SCHOOL NOTES,
BY E ". WILLTANS

Are you intending to teach? If
so why are you not attending the
Normal Department of the West
Liberty School? You can get
two months of training yet this
spring, and | am sure if you will
come and put in some hard think
ing you will go away better pre-
pared to teach.
We had several new students
in last week, and we had better
work done than ever before. If
you want a certificate now is
your chance. Who is it that gets
the best schools and the best pay?
Those who go to school; those
who are characterized by ener-
getic and useful activity.
Some people study a question
book and get certificate, get a
school, blunder along and draw
the money, waste their own time
and dwarf the future prospects
of the children. What do YOU
think of the teacher who is con
tinually drawing on his bank O
knowledge and putting nothing
in? You can not get something
out Of a thing when there's moth
ing in it. Some teachers say: {"
want to rest. !" Beware, les
while you rest you rust. While
the husbandman slept the littl,
foxes crept in and destroyed thu
vineyard.
The people of West Libert,
have splendid opportunity t,
enjoy good school from and in
GLIDING Grade l through a fou
years High School. If you ar
not enjoying it, why?
The man who works for a goo
school, though he does not GO
everytime-the thing you thin
he should, is not so much
blame as the man who does notl
ing. If you donot want an et
ucation, please do not hinde
those who do. You will egres
or regress; there is no standstil
and if you won't push out do M
drag someone back with you. A
departments are doing good wol
so everybody "whoop" for II
school.
We have organized a Paren
Teachers Association and the la
meeting was an encouraging turf

ganization and this is the place
where the parents can geta word
in without cost.
There was an excellent program
rendered Friday evening by the
Expression and Music Depart
ment. A large crowd Of young
people attended it; but we want
more parents to visit our school.
You go to your orchard, and
you look at your cattle and horses,
you attend to all your business
affairs, and you should think more
seriously about the rooms where
your children attend school. This
is Of more Importance than any
thing you have to consider.
Come and see what your boys
and girls are doing.

Although Cheyenne County
entertained no great expectations
it being their first attempt, ami

George Trumbor. enc of our
High Schoo! boys. being q nat

a ribbon as an evidence of having

quite covered himself with glory
as he was competing with some
of the best Athletes in the State.
He also tried out in the hum
dred yard dash. in which he came
in second in his heat. This
would have qualified him for the
finals, but straining every nerve
in the attempt he slipped over
into the next mans alley and was
disqualified. But taking fourth
place in the pole vault alone is
sufficient to make US proud of
George and we hope that the
school will encourage and de-
velope the material they have
and some day carry away the

LONDON, Jan. S.--Advices from var
ious points in the near East to London
newspapers this afternoon declare that
conditions in COnstantinople arc rapidly
approaching crisis.
The .anti-war party. Is conducting a
vigorous propaganda, and although the
ncws of the Turkish disaster in the
Caucasus has been suppressed, wild
rumors are in circulation which go even
farther than do the Russian claims in
fixing the extent of the losses. The
authorities have taken stern measures
to prevent an outbreak, and the young
Turk leaders are in constant consulta-
ton with the German officials who
nave been sent there as advisers.
Sofia reports received here todt.y say
that the Turkish government Is already
considering the abandonment OF the
capital and a transfer of the seat of
government to some other point. proba :
bly, Adrianoplc. All of the archives OF
tho government are said to have been
prepared for shipment. and there is Il
general feeling in Bulgaria that this ac-
ton will shortly be taken.
Although Turkey has ARRANGED for a
big loan from German sources. all ad-
vices received here indicate that none of
the money actually has been paid over.
1t Is adding to the discomfort in the

sIX.CENT BREAD NEAR
War Prices For Flour Will Force
Up Price, Say Bakers.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The war price
OF flour, which has gone up since hostil-
tiles started abroad, threatens to send
the price OF bread up to s cents a loaf.
II. B. Ward, head of the Ward Baking
Company. said last night in his home
in New Rochelle that the advance In
the price Of flour justified bakers in
demanding cents. The baking indus.

bearing the burden of the European
war In this country.

That seems to be tho standard price fol

increasing it. This matter was takei
up at a meeting OF our board today
We decided we could do nothing bu

The size Of the loaf will not be cut
down. One good reason for this is thai
all our pans are made for the regular
sized loaf and II would be out Of th<
question to change cur equipment. The
expense would be TOO great.
The war is the only explanation o
