Mrs. Stoner acknowledges her in
debtedness to the late Prof. William
James of Harvard for her first ideas Of
child training He believed that every
child has hidden ideas which can be

But what about the old things we

COUNTY TO FEED
PRISONERS IN
CONVICT CAMPS
BOARD ADOPTS THIS PLAN AND
NAMES COMMITTEE TO LOOK
AFTER PURcHAsEs-AssisT IN
DEMONSTRATION.

One of the important matters con-
sidered by the board of county com
missioners last night was the feed of
convicts, and it was decided after con-
siderable discussion to commence the
policy OF retrenchment by feeding all
convicts employed on county road
work, instead of paying the road sup
erintendent stipulated amount for
their board. In this manner the board
calculated there would be a consider
able saving. 1t was decided not to
reduce salaries of those employed, but
to cut expenses by other methods, and
in this connection it was ordered that
camps Nos. 3 and 4 be consolidated
and one grader operated in districts
and 5. A committee composed of
Chairman Baggett and Commissioners
Baggett and Davis was named to make
arrangements for supplies for the
camps
When the board convened Chairman
Barrineau presided and Commission
ers Baggett, Davis, Tracey and White
were present.
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, composed of President
Dobson and Messrs. LilIard and Phil
lips appeared and requested assistance
in, continuing the farm demonstration
work, which had been such a vast help
to the farmers of the county during
the past few years. After some dis
cussion the board voted to appropriate
$43.75 per month for the employment
of S. w. Hiatt as tick eradicator, pro-
vided such an expenditure is legal
The notary public bond of G. c.
Richards was approved, also the bond
of F. r. Pou for burial of paupers.
A letter was received In regard to
the poor condition of bridge in dis
trict No. 8. 1t was referred to Com
missioner Davis.
The Journal was designated as the
paper in which the delinquent tax list
shall be published.
The report of the inspector of marks
and brands was received and filed.
Commissioner Baggett was instruct
ed to have the Jail at Century put in
repair.
The board ordered warrant for
$3.50 drawn on the first of each month
in favor of the city, adopting this
method of liquidating the county's
debt to the city on the road and bridge
fund account.

MAN AND
COP HAVE BRUSH

Quite a sensation occurred in police
circles late Saturday night, having its
aftermath in the city court yesterday
when J. W. Graham, a saloon man.
doing business at the corner of zarra
gossa and Baylen streets, was fined
81 and costs on charge of fighting.
There are many stories related as
to this trouble, which took place at
Graham's place of business, late Sat
urday night. The policeman in the case
was Patrolman Riley Simmons, and it
was told that the saloon man and the
cop came to blows following the impu-
tation that Simmons was telling an
untruth. It seems that Simmons let
all the saloon men understand that he
WAS going to enforce the laws just
as strictly as he was sworn to do, and
this meant that no late liquor selling
was going to be allowed. Just what
particular act actually led up to the
trouble, all authorities do not quite
agree. The fact is. however, that,
after quite a wordy war, in which the
cop and Graham participated the
chief of police was telephoned, and he
was on the scene in a short time. In
the presence of the chief, officer Sim
mons repeated what he said had been
asserted by Graham, and then that
trouble making word was said to have
t1een passed. In few seconds things
went at a lively rate in that inmedi-
ate vicinity, resulting in Graham being
arrested on the charge of fighting, and
Simmons transferred to another beat
for the balance Of the night.

Returning to port, the San Francisco

in series of mine laying drills, re-
naming off Pensacola for about half
day, and then coming inside, steamed
up to an anchorage in the shipping
area, where the vessel may be plainly
viewed from the city docks.

of neutral flags by merchant ships be-

Greece has replied to the German
memorandum to the effect that she
expects Greek ships to be protected
by regulations governing navigation
on the high seas and coasts not eff

Scandinavian countries are taking
steps for joint action.

WAShINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.

This is George Washlngton's birth
pioneer home near Bridges Greek,
Westmoreland county Va, child
was born who was destined TO be
come the greatest figure in the his
tory Of the greatest republic of the
world
There are some people who look
upon Abraham Lincoln as a greater
national figure than Washington. and
while the latter was undoubtedly
greater orator and in some ways a
more natural statesman. il is GER
tain that while the memories of both
men will be reyered as long as
American history lasts. Washington
will be certain TO come in for more
real credit
1t must be remembered thai
Washington stsked his very life or
the cause Of the new country. Will"
Lincoln had little TO fear personally
from any result of the war II has
been customary throughout all his
tory to make the leaders OF a revolu-
ton lose their lives. and as such
Washington would have expected
execution had the colonies lost in
their war.
OF course it must be admitted
that Lincoln really did lose his life
following the war and that Wash
ington lived to a good age and died
from exposure to Indictment weather
But this does not alter the case, for
Lincoln never had reason to expect
personal danger from the country
enemies. while Washington knew all
the time that he was placing his
very existence en- the scale when
he became the leader Of the Ameri-
can forces in the revolutionary war.

LOCAL PARCELS POST.

Postmaster Deals plan to get the
government TO establish a cheap
parcels-post zone at Fairbanks, for
the benefit of the people living
and along the river in the summer
time within distance of 80 miles
means more for the community than
would at first be apparent.
When the parcels-pOst system was
first suggested it met with oppos
ton on the grounds that it would
hurt the country storekeeper, and
would make it possible for the city
stores to take all the trade. But
the country storekeepers seem to
have found the system benefit ia
themselves. as we'll as to the pub
lie in general.
Country stores do not like to
keep on their shelves a large supply
OF goods unnecessarily, and when
they can get new stock at short
notice from the large stores, it
makes it unnecessary for them to
carry such large supplies at home
Thus, with the proposed local pa
cells post plan. when a creek mer
chant runs short of any commodity.
he can have it sent to him al once
by mail from Fairbanks, and both he
and the Fairbanks merchants will
be benefited.
In the same way. the people living
on the creeks can get from Fairbanks
At nominal cost any small article
that a creek store does not care to
handle.
Thus, in general way. the system
will bring the people in closer touch
commercially. and it is certain that
after the plan is once put in force,
people generally will wonder how
they ever managed to get alon2

SHOULD CHOOSE A PARENT

The time is near at hand when
a new school director must be elect
ed and before the matter of select
ing candidates is given more atten
ton. it would be well to consider
the advisability of giving parents the
preference in the matter.
II would not be natural for a man
or woman who has not child of
school age to take as much person
al interest in the public schools as
one who has a selfish interest in
the welfare Of the schools. Thus
to get the best services out of :
school director, he or she should be
a parent
In the past, this phase Of the
question has usually been lost sight
at, and while the schools have man
aged to get along it is probable that
more general satisfaction would have
resulted if only parents had been
elected
Now that the leading women Of
Fairbanks have organized Civic
club, it may be expected that they
will be in position to accomplish
something good in the matter Of
