agriculture are anticipated. One
matter especially noted in this circu-

ORIGIN AND END OF GROG

Secretary Daniels order prohib,
iting alcoholic liquors on board ships
of the navy and at navy yards has
given rise to the question regarding
the origin of the word "grog."
Vice-Admiral Vernon of the Brit.
ish squadron operating in the West
Indies in l740, the man for whom
Washington's home was named, is.
sued an order from which the word
"grog" originated. His purpose
was to regulate the naval ration in
order to improve the personnel, to
remedy existing conditions and pro.
mote temperance.
The need of such reform at that
time was pronounced, for it had
long been customary to include a
liberal amount of alcoholic liquor in
sailors rations. The kind of liquor

ambitious boy or girl. They should

this means to boys and girls.
Don't let the fact that you have

ing the use of strong drinks on the
ships, but it appears that the same
rule obtains in the navies of Japan
and Russia, and that Great Britain
in all probability will adopt the same
policy at an early date. The Jap

temperate, and the Russians learned
to their own cost what sober men
can do with cool head and steady
eye. There is little doubt that the
rule will be adopted in most of the

ships were stationed; sailors in the

while wine was provided for those
in the Mediterranean and new rum
for those in the United States.
Because of the decentralization of
the men brought through over
indulgence in rum the order pro-
viding for the use of diluted liquor
was given. According to this order,
a quart of water had to be mixed
with each pint of the West Indies
beverage and the usual ration was
divided, half to be given before IL

other half to be given late in the

the interference on the part of their

MEDIATION

hard work to discredit mediation
From every point of view the offer
of Argentine, Brazil and Chile is
timely, courteous and practical. In
accepting the good Offices of these
nations, the United States only re.
iterates and emphasizes its desir,
for peace. its honest wish to help
the people of Mexico. ...
Furthermore. let nobody over
look the noteworthy fact that the
action of these South American re-
publics is significant and welcome
proof that our neighbors to the
south know US better than we have
been led to believe. .
Only few years ago observers
from South America were wont to
inform US that from the Caribbean
to the Straits of Magellan" nations
regard US with sullen distrust and
hostility, based on the fear that
the United States plans in due sea-
son to conquer and annex all of the
remaining countries to the south. F"
Two years ago John Barrett, d.
rector general of the Pan.American
Union. solemnly warned US that if
an American force were to land in
Mexico we shall begin endless war
with all Latin America and forever
lose our prestige and influence with
the countries to the south of US.
Mighty Brazil. progressive Ar

GIVE THEM A CHANCE

Ihere should De no question IN
the mind of any parent in this dis.
trict as to how he or she should vote
next Monday on the bonds for a
high school, or on the question of
selecting a site for the building and
authorizing the board of trustees to
purchase the site. The thought of
higher education for their boy or
girl at home should be uppermost
in the mind of every parent, with
the result that the election for
bonds as well as for a site and
authorization for its purchase will
be carried by overwhelming ma
jorities.
Patrons of our school who have
no children now attending school,
should be just as much interested
in the success of these elections as
the parents whose boys and girls
will benefit by the opportunity given
them to secure higher education at
home.
Only selfish motives will deny to
young boys and girls of our COM
munity their inherent right to high.
er education. and one must realize
that this opportunity is now here
and can be made a reality by the
patrons of the school voting solidly
in favor of the bonds and the site.
The building is planned, not only
for a high school. but also for the
grades, and the best and most eco-
nomical thought has been given to
the future requirements of the
school district, which is growing
rapidly and an increasing school
census each year.
This year it has been necessary in
carrying out the school work to rent
outside quarters for the primary
and manual training. There are
not rooms enough in the present
building to provide for all the grades,
and in the plan of the high school
building all the present needs have
been provided for, as we'll as the
need Of increased school room In the
near future.
The high school is needed. The
children Of this district have the
right TO expect that they can con-
tinue on from the grammar grades
into the higher courses provided by
the high school, and this opportun-
ity for higher education can be
much better secured at home.
Many parents, desirous of giving
their children the best education
possible, find that they are unable
financially to send their boys and
girls away to other places where
higher education is provided in the
schools, and the consequence Is that
boys and girls who graduate from
the eighth grade, which is really
preparatory for the high school and

EXPLORERS STONE
 FUND IN BOTTOMS
Grant County Man Finds Boulder In. scribed "1632", Believed to Mark
 Treasure Place.

