father, silk importer, had prospered
In the land of his adoption. and two
months before, while on a business
trip to his native land, had died sud-

hurried to France to adjust his affairs.
Then Mrs. Marchand had remembered
some old friends in Nancy, and had
gone there for a brief visit, while the
son settled the Paris business tangle.
Suddenly. like bolt from the blue,
war blazed out. Mrs. Marchand. shut
up in Nancy, could get no news of her
son. And Jean, ablaze with new love
for the land of his birth, had enlisted
as private soldier.
The tragedy of the affair was that
Nancy was not six miles distant, and
the mother, waiting there, did not
know but that Jean was in Paris.

School Notes
BY Miss Virginia Luten
County Supt

In the school election Aug. Z,
Z. e. Alexander was elected
trustee for the new consolidated
school, Chas. Herring for McFad-
den, j. +. Adams for Madrid
Bend, and d. w. McKelvey for
Montgomery. Several districts
failed TO elect and the County
Board will make appointments to
fill these vacancies.
Rural schools are now in SEES
sion and with few exceptions are
reporting excellent attendance.
Trustees have made a special eff.
Tort TO secure well qualified
teachers. OF the 25 rural teach
ers employed for the present
term, more than SO per cent have
been attending school since teach
ing last fall, 40 per cent have had
more than high school educa
tlon, 90 per cent hold State Ger
tliicates and 50 per cent have
had training in our State Nor
NAL and State University. A.
bout one-third OF our teachers
viii receive from $50 to Ss5 per
month for term of seven. eight
or nine months. For the first
seven months the teachers arr
paid by the county but where the
term is extended this is done by
the district.

FROST EASY WINNER
IN SENATORIAL RACE.

The senatorial race resulted IN
the nomination for reelection
of Senator W. A. Frost.
This district is composed of the
counties of Fulton, Graves and
Hickman. There are 56 voting
precincts in the three counties
and Senator Frost carried 40 and
Mr.. Brooks 10
Senator Frost received 266O ia
Graves county and lll5 IN Hick
man and 775 in Fulton county.
Mr.. Brooks received 1924 in
Graves, 6l7 in Hickman and 552
in Fulton county.
This shows that Senator Frost
is nominated and will be re-elect-
ed by a very fine majority, which
indicates his popularity as State
Senator among the people of this
district.
The Courier believes Frost was
one of the most active and valua-
bic members of the senate dur
ing his first term, and of course he
will be better qualified TO make
an able senator during the next
four years.
This district has the consolation
of knowing that there is no dis
trict in the State more ably and
conscientiously represented than
the First District.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
A REPLY-I wish to reply to an
article in your paper under date of
Jan. &c, by Miss Gibson, entitled,
Should Girl Quit Her. Job if Her
Employer Swears in Her Presence"
Dear Miss Gibson-It is cOntempti-
BILE the way young girls worship the
so-caIled gentleman" employer.
In my opinion the man to be feared
is the one who, as an employer, dis
guises himself by putting on the
mask of gentlemanlness. The en-
ployer who NEVER uses prOfane Ian
guage in the presence of his stenog-
rapher or private secretary en-
ployer who extends overdue cour-
tesy to her-no matter how provoked
he may be with certain circum-
stance, is either inhuman or guilty Of
a clear and distinct purpose, cOnspir-
ing the downfall Of his victim. En-
sharing her into the trap so cleVerly
set, the rest can easily be accom-
plished.
There are undoubtedly many who
would make statement to the effect
that a weIl-bred man would never
swear in the presence Of a lady! Now
in this statement find room for ar
gument. Why be hypOcritical? Why
refrain from uttering the word or
words that are at the tip of ones
tongue? Just because one Of the OPP
posite sex happens to be near? Why
pretend to be what we are not?
Is it not a weIl-known fact that
every man swears sometimes, as well
as nine-tenths of the women? If so,
surely there is not a place or time
better fitted for this liberty than at
the place Of business. Can it be that

tax the public in higher price for
bread or a smaller loaf. South Amer
lean trade is myth. That country
has had poor crops and has no money
with which to buy. Better put an en-
barge on foodstuffs and keep them at
home for our own people. There is
starving here as well as in Europe.
Congress is afraid to do it for fear
politicians will lose the farmer vote.

BY N. D. COCHRAN :
Loop Congestion. - Every discus
sion of loop congestion is based on
the theory that loop congestion is ne
cessa-y or that everybody has to go
into the loop. The entire Chicago
scheme Of existence appears to be
based on the theory that all citizens
have to get to the Field store.
But it isn't necessary that the city
and county buildings be in the little
loop or that the main postofice be
there.
If we remove the city and county
building and the courts outside the
loop, then the lawyers will flock out
side the loop; and all of the many
people who visit the courts and pub
lie buildings. That would create a
demand for Office buildings outside
the congested district, where ground
isn't so costly and rents so high.
can understand why the Field es-
tate wants congestion in the loop. It
means enormous rents for the acres
OF FleIQ DulluInSS. III the loop ana II
means more business for the Field
store. But can't see why the people
outside the loop stand for it. There
are but two aldermen who represent
the loop district, yet the entire Coun-
Gil plays the loop game and helps pile
up more millions for the Field heirs.
Business Is -Notwithstand-
ing all the optimism you read in the
papers, business is on the bum and
isn't picking up much. The rail-

WAR PENNIES

The convincing argument that
war is business is found In the fact
that the manufacture OF shot and
Nhell is engaged in solely for profit.
Patriotism is not a factor In II. The
collision OF individual manufacture
ers and government officials in order
10 do" the government on its war
supply contracts was shown up in
detail by Representative Tavenner
in Congress. II has been stated that
in 1893 American armor was being
sold 20 Russia for $40 ton while
the United States Government was
charged s6i6 a ton. In 1913 the War
Department paid eos 10 the am
munition ring for shrapnel, which
the government was making in its
own arsenal for SIS. Even greater
disparity in prices was shown in
other articles. and IL has been re-
peatedly stated in the press that the
prices being charged the govern
ments OF Europe for American war
supplies today are yielding enor-
nous profits.-The Christian Herald.
