If.
if you were busy being kind
before you knew it you would find'
you'd soon forget to think ’twas true
Tliat someone was unkind to you.
If you were busy being glad,
Ami cheering people who are sad
Although your heart might ache a bit,
You'd soon f:rget to notice it.
If you were busy being good,
And doing the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some

Who's doing the best he can.
If you were busy being true.
In what you ought to dfo

The blunders of the folks you’ve

If you were busy being right,
You’d find yourself too busy, quite,
To criticise your neighbor long
Because he’s busy being wrong.

Christmas Boxes For Over
seas Soldiers.
At first it was thought that no
Christmas packages could be sent to
the Boldiers who are serving abroad,
but (ienerai Pershing has decided that
each man will be allowed one package
from home. There are very strict
riles regarding the sending of these
boxes, that must be strictly followed
by the sender and although these rules
have been published several times in
case they have been overlooked the
instructions for mailing parcels are:
Stringent Rules.
Only one package may be sent to
each man. enclosed in a standard car
ton furnished by the local Red Cross.
No parcels may be mailed after No
vember 15, 1 til 8.
The label issued to the man over
seas by the army authorities and for-
warded by him to some relative or
friend in this country will entitle the
holder fo apply to the local Red Cross
organization for one carton.
The cartons must be packed by the
relative- or friends and delivered un
wrapped and unlabeled to the Red
Cross toi lie weighed, inspected, wrap
ped. labeled and delivered to the post-
tfilce.
N'o package may yeigli more than
three pounds.
No written message may be enclos

“Spirits of the departed dead
Through these dark places 'you've
been led
To see a sight this gruesome night
That’ 11 make your dry benes rattle.
What, I say, with your sightless eyes,
These human things as they writhe
and try
To escape our playful antics?
But I warn them now to submissively
bow ,
To the command of the Hallowe’en
Spirit.
Obey their will—or they’ll work you ill
For you are but a mere mortal
And these sprites this night will have
their right.
Be it by means fair or foul
So list as ye will, but sit ever so still
If you’d see our pranks to a finish,
And when something is done that a
sprite thinks fun
Then hoot and howl like the horned
owl
That sits in the crotch stormy nights
Or moan and sigh like the wind pass
ing by
When it’s burdened with human sor
rows.
But if you’re asked to do a stunt.
Do not hide and groan and grunt;
Get up and try—else you may die!
If yon fail a curse or something worse
Will most assuredly befall you
For Hell Is empty
And! all the Devils fre» herfe.”
A long line of witches silently came
into view fcnd around the furious
flames did a most spectacular dance
—rendered especially effective by its
striking silhouette against the lurid,
leaping light. Then Miss Sue My-
rick’s spooky story—about some money
that was stolen off a dead woman's
eyes—Ooooch!—; a twonderful feat
of hypnotism; a living Bluebeard
dragging his beautiful wives by their
hair, a series of orders left by the
Hallowe’en Spirit to be carried out
by the faculty, and lastly a pantomime
playlet "Kaiser Bill's Hallowe’en
Dream,” or "What the Hallowe’en
Spirits would do to Kaiser Bill.”
Each guest was served a bag of
peanuts, apples and candy.

