work on Tuesday of last week, the

number of years, advising the board

The board again acted wisely in the

the work of the board.

RURAL SCHOOL.
President of Rural School Im
provement Association, Ap
peals to The Schools to
Organize.
Time is Hying fast, and the pres
ent school terra will soon close. I
had hoped to see all the schools in
the county organize rural school im
provement associations during
this winter. It is not too late yet. If
you do nothing., but elect your offi
cers, and make the organization now,
you will have made a very impor
tant step. There is no fear that this
will be the end of it.
I once read a little hint to house
beepers which has been a great help
to rae in my domestic affaiis. It was
on the value of simply making a
beginning. Do not wait fox a more
favorable opportunity. A pice of
work once begun is almost sure to
be finished some time. Making a be
ginning is half the battle.
Now the same is true as to our
achool improvement. Only make a
beginning, and the way will open
.up to-day. You may not know ex
actly what to do, but once turn
your attention in this direction, and
you will soon find out. You will be
gin reading all you can find on the
subject, and asking questions.
You have all seen the farmers
put up long poles to which martin
gourds are swung. Soon the birds
fly in and build their nests in these
cozy little houses. So if we will put
our minds in receptive^ ?attitude,
thoughts, like these birds will fly
in and multiply. We will soon see
plenty of work to do, and plenty of
ways to do it.
One object of rural school im
provement is to identify the school
more closely with the social life of
the community. Suppose you begin
simply with that. Elect a president,
vice president, secretary and treas
urer. Then say among yourselves.
"Now the first thing, we will give
the neighborhood a good time."
St. Valentine's day is near. Give
a Valentine party. A small sum
charged for the valentines will buy
a pretty picture or call bell for the
school.v If you miss valentine's day
get up something else.
You' may say, "This is a very
small beginning." True, but all
things which grow must have a
small beginning.
Tall trees from little acorns grow,
Great streams from little foun
tains flow."
You see what I want, do you not?
I simply want you to begin.
Mrs. W. J. Gaines.

DEMING'S NEW DISCOVERY
Will Surely Stop That Cough.
Saved Life of Omaha
Theatrical Manager
Adam Bonoff, manager of the
Krug theatre in Omaha, Neb., and
living at 1511 north seventeenth
street, that city, in a statement giv
en for publication says:
I have been a sufferer from
stomach trouble for the past ten
years, and had to avoid pastry, po
tatoes and all starchy food. I was
nervous and restless, rarely ever
getting a good night's sleep. I al
ways awoke with a dull pain in my
stomach, and belched gas frequent
ly. I was constipated all the time.
"I traveled considerably in search
of health, and treated with the best
physicians in New York, Chicago
and Hot Springs without relief, and
finally was compelled to give up my
business, as I thought, for good.
"A friend recommended Cooper's
New Discovery to me. I was desper
ate, and decided to give it a trial.
Am now feeling fine, eating and
sleeping well, without any signs of
stomach trouble, weighing more
than at any other period of my life,
having gained fifteen pounds in a
few weeks' time. It is a duty with
me to recommend Cooper's New
Discovery, for I believe it saved my
life."
We sell Cooper's New Discovery,
the medicine recommended by Mr.
Bonoff. It has a remarkable record,
and has a tremendous sale through
out the country. We will take pleas
ure in explaining its nature to you.
