could easily have gone up with her

quiet, restful evening, should she he*

However, sin* did want her string
wound over those rusty naifs in the
window ledge above and, as her vines
began t<> plead desperately for support.
Susie determined to tind a way of
giving it to them.
She decided to tie a string to the
po’e, and hoist it to the window above.
She realised that her act was u trifle
unconventional, but Icr vines were
perfectly conventional vines and need
ed support just as any vines need it.
So she scribbled a few lines on a bit
of paper and lied the note to the end
of l.er flagpole. When she* heard foot*

lier pole outside and hoisted it, after
having tied a ball of twine to tin* note.
Susie* called up a soft “Thank you.

had been tied and the ball entne tum

request to tie tin* siting for the tiny
burden to climb on.
Vacation time arrived for Susie. She
worried about the e*are of her little
garden and realized that she* would
have to lie at the mercy of Hod’s good
rain Just like nil farmers If her gar
den was to remain green.

We do not believe there i.s a sch.ol
n tlie* county that tan show more pro-
,resr. in reading, writing, arithmetic
nd -pilling than the Cooperville
vchool. Eac h m; nth tests were given,
that the teachers might know exactly
.uat the children were doing and
.that their main difficulties were,

All the children with few ex cep-

Our attendance has ranged be-

Fifteen peach trees, eight rose bushes j

On each side* of the building we

All the scrub bushes and weeds have |
been cut down and turned or placed ;
in washes.
Our Interior improvements ere:
window curtains, window panes,

For each of the following days we
have had an appropriate program:
Armistic* Day, Thanksgiving, Christ,

ed by a big °gg-liunt.
Thirty new hooks have born added
to the library, and have been circulat-1

Last, but not lea. t, we want to t?ll j
you how we purchased cur piano. We 1
bought the instrument from a Mil l
h*dgeville music house and the teach-!
ora signed the note. Hy giving on j
tertainments, we have met our last
payment. Our entertainments have
all been very successful. We have
staged three plays and a vaudeville.
Our closslng feature* will be a min

It will nut be long before the camp
ing fever and fishing fever will got s
strong hold on the people. It is a
danger period; camps have no sanita
tion as 11 rule, to look for typhoid,
diarrhea'and dysentery. Where Usher*

plentiful and you may get malaria It
nn infected mosquito bites you.
THOUSANDS SAVED
Thousands of dollars and many lives
have been saved our people by the I
Venereal Diseaso Control Division ol
the State Board of Health. This work
should not be allowed to cease or even
lag.
Thousands upon thousands have
boon treated and made non-infectlous.
Thousands of Wussormann tests have
been made free of cost to the people.
TYPHOID FEVER
The ..eason of the year for typhoid
fever is soon to begin. Why not
avoid tills dreadful dice.-me by clean
ing up, excluding tlu* file4 and vac-
ciuatiun. Tlu* State Board of Health j
furnishes typhoid vacciue free of
charge. You should take this precau
tion now. The immunity is supposed |
to l ist two or three years.
Raise 1 K-ntv of food stuff for man
and beast. Keep the farm clean,
ditches and ponds drained, filth clean
ed up. well or cistern in good shape
and laugh at the low price of cotton
and the boll weevil; it you stay well
It will all work out right. Health is
the main thing; spend money to keep
well and see that your 1 ity, county
and stall* do their shur#*. I’uMtc health I
is a public prnblea.; the >fote should
