SPECIAL SCHOOL
ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the lack of room at the up
town grammar school building, we are
forced to have a DOUBLE SESSION for
the FIRST, SECOND and THIRD
grades, until at such time when we can
complete a new building to house the ov
erflow which has occurred in our lower
grades.
This means that the TOWN children
in these grades will come to school at 8
o'clock and stay until 11:30 or 12 o’clock
and the RURAL children (bus) will
come at 11:30 and stay until 3 o’clock.
The above is a necessity, and cannot
be avoided. I hope the parents will un
derstand our situation and, will work
with us on the above until such time as
we can have another building, which will
be in the very near future.
School will open on Sept. 1, and at
this time all pupils will report. On the
following Monday, Sept. 4, we will go
into the above DOUBLE SESSION.

NO STOCKINGS, NO. SHOES!
NEWARK, N. J. —Henceforth, stock
ingless women cannot be fitted with shoes,

skin infections —athlete’s foot, for ex
ample,” through the practice.
POSTAL SURPLUS.
An operating postal surplus of $lO,-
000.000 for the fiscal year which ended
June 30, is reported by Postmaster-Gen
eral Farley. Total revenues of the post
office department was $745,042,350, the
highest for any year in the history of
the service.
GUARDIAN GONE.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. —Tired and
sleepy after seeing the sights of the big
city. Edward McPherson, 25, of Nobles
ville, walked to a park. A man whom he
had met on a street corner, whose name
was “Doc,” told him to take a nap and
he would guard him. When McPherson
awoke. Doc was gone and $29 he had in
his pocket was gone, too.
FOLLOW “RULE OF 3”
For The Relief Os
CONSTIPATION
AND ATTENDANT ILLS SUCH AS
Headache Sour Stomach
Biliousness and Poor Appetite
Our bodies often demand more than
merely a simple laxative for the relief
of such discomforts—they demand the
“triple-action” of the “rule of 3”—(1)
stimulation of the flow and production
of bile, (2) improvement of appetite,
and (3) inducement of mild, gentle
bowel movements.
Famous Sargon Soft Mass Pills pro
vide this “triple-action,” that’s why
you should try them at once if you’re
suffering from headaches, sour stom
ach, biliousness, coated tongue, poor
appetite or sluggishness due to tempo
rary constipation.
Here’s how they will work for you:
they stimulate the flow of bile by ac
tion on bile-producing cells—this bile
emulsifies fats necessary to the diges
tion of such foods; the stomachic prop
erty increases appetite thereby aiding
in creation of additional energy, and
the laxative content induces gentle,
effective bowel movements.
So try Sargon Soft Mass Pills with
out delay. See for yourself how they
relieve these discomforts and make
you feel much better. Sold by McGin
nis Drug Company.

