GREAT NEED FOR MORE SCHOOL.
ROOM IN MADISON.

The central building was original
ly meant for a six-roomed grade
building, accommodating thirty 10
forty pupils. Up to five years ago
two rooms were used in the third
story. one for the chemical labora-
tory and n for a general recitation
room. During the past five years the
board has taken the closets out of
the basement to make DON for the
manual training work, converted the
chemical laboratory into a kitchen
and finished a small room adjacent
to it for a sewing room; made two
rooms for commercial work out of
the general recitation room and fin
ished a room for an agricultural and
natural science laboratory. There
is now no more room left that could
be furnished in the building.
The superintendent moved his of
fee into & cloak room 20 make an
extra recitation room. The only place
that could be found for a principals
office was to take a part of Q small
supply room. We are now no | ne
regular classes in the kitchen, in the
sewing room, in the commercial
room, in the laboratory, and in the
little church diagonally across from
the building. We have to use a little
cloak room for a reading room, the
stairway landings for a library, and
the halls for cloak rooms. There Il
no place for carrying out any of the
extra high school activities-like q
place to work on the annual, a place
for debating, a place for consulta.
tions and special study and so on
There is no place for assembly into
which we can get more than a thirc
of the central school enrolment. anc
then ii would be crowded.
In this building that was original,
meant for about 225 pupils, or sil
grades, each having all of its work IN
one room, we are now endeavoring Il
carry on a modern grade and higl
school with all its special and depart
mental work, handling about 420 diff
ferent pupils every day. All Of thu
work of the high school grades prop
err with nearly 200 students. the SAM
of the seventh and eighth grades
with over 100 students. and the spe
cial work of the fifth and sixth grade
with more than 125 pupils.
If any voter in Madison doubt
that there is great need for NOR
school room, such person is cordial,
invited to visit the Central buildinI
while school II IN session.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April 14.-Special:
Les Aparges, occupied on April 8 by
the French after a series of desperate
engagements costing countless lives,
has again come under the fire of the
German guns. 1t was around this
point that the Germans, according 10
a French official report. lost $4,000
men in two months fighting. 1t is
here that Gen. Joffre the French
commander, is bringing his strength
TO bear on the German wedge to force
il out of the allies side. so that the
allied line that stretches in front of
the fortress OF Metz may be straight
ened.
After a lull of two days the Ger
mans prepared for their counter at
tack on Les Aparges by a severe bonn
bardment and a heavy rifle fire; then
in the early hours OF the morning
they advanced on the positions which
the French had made even stronger
than when the Germans held it, but
were obliged to retire. The extent
OF this offensive is not known, but 1T
has been reported hal the Germans
look upon this position, which com
mands the plain of the Woevre, as
one of the greatest importance.
Otherwise the situation in the
western war zone is of comparatively
little interest, owing TO the general
calm that prevails.
In the east, although the Russians
have occupied the principal positions
i'm the western sections of the Car
pathians. there is one height, known
as Height 992. which they have not
been able TO master. Nevertheless
they. are reported TO be moving down
the western slopes, and in a fair way
TO make an advance into Hungary.

CIGARET LAW FAILS
SIOIN FALLS DEALERS SELLING
THE "MAkIN'S' AND FINISH
ED PRODUCT OPENLY.

Sioux Falls. April 14-Cigarets
and the amakin's'' went on sale in
Sioux Falls openly yesterday and
dealers their intention 10
test the state law if they are called
TO accoun for selling the material
for this form of indulgence in the
tobacco habit.
The sale of cigarets has been Ia
booed in South Dakota ever since
1909. when a state law was passed
prohibiting selling cigarets or papers
or tobacco intended to be used IN
making them. Under this law minors
we're prohibited from smoking ciga-
rets and their use in any pubic
place is made unlawful. Recent de-
cisions in some other states holding
a%nticigaret laws unconstitutional
have raised a doubt OF the lhtalll-
bility of the law in South DAKOTA.
A Mitchell municipal court Judge mas
held the law void in a case brought
in that city. AS a result Mitchell
dealers are selling cigarets II Sioux
Falls tobacco stores have decided 10
axe a chance until a decision OF the
supreme court settles the matter one
RA -
way or the other.
One feature of the law which VIII
be attacked is the provision against
selling tobacco to be used IN maklhs
cigarets. Dealers state that almost
n smoking tobacco they sell can be
used in cigarets, and they have no
means of knowing how 1T Will De
used. If they obeyed the law literal
lv they can not sell any smoking to-
bacco. They claim this provision
alone makes the law invalid. They
denv any intention or desire to sell
to minors.
Asked for a statement, Attorney
General Caldwell said:
II will be glad to test the law as
soon as | can get sufficient evidence
against some violator. The law mas
stood for six years and anyone sell
ing cigarets will be liable to arrest.
Two bills were before the legisla'
ture last winter seeking to change the
present anticigaret laws. One woulo
make the law more drastic, prohibit
ing any one from smoking eigarets
and the other sought to modify the
act making il apply only to the salt
IA minors. Neither of these bill'
passed.
AS a result of the Mitchell case o.
some other action that may OF
brought in Sioux Falls, the matter
will undoubtedly be taken before th'
supreme court Of the state Tor a de
cision.

in Peril AT SEA
FORMER MADISON LADY ABOARD
THE UL-FATED MINNIE
sofa.

