Miss Mamie Williams was wel coming hostess upon this delightful occasion. , v Upon arrival of the guests a Joke book, ornamented with jumping Jiggs and mighty Maggie, was presented for a contribution from each toward a humor fun. The collection was varied. Interesting, amusing and brought forth many laughs when the jokes .were later read to assembled .-uests and then - dedicated to the honor guests. A contest of artistic possibilities -.brought forth muchLeffart. from the guests to shape from wax ornamental figures. A contest in which each guest was labeled as a vegetable, given a pen and paper with the object to secure the name of the vegetable from each of the others and also to keep others from procuring their vegetable .synonym. After much scouting and vigilance the prize came to Miss Edith Burweil. The cook book prize was presented Mrs. Boyd with a few well chosen words. Delicious refreshments were serv ed and the afternoon much enjoyed j y tne many nappy to oe present: Mrs. R. B.

Attractive crepe caps were appro priate favors and bedecked with this riot of color and responsive to the spirit of the hour the guests departed with many thanks for the hospitality of' the afternoon. Rat Menace Being Met By Health Bureau Calling attention to the discovery of bubonic plague in several American and Mexican gulf ports, and renewing his warning regarding the introduc- tion of plague trom Mediterranean ports which are known to be enfected, Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming today urged communities throughout the country, and especially along the coast, Xo inaugurate rat-extermination and rat-proofing campaigns. "Bubonic plague is primarily a dis ease of rodents, especially rats", said General Cumming, "and the disease can be controlled effectively by mea ures directed against the trat. The extermination of rats is all the more to be desired because of the tremen dous economic damage they cause." Accoding "to conservative estimates made by the U. S. Public Health Sei vice on the basis of numerous sur veys, there is at least one rat for every person in the United States. This estimate coincides avith that for Great Britain and Ireland, and with authoritive figures for Denmark, France and Germany. The annual' up- keep per rodent was computed by the same authorities as $1.00 in Great Britain, $1.20 -in Denmark, and $1.00 in France. The depredations of the rats in the United States will very probably exceed the estimate for Great Britain." One-half a cent a day is considered conservative, but even on this computation, it costs .the United States $180,000,000 a year to support its rat population. This does not include mice. "The U. S. Public Health Service is prepared to detail trained experts to assist communities in organizing i the fight against rats," said General Cumming. "Many of our officers have j had extensive practical experience in this work, and know how to make it I really effective. In th& seaport cities A the work of extermination should be supplemented by bacteriological laba tory examinations to determine whether or not plague infection is present among the rodents. In the inland cities this is not nOw neces sary."; . The U. S. Public 'Health Service has just published a new bulletin en titled "That 'Rat: Arguments for its Elimination and Methods for its De struction. Copies may be obtained by addressing the U. S.

The Wording Of The 19th Amendment In view of the general interest shown in woman suffrage and the ratification of the proposed 19th amendment to the Federal Constitu tion, and in view of the misconcep tions on which much of the discussion s based, it seems timely and fitting to state the exact wording of the pioposed amendment: Sectional. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State orV account of sex. Section 2. The Congress shall have power by appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of this article. It will be clearly seen that this amendment will not establish the vot ing qualifications for citizens. This wi I be the function of the States, as at present. It will enfranchise negro women on exactly the same terms as negro men are now enfranchised. It will also enfranchise white women on the same terms as white men are now enfranchised. . The proposed amendment, will give he United States no more power to enforce the negro woman's right to vote than the United Stntes now has to enforce the negro man's right to vote.

Number 55" eOflRDHflS7' LIVE: SESSION Much Interest In District Con fusion Between Two Co. Townships VOTERS THOUGHT EACH WOULD GET A DISTRICT Special Ruling From State Su perintendent Brooks Neces sary To Straighten Matter Be tween Fork and Shocco. (By Howard F. Jones) Monday was a busy day with the Board of Education. It was the close of the fiscal year, and in addition there was much interest shown in the establishing of a Special Tax District from parts of Fork and Shocco town ships. It seems that Fork township desired -to establish a Special, district with Inez as its approximate center and a petition was circulated to that effect and was signed by nearly every Free holder in the district. A petition w;? also signed in Shocco adjoing the Fork district. Both petitions were approv ed by the Board, but in the interest of economy one election was held un der an advertisement describing one territory and that territory being part of Fork and part of Shocco forming a District with published metes and bounds. f Fork did not petition for such a district, nor did Shocco, if we under stand the matter right. But, and thereby hangs the tale of woe, the "district voted and . carried as describ ed and set out in the advertisement without anybody interested seeing the "Joker." Of course nobody intended to establish such a district as One District, and yet the voters, with the advertisement before them approved the district as. described. It was a case pf voting, for one thing and get ting another; of asking for bread and getting a stone. ' Unfortunately there is no remedy wilhin two years unless the State Superintendent should take the "bull by the horns" and rule that it had not been legally established. This would be an easy (and we believe a just wayY ouc of the dilemma. As the matter now stands the dis trict will be resisted through the Courts by interested tax payers. It will he and the law makes it.Uit? duty of all tchoo1 authorities to o'.usy the construction placed on the school law by the State J5upt..of- Public In struction. His construction would rot he resisted and though it might not stand the test of the Courts it would provide a "way of escape" for an illegal act to be legally done. As the matter now stands the Board and the district must stand to its own acts. In the mean time steps could ha taken for a new- election and a sepa rate election, to be held ready for next year. It is an unfortunate condition that nobody intended should exist. But the moral is "Read the Boundaries of the proposed district as are set forth in the advetisement, and not vote for a thing you might have a wrong conception of." In the words of Davy Crockett: "Be sure you are right then go ahead." If those who are so loudly opposing the district had drawn the attention of the voters to the fact that they were voting for something they did not petition for, then all this trouble would have been avoided. On the other hand, if the Board had been more careful in keep ing the territory separate when ask ing for the election, there would have been two districts established instead of one.
