School.

Mr. Elliff, the Univerity In
spector of High Schools visited
Jasper High, School the 10th in
slant, spending the full day in
carefully examining class recita-
ton and note books. Late in the
afternoon he spoke to the students

passed some very nice compli-
ments on the school,
He says that the students are
clearly doing first class work; that
the library and laboratory are
fully equipped; and that our maps
are perfectly satisfactory for his
tory work. In fact, he says that
he finds nothing wrong and shall
recommend that our school be
placed on the first class list; that
is, make it a fully accredited high
school.
This means, for the first time in
Our history, that, students can
enter the University, any of our
normals, or any high school in
the state as we'll from Jasper as
from Car thage, Webb City or
Joplin,
We should be the prouder of
our school, when We know that so
few towns of our size have first
class schools.
We are justly proul that the
patrons, students, teachers, and
directors, have all cooperated to
bring this about. We have en-
joyed three years of nearly peri, CT

" My Ideal in Life. ="

THE following papers were

My Ideal OF a man is he who
can adjust himself to his surround
ings, and do something for himself
and society. A great many peo
pie consider man who can make
money good ideal man. l do
not think this quite right, for a
m.n is placed in this world to d }
good, and TO help theirs do good.
For instance, take Washington
and Lincoln; they are two good
examples of ideub-men. They did
something for the world. and if we
had more Of such men the society
of this nation would be greatly
benefited.
A rich man is not to be con-
demned, if he uses his money in a
way to help himself and to the
betterment Of his fellowmen. The
itch are usually ambitious, and

Taunt Roused Soldiers.

Frederick the Great was the author
of certain characteristic sayings, but
none more SO than that which he ut
tered at the battle of Kclin, when his
troops were wavering under a fierce
fire. Dogs" he jeered, would ye
live forever" A taunt whose harsh
ness was justified only by it's success.
The Jasper news., 1914-02-25

that is a characteristic We all
should have, and which most of
us do have.
A man should not. seek happi.
ness tor his own personal benefit.
He should strive to make Others
happy, and if man tries to make
Others happy, and to help them
along in society, he himself will
be happy as we all know fromsour
own experience,
Therefore my ideal of a man is
the one who adjusts himself SO as
to deal with the great problems of
life; one who is happy, and makes
Others happy; one who is rich, and
does good with his riches, and last
of all one who is just to himself
and just to his fellowmen.

My Ideal is to be of some use to
my fellowmen In order to attain
this goal one does not have to be
rich. Shakespeare says, "All that
glitters is not gold" 1t is evident
that wealth is of benefit to man in
some ways but wealth cannot buy
happiness. To be happy one
must have friends. Can wealth buy
friendsl l realize that it is good
to have plenty-to live 10 luxury
but would not sell what possess:
Youth, health and an opportunity.
to obtain all the riches of the world.
And how may be of some use to
my fellow men? BY setting good
examples for them; by doing TN.
to others as | would have others
do unto me-" and by loving my
neighbors as myself"
We often reach our goals but
when one is reached we see before
US another and we set forth again
with renewed vigor. But could a
man ever feel that he was done doing
good for his fellow menu | say mol
Ever alter lie is dead he may leave
something b. hind him that will be
of some good TO the generations
that follow.
Has Shakespeare's influence on
the world ever died3 Has Milton'sf

these mems lives had so much in
fluence upon the world1 Was it
because they were rich? No! 1t
was because their ideals were, not
to gain wealth, but to be of some
use to the world.
So 20 day, if | were asked what
my ideal is l would say, ITO do
something that will help my fellow
men, If when had realizes my
ideal and had at last been counted

hope that some friend can speak
as honorable an eulogy of me as

The Ideal of my life is to work
toward goal that will be full of
happiness. All great men and
women have goal toward which
they strive. Mr., Lincoln. one of
the greatest men of history. had
for his ideal the immortal Wash.
ington. He strove to become like
his ideal, which he did. History
affords us many noble examples of
men and women, of true honor,
craftsmanship and character.
How true are the wordslpf ) Mr..
Longfellow, when he said. 1.-THE
lives of great men all, remind US,
we can make our lives sublime,
and departing leave behind us
foot prints on the sands of time. !"
The lives and characters of these
great American citizens make the
ideal which | hold before me.
These men reached the goal of
their ambitions, and in so doing
received much happiness.
So with the people of to day,
when they fashion their lives after
their worthy ancestors, they will
receive happiness, when they at

