Our class as a whole have made up our minds that Algebra can’t work itself. The Biology class performed a very serious operation on an earthworm Wednesday. The High school girls enjoyed very much a lecture given us by Dr. Eliza both Reid on Monday. Our English class wrote a better speech week play and Render Braswell received Junior first Wit—Translating honor. French Margaret F.—The old man's head was encircled with white horses (with white hair). Reading Cicero— Robert F.—Because we are born without sense. (Feeling). History— Miss K.—What king was ruling in England when Columbus discovered America? ( Robert F.—Queen Elizabeth. NINTH GRADE The past week was better speech week in our school. Seventy-five plays were handed in to our English teacher written by the various pupils. Render Braswell in the tenth t^e grade had the best play. Eva Mask of ninth grade had the second best. The play was put ___ on the stage Friday by pupils of the ninth grade. Our new Latin teacher, Mr. Mooney, •came to our school Monday morning. He is a very good teacher and the joritv of the pupils like him fine. * _ FRESHMEN Did some one say that English was hard? The eighth grade thfhks so some even assert themselves most ve hemently in regard to such. Really though several members of the class did spend forty minutes preparing one English lesson and how they sighed over so much wasted time. Wonder how many authors and poets we will send forth. Speaking of English( though, one morning this week a bright and prom¬ ising young fellow appeared at the door of the eighth grade room and earnestly requested that every in the room would inquire about Mobley’s lost geography book, SEVENTH GRADE Miss Mol)ley’s Section We have been wondering how Tenth grade has stood the rainy er this week as a few drops MARRIAGE BUREAUS IN BERLIN DOING RUSHING BUSINESS Berlin—The numerous matrimonial bureaus of Berlin, where a spouse may be had for the payment of 10 marks registration fee, are doing a rushing business. The advertising columns of “prospects” are being bombarded with the newspapers are being utilized, letters and circulars extolling advan¬ tages and virtues of the several bu¬ reaus are being scattered broadcast. The marriage literature makes its principal appeal to the “home-loving instinct” of men, who are in much greatest demand in the marriage mar¬ ket than women. The press agents, however, are not always discriminating or discreet in the selections of ‘‘‘eligible males.” One bu¬ reau sent a letter to a married man with a large family urging him to “marry happily; don’t select your ac¬ quaintances at random from the street; send us your photograph and 10 marks and' we’ll find you a good wife.” The man became very indignant and wrote a scornful letter about it to his favorite newspaper. Most of the marriages arranged through the matrimonial bureaus are of women more or less advanced in years, and of doubtful physical attrac¬ tion but with substantial bank ac¬ counts, and young men out of work or weary of working, said the agent of a bureau. The financial arrangements are agreed upon before the marriage. One young man Who accepted a much older woman as wife after she had as¬ sured him she had money to support them, brought suit for divorce alleging he had been deceived and that the wo¬ man really had very little money. The woman admitted she had misrepre¬ sented' her income declared she felt jus¬ tified because of the lonely life she had been living, with no opportunity to be¬ come acquainted with marriageable men. People wTio have been helped by Tanlac are always anxious and w-illing to tell others about it. Sold in Coving¬ ton by City Pharmacy and by leading druggists everywhere. A FOOLISH BANKER There lived a man in a prosperous community who organized a banking house where all his fellow townsmen, friends and acquaintances throughout the whole country side came and de¬ posited their earnings. The season was prosperous and the banker had a corps of efficient bookkeepers, cash¬ iers, clerks, etc. As the days passed, however, the time came when crops were not So good, the prices lower, and trade in general was on the de¬ cline. What did the banker do? Since the individual deposits were fewer in number and smaller in quantity he undertook to economize by discharg¬ ing all of his high priced and efficient help. This led to the keeping of in correct records which in turn gave one or two cheap dishonest? employees an opportunity to take the funds of the institution and, as they thought, cover up their deeds of theft. Finally, however, the day arrived for the regular inspection* of the bank’s affairs by the State Bank Ex¬ aminer and not until then did the man j ager of this institution realize the folly of his short sighted policy of economy. The whole community be¬ came aroused and excited when the word was passed from lip to ear that the bank was in the hands of the State Bank Examiner. The final out¬ come was the loss of thousands of dol¬ lars which the depositors had placed there for safekeeping. There is another asset which is just as important as bank deposits and which we are so frequently guilty of foolishly -wasting. HEALTH. Sometimes we do not protect our bodies from the ravages of many con¬ ditions which are known to be pre- i ventable. This is due to one or more ' of the following causes: (1) lack of i knowledge on the subject. (2) indif¬ ference. (3) indolence. (4) financial inability. Discussing each of these causes briefly it can be said. (1) that your county board of health and your state board o fhealth will be glad to furnish you with information along the line of the prevention of many diseases, (2) Indifference is really inexcusable", and goes in hand with (3) laziness. If the business men of our country were as indifferent and inactive a bom. above causes such “scramhling anions' them.