LOOKING AT WASHINGTON
MAYORS FOR RELIEF.
WARN CONGRESSMEN.
F. D. R. AND FARLEY.
THE HATCH BILL.
THE KELLOGG PACT.
UNDECLARED WARS.
WATCHING THE JAPS
A SAMPLE CENSUS.
The United States Conference of may
ors, in a report sent to each member of
the house and senate, declares that the
whole WPA program will “collapse” un
less congress appropriates additional
funds and modifies the requirement that
local governments assume 25 per cent, of
the costs of projects by the end of this
year.
The Mayors’ association has been vig
orous in urging large appropriations for
relief. The chief executives of some of the
largest cities in the nation assert that
the relief quotas are too small and that
jnany, eligible for work relief, cannot
get jobs. The cities, they explain, are
unable to take care of the unemployed
or to provide the 25 per cent, of the cost
of projects, as required under the recent
ly enacted measure. The mayors, it is
understood, did not ask for abandonment
of the stipulation that all WPA employes
work 130 hours a month for their secur
ity pay.
It is easy to understand the interest
of the mayors in relief apprepriations.
In large cities, unemployed constitute a
serious problem. If the federal govern
ment provides adequate appropriations
to give them employment, the city offi
cials are relieved of a threatening prob
lem. Not only will they face the neces
sity of taking some steps to provide food
for the unemployed, but they do not rel
ish the idea of having thousands of dis
gruntled inhabitants within their boun
daries. Faced with the alternative of
bearing the expense of relief or of ap
pealing to the federal government, it is
easy to understand the fervid appeals
made by the mayors.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster-
General James A. Farley held a much
publicized conference at Hyde Park last
week, but when the parley was over,
there was no news. Persistent reports of
a rift between the two men. said to be
caused by Mr. Farley’s reluctance to sup
port a third term and his alleged politi
cal ambitions, have led many to believe
that a break between the president and
his campaign manager is imminent. So
far as surface indications pointed last
week, the relationship between the presi
dent and the postmaster-general remained
cordial and, after the conference, the
chief executive seemed to emphasize that
their discussion on public issues had
been on the same basis as their previous
get-togethers.
The Hatch bill, publicly endorsed by
Vice-President Garner, provides penal
ties varying from fines and imprisonment
to removal from office if those on the
public payroll, except elected officials
and executive policy-makers, are guilty
of the following activities: threats, in
timidations or coercion of voters in a
federal election; interference in such
election; promisee of jobs or other com
pensation as a reward for political aid;
threats to deprive or actual deprivation
of work relief to anyone for political ac
tivity ; discrimination in relief because of
race, creed or color; the disclosure of
relief lists to candidates or their mana
gers ; the use of relief funds or relief
authority to influence voters; activity on
the part of federal employes.

The bill is an aftermath of the charges
in connection with campaigns last year
in certain states and is aimed, many
suspect, ait office-holders who seek to
perpetuate themselves through exercising
control of political activities. Anti-New
Dealers generally supported the measure
which, they believe, might prevent the
president from easily securing control of
the democratic convention.
The Kellogg pact to outlaw war, un
der which many nations renounced war
as an instrument of national policy, was
ten years old last week. When this pact
was effected during the administration
of President Hoover, it was proclaimed
as a great step forward toward world
peace. Actually, it has not worked out.
True enough, it has prevented several
nations from declaring war, because they
had signed a pact to outlaw war, but it
has not kept them from making aggres
sive conquests.
The Japanese, Italian, German and
Russians have carefully avoided any
declarations of war. although they have
participated in considerable fighting since
1929. About all that can be said of the
Kellogg pact today is that it has appar
ently abolished the “declared” war. Na
tions have substituted the “undeclared”
war which seems to have certain advan
tages without the disadvantages which
accompany an outright declaration.
The history of the Kellogg pact dem
onstrates, it seems to us, the impotence
of agreements that are not supported by
force. While the Kellogg pact outlawed
war and the signatory nations renounc
ed it as an instrument of national pol
icy, there is no provision providing any
punishment for nations which violate the
agreement. Consequently, certain nations
have carried out aggressive moves with
impunity and in complete disregard of
their pledged word. The United States is
a party to the Kellogg pact, but it has
no obligation whatever to take any ac
tion to punish nations which violate the
agreement.
News from the Far East causes some
apprehension among officials in the state
department who fear a series of inci
dents involving Americans as well as oth
er foreigners. The agreement signed by
Great Britain and Japan, which is al
ready the subject of dispute in regards
to its meaning, is expected to encourage
the Japanese army in China in its at
tempted regulation of all foreigners. Sev
eral American citiens have already been
man-handled by Japanese soldiers, but
the incidents have been closed by apolo
gies by Japanese officials and, in some
instances, promises to punish those re
sponsible for the affairs.
Just how far the Japanese army will
go in the future is uncertain and this
is what worries the officials in the state
department.

