Our football team is engaged in a
battle with the LIE Roy, Minn., team
at the latter place this Friday after
noon.
A number of the teachers have form
ed themselves into Manual Train
ing class which meets after school
Mondaysand Wednesdays of each week.
This is examination week and all Of
the classes are engaged in the doubt
full pleasure of showing their teachers
how much they have learned during
the first six weeks.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the drawing work in the 8th
grade is now given in one continuous
period of forty minutes once "a week,
which will greatly facilitate the work
in this grade.
Val E. Nearpass arrived Tuesday
from Terre Haute, Inda., where he has
been employed during the summer in
the general Office Of the Vahdalia rail-
road. He will make his home with his
brother, H. L. Nearpass, and has en-
tered Cresco High School as a Senior.
Virgil Wheeler of near Cresco enter
ed High School as Freshman, Mon
day morning. If there are any others
in this vicinity who plan to enter this
High School. 1t would be well to do so
not later than next week, as it will
soon be too late to make up back work.
At the first fire drill of the season
Thursday morning, the building was
emptied in trifle less than one minute.
When it is considered that there are
nearly 400 pupils in the main building,
and that no previous warning or prac-
tice had been given, this time is really
remarkable. 1t would take quick fire
indeed to catch the pupils of the Cres-
CO Public Schools mapping.
The supply of report cards being ex-
hausted, new ones are being printed
this week. A slight change has been
made, in that on the reverse side of
the card are given number of points
which, when checked, will give the
parents an idea of the pupils general
attitude in school. 1t is hoped that
this will secure closer cooperation
between parents and children in look
ing after the educational welfare of
the children of Cresco.
The Lime Springs football team did
not prove as formidable as we had ex-
pected: the stories of their size had
been greatly exaggerated, and they
did not seem to have absorbed much of
a knowledge of the game from their
famous coach. However, they put up
a plucky fight and the score 80 to 0.
was no disgrace to theme. The car
nival officials stopped the game
at the end of the third quarter in or
der to clear the field for the AVIATION
exhibition, and after that it was too
late to finish it..

Barbara Frietchie Day
War Is Being Waged in Frederick Over Setting
Aside Holiday in Schools-Historians Say
the Incident Is Only Fiction

Agitation over the Barbara Frietchie
incident in Frederick. Nd. during the
civil war is expected to strike the Dis

In Frederick, the Barbara Frietchie
incident. whether actual or tradition

between the Barbara Frietchie Memo

quests all over the country that State
superintendents set aside a day in her
memory. and the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, whose members are so
bitterly opposed to the perpetuation of
what they regard as an impugning of
the character Of Stonewall Jackson.
According to a dispatch received last
night from Frederick. the war be-
tween the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy and the Barbara Frietchie
Memorial Association, which proposes to
erect a monument over the grave of
Barbara Frietchie. has been so hercely

served generally by the schools OF the
United States by special exercises The
teachers are asked to take a voluntary
contribution from the children TO assist
toward the erection of the monument
in Frederick.
Soon after the formation of the Me-
mortal Association a special meeting Of
the State body OF the Daughters Of the
Confederacy was called and resolutions
were adopted branding the oft told deed
Of Mrs Frietchie as falsehood in the
following words:
TT is an untruth. and impugns the
character of one of the truest Christian
gentlemen that ever lived: and We. the
Daughters OF that Confederacy for which
he willingly gave his life. will at least
defend his memory"
Historian Is Quoted.
The resolutions quote the noted Mary
land historian. J. Thomas Scharf, who.
upon the authority of Dr. Thomas Tyler
(the biographer of Chief Justice Taney)
says: 'Stonewalr Jackson never passed
Barbara Frietchies house, but passed
down Mill Alley and entered Patrick
Street west of Carroll Creek. while the
Frietchie house Is on the east side of the
creek and about a square from the en-
trance of the alley into Patrick Street

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO EVERY WOMAN
EDITED JULIA MANI
Why Have the Customs
OfAH Lands Pressed
So Heavily on Woman?

