O|..H..S.lN MOOSE HALL
Commercial Department to Have
Down Town Quarters.

1t Is always customary to locate a
business college down town, in order
that it may be amid business sur.
roundings. But the location Of a
commercial department of a high
school in the center of the business
section is a new one.
Crowded conditions in the Oska-
loosa high school have made it neces'
sary to move the business school
down town, locating it along with the
history and physics departments in
the Moose lodge and club rooms over
the Oskaloosa Traction & Light Com
pany. The entire second floor of the
building has been turned into a school
All departmental equipment was NOV
ed down town yesterday and is being
put in order for the opening of school
next Tuesday ILL., ~# l. '.
The large Moose lodge hall will &C
commodate the physics department
Prof. Kelley and his classes will have
the most commodious apartments
The front club rooms will house the
commercial department and the in
terror apartments will be the location
of history classes. s....-

School viii Open Late.

On advice OF the president of the
state board of health the school for
the blind at vinton will not open un-
til October 81. The action was tax
en- on account of infantile paralysis
in some parts of the state. 1t is said
there are no cases at Vinton but it
was thought to be an advisable pre-
caution not to bring the children to-
gether in school just at this time.

NASH FAMILY REUNION
Birthday Anniversary of John Nash
is Duly Celebrated

September is a Red Letter Day
to all members of the Nash family.
For many years on that date has
been held the family reunion in cele-
bration of the birthday of Mr.. John
Nash of North Market street.
This year the celebration was held
at the home of Mr.. Nash, and here
were gathered children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren to share in
the pleasure of the S9th birthday.
Time has been kind to him and
while not so vigorous as in other
years he yet possesses the desire to
have his loved ones around him and
always insists on the family gather
ing together upon his birthday.
On Friday the picnic table was
spread on the beautiful lawn of Mr..
Nash's home. There was seated a
company of over half hundred. The
table was filled with all the good
I things that the excellent cooks of
this family can prepare. g..
Mrs. Chas. Ruby returned thanks
and everybody was deeply grateful
I that not a death had occurred in the
| family the past year. One member
had been added, Mrs. John Nash, Jr.,
of Kansas City, who with her hus'
band. was present.
After the dinner pictures of the
crowd were taken. One interesting
picture included four generations
Father Nash, his son, Geo. c., grand
daughter, Mrs. Grace Bartlett, and
great granddaughter, Bernice Kath
ryn Bartlett.
Each year the crowd says they do
not believe they can hope for another
such happy celebration and every.
body agrees that there never was one
so successful as this year and they
ARE now looking toward the next. g..

Methodist Conferences.

1t is always interesting TO note the
changes made by the annual Methodist
Conference. While it seems that
Methodists make more changes than
other denominations it is a mistaken
notion. The reason for this seemingly
many changes is. ali changes are made
at one time and there are so many
more Methodist preachers than are in
other denominations. Since Rev. Hale
came to Hays there have been three diff
ferent Presbyterian preachers, and the
same is true of the Baptist church to
fill these pulpits and the same can be
said of the Catholic church.
Rev. W. E. Scott of McCracken,
was transferred to Sylvan Grove,
and Rev. J. P. White of Lindsborg,
was sent to McCracken, Rev. NJ. G.
Terry, of Wilson, was placed on the
Colby district, and Rev. Charles Snyder
of Plainville was located at Wilson, and
Rev J. w Snapp, was sent to Plain
vile, while Rev. G. R. Hall of Lincoln,
was made District superintendent of
the Salina District: Rev A. S. Hale
and Atree Smith of Beloit, are enter
ing upon their sixth year labor. From
the reports that come to US we learn
there were four large committees from
four of the leading charges of the con-
ference that waited upon the Bishop
Thirkield urging him to give his con-
sent TO take Rev. Hale from Hays, but
the Bishop believed that Mr.. Hale was
the one man for US and sent him back
for one more year: We believe the
Bishop used the best of judgment and
We gladly welcome Rev. Hale to our
city. Rev. Hale is not only a great
preacher but citizen who takes a real
interest IN all things that make for
bigger and better Hays. We learned
that Judge Ruppenthal was elected
delegate to General Conference to
be held at Saratoga Springs, during the
month of May, and that Rev. C. W.
Stevens of the Ellsworth District was
elected ministerial delegate. The Con-
ference will be entertained at Ellsworth
next year. =

One billion dollars will not cover the

Stupendous figures, so great in fact
that we scarcely appreciate their sig

workingmen each year from the above
causes would pay the entire national

Casualties Of Peace.

Americans who are Mortified ov er the
casualties that are rolling up in the
bloody struggle in Europe give very
little heed to the terrible toll which is
paid by the laboring men of their own
nation in pursuing the arts of peace.
In "a Few Things Worth Remember
ing the Scientific American points out
that in the United States every year:
Forty thousand workers are killed;
Two million are injured;
Three million are i'll from preventable
diseases;
Four hundred million dollars are lost
by workingmen from sickness that
could have been prevented by the pro-
per hygiene and instruction.

RepubIieans to the Rescue.

There is complete collapse of the
Democratic administration at Washing
ton. The Democratic Congress backs
up and opposes President Wilson so
frequently these days that the whole
outfit would be helpless unless the Re
publicans came to the rescue, as they
do. 1t is so on the repeal of the Free
Trade measure on sugar; 1t is true of
the policy of preparedness and in the
Endorsement of diplomatic notes TO bel
ligerent nations. The Democratic
House is so blinded by partisanship that
it acts like bunch of grammar school
boys on vital questions needing states
manship and broad patriotism.
Congress has wasted great deal of
time; the country is getting Disguised,
too. Nothing of Importance has been
done. After a while, near the close Of
the session, and when forced to 1t, there
will be flood of ill-considered legisla-
ton, and perhaps some monumental
blunders. These times, and the war
clouds on the horizon, call for far
higher grade of craftsmanship than has
so far been revealed in Congress-
