Something had TO, oe done. and Bacon
made up his mind TO act-conmisson or
no commission.
Effecting his escape from the detention
to which he had been subjected by the
stupid governor, Bacon hastily raised n
body of men. six hundred strong, marched
straight on jamestown, threw his de-
fIance in the face of the governor and
turning his attention TO the savages dealt
them the blows that cent them Keeling
from the scenes Of their devastations
and cruelties.
OF course Berkeley was greatly shocked
at Bacon's action. Mad az a March
hare, the irste old governor proclaimed
Bacon rebel" and launched against
him all the thunders of royal arsenal.
Bacon had saved the people. but he had
dared TO do this without the sanction
and assistance Of the kings representa-
tive, and for that crime he was. outlawed,

Bacon upon hearing OF the governor

kissing her husband she said to him:

Inspired by his wife's kiss and the
consciousness Of the complete justice OF
his cause, Bacon made his second march

TO be perfect is a privilege that nature

perfect. It is a pity that I'm destroying
the old town his rashness got the better
Of his judgment; but every whole man
realizes how hard II Is at times to keep
noble enthusiasm within the bounds
of decorum.
With the destruction OF jamestown
and his forces wiped out. with the spirit
OF revolt everywhere and the very founda-
tions of the royal authority shaken up
as by an earthquake. the governor was
fairly at his wits end.
But Bacon's work was rapidly nearing
It's close, The poisonous malaria germs
OF the low. flat religion were at work
IN the powerful frame OF the daring
young rebel. and on the first day of

There was no one In the Old Dominion
bis enough and brave enough to take
the dead mans place. and the rebellion
was over.
With the master spirit of the revolt

driven him, he began the work of get,

Never have fashions in clothes been

there been greater need for common

There is no more contagious disease

girls who dare refuse to wear Unbecom-

on the styles instead of weakly allowing
the styles to rule their personalities?
A real poet once gave his attention TO
the panorama of fashion and put the
proper way TO meet it simply and well.
Said he: BE not the first by whom the
new is tried, nor yet the last to cast the
old aside
That Is indeed an excellent attitude TO
take toward the new styles, hui il must
be added by judgment as 10 what Of the
new TO adopt.
Tall women, short women, thin women
and plump have ali Joined the cult Of the
tunic. How can It be that every woman,
regardless of length, breadth or thick

skirt that flares out somewhere between
knees and ankles above an underskirt

The rebel who was hanged has monu-
ments erected TO his memory. and the
political religious or economic heresy
for the preaching of which he was exc
cuted like a felon becomes the revered
gospel of mankind.
One Of such rebels was Nathaniel
Bacon. the young Virginiau. who for the
first time on American soil. threw down
the gauntlet to organized tyranny and
drew the sword in defense OF the popu-
lar rights.
Bacon had good blood IN his veins.
His father, Thomas Bacon. OF Friston
Hall, suffolk, was a kinsman of the
great Lord Bacon. His mother was the
daughter OF a Suffolk knight, Sir Robert
Brooke. The character and abilities OF
the young man were so high that almost
Immediately after his arrival in America
he was given seat in the council and
looked up 10 as one who might safely
be entrusted with the largest RESPONSE
blites.
The sequel proved that the popular
confidence was not misplaced
In the Spring OF the year 1915 band
Of Indians pounced down upon the Nir-
ginian planters, and out of the depreda-
tons OF the redskins grew "Bacon's
Rebellion" the first armed opposition
to royal authority and misrule on the
North American continent
Young Bacon, at the head Of the
mounted farmers Of the section, set out
after the savaSes, but was ordered to
dispense by Governor Berkeley, the man
whom King Charles himself called an
"old fool"
Bacon "dispersed" not until he
had given the redskins a terrible thrash
ing.
Later on Bacon was arrested. on the
ground that he had had mo commission
while dealing with the Indians. Berkeley
was willing TO have the settlers muir
dered rather than have them saved by a
man without a commission" Is to
say, without a commission signed by
himself,
In the meantime the Indians, paying
no attention to the quibbliugs OF the
governor. began 10 renew their depreds-
ton. With the ferocity hat was troubled

Authorities Plan
Better Schools

If you, Mr.. Mrs. or Miss Taxpayer
are not satisfied with the way Du-
range schools are conducted, now is
your time to offer your criticism or
you should forever hold your peace.
The school board, appreciating that
cooperation and support on the part
of parents and taxpayers is absolute
ly necessary to obtain the maximum
efficiency in the schools have given
all citizens of the city an opportunity
to criticise the work, the methods
and the teachers. In the introduction
the needs of the schools are set forth
as follows:
The average daily attendance in
our schools for the first five months
of the present school year was forty
six more than for the corresponding
months Of the school year in 1912
1913. Three rooms are so crowded
at present that another teacher
should have been employed for this
term. At the opening Of the school
in September, 1914, another grade
teacher must be employed to relieve
the crowded condition in these three
rooms and all indications point to an
increased enrolment in the High
school which will make necessary an
other teacher in English. Every room
in our school buildings are now in
use. More room is needed. The
school board is considering ways and
means Of taking care of the increas-
ing school population.
The board is especially desirious of
knowing what your ideas are in re-
gard to new buildings. A sketch of
the cottage plan as developed in
Colorado Springs is on exhibition nt
the Parsons drug store. Examine the
sketch and tell the board what you
think of it,
The list of questions attached, Ia
which citizens are request to mail q
reply to X. NJ. Murray, secretary OF
the school board, follow:
l.. Do you consider that an excel.
lent system of public schools in the
community stimulates and increase,
business as well as trains boys ant
girls to become good and useful citi
zens?
2. How much, approximately, doei
the average family living in Durango
spend per month for the ordinary ex
penses Of the home?
8. Is it desirable to improve oui
schools SO that people from the sur
rounding country will be induced t,
move into Durango for the schoo
