RANG THE SCHOOL BELL
Have Had Trouble With the superin
tendent All the Term Who Has
Now Taken Serious
Action.

Hampton, Ia. Oct. 31.-Superintend-,
ent o. w. Maxwell of the Hampton
high school has suspended about fifteen
students within the last two days, and
it is said that more will follow. The
cause is claimed by Maxwell to be
that they broke and entered the school,
house. On that evening, the Philo-'
nathan debating society, composed of
the young ladies of the school. We're
holding their regular weekly meeting
and about twenty-five of their boy
classmates gathered around the school
yard and finally entered and tied the
door TO the room in which the young
ladies We're debating. After ringing the
gong in the lower hall, they departed.
Within the last two days, Superintend-
ent Maxwell has suspended the follows
ing boys for being implicated in the
affair: Gene Webb. Harry Hand Will
bur Thompson. Clifford Conway, We're
Creighton. Victor Beed. Vern Haney,
John Muir. John Austin Frank Jerne-
gan and Frank Kaufman. Their sus-
pension is to be until they are allowed
to return by the school board. Muir,
Webb. Hand. Thompson. Haney, Jer-
negan and Conway are all members Of
the Hampton high school football team
and their suspension means that mo-
more games can be played by that team
until they have been reinstated, which,
will probably not be for some time, and
perhaps not until the season is over.
The members of the football team
have had trouble with Maxwell all
season over his refusal to allow thent
to advertise their games at the school
building, and they impute this trouble
to be the cause of their suspension, as
they say their ofense was SO trivial
that it did not deserve such punish
ment.

While its volume does not attract
attention, the increase of our trade
with Japan is significant. That in
crease, OF course, will show great gains
when the returns for the last fiscal year
are made, for our exports have been
enormously increased by the war. II is
probable that nearly s2o.0o0,ooo of Jap
anese trade has been centered in san
Francisco in the last year. or has been
carried through here and exported on
our Pacific liners. With her natural
expansion permitted. the foreign trade
of that empire will be- greatly enhanced.
Especially in foodstuffs we may expect
q large share of the increase.

The Australian eucalyptus tree is be-
ing grown on a large scale in southern

of It's tendency to drain swamps. This

that actually the Transportation OF the