We hope to have few days. The Thanksgiving season is upon us again and we find many things toi which we can be truly thankful. The holiday on Thursday will be spent by our class in different ways. Some will go to the football game in Atlanta, some will go hunting while others are planning to remain at home add eat turkey with their families. The boys laughed heartily when several girls announced their intention of going hunting. Why not, they are just as good sports as our boys and play most any game the boys play. Our teacher has been posting our best papers in writing so we are all taking more interest than ever. Next week we will tell you more about our Thanksgiving holiday. JESSE PERRY. SEVENTH GRADE Miss Huson’s Section Our room has been busy this week drawing the maps of France and Spain with which we are going to add to the rest of our map folders. We are glad to see two of our mem¬ bers back again after several days of absence. After three rainy days in succession we soon hope to have better weather. SIXTH GRADE The Pilgrims set apart a day of Thanksgiving immediately after their first scant harvest in 1621. Shall we be down hearted? We have beautiful crops, national peace, civil and religi¬ ous liberty, comfortable homes and good schools. The Liberty Society gave an interest¬ ing program of Thanksgiving on last Wednesday afternon. We were so glad to have the mothers present and hope they will come again. FIFTH GRADE Fifteen pupils received stars for hav *** during the month of No\embei. Pupils of the Fifth grade will give a Thanksgiving program. FIFTH*AND SIXTH OVERFLOW Our room is busy “slaying demons.’’ The demons are the one hundred most commonly misspelled words. We are glad to welcome in our room Cecil and Loyd Hays from Mansfield. FOURTH GRADE ^ Miss Gary’s Section We had a match between the girls and boys fn hygiene. The boys won with a score of eleven to five. The Boy Scouts are very busy with their work building benches on the school yard. A few members of the Parent-Teach¬ ers’ Association visited our room Wed¬ nesday. • FOURTH GRADE Miss Tanner’s Section The following description of Nell Mitcham was the best from the Fourth class for the first week’s work in com¬ position writing: "Our dog Joe is a fine pointer, with a most regularly speckled coat of ; "’hjte and ears and are black. dark Around spots, one which of his eyes ! causes ! to 1°°** lopsided, so that he is i known for this peculiarity, * have known him from a small pup j PY Rill an of p play he is still in as his mischievous days. and as puppy When his master is preparing to go hunting he is always ready and anxi ous to be off with him, and he is very restless until he can get started on the hunt for birds. As he is a pointer he holds his tail erect, you know, when he finds the birds. THIRD GRADE There has been a good deal of rivaltty in the Third grade the past week in the multiplication matches between the boys and girls. This has been part of our review in arithmetic preparing for test. While reviewing the lesson in geogra phy about fibers and meaning we have studied the picture “The Spinner” by Nichalas Maas. NEWSPAPER WRECKED FOLLOWING ELECTION Indiana Harbor, Ind—The entire me chanical equipment of the Twin City Sentinel, valued at $25,000, was wreck ed by four masked men early Thursday as the aftermath of Wednesday’s bitter ly contested election at East Chicago, Indiana. Frank Callahan, independent, was elected mayor. The Sentinel supported John K. Reppa, republican. Major A. Pelton, of the Indiana Na¬ tional Guard, had been stationed Indiana Harbor to preserve order, fol¬ lowing an appeal to Reppa.

(4) Financial inability is not always real, but is more often only imaginary. There is certainly no question but that the American people lavished large sums of money on many useless luxuries during the World War, and also for nearly 2 years thereafter, but it is sad to contemplate the fact that practical ly none of this “easy money” was spent for the purpose of bettering health conditions. A man could say to himself, “If I get sick I can get a physician because I have the money with which to pay him and money will claim his prompt-arid efficient atten¬ tion.” But how is it today? often no money for the actual necessities of life. Suppose sickness invades the home, where is the doctor who wants to furnish gasoline, oil, tires, automobile upkeep, medicines, etc., when there is no prespect of pay? During this period is it wise to neg¬ lect our physical well-being? As a matter of fact wouldn’t it be good business to spend more time, thought, and effort to protect ourselves and our communities from physical bank¬ ruptcy? Would it not be well to have the Ellis Health law adopted in this coun¬ ty that we and our children might have the protection this law offers. INSTITUTE-CLINIC WELL ATTENDED Announcement was made in this paper recently of an Institute-Clinic to be held by Emory University on venereal diseases. This Institute has been held with what we consider wonderful success, one hundred and forty-five physicians in altendance, coming from seventy-one counties, every section of the state being repre¬ sented. • The student body passed resolutions thanking the University for the oppor¬ tunity of attending and expressing their thanks for the instruction given, also asking that the Institute be given’ again next year. There is no way of estimating the good that this Institute was to our State; this we do know, that each pbi' sician who attended was well paid for his time and that this community will receive from him more expert service than previously, and that if it should be repeated next year, our phy¬ sicians should attend in greater num¬ bers.

When I see an act of kindness I am eager to be kind; When a weaker brother stumbles and a stronger brother stays behind Just to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in me To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be. And all travellers can witness that the best of guides today Is not the one that tells them but the one that shows the way. “One good man teaches many men be¬ lieve what they behold; One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told, Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear. For right living speaks a language that to every one is clear. Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say: I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day.” » —Sheeted. DEMAND FOR LUMBER GOOD The demand for lumber continues strong. The lumber industry, broadly speaking, has made a very substantial recovery from the depression of the early part of the year. As illustrating this fact the American Lumberman pints out that production for Septem¬ ber was practically equal to the aver¬ age production for that month for the last ten years. Lumber shipments, however, were approximately 7 per cent greater during this month than for the average of the ten years while orders booked for September, 1921, Got Hid of ^ Constipation Constipation is the fore¬ runner of 85% of all human ills.

Railroad buying is also on the increase and the railroads seem to be willing to pay much better prices than earlier in the year. Some of the material is for repair work, but much of it is for new construction. For example, the Chica¬ go, Milkaukee & St, Paul railroad has placed an order for 2,200 box vare of the composite type, having steel under¬ framing and Douglas fir decking and siding. Railroad material is scarce and therefore the railroads are forced to compete for the material they need. Prices generally have shown little change this week. They continue firm, with here and there an advance, tho on the whole the tone of tin- market indi cates that the prieg “Sr situation is more stable than it has.rli >een for several weeks.
