SCHOOL. IMPROVED

Snanges Tor the Better IN
School.
1t was during the administration of
frof. Abrams that the idea of organ
1zlng civic association wes sug-
gested by him. The bare suggestion
was enough for that peerless and tire
less community worker, Mrs. j. G.
DuckWorth. She talked and worked
ana agitated until she got together
enough women to organize. This, how
ever as an organization, was o failure.
In the meantime. Mrs. Duckworth and
her co-worker Mrs. Breazeale, went to
work along civic lines. determined to
win prize. for the Lebanon school.
AcGordingly, they decided to- have a
school park. For this purpose Mrs.
i'reezeale gave plot of ground mid
way between the school house and the
spring. BY dint of hard work, and
getting little work from the men and
persuading tho school children to lend
hand, the park began to develop.
Some kind OF pavilion seemed to be
necessary part of park 4 sre was
no fund from which to draw, so Mrs.
Duckworth, at her own expense, had q
large and comfortable pavilion built.
The name Lebanon School Park"
In large black letters on a white
ground, was hung over the lower en-
trance. Some Of the boys contributed
rustic bird houses and bridges. A coll
lection was taken and enough money
raised to buy a good swing. Scattered
here and there were flower beds and
mounds. 1
This park secured a prize of fifty
dollars in the school. About this
time Mrs. Duckworth became i'll and
had to give up public service. But
Mrs. Breapeale was faithful anG kept
things going until the fall Of 1918.
At this time Mrs. Maggie Darlington
supervisor OF rurol schools, came UP
to the opening Of the school. She asked
the ladies to organize q school im-
provement association. After explain
ing its, pnrpse, the ladies' became quite,
enthusiastic and proceeded at once to
elect officers as follows: Mrs. A. j.
Smith, president; HRS. J. e. gmith;
vice-presidents and Mrs. D. M.i Craig.
secretary. and treasurer. A program
was arranged and the time of meeting
|=;sasss; "a; &C be each Friday afternoon be-
fore the first Sunday.
The first work the association did
was to secure q janitor and have the
school house thoroughly swept at
least once a day. For, this purpose each
pupil paid ten cents per month.
The main purpose OF the. associa-
.ica sccn became apparent: and that
was to make money. To this end 1t
was not a. great success. However, by
the help Of our good friend, Capt. Tay-
lor, the auction netted something over

old saying that figures won't lie but
liars will figure. You can apply this
any way you please after reading
the advertising claims of the Tribune
and Herald.
The Herald claims to have made
phenomenal advertising gains during
the month of November, while the
Tribune and Examiner were making
losses. The Herald claims to have
gained 574.66 columns over Novem-
Der, 1913, while the Tribune lost
147.49 and the Examiner lost 266.85.
Compiling its statement from the
same figures the Tribune claims that
it lost 147.49, the Examiner '266.85
and the Herald 253.28 columns; the
difference between the two state
ments being that the Herald claims
it gained 574.66 columns in Novem-
Der, 1914, over November, 1913,
while the Tribune claims the Herald
LOST 253.28 columns.
The Herald gives the total Herald
advertising for November, 1913, as
1,499.O7 and the total for November,
1914, at 2,O73.73. If these figures
are correct then the Herald's claim
of a GAIN of 574.66 is correct also.
But the Tribune gives the Herald
total for November, 1913, as the to-
tai advertising of both the Record
Herald and the Inter-Ocean, which
was 2,331.01 columns, which would
make the Trib's claim of a Herald
loss of 253.28 correct.
This would indicate that the Her
aid had been Juggling the figures
bit by starting with the Record-Her-
AIDS total for November, 1913, and
leaving the Inter-Ocean advertising
out of the count for that month.
AS the Herald is a consolidation of
the Record-Herald and the Inter
Ocean an honest comparison would
take into account the total advertis-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-02

The totals for the last month as
given by the Tribune show, however,
the relative strength of the three pa
pers as to advertising published.
Those totals are as follows: Tribune,
3,775.25; Herald, 2,077.73; Examiner,
2,06405 These figures indicate that
the Tribune published almost as
much advertising in November, 1914,
as the Herald and Examiner COM
bined.
The losses by all three papers are
not surprising. Business depression
is the answer. The noteworthy fea-
ture of this boasting, however, is
that none of the papers makes any
claim for having done anything for
it's readers. Both appeals are to adj
vertisers. That's what they live off
of. It's what they are after. It's
why they don't amount to much as
public organs.

experience. which proves that the small

ot the system being a second Frisco was
absurd. He requested that the brokers
buy AT the market 20 shares OF Rock
Island preferred and draw on n GER
tain bank in his town for the amount.
The order was duly executed. and after
a day or so of delay caused by late de-
livery the certificates were shipped with
draft attached. Meanwhile tho stock
had dropped rather sharply. which sup
piled AN obvious reason for the return a

wondering whether IL is worth tho trouble

The present difficulties Of the Rumely

confidence on theNpnrt OF the FORMER man

pany is now suffering from the burdens

that one Of the acts Of the ex-president
which lives after him was the making
OF long term contracts with number
of factories which supplied the various
parts OF the finished product OF the
Rumely company. The filling OF these
contracts supplied tho company with the
materials much faster than 1t could get
rid OF the finished product until finally
when sales began to fall OF. owing TO
