School Boards and County Superin-
tendents.
The school boards and county
superintendents have grave re-
sponsibilities. In opening the
schools this year they are to
pledge their honor for the boys
and girls whom they serve. They
are entrusted with# this respon-
sibility because the people have
confidence in them and believe
they will strive to help as many
pupils as possible. <
The work of the teachers will
largely depend upon what school
boards and county superintend-
ents do to secure the co-operation
of parents and friends. Teach-
ers will look to the members of
the board for the initiative in
many thing and will depend up-
on their moral support in discip-
line and publicity for the school.
Since the members of the
school board are responsible for
the employment of teachers, for
the welfare, comfort and con-
venience of the pupils they can-
not [afford to neglect anything
that will assist the teachers and
enlist the aid of the parents.
The state expects faithful serv-
ice of school officers. While no
monetary compensation is avail-
able for members of school
boards, they have the satisfac-
tion of helping many worthy
boys and girls and thus give the
state better citizens.—harm and

Train Stops and Crew Rescued Injured
Couple.
Temple, Texas, Oct. 5.—Memo-
ries of the early days in Santa
Fe railroading to the wild west
out of Temple were revived in the
services rendered a couple near
Ballinger, who were in the pre-
dicament of being housed by an
overturned automobile near«the
railroad track.
A train crew in passing noticed
the overturned car and that there
were evidences of somebody im-
prisoned. The train was stop-
ped and the unfortunates re-
leased, both with severe bruises.
In the early days the passen-
ger train making a one-way trip
each day was a general “accom-
modation” train. The crew
would even stop and drive cattle
from fields along the route, where
poor fences had been forced by
marauders on the meager crops.

der the head of “Higher Court-
Proceedings” stating- that the

pense.—Farm and Ranch.

SON HAS A DRESS SENSE
YOU devote great care and much time to the development
of his taste for reading, his tendency to think for him-
self, his perception of what is good and beautiful.
Dressing tastefully is educational. Now is the time for son to
study how to dress suitably—that is with a fine perception of
the refined as opposed to the crass
or vulgar.- His dress habits as
formed now will accompany him
thru life and mark him as a little
gentleman in the community of
good manners.

our fresh stock of new styles

Dp in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—-In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat-
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to de me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got mfe a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com-
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist haa
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

Foodstuffs Spar.
Washington, Oct. 3.—Marked
increase in the cost of living is
shown in the rising tendency of
prices of foodstuffs on Oct. 1, re-
ports of which are just being re-
ceived at the Department of Ag-
riculture from the principal mar-
kets of the country.
With flour selling at prices
higher than at any time since the
Civil War, due principally to the
shortage of the wheat crop this
year, the ooet ot potatoes has
mounted for the same reason.
Meat prices continue to advance,
with prices being paid producers
of meat animals showing almost
24 per cent over what was paid a
year ago. Butter, eggs and
cheese all are selling at higher
prices for this time of the year
than they were last year, and
beans show an increase of more
than 70 per cent over a year ago,
because of the short crop. On-
ions are more than 50 per cent
higher and cabbage more than
40 per cent higher. jf
Prices paid to producers of
farm products increased 9.3 per
cent during August, while dur-
ing the last eight years these
prices have shown a decrease of
about 2,1 per cent during that
month. September began with
the index figures of these prices
21.9 per cent higher than a year
ago.
