Miss McAvoy, teacher of Grades 5 and

sickness. Her place was taken by Miss
Scott. e....
Term examinations will be held in

Attendance in school is affected by the
prevalence of grip.
There will be two weeks vacation,
for Christmas and New Years, beginning
Friday night, for the school children.
Professor Newell writes THE NEWS
that the first year pupils are trying to
qualify as contributors to the paper and
sends some compositions written by the
little folks. The first, printed herewith,
was written by Edith Landon whose
subject is: "What should we expect Of
immigrants coming to our country and
how should we treat them?" "She says:
Immigrants coming tolouricountry pro-
badly think if they don know very much
about America, that they will have to
fight their way through the country.
If the people would give them merry
welcome and show them that we are
pleased to have them come. they would
surely greet us the same when we go to
their country. We cannot expect to see
them act the same as our people at first
but after they have been here a while
we will begin to expect the same of them
as of our own people.
If immigrants come from a country
that has not much civilization, we
should try to get them into our schools
and religious societies so that if they get
interested they will go back to their
own country and try to teach them our
way of living.
OF course we cannot let any and every
foreigner into our country, but there
should be law that every foreigner
before entering America should be thor,
oughly examined, so that there would
be no new disease brought here"

Mrs. A. B. Sewall and daughter Miss
Edith returned to Sharon on Friday.
They have been visiting friends in Bos-
ton. They are at The Bartram as their
summer home is closed for the winter,
The Misses King also remain in Sharon

The lecture on Tuesday night by
Evelyn Baldwin of the Baldwin Ziegler
Arctic Expedition" on his journey, dis
coveries and experiences in the white
World" Of the polar regions, was one of
fascinating interest from first to last.
He told his story in a simple, unaffected
manner, and illustrated it by large
number of ifelike views. apparently
taken on the spot.
| The sudden death of Mrs. Robert
Knight on Sunday was a shock to all
who knew her. She has lived in Shar-
on great share of her life and will be
remembered as a devoted wife and
mother, kind and loving neighbor.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to
Doctor, Henry and the daughter. The
funeral was held from the home Tues
day, Rev L. HI. Schwab officiating; in

The snow storm on Saturday blocked
roads quite effectually. We noticed
some teams from the mountain district
with men and shovels making their way
to Coleman's station with loads of milk
The storm however gave a fine excuse to
many not to attend church. One man
remarked that he could not attend
| as he had not shoveled out the paths
and an elderly lady pleasantly remarked
that "no excuse is better than none"
DR.. M. @. Thompson, the veterinarian
is kept very busy. His drives extend to
the adjoining towns. He returned from
Millbrook, where he had been profess
sionally Saturday in the snow storm.
The doctor is graduate of Cornell
University and is well up in his profess
sion. Sharon is blessed with good min
listers, good doctors, good lawyer and
good schools This gives tone and
character and standing to our most
beautiful village.
Just before Dec. 1st while hunting
Edward Thayer, better known as the
Indian, saw a large hawk catch part
ridge and then alight on nearby tree.
He at once shot the hawk. The part.

to run and Thayer also shot that and
put it in his pocket. In the meantime
the hawk with a broken wing was fin.

These are prosperous times. Money
Is plentiful and prices high for all kinds
Of farm products. "A perusal of the
statements recently published in the
Recorder by the three banks Of this
city shows deposits to the amount of
over $1,104,000, a gain during the
past twelve months of over s376,00o
Where does all this money come
from Is the question that rises in our
mind. Very little of 1t is foreign
money. A very small proportion be-
longs to the busineks men of town.
for they need and use all their money
in their business. The wealthy retired
citizens have their funds loaned out
on long time paper drawing a small
rate Of interest, so that they can not
be counted as heavy depositors. Very
few Of our day laborers can show a
bank account. BY this process Of
elimination we reach the conclusion
that the bulk of this million belongs
to the farmers residing within the
radius of few miles of town. and
this fact proves the truth OF the asser-
ton that the farmer is king and the
state of Iowa is today in the best con-
dition financially that 1t ever enjoyed.
The farmers during the past few years
have changed from borrowers to- de-
posieors They ought to be contented

FIVE per cent Is there not inequality
that ought to be corrected?
The idea is growing that moneys
and credits should be exempt from
taxation. Such exemption would make
Iowa the dumping ground for millions
OF money. More money would operate
to reduce the rate Of interest, and Ut
orally force the investment of the
money in enterprises that would build
up. the state, Iowans do not need to

Just what the state needs? Iowa Is

Burton was exactly the opposite. He

of seriousness about him that he was
always spoken of as old Burton. He
was, ore of the most pious fellows in
college at the time, receiving financial
aid because he was studying to be q
minister. Afterwards he went to Ober-

line, but became an atheist and drifted
into the law and later into politics.

Without the aid Of the police AZ be-

is q hazardous business in cities OF
Sany size. 1t has ceased to be popular
for the police to be in league with the
gamblers anywhere, and Sioux City
ought not to be an exception. II the
anti gambling policy Is rigidly en-
forced during the closing months OF
the present administration 1t will be
given permanency. At least, it will
hardly be possible in the 1908 election
to choose mayor pledged to a re-
versal. AS the case stands, Ii is not
too much to speak OF Mayor Sears as
a reform mayor, and that this should
be was not contemplated at the time
of his last election. s*s
The evidence Of the mayors quiet
investigation Is that Sioux City is on
the moral up grade. He is too modest
to say this Is the result Of his admin
istratlon, and 1t is as well to let the
fact go to the credit of the community
at large. The mayor does well to take
up the slack in the rope.
