STRAIGHT SHOOTING
Americana may well take
pr.de la the straight shooQug
of tlie m&rkamen of th<j national
guard and the regular army which
ha« been shown it the annual tour
nament# at Camp Ferry, seagirt
and other ranges, says the Cleveland
Leader. The acor*a are very cred
itable thift year to numerous rifle
men. They come from many states
and all arms of the service.
In the light of the news from
Europe it need hardly be said that
an inefficient soldier ia a farce
when he Is not a tragedy. As long
as men must be trained for fighting
It is silly and futile not to have
them well trained. It is impossible
now for any intelligent reader ot
the dispatches from the battle-torn
countries where great armies are
Mtrusjjling to believe that effective
fighting forces can be improvised
anywhere. It takes too long to
teach skill in the U6e •< modern
weapons.
The better the citizen soldiers of
thifl republic shoot the more they
ran he depended upon in time of
need. Their marksmanship is a
vit^i part of tbeir fitneas for any
emergency.
Teachers' Homes Great
Need of Rural
Life
By Mr». PERCY V. PENNYBACKER,
President Ceuerel Federation
Women1* Club
AS a country we are almost unit
ed upon the fact that the
great question facing us is
the betterment of rural life. It is
not enough for our rural people to
produce more in the fruits of the
field. THEY MUST HATE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE MORE
If we, the million women in this
federation, would concentrate for
the next two years in an effort to
bring about a model settlement and
especially to establish teachers'
homes, or tencherages, a3 they are
called, in connection with at least
one school building in each county
we would be serving the entire na
tion.
THE DAY WILL COME WHEN A
POET WILL ARI8E TO SING THE
VIRTUES AND UNSELFISH SERV
ICE OF THE COUNTRY TEACHER.
IF THE SCHOOL 18 TO BE THE
REAL CENTER OF THE BEST SO
CIAL LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY
IT MUST BE PRESIDED OVER BY
A TEACHER WHO HAS, AT LEAST,
SOME DEGREE OF PERMANENCY.
NOTHING WILL 800NER GIVE
THI8 PERMANENCY THAN A COM
FORTABLE HOUSE. WITH A PLOT
OF GROUND, WHERE THE TEACH
ER CAN HAVE A SETTLED FEEL
ING.

Well, for the Information of thousands of

means, a destroyer or killer of "Herpes,"
Now "Herpes" is the family name of a
disease caused by various vegetable par
asites. A similar microbe causes dan

is the microbe that N'EWBRO'S HERPI
