Won’t you help us make this

For the past several years the
per cent of attendance in the
schools of Kiowa county has been
about 65 to 75 per cent for the
entire term taught during the
entire year. These figures are
based on the complete enrollment
for the fiscal school years. For
the last two years the attendance
has averaged about 64.8. This
represents a great loss to the
county viewed from an educa-
tional standpoint, the outlay for
teachers and equipment repre-
sents the same amount of money
required foi an attendance ot 100
per cent.
This year especial emphasis is
being laid on perfect attendance
in the schools with a view to
bettering conditions in this re-
spect. Letters have been ad-
dressed to all school boards
calling attention to the compul-
sory achool law and the attorney
general’s ruling to the effect that
it is the duty of the cltild to at-
tend the first 66 per cent of the
school term. Teachers have also
had existing condition called to
their minds and are cooperating
for a more perfect attendance.
All monthly reports in my
office for the present year have
been carefully gone over and the
result shows that the average at
tendance is 87 per cent. This
is indeed gratifving and should
this record be maintained until
until the end of the vear, a very
long satisfactory conditions
would obtain. Therefore at this
time, I want to emphasize the im-
portance of a close co-operation
of the teacher, school boards and
patrons to the end that the chil-
dren may be kept in school con-
tinuously until the end ot the
term.
Among the towns, Gotebo leads
with an average attendance of
96 per cent; Roosevelt second,
94j per cent; Mountain View, 93
per cent.

The remarkable increase in my business for last year showed
that my stock must be enlarged. By “planking down spot
cash" I bought at big discount a $5,000.00 stock at Harrieta,
Oklahoma.
I have leased the brick building formerly occupied by T. E.
Mannen Drug Co. Installing up to date fixtures and com-
bining the two stocks together with big shipments already
arriving from the wholesale markets will make this the
BEST place in this section of the country to buy

Take Lee Died Wednesday
Yake Lee, the Chinese laundry-
man who has been with the town
for sixteen years, died suddenly
Wednesday afternoon at his
place of business on East Main
street.
Yake had beeu sick since las*
Friday, but was not thought to
be ser iously ill.
He was an exception among
the average Chinese, being poblic
sp rited and willing to contribute
money lo causes wherein the
town derived benefit. His age
is unknown, but from the be t
iha 1 can be\ learned he is ahon
45 years old. His friend, Sam
Lee of Apache came last Sunday
to visit him and also came yes-
terday to attend the funeral.
Yake was liked by everyone
and in return showed his appre-
ciation by giving a Chinese lily
bulb or other tokens at Christ
mas time to bis friends and cus-
tomers.
