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. FRANK G. DILLARD. Supt. NO STOCKINGS, NO. SHOES!

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. 7 ° v e* Cr - S j CROWN BOTTLING CO.

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 SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1939 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. On Aug. 15 the census bureau will un dertake a special census in St. Joseph and Marshall counties, Indiana, in order to test the preparations for the national census next year.

These figures, it is believed, will make possible an analysis of the national income and the economic condition of the people and provide in formation that will be helpful in solving the political, economic and social prob ems of the present time. is now working on a story entitled “Jack the Ripper” . . .

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. SUBLIGNA HOME-COMING.
