The Kansas State Board of Health is encouraging the circulation of the following verses of an Indiana High School Student: A fly and a flea, A mosquito and a louse, All lived together In a very dirty house. The louse spread the ague, The 'skeeter spread the chills, And they all worked together For undertaker's bills. The fly spread typhoid, And the flea spread typhus, too, And the people in the house Where a mighty dirty crew. Along came a man And he cleaned up the house, He screened out the 'skeeter And swatted the louse; The fly and the flea He smacked on the wall, And now the people in the house Are never sick at ajl.

Do you want a handsome piano? You can get one very easily in this Contest. There are many homes in this County where young ladles long for pianos, yes ask and some even beg their parents, year after year, for an Instrument. Now that there Is an opportunity to win one for a little work, will you sit still ami make no move to get it? This question you alone can answer. Not by mere words, but by actions.

Parents who have been asked i'or an Instrument will now see whether their daughters are really in earnest or not. People are always ready to help those who try to help themselves. Get out among your neighbors and show them that you are worthy of such a prize and have enough energy and determination to win it and they will help yon. They will work for you, talk for you and secure vo'tes for you. But you must start the work yourself and keep at It until the goal is reached and the prize is won.

If you wait for your friends to start the work for you, they will wait for you to start the work for yourself, and it will be "waiting" all around, nothing else. Remember too, that the girl who gets out and hustles for a piaio. though she fails to win It, Is bettor known, has more friends, and is regarded by all as possessing more worth than the girl who is afraid to put forth an effort for what she wants even though her father is able to buy several pianos for her. dent disapproval: "Is anyflng the mat ter wif LOCALS.
