Beaver High School.

"Shall Beaver add the third year
high school year work the coming
year?" is question confronting the
district at the present time Three
applications for the third year work
have reached this office from citizens
of this county who would prefer to
send their children to Beaver City to
be educated rather than to towns out
side the county and these same citi-
zens are anxious to know If they will
be able to obtain the instruction they
desire.
BY all means this work should be
added the coming year and if there
should be demand for the same, the
fourth year work should also be added.
This additional work will increase the
enrolment thereby making the eflici-
ency OF the school as an institution,
greater. 1t will give the school bet
ter standing with the citizens of the
county and will enable class to
graduate in 1918, one year sooner than
il this work is not added Incidentally
it will bring class of desirable citi-
zens to town which will increase the
real estate and commercial interests.
II the third year is not added, pupils
who are prepared to do the Junior
work will be required to go outside
the county for school advantages and
in many instances it will be necessai y
for their parents to go with them thus
working decided disadvantage upon
the rural district and upon the county
Next year the condition would be the
same for they will still be a year ahead
of the course offered by the Beaver
school.

once An able man should be employ.

work, to outline the course of study

are ready for the high school work, to

our citizens would prefer to have
their children educated in Beaver
county IL they are satisfied what they
will receive here will be as thorough
as they can obtain in the nearby
towns outside the county, We can as
sure these people that they can secure

Petitioned.

Saturday petitions were sent to
Meade from Beaver LaKemp, Balko,
Clear Lake and Hatten, Oklahoma,
petitioning the Chicago, Rock Island
d Pacific Railroad to give them night
service. in order that there would be
less delay in getting night letters. As
it is now, there is no night operator
and this necessarily causes the delay
in these places getting service. All
the above named towns arc in direct
telephone connection with Meade and
were we to have a night operator here
messages could be delivered to them
much more promptly These towns
have been receiving all their messages
through the Meade day office, and are
so well satisfied with the service they
have received that they are asking for
an improvement on the service, by way
OF the establishment of night Office
and operator. They say that they can
get better service through Meade than
through any other point and are very
anxious that the Railroad Company
place night operator at this place,
As soon as the petitions were receiv-
ed from these towns, +. /. Bennett and
o. r. Stevens started out with peti-
tions of the same nature and within
the course of very few hours had the
signatures of ninety-one of the bust
ness firms of Meade attached thereto.
The promptness with which the petit
tion was signed signifies that the
Meade people are likewise interested
in having this valuable addition made.
1t is very likely that we will be Civ
en- a night operator and in such an
event an uptown office will be estab.
lshed. Still Meade moves Meade
(Kas) News,
We trust that the petition of our
people and our neighbors will be grant
ed and that Meade will secure the
night service. The night letter priyi-
lege has not proven as great benefit
to our people as it would had there
been less delay in receiving such. With

cellent telephone service we would be

of two patients Of the Jewish Mater

long standing. who happened to in.
crease the population Of the world in
that building by boy and girl on
the same day. They had often ex-
pressed the determination to make a
match between their offspring and the
occasion seemed so propitious that
little Leonard Barnett and tiny Ra-
cheI Marcus were betrothed to each
other in the presence Of the staff be-
fore either of them was day old.
Unfortunately, love laughs at such
bonds and the very fact of their being
tied together in this unceremonious
way may turn them against each
other Fortunately, at present the
betrothal is merely pious wish and
has no legal validity either in Jewish
or American law.

and Is Most interest
ing City.

On February 20 many prelates of the
Roman Catholic church, with Cardinal
Gibbons presiding at the cathedral in
Mobile, celebrated the two hundredth
anniversary OF the founding OF that
city by the French, under Bienville.
There was a pontifical high mass and
other exercises. and the civil authori-
ties We're represented in some of them.
The reason why the Catholic church
took the lead in the celebration
is that church and state in France
went hand in hand in planting new
colonies in those days as we'll as in
governing them, and also in governing
old colonies.
mobile is one of the most interest
ing OF the country's cities. Founded
several years before New Orleans. ii
was the first capital of French Louis

and half. Among its natives and
canadian subjects France was well
served on the American continent in

Some Of these were white, some OF

with fringe of the same material on
the ends, more. of them had on each
end tassel made Of the wool; the
fringe used to get ragged with wear
and rough handling or one or both If
the tagsels on a tasselled tippet was

Many of these tippets that the
their mothers; many OF them were
bought in store; every dry goods store
kept tippets, you could always see a
line of them hanging up in the store;
and in those days every boy wore one.
They would take turn or two OF
their tippet around their neck and
then make one loose tie in it. not

you'd see around the necks of these