Iilurn Hope, a highly respected citizen of Prattsville, tells. of finding rock in Saline river bottom, two weeks ago, which many are inclined to think marked the spot where noney was buried by early explorers, says the Sheridan Headlight.
 MT. Hope was hunting his hogs in the bottom. above J. w. Kelley's farm. near the river, when he came across q large rock of peculiar appearance. The side of the stone which was up- permost, was rough, but, upon turn ing ii over, Mir. Hope was astonishe1 to find the reverse side smooth. with the date "1632" carved upon it.
 A number of hieroglyphics on the stone, some resembling Indian ar row-heads, strengthened the belief of those who were of the opinion that the stone was put up nearly 300 years ago by early European explorers to mark the spot at which they had buried treasure. Stdll others be- liave the stone marked the spot where some explorer was buried.
 Mir. ope has the stone at his home, where many have viewed it. :.

HOW TO USE THE
 RED GROSS SEALS
Don't Place Them Over Strings on Packages Sent Through the
 pOStOffice.

Red Cross seals should, in accord ance with order Mo- 5,020 of the pos.office department, "be affixed to 'Ee reverse side of domestic mail ma,ter,' and not on the address side Of any letters or packages that are going through the mails. They may be o.aced anywhere on matter going by cypress. As many seals may be used on the back of letter or pack age as may be desired. Care should be exercised in sending merchandise through the mails not to place seals over the strings with which the pack age is tied, since this seals the pack age against inspection and subjects it to first class postage rates. Users of Etd Cross sears are cautioned ara nst their indiscriminating use on f2:t;sn mail. Red Cross seals in lo-1lal times may be used on the re- verse siae of mail matter sent to Aus trla, Germany. Great Britain and most of the British colonies, except India and Australia. Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal refuse to ad- mt mail bearing nonpostage stamps. Certain European countries will re. turn to the sender any mail bearing Red Cross seals on the address side. Naii addressed to any of the belliger- ent countries in Europe should not bear the Red Cross seal. Red Cross sea may be used or the face of ch h@"ks. on bills, on legal documents and on any commercial paper. These Christmas seals are not good for pos stage. They will not carry any mail matter. but any kind of mail matter will carry them.

TEACHING NEGROES
 HOW TO DIVERSITY
Booker Washington Suggests Ap' ointment of Negro Farm Demon stratiOn Agents to Reach
 COIOred Farmer.

Becker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee institute, writes The Graphic, as follows:
 "SCme weeks ago, through our Southern papers, l made suggestion that each negro family raise one or more additional pigs this year in order to help bring about more pros relity in the South. I have been sur Irlsed to note how well the sugges- tier has been received, and how many are following it.; one minister in Cn'tntown, Ala, went so far as to organize pig club in his church.
 eff permanent results are to be se- cured, the negro who actually culti- yates the land must be reached and trained into growing foodproducing crop. How can this be done? My answer would be, by putting a negro farm demonstration agent into every crunty of the South where there is any considerable number of negro farmers. This negro demonstration agent should be man of good com n:ol sense. He should be man who knows the characteristics of the col ored people, who knows how to reach them in and through their societies, their churches ;, and their various organizations of one kind and anoth CT. He should be a man required to travel from one farm to another throughout the country training the negro farmer how to produce food crop: Wherever these demonstration gents have already been at work in tfe South, they have done work wn.th has been most helpful and l co:rmendable.
 ":ss this important work is to be done no time should be lost in se- lect'ng these demonstration agents. The cost should not be very large. Either through county appropriations or from some part of the state funds appropriated for agricultural pur- poses, a portion of the money for the salary perhaps could be provided. Appropriations are also being made by the United States government to encourage and promote various kinds of agricultural work. Some part of this money, I feel sure, might be secured from the Smith-Lever Fund or from the United States demonstra- ton fund administered through Dr. Bradford Knapp. While 1 am not in position to suggest just where the money may be secured, I think that if an earnest effort is made, some DC. ton of it can be secured from some of the funds or agencies here mentioned.
