Every pupil affected will be re quired to fill out an Information blank before the certificate of eli gibility is issued. These will be available from all high school prin cipals and will be in their hands several days ahead of school open ing. They can also be secured at the county superintendent's office. This Information blank will give all of the data as to the pupil, his educational record, a statement as to the high school he plans to attend and other essential data. When the Information blank is found in order the eligibility certificate is Issued and Is evidence he Is entitled to tul tlon. This certificate will be taken up by the high school principal when the pupil registers and Is re tained by him. A new certificate will be Issued each year. Under no condition can the pupil register and be eligible for tuition without such certificate. No tuition will be paid for any pupil for whom an in formation blank is not on file in the county superintendent's office.

"Camels are a longer-burning cigarette," Owen says, "and that means mon smokin' for my money. It means, too, that Camels taste cooler... milder. Puff for puff, Camels put more pleasure ia smoking and a big extra measure of it." Observe the way your cigarette burns. Recent impartial laboratory find ings confirm the experience of Camel smokers. Camels are known to bum longer, delivering steadily to smokers more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack.
