Germany Submarines Get Two
More Merchant Ships
London, April 1.?While German
submarines continue their
activity around British coasts
lie naval wing of the royal flying
squadron keeps up its attacks
on German underwater craft!
being built at lloboken and at
the /.cbrupge submarine base.
The Germans have added two
more steamers to the long list of
in reliant men sunk off Beachy

w i the French steamer Emma,
to pedoed yesterday with a loss
ol rt of her crew, and the British
st?. e-ner Seven Seas, sent to the
h< Horn today with 11 of her
crew.
l he British losses already reported
for the week ending
VIarch 51 were five steamers. A
sixth vessel torpedoed reached
noil. During the week, however,
1,559 vessels entered and
aailed from British ports. So
except for loss of life, the dam

< hi the other hand, the British
have no means of ascertaining
the nature of the damage done
by bombs dropped at Hoboken
and Zeebrugge, although it is
believed two submarines at the
mole of Zeebrugge were damaged.
Hats off to Jefferson.
We learn that our neighbor,
the Jefferson school district has
gotten ahead of us and possibly
ahead of all other districts in our
large county in that they have
put into effect the law requiring
school attemlence of all children
who can atu mi, we are told that
nearly 20'! qualified electors
Lh?.?
trustees pfesented it to them.
Now wh > would have thought
that even Jefferson would have
gotten ahead of Pageland in this
matter? Of course we do not
claim our neighbor town to be
backward, but in this one particular
we were delightfully surprised
when we learned that the
compulsorv school attendence
law?the every child's friend?
had been made operative.
Now we thought pretty well
oi our jenerson netgnoors oefore
but we think better still of
them now. They manifest a
sympathy for the needy child,
and are undertaking to help it.
Well, we'll he able to say that
for Pageland "'fore long," we
hope. We an? waking up now
out of sleep and just as soon as
we rub our eyes, bathe our
faces, and eat a little breakfast,
then we'll sign the petition
which our trustees will Have
around soon. We know our
trustees are as unselfish and
care as inucli for the neglected
children as do the trustees elsewhere,
and we believe that they
j will see to this matter before it
is "everlastingly" too late
Let everybody bear in mind
the fact that morning does not
come in I'ageland as soon as it
does in some places on the earth
and therefore we gei up later,
but when we do start we get
there and don't you forget it.
?Interested Citi/.en.
It was recess. Two small boys
i were having a somewhat rough
; struggle, and wnen one received
j an unexpected liard blow he exclaimed:
"II you don't watch out you'll
end up in a place that begins
with 11 and ends with L!'
A passing teacher, hearing the
remark, scolded the boy severely
tor what he had said.
"Well," replied the boy, after
a pause, "I don't know what
you're talking about I only
meant hospital."

Harold's strange perverse
vision was noticed when his
teacher found him writing from

"The letters run the wrong

read it easily.

Slightly Mixed
Two correspondents wrote to
a New Kngland country editor
desiring to know, respectively,
"the best way of assisting twins
through the teething" and "how
to rid an orchard of grasshoppers."
The editor answered both
questions faithfully, but, unloi
innately, got the initials mixed,
so that the fond father of the
teething twins was thunderstruck
| by the following advice:
"If you are unfortunate
enough to be plagued by these
unwelcome little pests, the
quickest wav of settling them is
to cover them with straw and set
it on fire."
The other man, who was
bothered with grasshoppers* was
equally amazed to read: " The
best method of treatment is to
give each a warm bath twice a
day, and rub their gums with
India rubber."?Kx.
"Do von say you've known
I this man all his life?" asked the
! lawyer.

witness. "I've just known him
