The when if corporation had anything say
to the people they sent hired hand, whispered it

The town crouch made this observa-
ton, ''Some people will be at their best
when their bones fertilize the earth. !"
It was a mean statement, but it ex-
pressed the feelings of many others
who have been too timid to put their
thoughts into words.

SCHOOL NEWS


to write the notes this week on
account of illness.
My, it is dreadful to see SO
many pupils absent the last fews
weeks. Guess they must like
to have their names in the
paper; so / shall not publish
their names, just to see if they
won't try to find some other
way to gain notoriety.
The Easter program given in
Miss Barrington's room Friday
afternoon was very good.
Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Malone, Mrs.
Hilla and Mrs. Rooney were
visitors in Miss Barrington's
room last week.
Mrs. Anderson and daughter,
Thelma, visited in Miss Bow
mans room Monday.
Mrs. Potter, Mrs. Anderson
and daughter, Thelma, were
visitors in Miss Sauer's room
Tuesday.
Jumping rope is now the
latest fad at school.
Wonder why some Of us are
studying so hard the last few
weeks? Perhaps it is because
we have to make up the, time
we lost the first part Of the
year.
The first year English class
has just finished reading The
Last of the Mohicans," and will
read next THE Merchant Of
Venice"
There were quite a few sour
faces last Friday when we were
told there would be school as
usual.
The ancient history class has
finished the text and is review
ing. The review will be follow
ed by a final examination.
Mr.. G. w. Tenney. one Of the
state inspectors of schools, gave
us a visit last Tuesday. At
two o'clock in the afternoon he
gave an interesting talk to the
Pupils, some of the parents, and
the school trustees. 1t is quite
probable that, as a result of Mr..
Tenney's inspection, our high
school will be placed on the ac-
credited list next year.
One reason so many of the
high school pupils will be glad
when school is out, is that they
may then resume their old
habit of chewing gum all day.
They'll certainly have to chew
pretty fast to make up for lost
time.
Oh you big ~potatoesl They
are very hard to grow here in
Teton county, but suppose we
start the plants in the house
and later transplant them?
Rose Chase has returned to
school after about two weeks of
absence. We are glad to see
you back, Rose, and during va
cation we hope you will instruct
some of us in housekeeping.

HALF MILLION Is
SPENT FOR PLOTS
That is What it Cost to Make
Alleged Attempts to Stop
Arms Shipments.
FAY's STORY IS NOT BELIEVED

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-At least
100000 has been expended in car
rying out alleged German plots in
this country in an effort to prevent
war munitions from reaching the al
lies, according to a statement made
today by one of the officials investi-
eating the cases of Robert Fay, who
claimed to be a German army lieu
tenant, and five alleged accomplices.
Federal authorities admitted today
that they considered unreliable the
lengthy story which Fay readily told
concerning his life history and &C
tivities in connection with plots
against steamships carrying NUM-
tions from this country to the allies.
Fay, 1t is said. is now believed to
be a Hungarian, whose real name is
Fell.
Federal agents are now trying to
trace the source of the large amount
of money said to have been spent by
different men in carrying out, or
attempting to carry out the various
bomb plots.

BOMB SQUAD GETS 7.
IN FIRE MYSTERY
Expect More Arrests for Many
BIazeS of Ships of the Allied

New York, Aug 30-Additional ar
rests and more serious charges than
grand larceny are expected in the
next few days as results of the police
bomb squads investigation of fires
and thefts on sugar ships destined for
tie allies.
Information In the hands of the po-
lice leads them to believe that many
others besides the seven men now un-
der arrest are involved in the alleged
conspiracy. Detectives disguised as
longshoremen now have under surveil-
lance checkers and weighers In the
employ of the steamship companies
whose vessels caught fire
The men arrested, five of them Off
GERS Of lighters and barges which car
ried sugar to the steamships, one a
second hand furniture dealer and one
other checker on the French line
pier, were each held in $4,000 bail for
further examination tomorrow.
1t is the opinion of the police and
fire investigators that In the four ves-
sels which caught fire In port here the
fire was started by bombs made Of
sulphuric acid and chloride Of potash.

Two Dead in Blasts That Gave
Wilmington Big PaniC-A
Probe viii Follow.

Wilmington. Del. Aug. 30 - Two
men werc blown TO pieces and this
city was thrown into state Of con-
sternation when two explosions which
the citizens feared was an earthquake
wrecked the Hadley yard plant Of the
Du Pont Powder company.
The terrific blasts shook houses and
shattered windows for miles around.
It was reported that suspicious
strangers had been observed in the
neighborhOod of the Du Pont plant.
This report has led to close investiga-
ton on suspicion that the destruction
of the works was plotted by spies to
reduce the supply Of black powder
manufactured here and shipped abroad
for the use of the allied armies.
The explosion was followed almost
Immediately by fire which calls for
the police and FIRE departments, and
thousands of citizens hurried TO the
scene. Neither firemen nor police
could do anything upon their arrival
All that was left of the wrecked
building was two smoldering holes In
the ground Various other nearby
buildings of the Du Pont company
were intact, and the management took
steps to safeguard these structures.
Searching the ruins the police and
irenen found the bodies Of the two
victims. who We're identified as Law
renee Cunningham and John Gillespie,
caretakers of the razed structure.