Junior Red Cross Doing Splen
did Work.
In "rder that the people of MiU-
edgevllle may know what the Junior
Red Cross of the Training School is
doing, we hope to publish an account
of our work each week. At present
we have in each grade a membership
of nearly 100 per cent and in each
grade is a very attractive poster on
which are the names of its members.
The first thing done by our Red
Cr'ss this term was to send five boxes,
three large and two small ones, of
clothes to the little French children.
Every grade in school contributed and
we sent more than 500 garments.
All the grades have set aside two
periods a week, one for Red Cross
Educative work and the other for
Red Cross service work. Already
much lias been time along the for
mer line. Great plans are in store
for the latter and the fourth and fifth
grades have begun to quilt to send to
some soldier boy. ....
The seventh grade has contributed
six glasses of Jelly, one quart peach
pickle and one pint of preserves to be
sent to the soldiers.
The sixth grade entertained us all
in chapel one morning last week wth ran
a beautiful little patriotic play, which'
we thoroughly enjoyed.
The biggest thing we have done is
to adopt French twins to support and
our bank book shows thut we have do-
posited more than $80.00 toward this
fund. The fourth and fifth grades
made their money by selling salchets
which they made and by picking cot
ton,. The am tints contributed by the
different grades is as follows;
First grade, $-».Gij second grade,
$•’75; third grade, $8.til; fourth grade,
$11.17; fifth grade, $10.01; sixth grade,
$8.50; seventh grade, $8.11; eighth
grade, $9.87; ninth grade. $8.28; tenth
grade. $13.52.

Hallowe’en Party For Young
Set.
Perhaps the most enjoyable social
affair of tho^past week for the young
set was the Hallowe’en party given
Friday evening by Mrs. C. P. Schell
for her young son, Charles Schell.
About 7 o’clock the weird looking
figures dTaped in white began to ar
rive and one by one they assembled
in the “play house’’ oOhe young host,
which was grotesquely decorated with
jack o’ lanterns and all kinds of
creeping things..
After playing many games the ghosts
enjoyed eating peanuts and popcorn
while listening /to the witch’s sad
story.

Methodist S. S. Class Enter
tained.
The Hallowe’en supper given by
Mrs. Dixon Williams to the members
of her Sunday School class, which is
composed of young men from the cadet
corps, was one of the brightest and
most interesting affairs cf the Hal
lowe'en season.
The young men were entertained
Friday evening with a barbecue, sup
per, the tah|e decorations and all the
details of the occasion being suggest
ive of the nisht when witches and hob

(By One Who Wae There.)
On last Friday evening Union Point
Community Club had planned to pre
sent a service f, ag to their communi
ty Dr. M. M. Parks was to have been
the orator of the occasion and quite a
n ! ec program had been urranged but
the "rains came and the floods de
scended” so no one could attend. How
ever Divine Provdence must have had
i part In this program, for on Sun
day afternoon last Dr. Parks was
passing our tchool building, heard
music and came In. We were having
Sunday School and he gave us a splen
did talk.
Immediately after Sunday school we
decided that this was the time, place
and we lnd the crator, and we must
not put oft a thing that should have
been done some time ago.
So the flag was presented in a very
impressive manner.
The song "America” was followed
by short talks from the relatives and
friends of the boys telling where they
were, etc. "Keep the Home Fires
Burning” was sung by-»the school
children. Then came a most master-
fiil address by Dr. Parks in which he
paid a beautiful tribute to our brave
boys who have heard and' answered
their country’s call. In an Interesting
and vivid manner Dr. Parks reveiwed
h story, both past nnd present, be
ginning withe Frederick the Great,
sh''wi;’g how the Lords of Germany
have always had an ambition to rule
tbe world, how they had stolen lands
from other countries and disregarded
treaties. On through the Civil War
ho led uur Imagination. In the pres
ent war, Dr. Parks said that this same
desire for world domination actuated
Germany’s horrible deeds in Belgium
and France. Had it not been for Bel
gium’s two weeks brave fight, the
ca me would have been lost before
France was ready. Had It not been
for England’s navy the cause would
have hoen lost, and lastly, when the
cause seemed lost, our own American
boys with shoulders erect, minds and
hearts courageous, the bravest and
best of them all, turned the tide at
Chateau Thierry, and now the Allied
nations are marching on to victory.
The whole showed deep thought and
study and was greatly appreciated by
the audience.
The flag was then presented in a
few words by Mrs. H. P. Tucker, pres
ident of the club, and accepted by
Miss Stevenson in behalf of the moth
ers and fathers of the boys and the
community.
('no verse of "God Save Our Splen
did Men,” and the benediction con
cluded the program.
