and determination is a matter of
which every citizen is proud.
The young man is Jim Samuels.
Jim is a hike, overgrown warm
hearted, good natured boy. He
somewhat resembles the Jim

poetry about. Most of our read-
ers know that Jim Went to war;
Southwest Texas has experien-
ced the awfulest drouth that
ever afflicted any part of our
country. Thousand of cattle
will die of starvation unless out-
side help is given. The farmers
have no feed nor no money to
buy feed. It is not their fault.
They have worked hard, hut the
dry weather ruined them. An
appeal has been made to the
National government to advance
money to these farmers. We
think it ought to he done. The

at the training camp the arches

His officers offered him an honor-

After Christmas the following
change will he made in the Pri-
grade taught bv Miss Benefiield.
The pupils will be put in two
divisions. The first, divison will
attend school only in the after-
noon. It will be necessary to
make exceptions of pupils who
come from the country districts
because they have to come and
go with the school wagons.
The arrangement wil' le much
more satisfactory for all concern-
ed. No recitations will be omitt-
ed as the .morning and afternoon
sessions both will be extended.
No pupils of age will have to be
sent home on account of lack of
room and more personal attention
can be given by the teacher.
This plan is used with good re-
sults by the Hobart, Mt. View
and most of the leading schools
