Keep School and Civic Lea
CUES Active During Sum
mer Months.
ner Months

Many of the 500 School and
Civic Leagues in our state have
formed the bad habit of "going
into summer quarters" by not
having regular meetings dur.
ing this season. Il is To be
hoped that this unwise custom
will be discontinued by the ma
jority of the school leagues this
summer: for there is so much
that can be done during these
vacation months. 1t is n
splendid time to use the local
talent in some good plays and
entertainments for the young
people will be free from school
duties and can give time To
practice. The boys and girls
that have been away to college
will be at home so you can have
their assistance for this work.
This would add greatly TO The
social life of the community
and place some money in the
treasury.
The Health Committee can
be very active by keeping up
live interest in screening the
houses, fly swa;ting and clean
up days; for these are the
months that we need To put
forth every effort to keep down
typhoid and to prevent diseases
among infants. The building
aud grounds committee can
keep things attractive about the
school and have all needed re-
pairs made to building and out
buildings, so that everything
will be in readiness for the
opening of school.
BY Keeping up these regular
meetings and activities of the
league you Will take away that
lonely appearance Of the school
building for the summer months
and thereby make il what
it should be, an attractive
place all the year around. Let
MS hear from You saying that
your league VIII keep up its
active work all during the sum
mer then YOU will have n good
report in November as well as
in May.

Sinking of the Lusitania.

SINKING III tne Lusltanla, al.
though it was well known to
German authorities that there
were many Americans aboard
the i'll .futed Cunard liner,
evinec reckless disregard of
the opinions of the world in
general and of this country in
particular determination to
win by any methods and at any
cost-only compatible with the
assumption that blood lust has
toppled renson from it's throne.
1t is true that Germany
threatened To do this very
thing, but il tx true also thnt
when the threat was received
Washington met it with the
declaration that for all Aneri-
oan property destroyed and for
every American life taken, the
Berlin government would bc
held to n strict accountability.

gard for the safety OF the near
~ 1000 lives aboard and de
spite the certainty that II great
number of these lives were
American. How these 1900
noncombatants and nontrals
might save themselves was n
matter, apparently, 10 which
no consideration was given.
1t was different, perhaps,
when British cargo boats were
sunk, or when a British passen

such case au American citizen
did lose his life, but Germany
may contend with some show
of sincerity she had no special
reason 10 believe that an Amer
lean was aboard.
As to tho Lusiiania, there is
no room for such n contention.
The advertisements printed a
few days ago in many Ameri-
can newspapers, under the au.
thorily of the German embassy,
which warned citizens of this
country not to embark in Brit

and sinister Significance. Al
