Lower School Attendance Where

Census reports show that in 1909
there were 24,000,000 children
in the United States of school
age, but that only 17,500,000 of
i these were enrolled in the public
j schools. This would indicate
I that there are several million

Lew is Motor Company makes both. 6W idea
is to suit the public taste. We are not trying to eram either
down your throat. We want you to try them both, sit in the driver’s
seat, get “the feel of the car,” note carefully the action of the engine,
the brakes and the steering apparatus. You can get the pulse of any
car by doing the driving yourself. And you cant get it any other way.
You ought to know your own
car even if you hire a driver. You ought to
know it before you buy it. That definite process of
acquiring information will often save you a lot of money and worlds
, of trouble. It eliminates all element of risk. .You buy with your eyes
'' open, and you don’t buy through the eyes of somebody else who might
happen to be prejudiced. We believe that anything which costs as
much as an automobile ought to be bought that waj—and no other way.

We are asking prospective cus
tomers to buy Mitchells that way. We are
ask’ g them to drive the car themselves and get what
is k vn as "the feel of the car.” It can’t be gotten by sitting in
the meau or even alongside the driver. The only way to reach
the i , .,e of a car is through the steering wheel. The matter of detail
may V learned afterwards if the car behaves well enough to arouse

tending school on account of bad
roads. Furthermore, many
schools in the country districts
are closed for varying periods on
account of the impassable con
dition of the roads, and many of
the schools which are not closed
factors have a nominal per cent
, age of attendance.
While it is true that various
! factors contribute to increase or
' decrease the attendance at the
schools in given sections of the
country, it is worthy of comment
that in the states having a high
percentage of improved roads,
a much higher percentage of the
students enrolled, regularly at
tend the schools than in the
states having a small percentage
| of improved roads. In five East
ern and Western states which
have a large mileage of improv
ed roads, the average attendance
of enrolled pupils in 1908-9. was
80 per cent; while in four South
ern states and one Northwestern
state which are noted for bad
roads, the average attendance
for the same year was 64 per
.cent— 80 per cent in the good
roads states as against 64 per
cent in the bad roads states. In
the states first named, 35 per
jcent of the roads have been im
proved, while in the latter group
of states only l1/? per cent of
! the roads are improved,
i That improved roads would
benefit our country school sys
Item, there would seem to be no
doubt. -Improved roads make it
possible to consolidate or cen
tralize the schools and establish
graded schools in the rural dis
tricts. Such schools centrally lo
cated will accommodate all the
children within a radius of from
four to five miles. In many
communities having the advant
age of improved roads, commodi
ous buildings have been provid
ed, more competent teachers
1 have been employed, and modern
facilities for teaching have been
j supplied at a minimum cost. For
instance, since the improvement
of the main highways in Dur
ham county, North Carolina, the
number of school houses have
been reduced from 65 to 42, of
which 17 are graded and have
two or more rooms, and employ
4- UTA VV1 AVA too CiY'Cl
There are at the present time
about 2,000 consolidated rural
schools in the Unted States. It
appears Massachusetts, Ohio and
Indiana have made the greatest
progress along these lines, and
it is rather significant to note
that in these states about one
third of the roads have been im
proved. According to statistics
of the Agricultural Department,
there was expended in 1899, $22,
116 in Massachusetts for the
conveyance of pupils to consoli
dated schools, but in 1908 the
i expenditure for this purpose a
| mounted to $292,213. In Indi
; ana, the expenditure for this
purpose in 1904 amounted to
,$86,000, while in 1908, $290,000
I was expended. This expenditure
for transportation reflects, in a
general way, the extent and pro
gress of this new educational
movement. It must not be un
Iderstood that this is an addi
tional burden, as the expenditure
thus made is saved in other di
rections—that is, by the de
crease in the number of schools
and economy in their operation.
In Indiana, Massachusetts, 0
hio and other states, the one
room, one-teacher schools are
being replaced by central school
with a half dozen rooms and as
i many teachers. Wagons are
'sent out every day to gather up
the children and take them home
again in the evening. All of
the children within a radius of
several miles are thus provided
with the most modern school fa
cilities. In some of these schools
courses in manual training, ag
riculture and home economics
have been introduced, scientific
apparatus utilized and teachers
having special qualifications and
training employed.
Propose Power Dams.
Mountain Home, April 15.—C.
C. Burton, who lately was
granted franchises by the Ark
ansas Railroad Commission to
construct water power plants in
the White, Norfork and Buffalo
rivers in this section, is having
preliminary surveys made of the
North Fork.
The first dam will be near the
mouth of Otter creek. Mr. Bur
ton said he would return to
Mountain Homle by the first
week in May and that by the
1st of June he hoped to be able
lo start work.
It is believed the company will
build several dams, constructing
the first one near the mouth of
the river at Otter creek, the
next one at the head of the slack
water caused by this dam and
so on up the river.
Ginners’ Meeting.
The ginners of this county and

and every honest and independ
ent ginner is requested to at
tend this meeting.' Plans are be
ing perfected whereby each gin

and ties direct from the factory
at a much lower price than usu
al. Other plans such as the sale

and detail explanation of the
plans for each ginner receiving
pay for the cotton report as well
as mutual insurance will be ex
plained by the president of the
Ginners’ Association.
Every farmer in this territory
is requested to attend as this
work is directly for thd good of

“Clean Up the Bowels and
Keep Them Clean”
There are many remedies to De
had for constipaflbn, but the diffi
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy tbit
does not perform
b y force what
should be accom
plished by persua
sion is Dr. Miles’
Laxative Tablets.
After using them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
315 Washington
St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
“Almost all my
Ilfs I have been
with constipation, and have
tried many remedies, all of which
seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. I tln.-dly tried I)r. Miles'
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them."
, “Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean,” is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. i !o not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in
i'.:e past. They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial
will convince you.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents
a box containing 25 dose-.. If not
found satisfactory after trial, re
turn the box to your druggist and
he will return your money, 12

f
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, nd 1 decided to try it. I
had rot taken out about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
uied, put together.
My friends began asking me why 1
looked so well, and 1 tola them aboul
Cardui. Several are now taking it."
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache.

feeling?
If so. let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
