Child Attacked by Big Snake.

The two-year-old son &c Fred Mite,
who resides southeast of Dodgeville,
was attacked Tuesday afternoon by a
tive-foot blow snake and rendered un-
conscious. The child was playing in a
wire enclosure near the house. The
child's hip was poisoned and an uncle,
Joseph Mite. sucked the poison from
the wound as best he could, pending
the arrival of physician. The reptile
was still in the enclosure when the ae-
cident was discovered and was killed
by the child's mother.
The child is recovering slowly from
the effects of the experience and no
serious results are anticipated. Dodge

Did it ever occur to you that.atho
most important question to yous is
how much every farmer raises and how
many acres Of land he cultivates? If q
farmer turns off only one beeff'steer
instead Of twenty, your meat billsis go
ing to be high, yes, higher When the
farmer cultivates only 40 acres instead
of 80, the consumer OF food stuffs is
the loser.
What is this to the average citizen,
you ask +? The farmer expands his use
fulnoss in proportion as the small as
well as the large investor comes to his
aid with the cash to fertilize and cult
vate, through the purchase of mort
cages, which not only builds our rail-
roads, factories. telegraph and tele-
phone lines, but is today the greatest
force in providing the farmer with the
necessary cash with which to improve
his farming methods, increase his acre
age and turn of more cattle and pro-
duce, thus giving the people more and
better food at lower prices.
The mortgage supplies the progress
sive man with the means, and in turn
furnishes the investor with the very
best security as well as a splendid re
turn IN interest.
There is no security on earth like the
earth itself.

SOUTHEAST FEARS
REMOVAL OF SCHOOL
Citizens Demand Eastern Hiqh
Be Kept in Their Section of
the City.

Location Of the new Eastern High
School on the present Jail site Is op-
posed by the Southeast Washington
Citizens Association
That association went on record last
night as opposing the purchase of the
tract lying along Massachusetts, avenue
southeast. and bounded by B. Sixteenth,
and Eighteenth streets.
This site lies directly west OF the pres
ent Jail and workhouse grounds. The
hope OF the southeast citizens Is to ac-
quire this tract and then have the jail
property added to the school grounds
when the reservation Is abandoned
In this action the association flies in
the face OF the recommendation of a
subcommittee appointed by the Board
Of Education, which recommended a
tract located between Seventh and Nine
teenth streets. and East Capitol and 3
streets northeast. In regard to this
tract President A. G. Hermann. OF the
southeast association, said:
The land is one OF the most uneven
pieces in East Washington. District
convicts worked an entire year max
ing one cut in It The northeastern
part of the land Is forty feet lower
than the southwestern part It
would take a large sum OF money to
level the land and to make II fit for
school purposes.

ARCHITECTS TO AID
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
American Institute Will Help in
Making Proposed Project

Nationwide assistance will be given

in making the proposed trans-conti-
mental roadway uniformly artistic.
Representatives OF the institute in

This action was assured at the closing
session Of the convention OF architects
TODAY at the Shoreham. before which
Elmer c. Jensen, OF Chicago, chairman
of the highway committee, reported
that a patriotic service could be rem
dered the country If efforts were made
to make the roadway a stretch OF rare
beauty rather than a thoroughfore in
which art was entirely forgotten. Mr..
Jensen recommended that the institute
name plan commission, the duty Of
which would be to design uniform deco
rations and improvements for the route
of the highway. The report also in
cIuded the appointment of representa-
tives in each State to work in cnjunc-
ton with the Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation in identifying the roadway.
A discussion of the report of the
committee on contracts and specifica-
tons was led by +. NJ. Day, of Phila-
delphia, chairman Of the committee. The
report recommended the standardiza-
ton OF charges for work.

COUPLE TAK|NGLONG
TRIP ON HORSEBACK

Adorned in the typical Western
clothes of the romantic cowboy days.
Hamilton B. Bassett. in company with
his wife. rode through Washington to-
dav on horseback en- route to South
Carolina, and thence to New Mexico,
Silver City. of that State. being the
point of destination. Inspired by the
book OF Jack London. entitled. Tho
Valley of the Moon" the couple. who
saw they are intimate friends of that
popular writer. are hitting the trail
to enact in reality some of the ad
ventures described in that novel.
They left silver Springs last May for
the ,Catskill mountains, in New York.
At first they camped in small tent
at night. but later becoming hardened
to the open air life, the tent was dis
pensed with. The entire equipment
used by Mr.. Bassett and his wife con-
sists of four mustangs. a pistol and gun
each, and a few cooking utensils.
on arriving in South Carolina Mr.. Bas-
salt intends to turn westward and con-
tinue to his native town, Silver City,
where he expects to arrive some time in
March.
During the Panama Exposition, the
couple Will make a similar trip 10 San
Francisco, where they will remain for
several weeks After this trip Mr.. Bas-
satt and mis- wife will collaborate in

out by the Eastern parent-teachers'
body
Interested in the plan also are mem
bers of the Federation of Home-SchooI
Association of the Seventh Division,
which covers the territory in which
Eastern High is located. Parents. not
teachers nor school officials, are to be
on this board.
In explaining his idea, Principal Small
said:
The idea has not yet been de-
veloped. I hope it will be an ac-
complished fact soon. have left II

mean this board to be one merely
for petty complaints and adverse
criticisms.
Instead hope it will be a clearing
house for helpful suggestions.
Through il we can get the backing
of parents for Innovations much
needed in our school. Problems may
be worked out, and those things for
which there is q demand, and there
fore cooperation among parents may
be introduced.
Dr. Small cited physical training as
a course for which there now is de-
mand, but which cannot be amplified
because of the limited time afforded by
present school hours. II parents wish
more attention to physical work, and
are willing to back up n longer school

School Program Handicapped.

The inadequate size of the present as

program. All the pupils cannot be
seated there, so several assemblies have

necessary. To remedy this condition
Mr.. Davis would have galleries placed
along the east south and west sides
of the assembly hall. He would have
the entrances to these galleries from
the fourth floor formed by the pro-
posed play space and new study hall.
The play space on the roof, he said, is
badly needed. The idea is not a fad
but an urgent necessity. At present

Lesser improvements at Business
which Mr.. Davis has advocated are
remodeled gallery in the gymnasium so
II NAV be used for a running track, and
the placing of a glass awning on the
north of the building between entrances
so that the small yard and sidewalk
might be a forum for the boys.
The Business High School now ap-
proaches most nearly the vocational
training advocated by educational ex-
perts. Its graduates yearly go di-
rectly to positions in Washington bust
ness houses. Its alumni association
maintains an employment agency for
placing its graduates. When Business
has to work under a handicap, the re-
suit is a direct loss of efficiency in the
business community of Washington.
