to find accommodations for the in
creased number of pupils. Some ad-
ditional room has been provided for
by installing the manual training de-
partment In the old school house, ana
1t is probable that one of the grades
will have to be taken into the old

should be the case an additional teach
er will have to be employed.

Manager Earring has surprise which
he IL going to spring on the people
Who visit the fair. He is very guard
ed In speaking about II. lest the secret

the surprise is in some way connected
with the exhibit OF grains and grasses.
II is not generally known that there
has been some work done I'm this
county In the way OF improving our
grain by developing a better quality
for seed, or possibly In originating
new varieties. Frank Kluck is ono
OF the men working along this line,
and 1t is possible that his secret may
be new variety, or an Improvement
on those with which we are familiar.
OF such q pronounced nature as To- be
thing OF Importance. Whatever Il
may be, Mr.. Earring says Il is extra
ordinary and something which he will
take great satisfaction In bringing to
the attention cf the farmers of the
county. IL is known that he is pre-
pairing exhibits OF this product which
will be sent to San Francisco, Denver.
and Wichita. and that he has great
faith that It will carry off honorS
wherever shown. He has spent Z
great deal of time in preparation for
the fair and wears q look which in
dicates satisfaction with the rcsults

LONDON EDITORS.
GIVE MUCH SPACE
TO AIR ATTACKS

London. Sept. 15.-(215 P. M).-Tlie
London newspa pers, both editorially and
in letters to the editor, are giving an
increased amount of space to the recent
air raids on this city. Two general lines
of comment are adopted, one of gratitude
at the appointment of Sir Percy Scott to
take charge of the defence of London
from aerial attacks; the other sarcastic
criticism that some similar steps have
not been taken before.
1T is getting rather hard to keep up
with the Zeppelin visits" says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Lately they seem To
have taken place every night. There was
another on the night of the 18th, and
maybe later in the day we shall hear of
a raid last night. Remembering the
raids have come off. We are apt to forget
the failures. We are inclined to believe
that only a little extra luck enabled the
invader TO slip through a week ago"
The Globe is arranging a mass meeting
to demand reprisals. so that every raid
over an English town shall be answered
by one over a German town.
Count Won Reventlows pleas for great
er vehemence in the air attacks on Lon

The heavy guns continue their bonn

the Vosges another battle is in progress

According to dispatches from Holland
the British warships again have attack

coast. Air raids by allied airmen on
towns now occupied by the Germans and
by Zeppelins on England are daily oc-
currences.
Latest dispatches from Vienna indicate
that no Official information is at hand

GERMAN WRITER

FROM LONDON

Berlin. Sept. Is, Via London, II %
A. M.-Count Won Reventlow. the naval
writer, replies in the Tages Zeitung,
today, to British criticisms of German
airship raids over London. He states
that London is a fortress and that Sir
Percy Scott, the newly appointed de-
fender of the city from aerial attacks.
should order the civil population of
London to depart.
The count asserts that Germany is
not responsible for the fact that the
fortress of London. attacked many
times. has not been evacuated, and
states that the failure of the British
government to order the people to
abandon it shows 'distainful disre-
gard for the principles Of humanity,

ventlow insists. are legal. and Of a