Why were women told they must wear
the dense black veil,, which. happily. has
been replaced by something lighter and
more transparent, but still a veil. still
worn In Difference to the strange ORR
entail way of defining "woman's sphere?'
And why have they been kept behind
lattices. obliged to petition for the right
to go to and from their homes at will?
1t is not because Turkish women wiiled
1t SO. sihce there is an outpouring Of
women to-day. protesting against the
clogging chains that have 80 long held
them bound to senseless customs. They
want to drop the veil entirely. want to
live and move as free human beings.
But why does the text Of the Koran
make life so unattractive to Turkish
women?
. God Not the Originator.
1t was not the Maker Of us all who
established a moral code for Japanese
women. which amounted to a doctrine Of
obedience to parents and to husbands.
Who was responsible for the low social
and domestic standards against which
they are rebelling to-day?
Who set the stagnating pace that Chi
nese women have followed? Why has
mere existence been made so cruelty
hard for them through the long CEN
turies? Who decreed the bound foot and
fettered lives? Women never signed the
death warrant to their own liberty and
happiness in that wanton. certain way.
And why that strange Islam doctrine
that woman is soulless creature. just
created to serve man? Who took that
narrow measure and established the
standard of the Persian woman?
And here Is the question that really
hurts:
Why did our American men ever put
upon the statute books in this free
country some of the laws that have been
a disgrace to our standards of woman
hood? True, they have been wiped out,
many of them. Not all, fer one need
only glance over an epitomo of laws that
still exist in some of our States to be
quite shocked at the amazing conditions
they betray.
Almost a Chattel.
And the question is, not what States
have improved their laws looking toward
woman's protection, what still carry an
tiquated statutes-but how. why did the
bad ones ever creep In. those laws mark
edly against woman, making her almost
chattel of her husband? For there
was practically nothing the married
woman could call her own, not even her
children. And who ever made it possi-
BILE for a man to collect and dispose of
his wifes earnings? That provision was
passed upon and became a law. 1t still
remains a law in a few States.
These are not pleasant reflections,
particularly when one is thinking of
woman's protection. For while IL is true
that man had to remove them wherever
they have been removed. why did he
ever legalize such restricting inequali-
ties? Sometimes We are told that bet
terment has come just in the course of
natural progress. but men and women,
yesterday, to-day, and tomorrow, should
be free to progress-together.

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

As you read OF the far-away coun-
tries where women are just beginning
to feel the impetus of the worldwide
movement in behalf OF better opportuni-
ties. don't you ever wonder why 1t Is
for them and why 1t has ever been DEEM
ed necessary to have one code affecting
man. another affecting woman. when the
same human right was involved?
1t is not pleasant line of thought.
because 1t Is SO difficult to associate the
theory of woman's protection with the
plain fact of her subsection. And 1t is
not woman N America, in England. or
any other country. not woman of to-
day. enjoying many of the fruits OF
progress, but woman the world over. yes

supposedly the weaker vessel?'
Not for Her Protection.
Who ever thought out and carried out
the atrocious custom which years ago
forced widows in India to throw them
selves on the funeral pyres of their hus-
bands? Men never descended to such
awful folly. And when that custom was
no longer in effect. how did it ever come
about that from the moment a woman
was widowed in that benighted land she
was branded as an outcast, the slave
of the entire family? Surely It was not
for her protection. And why was there
ever a decree prohibiting Hindu wom-
an from inheriting property?
Women in India to-day are slowly but
surely demonstrating that it was not
mental inferiority that held women in
such low estate, for as they are emerg-
ing from the shadows they are proving
their fitness to live on the same huma n
plane as their husbands, their brothers.
their fathers. But the question ever
comes to mind-who instituted the de-
moralizing customs? And why the wild
ow alone? There was odium in her lot,
but by far the greater odium belongs to
the ones who condemned her to a life

And why did the ->oran make II so