LIFT EMBARGO ON
NEUTRAL EXPORTS
Scandinavian Countries Will
Permit Shipments to Pass
Over Their Borders.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice. the British ambassador,
today notified the state department
that an agreement had been made
with Denmark, Norway and Sweden
that goods destined for neutral con-
sumption only will pass freely into
these countries If consigned to special
persons with certificates of guarantees
against re-exportation.
The agreement brings to a satisfac-
tory close negotiations which have
been carried on for some time between
Great Britain and the commercial in
terests of the United States and the
scandinavian countries. Representa-
tions have been made through the
state department for some time for
the purpose of restoring normal con-
ditions in North Atlantic sea traffic.
The interruption of transshipment of
petroleum from Hamburg and the in
ability to secure it from southeastern
Europe has made 1t embarrassing for
Denmark especially, and a gasoline
famine was threatened.
Similar conditions in Norway and
Sweden, brought about by the deten-
ton of ships, destination of whose
progress was questioned by Great
Britain, have brought forth a. number
of protests, and the state department
has been flooded with demands of
American manufacturers that this
government secure from England
some sort of a guarantee that neu-
traI shipments could be assured of
safe delivery.

Light Snow Fall
i'm Western Essex

Early risers in West Caldwell and
Pine Brook saw the first real snow
of the season this morning. Although
it looked like a heavy frost it was
found to be a light snow that fell
during the night.
When the heavy clouds gathered
early last night the farmers of West
ern Essex and Morris counties felt
relieved, as they thought the con-
tinued dry weather was near an end.
but their hopes were only short-lived
as very little rain fell during the
night.
Considerable damage has been done
to the water supply of that section
by the continued dry weather and a
number Of wells have gone dry. A
large spring on the farm of J. Will
son Van Duyne. at Montville, which
for fifty years has supplied the farm
with water for all purposes has gone
dry. Water must be pumped from
the Passaic river for use In the barns.
There is also a large well ON the
property but this Will not hold out

WARSH|PS
REPORTED ON WAY
TO PANAMA CANAL
Liner Says She Saw Dread
nought on Way TO Avenge
chiIian Defeat.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Panama
canal may be put TO the usages Of
war for the first time should reports
which reached New York today prove
true. Seven British warships were
said to be on their way TO the
canal presumably to proceed to the
Pacific coast TO avenge the defeat
of the British fleet of cruisers by
German warships.
The news of the warships was
brought here by the crew of the
steamer Campista, which arrived to-
day from Brazilian ports. They were
seen between Rio Janeiro and Per-
nambuea. The ship also reported
seeing a French cruiser off French
Guiana.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-whether
a fleet of British dreadnoughts can
pass through the Panama canal will
depend upon the size of the vessels.
Last advices from Governor Goet-
halls reported thirty feet of
water in the channel through the
recent slide in Culebra cut. Heavier
ships could not make a passage IN
that depth.
The Panama canal is open to YES
sells of war of all nations, the only
condition is that they shall not re-
main in the canal longer than is nee
essary to make the passage, nor In
either of the terminal ports beyond
the time necessary to take on coal
or supplies.
The cost of moving a fleet of big
ships through the waterway will be
considerable. The established war.
ship toll is fifty cents per dfsplace-
ment ton Allowing the British yes
sells to be the average size of the
European dreadnoughts the bill
would be about sSI500.
The British squadron would be the
first of European belligerent ships
to pass through the waterway.
