 Just about the time the sign was lighted an alarm of fire was turned in, and the streets were at once alive with anxious citizens hasten ing to Second and Main, at point the fire whistle indicated trouble for the fire laddies.

 The school system to the social economist is an instrument like any other social construction. Education conceived as the means of carrying civilization forward, as the conscious link between the generations of work CTS and users of wealth, must do at least these things: Pass on the in- formation, make the mind and body fit instruments of satisfying the wants of mind, encourage those habits and instincts which economize power and promote the social welfare
 Put in terms of social problems, the school must aid in preventing poverty by making men more efficient. in pre- venting disease by making men well and strong, in preventing crime by making men law abiding in spirit and instinctively aware of the rights of others and in preventing violence by inoculating against self righteousness and brutality.

Education may be taken as a very broad term for the entire conscious process of passing on from one gen. eration to another the accumulated treasures, the acquired capacities, of the race. So conceived, it touches every age, but childhood is it's special province-the period marked by na- ture as peculiarly adapted to this process.
 If, therefore, the social structure is to be sound and suitable, childhood must have it's chance, must have time enough to perform it's function, must not be cheated of it's debt, expected

Within the twinkling of an eye last night, Yuma was transformed from a desert village into a wide-awake, progressive city!
 The big steel bridge that spans the mighty Rio Colo rado was a blaze of glory from dark until after mid night, during which time 10000 eyes, dancing with de- light at this wonderful trans formation, gazed on the big "Ocean-to-Ocean Highway Yuma" electric sign, and marveled that such a sign has

President Wilson declared yester
day he was not thinking of announc-
ing his candidacy for 1916 when he
made the statement in his Indianap-
oils speech that the people of the
United States might have a chance
to Judge of his acts.
His utterance was interpreted by
the audience and by others at the
time as hint that he might be a
candidate for denomination. The
president explained to callers that
what he had in mind that future
generations would pass upon his act
as president. The president refused
absolutely to discuss the question OF
being candidate. Efforts were
made to get expression of impression
from him on the one term plan OF
the Baltimore convention but Mr..
Wilson shook his head and refused
to answer questions. He said that
he could not talk about himself.

HUGO Ii. KOCH COMING.
In "The Call of the Cumberlands'
at the Grand Jan. 80.

One of the most popular dramas
TO visit the Grand in a long time is
booked for Saturday night, Jan. 80.
The following concerning the play
is taken from the Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader, where the play re-
Gently pleased a large audience.
An interested audience last night
witnessed the performance of THE
Call of the Cumberlands'' which Is
playing at the Berchel. The specta-
tors couldn't fail to sit up and take
notice of bloodhounds and rifle shots
and impassioned speeches which set
mems hearts on fire.
The piece tells the story of the
feud between the Souths and the
Hollmans in the Kentucky noun
tains. Samson South is at the head
of his clan since his fathers murder
by the Hollmans. He is in love with
Sally Miller, a simple, affectionate,
barefoot mountain girl. A New
York artist appears on a sketching
expedition and persuades South to
go with him to the city and study
painting, for which it appears he has
considerap. talent.
The mountain folk are not at all
partial to the idea and he departs
against the wishes of his relatives.
He leaves with Sally, however, a let
ter which should be sent him should
he ever be needed in the mountains.
After about five years in New York,
during which he has learned to paint
and almost to love his artist friends
sister, he receives the letter, which
is the outward sign of the call of the
Cumberlands The feud has broken
out again. He leaves everything he
has learned to like in the city ana
answers the call. After some hard
fighting off stage the Hollmans are
routed and he enfolds Sally in his
arms.
Hugo B. Koch, who is also the
author of the dramatization, did
creditable work as Samson South
andes Miss Marie Dunkle, was quite
up to- standard as Sally Miller.

COST OF OILED STREETS.
Streets Free From Dust At All
Times.

1t will cost about $365 for each
60 foot city lot to secure a well
built, oiled dirt road under the aver
age conditions in Iowa's cities and
towns, according to estimates which
have been worked out by the techni-
cal service 4. bureau at Iowa State
college. Such road will be free
from dust and will stand up we'll un-
der average service.
1t is figured that if a dirt road IS
graded in fair condition, as it should
be whether oiled or not, that some
cleaning will be necessary prior to
the oiling, which will cost 80 to so
cents for each 60 foot lot on a 25
foot street. Applying the oil, includ-
ing hauling it and some sand for COW
ering the oil coat, is figured at ap-
iproXimately $500 per lot. The cost
of the oil will be about $1.00 per lot,
and the cost of the sand, % cents
per lot. This will bring the total
for each so foot lot on each side of
the street to 1855.
Surface oiling of city streets" is
sent without charge by the techni-
cal service bureau, Iowa State col
lege, to those who write for it,

South omaha's Attitude.

Up TO the time OF the consolidation vote no
one could seriously complain Of the opposition,
no matter how mistaken, manifested by South
Omaha officials who may have convinced them
selves that they we're representing the wishes of
the people who had put them in office. But
when the returns OF the election disclosed an
overwhelming majority OF South Omaha voters
recorded for the merger, the last legitimate
excuse was removed for further antagonism by
the office-holding brigade. From that moment
their continued obstruction became not an effort
to carry out the wishes OF their constituents, or
TO protect the interests OF their city, but merely
a selfish scheme 20 hold themselves on the pay
roll or to deliver the goods to favored con-
tractors
With the pretense that the people OF South
Omaha do not want to be annexed smashed to
smithereens. is It not high time to call off the
fight against completion of the merger? II the
South omaha payrollers think they can by their
indefensible actions force Omaha TO buy them
off by giving them other lucrative city jobs, IL
seems to us they are going about It the wrong
way

Iowa Democrats Lining Uu Again.

Des Moines was the scene on Tuesday OF an
interesting spectacle, when the assembled dem
ocrats pledged anew their faith and fealty, and
broke ground for the 1915 proceedings. One
OF the real Joys OF life is to see the Iowa demo-
Gratis lining up for national campaign. The
pomp and circumstance OF the process is most
impressive, and an outsider might be fooled into
thinking IL meant something. Those who are
familiar with Hawkeye history sometimes ad-
mire the faith, while they smile at the iudg-
ment OF these devoted democrats.

lead them into more than local light. When

fled thought they had found their Moses. Bryan
smote down the Boies boom with his cross OF

Bryan, and is again happy in It's leaderless con-
dition. It's faith IL pledged to Woodrow Will