believed, will make possible an analysis

JOYS OF MUSIC, FLOWERS AND
RELIGION.
To One Who Can Neither See Nor Hear.
By FLAVIL HALL.
Recently I visited my four grandchil
dren and their parents, Gardner and Gar
trell Hall, at Tuscumbia, Ala., where
Gardner gives his time as minister to
the interests of a church with near 400
members. It was here that Helen Keller
was born in 1880. Scarlet fever (when
she was 19 months old) left her totally
blind and deaf. She learned to read and
write and use the finger alphabet very
early in life under the teaching of Miss
Anna Sullivan, of Perkins institute of
Boston. Later, she determined to learn
to utter speech with her lips, and bril
liantly succeeded under the tutorship of
Sarah Fuller, of New York. Had such
an accomplishment been predicted of any
one before it was a reality, most people
would have said it could never be be
cause they could not have seen such to
be possible.
In an early century, A. D., some
Christian believers could not see how
some things in the Book of Revelation
(the New Testament Apocalypse) could
come to pass, so thought it should not be
a part of the New Testament canon.
But the things therein are “faithful and
true” and bear every mark of genuine
ness. The prophecies in the Old Testa
ment concerning the birth of the Mes
siah. Immanuel, “God with us,” being
born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14), and par
ents’ cooking and eating their own chil
dren in the destruction of Jerusalem
(Deut. 28), strange and impossible as
they seemed to the human mind, were
fulfilled literally, according to the New
Testament and Josephus. So the things
foretold in John’s Apocalypse will break
forth on the universe with all the dra
matical reality that is born by its flam
ing, soul-awakening words. Bible stu
dents should be careful not to tamper
with Bible statements of prophecy —not
to so figurize, “mysticalize” and “incred
ulousize” that they can mean nothing
tangible, or if they are figuratie not al
low the figure to comport with the re
ality.
Miss Keller says, in holding her hand
on the violin or the “sensitive diaphram
of the radio” her mind "transmutes the
silvery nerve thrills into bird songs and
wind songs, the tripping of tiny streams,
the fluttering of the moth and bee, the
tremulous lisping of leaves.” Her “con
ception of music,” she says, “is built of
association and analogy.” She continues:
“I am extremely sensitive not only of
musical vibrations, but also to the exhal
ation of flowers. Subtly they suggest hu
man attributes. Some flowers are friend
ly, adapting themselves to our modes.
Some flowers have shy spirits that seem
embarrassed when I touch them. My gar
den of flowers is my greatest joy (as to
earthly things). I feel like I am in the
seventh heaven when among the plants.”
But that which should most interest
all in this story is what this marvelous
woman says about the Bible: “My Bible
is always in reach of my hand. It is my
ever-increasing fountain of sun and cour
age. I read it so much-”
Hazel Gertrude Kinseella, from whose
pen I have mainly gathered these jewels
of human interest, said to her, in sub
stance: "It has been commented upon
that you have possibly acquired much of
your lovely command of the English lang
uage through reading the Bible.” She an
swered: “It is more than possible. If we
read the Bible we get all the English we
need —a combination of simplicity and
greatness. We may well read it for style
as well as for our heavenly inspiration.”
Oh, why will needy souls neglect the Bi
ble!
The small building in which Miss Kel
ler was born is well preserved, and the
interest to visitors is enhanced by the
presence of antique furniture and a
broad fireplace. Other buildings of anti
quated appearance are there, one having
been for slaves when such property was
legal. By the scenes there and my knowl
edge of the famous one born there, I am
inspired to compose the following lines:
The Helen Keller birthplace I have seen,
And sacred meditations tend the scene ;
“Let us create in our own image man”;
Our God we praise for this infinite plan.
With eyes to see was Helen Keller born.
Also had hearing in life’s early morn;
But blindness, likewise deafness, her be
fell.
Thus bringing gloom beyond what pen
can tell.
But gracious was the providence of God.
While thro' life’s gloomy path she on
ward trod:
A messenger of mercy to her came.
And life for usefulness and joy to claim.
Communications soon were made with
her.
Glad hope and light within her soul to
stir;
Early to talk could she her fingers use.
And with her pen her helpful thoughts
diffuse.
But soon to talk with lips she was re
solved ;
Wondronsly was this problem also solved !
Angel of mercy?—ves aaother came
To help her onward in the path of fame.
How marvelous is man whom God hath
made!
infamous our bodies to degrade!
For purity and honor Helen sought.
And joy and peace unto her soul it
brought.
