersnappert I.et me feel your arm. Gosh almighty, where did you git tbnt?" "Oh. I used to he lightweight boxer at Yale," answered the schoolmaster, cheerfully. “But how about the cor poral punishment rule. Farmer?" ITettymun grinned. “Say. young feller." ho said, "the man who wins out makes his own rules In general. An' I want to put In the first bid for boarding you and Suste till you get yohr house fixed. Thirty-five a month, LtTl be —and you needn't pay in ad • Vance. I guess you'll last now." INFANT HYGIENE WORK GIVEN ENDORSEMENT The recent General Assembly, among other good things, gave Its endorse ment to the federal aid In Maternity and Infant Hygiene by appropriating $5,000.00 to the State Board of Health to he matched by the federal appropriation, making $10,000.00 for our State in this work. The bill was one that was sponsored by the various women’s organizations anrl in troduced by Mrs. Napier, of Bibb; she worked for the bill constantly. Owing to a clerical error this money was not made available for this year, as the hill called for the appropriation for 1924 in the body of the hill, but in the caption it said ”1925.” The At torney General ruled that the caption of the bill, being the index to the hill, would hold and not the body of the hill. Georgia is thankful for this small amount, hut, when we think that over $24,000 is in the vault at Wash- Ington awaiting our call, it looks very small. Compared with the $48,000 we could have, it looks smaller still when we look at the need for the work, es pecially when we consider that of all the babies born in our state one-third of them are not attended by a phy sician, and again when we consider that one third of all our deaths are under fifteen years of age. Again, the total sum that is due us under this law seems imperative when we know that every day two mothers give up their lives in our state that another soul may be born. Oh, the need, the need of money and work; education of our masses, the saving of mothers and babies! The necessity of mother care and infant care has taken hold of some of our citizens, and now we have the promise of doing more than ever in our state. A special appropriation has been made in Athens for a nurse for ma ternity and pro-school work, Colum bus one, Augusta three, Savannah two and Macon three. All of this money has been turned over to the State Board of Health, who, in turn, put up an equal amount and will supervise the work of those ten nurses, as well as the six who will be employed by the Board for work in rural sections. The nurses employed by the State Board will be used principally In giving in struction to midwives. This is a much-needed work; it gives great promise of much good. The Georgia Medical Association, with Hr. J. O. Elrod as its president, is lending its organization to this par ticular phase of the work. It is really pioneer work, as up to this good time nothing has ever been attempted along this line. Rules and regulations are now being perfected and lessons pre pared. The nurses, in co-operation with the members of the Medical Asso ciation, will call the midwivee to the county seat and demonstrate to them the rules of cleanliness and the signs of danger. This will of necessity be a slow process, and several years will bo consumed in the perfecting of the w'ork, as the present midwife is, as a rule, without education or training of any sort; many times she cannot read or write. She is a necessity and fills her place. She naturally wants to do right, and for the first time in our state she is to have a chance to go to school and learn especially the things she ought not to do. The need is great; the task is great; the aid of our physicians is great; the urge is great; the money to do with it SO SMALL! Question of Food Very Important Pellagra occasionally occurs in Georgia; in fact, we are having more deaths from this disease than we should. It is easily preventable; no medicine is required, only proper food, and that food principally milk, with a liberal allowance of fresh meats. A varied diet is necessary. Proper food arrests the disease if not far advanced. The State Board of Health will be glad to supply diet lists to those interested, and be of auy assistance possible If you will write them at 131 Capitol Square, Atlanta. The question of food is always important, but especially so tn certain diseases.

Solving the Problem There litis been a good deal of ar gument about the way the young peo ple carried on in the town square these evenings. Many of the city fa thers thought it a public scandal, but they didn’t have a big enough appro priation to employ special police. The village halfwit, however, felt that he could solve the problem, lie offered to do it for a can of black paint and two dollars. One of the town fathers was rush enough to fur nish these requisites. Next day the town was electrified to see that all the “No Parking” signs roundabout the square had, by the in sertion of an “S” before the second word, become effective warnings to ro mantic youth.—Philadelphia Ledger. Character in the Pencil “Can character he rend from the type of pencil one uses?” asks Popu lar Mechanics Magazine. According to one expert the answer is yes. Men are usually attracted by the lead and women by the outside coloring, he says. Persons of strong character know just what they want and will not he satisfied with anything else in buying, while weak characters adjust themselves to the first pencil offered them. Conservative people, who are used to certain pencils, demand what they have always had. Cautious folk wish to try out a pencil exclusively before purchasing it. Freak pencils are said to be much in demand. Rocks for a Park At the registry office in Bath, Maine, there is recorded a deed from the United States to the state of Maine of Sugar Loaf islands at the mouth of tlie Kennebec. The deed says that these islands shall be used for park purposes, and in tlie event of their being used for any other pur pose the title shall revert to the Unit ed States. But the islands are a cou ple of large rocks each about 200 feel long. A good deal of their area is devoid of growth, while on the rest shrubs, grass and a few small trees struggle for life.—Exchange. o The lucky numbers for the floor lamps at Miss Mat tie Elliott’s are: First, 3195; second, 4082.
