Some Excellent Work Done
By The Students
Almost As Good As Skilled
WOrkmen Produce

The fact that the public schools of
Mt. Vernon are up-to-date in every
respect manifests itself more plainly
almost every day as some particular
strong point in the various courses of
study is continually being presented
In such convincing form that it can
not be, questioned. In late years, new
branches of study and exercises have
been introduced into the Mt. Vernon
public schools that serve to equip the
student for the pursuit of many diff
ferent professional vocations.
One of the most interesting branch
es of study, which has been lately in
s,alle1 n the schools, Is that of Tdn-
ual training. This study Is EXTENDED
to all of the grammar grades as well
as to the High school, there being
several students of manual training
in the latter. The boys, who never
before have had any training of this
kind, begun the study under Profes-
sor J. w. Meyer, who has charge Of
this department, at the beginning of
the year and are taught the funda-
mental rules of workmanship before
the actual work begins. Then they
are started In at the beginning and
are worked up as high as the course
will permit before the ending of the
year. II
Some of the articles produced by
the young workmen are remarkable,
considering the time that they have
to learn. Such articles as book racks,
waste paper baskets, magazine and
paper racks, foot stools and inlaid
work. Men who make the above ar
ticles are today commanding high
wages as there Is steady demand
for skiller workmen.
The carving work done in this de-
partment is also interesting as well
as beneficial to the students. Some
of the pieces carved by them have
the appearance Of having been pro-
duced by men skilled in the art.
Many exhibitions of the work can
now be seen In the window of the
Sipe & White store on South Main
street and 1t will be very interesting
as we'll as satisfying to view these
exhibitions. Every person in Mt. Yer
non and Knox county should feel in
terested in the work being done in the
manual training department and 1t is
hoped that all will have an opportun
ity to see the articles that are or
exhibition.

Thus Mr.. Stigner concluded, but the
last sentence was pathetic for the
reason that the mans physical condi.
tion is such that it would require a
long time to render him efficient in
any kind of business requiring sus.
tanned mental effort, or the steady
nerves required for the successful fol
lowing of the delicate manipulations
required in his profession.
The history of the Singer family is
to some extent known in this com
munity, where they have lived most
of the time for the past 20 years OF
more. 1t is indeed one in which the
sombre pages far outnumber those IL
lumined by the brightness of the light
of unalloyed happiness.

she began taking to ease the terrible

The beet question is up before our
people and the men who lead generally
in such matters touching the welfare
of our people should not fail to recog-
nize the Importance of cooperating
with the beet growers in securing for
them the best possible price and in
securing as high price as received in
any other locality in the state. This
fact must never be lost sight of either
by farmer or business man that of all
crops the beet crop is the safest and
surest debt litter.
The meeting held has shown that the
sugar company does not give the slid
ing scale to any territory ontside the
IS cent freight rate and we are out
side.
This is no doubt true and in such a
case we have not been treated differ
emily than other growers. Some def
nate object must be pursued or nothing
but agitations and discomfort will result.

Cooperation also, in Mr.. Brandeis'
opinion, would secure reductions in the
cost of steel rails, che price of which
he believed an enormous saving could
be made.
-Four great steel companies" said
Mr.. Brandeis, ''have altogether sixty
five directors. Forty of the sixty-five
are director, in the aggregate, in fifty
two railroads, including the most i'm
portant system. Is it wonder that
the railroads did not direct their COM
binations to secure a reduction in the
price of steel?
"The economies which would result
if all the railroads in the United States
introduced scientific management has
been estimated at no less than mil
lion dollar a day." he continues.
This would result in reducing the
present operating cost of the railroad
an average of 20 per cent"

Very Accommodating

A funny thing happened to young
lady who was attending her church
few Sundays ago. Sitting directly be-
fore her was a tall. well dressed
stranger with piece of white ravel-
ing hanging down his collar. Being
young lady of accommodating turn,
one Of those warm hearted girls, who
grow to be motherly ladies', she
thought how glad she would be if some
kind hearted girl would do as much for
her father if he should come to church
with raveling hanging down his back.
Beside the thing worried her, because
of the uncouth appearance presented.
So. as the congregation arose for pray
er she concluded to pull it off. Care
fnlly raising her hand, she gave it a
little twitch, but there was more of the
thread appearing. Setting her teeth
she gave another pull. and about yard
more hung down his back. That was
getting embarrassing, but with a re-
solve to do or die, she gave another
yank, and discovered that she was un-
raveling his underwear. Chloroform
would not have alleviated her suffering,
nor pint of powder have hidden her
bushes, when the gentleman turned to
see what was tickling his back.

Narrow Escape From Drowning
at New Windsor, Colorado

Word was received here on Wednes-
day of last week of the miraculous
escape from death of Miss Bess Law
of this city, at New Windsor, Colorado
on Teusday night of last week. Miss
Law with party of young people
were skating on the New Windsor, lake
the party consisting of four couples.
The party were skating along in a
row when the ice began to give
away.
Three of the couples passed where
the ice was breaking safely, but Miss
Law and gentleman friend were not so
fortunate. They went down under the
ice together, going under three times
and coming up in the same place each
time, the third time being assisted by
a long pole which had been laid across
the ice by one of the party, thus saw
ing their lives. 1t was very narrow
escape from death.
Letters received from Miss Law say
that she is recovering nicely from her
hazardous experience and declares that
she is through with that fascinating
past time.

Sacramento, al.,-Japan's first
official protest against proposed anti
Japanese legislation in this state
came in the form of letter from Con-
sui General Matsuzo Nagal, at San
Francisco, to Senator Leroy Wright,
chairman of the senate committee of
federal relations.
81 think the the people of this state
hardly realize the deep concern felt in
Japan on this subject" says the consul
general. DISCRIMINATION at this time
would be particularly surprising
to the Japanese people in view of the
effort which have been made during
the past two years to cultivate the good
will of the American people and to
prove to them the sincerity of Japanese
good will"
The letter contains figures support
