FREDERICK ROTTERDAM, | HOLLAND. FR1DAT SEPTEMBER 3rd, 1920 (By J. lUgr Ptrkar) Today, oar last day at Rotterdam,! haa been viaiton' day, the native Do tchmen, with their familiaa, and tha Dutch yoong iporta and their yriris, having: swarmed tha ahip since two i O'CIoek (his afternoon, the hour now being six. This, too, has bean a day of apparent rest for tha entire crow, many of whom have taken delight in j acting aa guides for tha viaiton who I have come aboard. This offleo-Pay' Office-haa bean practically deserted j tha entire day; tha only material dif ference between this day aad practally all others being tha fact that it is ? great relief to the mind in knowing i that it is not neceaaary to act tha part| of tha Christian Scientist; that is, we know we are not working and at the aame time are not trying to fool o?r [ selves into the belief that we ar? fit < work. T I'M FiMtnci amvea in in j?? on Monday evening last, docking at >ix O'cock. Shore liberty waa given to the crew qn the first night, and about four hundred sailors took advantage of the opportunity, among them being I the writer. The flrst night'* impres sion of this city was not at all favor able and the first impression has lin gered with many even to the last day, many leaving here with disgust writ i ten boldly on their facea. However, a visit by day, en Tuesday, created an < entirely imprsssion upon the writer, i who finds that the Dutch are far mors refined, a more cultured people, and a more cultured people, and a more prosperous folk than any people yet come in contact with on the trip. They j have profited materially by the war, and have none of the scars left with | other nationa visited. And, too, they are modern-their homes, places of | business, and every phase of their lief impresses this fact upon the cloee ob server. They are American like to a ' great extent. "* Yesterday afternoon, a party of sa ilors (the writer included) visited ths Hague; taking a look atxthe Queen's Palace, and the Hague Peace Palace, both of whivh are in themselves in teresting for their historical signifl ance. The Hague is another beauti ful Dutch city and is even more mod ern, and a cleaniner town than Rotter dam. Just out of the Hague is the ; great summer resort of the Nether- [ lands, Scheyeningen. Here one at once recalls to his mind the great; summer reeorta la Xm erica, and there is a striking resemblance. This is a ! beautifttl place, overlooking the North Sea. The boardwalk is about two milee in length and the beach is del ightful^ but fer its chilliness. Thar* are bath houaee, rolling chair, drink ing booths, snd handsome piers along the beach; while up on the hill over looking the ewater for a solid mil there sre many beautiful hotels, villas and shops of varioua kinds. This re sort strikes the writer as the choiceat place yet seen on the cruise of (Europ ean waters and tea ports, not exclud ing Paris. ? : The Frederick sails In the m .rnlng * ?t two o'clock, returning to Antwerp, Belgium, where about >ix more days will be ipent before setting sail for United States. The ship will probably reach the New York harbor about the 23rd of September, from which place the Reserves will be sent home to civilian life. While in Rotterdam, officer* and crew have helped celebrate the birth day of the Queen; and have also sent an official party ashore to take part in the festivities in connection with the anniversary of the going of the Pil grim Fathers. These two events were the direct caose of the short stay hert and the celebrations were too fall of interesting events to begin to des cribe in this brief article. SAINT PAUL MAN GAINS 20 POUNDS CARLSON ALSO GETS RIO OF , THIRTY-FIVE YEARS' TRO UBLE WITH RHEUMATISM. "By taUaf Taalao I have k_ twenty pound* and gotten rid of rhe matiam that had troubled me for thir ty-five years." (aid J. W. Carieaon, v_, 66 Pheian Creek (treat, St Paul, Mian. "I am now aiaty years old," he continued, "and had auffered ever lince I was a young manoftwenty-flve. Daring that tiraa I had the vary bast of treatment and triad many differ ent kinds of medicine, but got no per manent relief until I found Tanlac. I was in each had shape last year that I was laid up for three months. I also ad stomach trouble so bad that every thing I ate caused me to bloat with pu and raffar for hours afterwards, aften I had raging headache and waa to narvoua I could never get much ileep. Finally I gav^ up entirely and never expected to be any batter, bat 1 began taking Tanlac and the way it knocked that rheumatUm oat was lim ply wonderful, and I haven't a sign of it left. "My stmacb trouble, too, has left me entirley I eat three big meals ?vary day, for I am Hungary all the time and never have the least bit of indigestion.

McKeel, Mgrs. ~~T~ I ~ ^mmmr An Accredited High School at Ahoskie The Ahoskie HigM School opened Monday morning of last week with a larger number of pupla and' with a larger number of teachers than ever before, and with prospect* for a most successful year. The school haa, suffered immenaly of recent years because of crowded grades and an inufficiency of teach ing force. Within the last two mon ths the auditorium of the' old build ing has been partitioned and convert-* ed into class rooms. Three addition al teachers have been added to. the faculty this term, making a teacher 1 for each grade up to and including the eleventh. There are approxim ately 300 pupils enrolled.' Seventy five of thse are in th? High. School Department. The Board of Trustees are highly elated over the general standard of efficiency of the teachers employed, practically all of them being College graduates with, some experience in teaching and specialised in their par ticular grades or subjects. Up to this good year of 1920, Hert ford County has. been highly favored with material prosperity and some ach esvements have been attained educa tionally but. not a single accredited high school haa been establ is Had with in her boundaries to serve the lCr 275 inhabitaata, and of which practi cally 40 par cant are of school aca. Is it not the unanimous desire of tte thinking citizenship of Hertford Co unty, that within the reach of every boy and girl born and reared witiria her borders, an accredited high school shall be maintained, ingiting thm to prepare for larger fields of achieve ment and of service? Than, if aach schools are needed and desired why not have them? ? . Ahoakie being the largest town in the county it is antnral that her sch ool should be the first to be raiaed )g the accredited liat of high.' achooh, and thia, beginning with the piwato aeaaion, ahe is endeavoring! to do. Backed by the co-operation and sup port of the local! Board of Truetsas. the County Superintendent, and Cona ty Board of Education, succeaa awai ts thia highly needed undertaking and prosperity awaita the outcome. - An educated citizenship ia the beat. Hertford County needa the beat at* tizenahip. Therefore, let ua educate. Reapectfully aubmittad, L.C. WILLIAMS. COLERAIN NEWS. ??? j Mr. H. 8. Buni?ht of Ahotkie wn ! In tow? but Tuesday.