The Minneapolis Journal gives the
following account of the peril of a
former Madison lady on board the ill
fated Minnesota which ran ontc
rocks i'm Japanese waters. The sub
iect of the story will be remembered
in Madison as Miss Florence Hoffin,
formerly a member of the faculty OF
the State Normal school:
For the second time within sever
months. Mrs. Horace Garner Reed.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.. X. Hof-
fin. Minneapolis, has been in peril of
her life at sea. 1t was learned today
that she was one OF the passengers
on the Great Northern liner Mime
sofa, which ran onto the rocks near
the entrance of the Inland sea Sun
day night. while il was OF its way
from Nagasaki TO Kobe. Japan. For
four days last September the boat on
which Mrs. Reed was going 10 meet
her sister. Miss Elizabeth Hofnin, at
Kobe, was driven before one of the
hercest typhoons of which there was
record. In both cases she escaped
safely after thrilling experiences.
Mrs. Reed is the wife of Horace
G.. Reed, an attorney in Manila. They
met while attending the University
of Minnesota and were married two
years ago. Mrs. Reed took passage
on the Minnesota TO visit her parents
here for the first time since h went
TO Manila. Mr.. and Mrs. Hofflin re-
ceived a cable message that she was
leaving on the stranded vessel. but
after learning of the wreck they had
hopes that She was not on board.
They learned today that her name
was on the passenger lists and that
she was safe.
At the time of her experience in
the typhoon. Mrs. Reed wrote of -four
DAYS during which crew and passen-
gers of the boat had given up hope
of escaping from the fury of the
storm. The boat was driven hun
dreds Of miles out Of its course. and
many members of the crew were in.
iured in their attempts to keep il
from laundering.
Mrs. Reeds parents have not heart
from her directly since the acciden
TO the Minnesota.

BOARD OF HEALTH
BUSINESS OF QUARTERLY STATE
MEETING TRANSFERRED TO
SIOUX FALLS.

The quarterly meeting of the state
board of health appointed to be held
in Madison this week was transferred
to Sioux Falls after a one day session
here, and DR.. w. f. Daniels, presi-
dent of the board, went to Sioux
Falls by the morning train TO join
his associates. The reason for the
change was that most of the members
of the board are Shriners and desired
TO attend the Shrine meeting in Sioux
Falls last evening and upon solicita-
ton Pres. Daniels consented TO the
change. The visiting members of the
board departed for Sioux Falls last
evening. expecting to arrive in time
for the Shrine festivities.
During their session in Madison
yesterday the board inspected sani-
tary conditions at the State Normal
school buildings and found every
thing TO their satisfaction except ven
tilation. The only building provided
with proper ventilation facilities is
the gymnasium, all other buildings
being dependent upon doors and win
dows for ventilation. The buildings
were all found to be in excellent con-
dition from the viewpoint of cleanli-
ness. and the board especially com
mended the matron of East Hall for
the scrupulous cleanliness and ex
cellent upkeep of that institution.
The board inspected the sewer dis
posal plant and here they found much
cause for complaint. DR.. Ashcroft
of Deadwood, who has specialized on
sewage disposal from a sanitary
standpoint, remarked off-hand that
the disposal plant was only about 10
per cent efficient. According to the
board a large percentage of the sew
age does not enter the septic tank at
all, but OVeriloWs at the entrance on
ccoun of inferior piping facilities.
Leaving the septic tank the sewage
is dumped upon the filtration bed in
a body instead of being led by grad
uating pipes and then allowed to
spread upon the filtration bed from a
central point. This is caused by
broken pipes and otherwise. After
leaving the filtration bed the sewage
is far from being purified and re
mains a filthy mess on the oper
ground outside the plant. Member;
of the board stated that the plant
was in an exceedingly bad condition
at the present time. and gave it a.
their opinion that unless conditions
were improved soon the plant woul'
be wholly worthless within a yer,
few years.
This is an unfortunate state of at
fairs in view of the fact that thu
Madison public W has been in u.s.
less than three years.
The state board of health does no
possess authority TO condemn or or
der improvements made in sewe
plants of otherwise, their only re
course being TO report conditions {,
} the governor, who in turn lays mat
: tiers Of this kind before the legisla
T lure in session for their correction
However. the board suggested tina
' the Madison sewage disposal plan
= should be placed in proper working
condition at the earliest possible mo
S ment in the interest of health an
: economy. And further suggeste
/, that a competent man should be EN-
a powered TO inspect the plant at leas
!. weekly and see to it that II is KEEP
e in proper condition for the work ii

The situation is beyond our control: AS

"As il now stands, Israel itself stands

he will answer in kind-more than IN

Watson Will be answered in kind

time will come when he will tell the
people of the State of Georgia that the
