A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING

Why can We not have a High
School Building in knox County?
The law provides that each coun-
ty have q High School, where
boys and girls who have finished
the eighth grade and PASSED a
satisfactory examination shall
have q high School to attend
without tuition.
Why don't the people of Knox
county rise up and demand q
High School for their boys and
girls to attend. Kentucky has
made rapid progress in her edu.
! cation for the last ten years,
Knox county, as we'll as the rest
Of the counties, has been criti-
cized on account Of the graduated
scale Of illiteracy. Why not wake
up right now, citizens of Knox
county, and call for High School
Building in 1916 ready for the

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
DIGS FARMERS
u. S. Treasurer Uncarths Plot by
Minneapolis Bank TO Cut
Grain Price

The purpose OF the Federal bank
system was grossly converted to Its
own selfish interests this Fall by a
Minneapolis reserve bank as shown
by an investigation conducted by u.
S. Treasurer John Burke.
1t seems that the bank has been
charged with failure to properly ac-
quaint the Northwestern farmers
with its facilities for discounting
their commercial paper thereby en-
abling combination of national
bankers and grain operators to de-
press the price of wheat from s1.40
to 10 cents bushel by refusing
reasonable discount rates.
Charges OF Favoritism
Altho federal reserve board mem
bers declared themselves ignorant of
any protest from Northwestern farm
ers. Burke said that he had received
numerous letters from that section.
charging the Wilson administration
with favoritism in supplying the
Southern reserve banks with $780,
100000 for crop movement funds.
The letters Burke said, came as a
surprise. The persons who wrote
him, he declared. seemed unaware of
the fact that commercial paper, Sc
cured in grain shipments hel3 IN ole
vators, could be discounted at reason
able rates by a federal reserve bank.
They also alleged, according to
Burke, that the banks were charging
high discount rates to farmers who,
needing funds at harvest, had been
forced to allow their wheat to suffer
depressed prices.
Narrow Construction
Burke wrote to the federal reserve
bank at Minneapolis asking why the
federal reserve regulations permit
ting reasonable discount rates on
grain shipments had not been given
proper publicity.
Furthermore Burke declared, the
NllHutdl'OllS Jain HAS PidISu NCiy
narrow construction on the regula-
tions and apparently added material
ly to the difficulties of negotiating
the discounts actually made thru 1t.
So far did this matter go, Burke
said, that he took the matter up with
the federal reserve board, which
in turn advised the Minneapolis
bank that its construction was too
narrow.
Such an attitude on the part of the
banks officers, said Burke, is respon-
sible for the fact that the Northwest
ern farmers are now blaming the
Wilson administration with favoring
the Southern farmers at the expense
of the rest of the country.
Burke made no pretense of con-
cealing his indignation at the alleged
action of the Northwestern banking
interests

THE LUsITANIA AFFAIR

We have heard great many ex-
pressions OF opinion on the streets
since the sinking OF the Lusitania, al
most all OF them censuring Germany
some OF them violently so. A few OF
them were milder in tone. None OF
them condoned the offense, for offense
Il is. but some OF the cooler and wiser
heads prefer waiting rather than rush
ing headlong into difficulties we see
not now
It's this street talk In every city OF
tbs country that makes public opinion
and controls public actions Crystal
Falls isn't unlike other parts OF the
nation No one can excuse the action
nor the conception OF the action that
caused over 100 American lives to be
snuffed out, among them some OF our
most prominent and useful citizens.
II was murder pure and simple.
international law, just now, is the
biggest gun or most effective police
man on land or sea. It's time when
might triumphs. whether II is right or
not It's time for the citizen to think
carefully as to what the policy of this
nation should be--that of an armed and
equipped land and naval force that
will bring fear into the hearts OF the
would-be iavisher of public justice or
OF an unarmed. Inequipped supineness
that will breed occurrences such as
the sinking OF the Lustiania.

LaFrance Makes an 0fier
The aldermen didn't feel like con-
tinuing the truck discussion but Mr..
Fraser stated that he thought it only
justice to the LaFrance people that the
council make some definite agreement
with the LaFrance people about the
use OF their truck.
Mr.. Abbott stated that the LaFrance
people would accept $4,000 cash and
take the balance in deferred payments
running through three years.
well, IL that $4,000 order is drawn l
will not sign IT," said Mr. Munns, to
the suggestion that an order be drawn
in lieu of cash. That cut the Gordian
knot right in twain and then the rental
matter was taken up.
Mr. Penglase suggested that when
Mr.. Webster was seeking to put his
truck here in competition with the
Seagrave that nothing was said about
rental; that the aldermen were given
to understand that the city should
have until the Seagrave matter was
disposed of to make up their minds
and that then they would be asked to
buy the LaFrance truck
Alderman Axelson thought that the
LaFrance people were asking too much
money for their truck in comparison
(size to size) to the Seagrave truck
and he agreed with Mr.. Munns that
both trucks could be sent back and
money made by the city in the pur-
chase OF truck intimating that they
could be had at less money.
Finally Mr. Webster made pro-
position Of $3.50 per month rental on
the LaFrance truck, the rental to APP
ply upon the purchase price He was
not in position TO confirm that PROPOSE
tion and asked that the council adjourn
until Wednesday evening that he might
confer with his people in the matter
However as the next regular Is Mon
day night the council decided to walt
until Monday night to decide upon this
matter.

PEACE DAY PROCLAMATION
Nv the Governor

Peace on earth. good will to men, Is
fundamental and imperative In every
civilization that calls itself Christian
War "a a confession OF weakness, at
best necessary evil II is not yet
thing OF the past because brute in
stincts that should be regulated and
directed are allowed to run riot. War
is n destroyer; peace is builder.
There has never been a war in which
selfishness was not the direct or in
direct cause 1t therefore follows that
armament does not prevent war;
standing armies and great navies do
not prevent war. Preparation sug-
gests war Teach men the arts OF
peace, train men In the arts of peace,
and war will disappear from the face
OF the earth. Temper, unregulated Is
the vice OF vices II takes more courage
TO meet the requirements OF peace than
war. Few men are great enough to be
always kind, always just always pa
tient Most men find Il easy to be ugly,
hateful and deviIish.
This year OF all years in the history
OF the world commands us to be men,
TO be great in the arts OF peace, to know
the sacredness OF life War means the
destruction OF fatherhood and mother
hood the destruction OF home; the per-
petuation Of poverty: hell on earth
We now spend 10000, 900 a year on
preparedness for war. Isn't this the
time to spend one per cent. OF this
amount on the preparedness for peace I?
THEREFORE,. /. Woodbridge n,
Ferris, ask that the people cf Michigan
set apart Tuesday, May eighteenth. as
Peace Day Let the Grand Amy OF the
Republic, the Spanish-American War
Veterans, the Woman's Relief Corps.
the Daughters Of the American Rev
olution, the Sunday Schools, the
Churches, the Fraternai organizations
and ne people generally hold such
exercises as will stir the emotions Of
love and good viii towards all men.
