More Pigs Will
Be Distributed
Last week the ‘First National
Bank of Teague advertised in
several of the county papers for
boys and girls who wanted to
buy pigs and enter the pig club.
They sent me a copy of this ad-
vertisement and asked my co-op-
eration in the matter. Our de-
partment is always very willing
to do what we can to further the
interests of ou# boys and girls.
The new plan of distributing
pigs is to buy the pigs from the
boys who received sows from
the banks last spring and then
let these pigs go to other boys
and girls for exactly what the
bank had to pay for them from
the original owner. The bank
will take the boy’s or girl’s note
SUBSCRIPTION 91.0* CM

for this pig and give him or her served.
Friday night, Aug. 24, on the
AJfatson Ranch, better known as
Wilkinson Ranch, a birthday
party was given in honor of Miss
Lola Teer, the accomplished
daughter of Mr-, and Mrs. J. P.
Teer,
The guests began arriving
early in the evening, and when
invited into the parlor were
made to feel at home, so com-
plete ware the surroundings.
The evening was spent in pleas
ant conversation, mingied. with
mirth and song. Special music
was delivered by Miss Myrtle
uauks. Varices gam** were in
dulged in and a jolly good time
was had. After tiring of this
sport, ice cream and cake were
six months in which to pay for
it at six per cent interest. '
who want to make a little money
and at the same time do some-
thing to help our government
feed itself in this great lime of
war. Possibly you wi 1 be able
to do like the little boy who
bought a pig from one of the
banks last spring. This boy
now has ten pigs worth $5 each.
He paid $29 each for his sow and
still has her.
If you are thinking of taking
up this proposition, now is the
time to do it. Apply to the bank
and then send me your name so
that I can enroll you as one of
the members, The nigs will not
likely cost you over $5 to $10
each according to size. The
bank throws open its proposition
to every boy and girl who wants
to do something. Write to them
at once.

County Agent.

Following up the work we undertook last spring
by distributing pigs among the boys of this coun-
ty, which was entered into enthusiastically, and
which we realize has recited in much good, we
have deoided to extend this work by helping these
boys sell their small pigs to other boys who desire
to become members of the Boys’ Pig Club.
We are requesting all boys who have pigs for
sale from the sows handled through the banks to
.will placid them with
other boys, from whom we will accept hotfcs matur-
ing six mouths from their date at 6 per cent per
annum. *
Every energetic and deserving boy in Freestone
county who wishes to aid our food administrator,
Mr. Hoover, in his great undertaking to increase
the meat supply of this country, and at the same
time learn the best and most economical way to
raise pigs as taught by our count; <l«mwafitrator,
can get a pig under this plan. Give us your name
and address and we will assist you in getting a
pig as the pigs are listed with us.

To every boy and girl in Fair-
field the above headlines are of
intense interest. They are won-
dering how they will like the
new teachers and just what they
will be like. They are wondering
what new things will come into
their lives; what they will learn
during the next few months, and
a thousand other things.
And too, many father* and
qjothers are wondering with
them.
There is keen interest and de-
sire on every - band that the
school year shall mean the most
possible. We assure you that
we as teachers come to lay our
lives out in good hard service.
The school shall be our life dur-
ing the months that shall follow.
We are thinking now of the
term “School Efficiency.’’ It
means much. Much from the
standpoint of the teachers, it
means much from the standpoint
of the pupil, it means much from
the iwpupoim of the patrons and
citizens. Efficiency means that
there must be a hearty congen-
ial cooperation on the part of ev-
ery force concerned. Without a
congenial cooperation on the
part of the members of a home
the home is miserable. Without
that hearty fellowship in cooper-
ation the business corporation
go*»« to pieces. Jast so without-
a hearty cooperation of parent,
teacher and pupil, the school is
a failure.
A
every force available will be
| mustered for a great school
year in Fairfield. We want to
><»lievo4hat and we want you to
| believe that, for with our faith
; intact the battle Is half won.
oard ready in every available
ay to put things in readiness
for an efficient beginning.
School is the greatest busi-
world It is the
^ from several stand
First, i* is the greatest
from point of imbibers and then
it is the greatest from the point
of money spent; but greatest of
all it is greatest because of the
raw material with which it deals.
Nothing in the world is worth
more than a boy or girl. 1 know
how some folks think and talk
about them; and too, I know
how you feel about them, espec-
ially if it happens to be your boy
or girl iu question.
Now, if we are entering upon
the duties of the greatest busi-
ness, and I do not believe there
is a single lip in all Fairfield
that will dissent from that point
of view, let’s strike hands as
parents, teacher and citizens to
make it the most efficient busi
ness,
We as teachers want to know
you as patrons and citizens and
we want you to know us. We
want to be your friends and
want y<ju W> lie oar friends. W«
will be intensely busy, but we
will take time to smile and say a
pleasaut “good morning.’’
Our course of study will prac-
tically be the course as laid out
by the State Department of Edu-
cation. It will be adjusted to
suit our local needs and we will
be ready for classification Mon-
day morning at vitae o’clock.
After the regular students are |
classified they will be excused
for the remainder of the day to
building at that time for study.
We shail ask that parents do
not permit the children to come
to the school grounds earlier
than 8:30 in the morning for the
reason that there will be no
teacher on the grounds cfaefore
school hours to supervise their
play.
We shaii be kiuu U» Lave any
and all parents and citizens come
to the chapel exercises Monday
morning.