STRIKE TALK IN
BAYONNE AGAIN
Oil Men Want More Wages and
Negroes Discharged
bile Expected by the Police.

Bayonne. n. j., Aug 30.-The EN-
ployment by the Standard Oil com
pany of negro laborers at its plant
here has caused dissatisfaction among
many of the white employees and
more trouble is feared unless the com
pany discharges the negroes. This will
be demanded by the white workmen,
who are also anxious to get an eight
hour day and an additional increase
of 5 per cent in their wages.
After the strike last month, which
company granted pay increase of 10
per cent. The men had demanded Is.
1t was said that at conference of
heads of departments it was decided
to weed out the negro workers, some
of whom were brought from the south.
1t was announced that the l. w. w.
had arranged to hold a meeting to-
night at Mydosh's hall; Avenue f and
Twenty-third street, the former head
quarters of the strikers. 1t is feared
by the police that the I. w. w. leaders
may endeavor to stir up more trouble.
Chief NJ. F. Reilly said he would have
a detail of police at the meeting and
at the first sign Of disorder or attempt
to cause trouble he would clear out the
hall and If necessary arrest the l. w.
w. leaders.
Trouble is looked for at the Texas
Oil companys plant, First street and
Avenue A, Bayonne, because of the
discharge of George Blackwell, fore
man of boiler makers. A number of
the workmen went out with Black
well, and others have planned to quit.
Michael Dismid has been put in Black
wells place. About 800 men are EN-
ployed at the plant.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
CASES DECREASE IN STATE
Epooial to the EHENINa NEWs


Trenton, August 30-According to
a report issued today by the State
Department of Health, the total num-
ber of cases of communicable dis
eases reported during the month oil
July was 1880, decrease of 434
from the number reported during the
preceding month and a decrease OF
154 from the reports received in
July, 1914.
The total number of cases report
ed from Middlesex county was as
follows: Typhoid fever, 8; diphthe-
ria IT, scarlet fever, 6; tuberculosis
23; chiekenpox, 4 malaria, 1.
Reports of 128 cases of typhoid
fever were received during the
month, which is sixty-six more than
were reported in the preceding
month, and forty-nine less than the
number reported in July, 1914. Es-
sex county led, with its twenty-four
cases, Hudson coming next with its
sixteen cases, the remaining number
being distributed in small numbers
throughout the other counties.
The state board states that the in
dications are that the month of Au-
gust will show quite an increase in
the typhoid fever morbidity rate, due
in part to the epidemic at Cranbury,
where more than thirty cases have
occurred.
tuberculosis showed a slight fall
ing off, the number of cases being
748, compared with 793 for the pre-
ceding month. 1t was an increase
over July, 1914, however, when the

against $50 for the preceding month,
and 439 for the month of July,

PRESIDENT PUTS
TWO ON BAD LIST
His Personal ENJOYS, House
and Lind, Lose Favor
Break is on Gen. Carranza.

Washington. Aug. 3O-The displace-
ment of Colonel E. VI. House Of Texas
and New York as chief III Wilson's un-
official cabinet is stirring interest here.
Colonel House and the president have
broken over the formers espousal Of
the claims to recognition presented by
General Carranza, head of the Consti-
tutionalist party in Mexico
For some weeks 1t has been rumored
In Washington that Colonel House no
longer had the influence at the execu-
tive mansion which he had enjoyed up
to the time of his return from his
peace trip to Europe.
Verification of these rumors comes
from high official sources.
Although he has never held a place
In the Wilson administration, and, in
fact. although he has never even been
rendered an Office by President Wilson,
Colonel House up to two months ago
was the presidents most intimate ad-
wiser.
Es- Governor Lind Also In Disfsvor.
Along with the break between
Colonel House and the president over
the recognition of CarranZa there was
break between John Lind, former
governor of Minnesota and the presi-
dents first personal envoy to Mexico,
over the same proposition.
Lind Is known to have urged the
president that the only solution of the
Mexican situation which would not be
accompanied by armed intervention or
further fighting between factions was
the recognition of Carranza.
The break between the president
and Colonel House Is causing much
discussion here. The Texan, who made
his money during the oil boom, was
enc of President Wilson's chief finan-
ctal hackers during the preconvention
fight in 1872 After the election he
became chief mentor of the admins
tration
House has named more cabinet Off
GERS probably than any other man In
the history of the country who did not
occupy the position of president of the
United States
