Rural School Notes
BY CLYDE JOHNSON.

City have organized an interesting
literary and debating society. 1t was
with pleasure that D. M.Clayton, as
sistant to Mr.. Gass, and 1, listened to
warm discussion of the quetion, Re
solved That the mule is a more USE
full animal than the horse. It was fine
to see one boy after anotherchampion
the cause of his favorite. This is
experience and training-the right
kind of education. that will be use
full to them all their lives.
The other people of the community
have also organized a society that
meets Friday night. Last Friday they
invited Mr.. Clayton and the writer to
explain Consolidation. Large crowd
present spite of bad roads. There
were representatives from most of
the surrounding districts present.
The literary program was interesting
and well applauded Next Friday will
be slander suit-"Barley Arvis VS.
Emil Jungbluth ct al-publishers of
the Benton Gazette" 1t seems the
publishers stated that Arvin had
been bootlegging. A very interesting
fight is assured
Tho half the audience was children
and young people, and the hour late,
Mr.. Clayton received close attention
for fully an hour, as he explained
the question of consolidation. Ques-
tions were aksed, showing, too, the
interest they take in the question.
1t did not suit many to come out
at night, we remained in Benton and
held another meeting 200 pm. Sat
urday. At least rs leading farmers
and business men of the community
were present and again the deepest
interest in the question was shown.
1t was five o'clock before the last
had left. There was some opposition,
but this was on points that If they
were fully understood would leave
little basis for opposition.
1t looks now very favorable for the
organization of large and wealthy
district at Benton. The proposed plan
includes the districts: Erisman, Eu-
reka Prairie Chapel, Chapel Grove,
Sun Rise, Liberty, Stauffer, and Ben
ton City, This will give them more
than SO square miles of territory,
nearly 500 school children, and a val |
uation of $554,OOO. This makes a
strong and wealthy district, one that
can have a very suitable building, |
a first class four year high school
that will prepare their children for
college or university entrance with
out examination,-bu best of all we
give them first-class practical edu-
cation suited to farmers and all that
at a reasonable cost. Then, too, the
children will be at home. Now who
can estimate the value of that?
Last summer at the farmers picnic
at Cant Champ Clark said that he
was in favor of consolidation, and
that, too, after he had made a plea
for better work in our rural schools.
Surely, then, this is step in the
right direction, and deserves the
and best wishes of all who
are interested in the best welfare of
the community.

Preparedness"
Is Discussed
Rev. Green Has Packed House at The
Baptist Church.

night. He had a large hearing
every seat in the building taken,
Some of the thoughts he presented
were:
His general text was from Mat.16: 8.
'Ye know how to discern the face
of the heoaven; but ye cannot dis
Germ the signs of the times"
Scripture reading-Mat. 24:44,
Therefore, be ye also ready; for in
such an hour as yethink not the Son
of man cometh John 1871" Je-
sus saith unto Peter, put up the
sword into the sheath"
1t is well that we try to understand
the times in which we live. God
has placed us here just at this period
in the worlds history and that for a
specific purpose. We do we'll to en-
deavor to see the events that are TAX
ing place. One event portends anoth-
er if we could only see the relation
that exists. 1t is a fact that when
there are volcanic disturbances in
one part of the world there is evil
dence of the same in other parts.
What are we to conclude? That there
is some relation-that these volca-
noes have a common center of activ-
ity somewhere. When we hear rumb-
lings of war in Europe, Asia, Africa,
in Australia, in China, and Japan,
and then not only hear but all but
smell the fumes of volcanic eruption
in nearby Mexico, what are we to
conclude? That the fires may
break out in the United States.
Hence our plea for Preparedness.
In the light of present conditions
preparedness in our Christian duty.
There is much pious talk about Jesus
telling Peter to put up his sword,
But Peter believed in preparedness.
He took his sword with him to prayer
meeting. His Lord must have known
that Peter had the sword. He did
not command him not to take it,
When the time came that Peter
thought he ought to use it he went
for his sword. He used it, too. If
that fellow hadn't lodged he would
have cut off his head instead of his
ear.
Ideals govern the life of a people.
Our ideals have ever been those of
peace as opposed to aggressive mill
taryism. Because our ideals are so
very different from those of the old
world America has been cruelty
misjudged", says our President. We
are despised, even hated by the great
nations of Europe, if we are to be-
lieve those who have recently come
from those countries. Germany
hates US because she thinks we have
favored the Allies. The Allies hate
us because Nwe have taken so much
off Germany. We have talked so
much of peace that they do not think
there is any fight in us.
War for this nation is possibility,
To be forewarned is to be fore armed.
We know that war is a possibility
because we have had such a hard
time keeping out of it.
Preparedness is but the common,
natural law of the universe. Why
did God make the COW with horns,
the dog with teeth. the cat with
claws, theNeagle with talons. the wasp
with sting. the mule with hoof,
man with fists If He did not mean
that these were for our protection2
Ali law recognizes the right of
selI-defense. The New Testament
nowhere condemns the use of force
in civil government of wrong-doers.
For he beareth not the sword in
vain"
II any form Of preparedness is JUS
tinable then it should be adequate.
Every city has its police force, This

SUGGESTED AS GIFTS
Make Excellent Christmas Presents.
Says Mrs. Alice E. Whitaker.

almost every electrical appliance
which year or two ago was considered
a luxury Is now deemed a necessary
comfort by the housewife" said Mrs.
Alice E. Whitaker. of the District
Mothers Congress. at a meeting of the
Housewives Association yesterday.
There are many dainty electrical de-
vices which make acceptable gifts, and
those who are in doubt should visit the
electrical shops and see the assortment
of electric appliances displayed.
Selecting Christmas gift is nearly
always a perplexing problem" said Mrs.
Whitaker, because the essential quail
ties are SO hard to combine. 1t must
be something serviceable, and yet II
must convey the spirit Of Christmas.
must not cost too much. and yet there
must be a touch of real luxury about
It.
TT must offer some practical utility
and yet. there Is that fine line of distinc-
ton between the welcome gift and the
things we all prefer to buy for ourselves
THE electrical Christmas gift combines
these essential qualities, and betokens
personal thought on the part of the
giver."
At the electrical appliance show to
be conducted in the building at 1212 C
street northwest for eight days. starting
December 2, every known electrical ap-
pliance suitable for Christmas gifts will
be displayed by the local merchants par

Only i've supervisory officers are needed
to make Washington's squad Of trafic
police as efficient as any In the entire
country.
At an increased annual cost of $500
Congress could provide for Washington
extra police service-officers to specialize
in trafidc problems and minimize the dam
ger Of injury to pedestrians and motorists.
These are estimates furnished by Mai.
Raymond w. Pullman. superintendent Of
police. He win recommend them In his
annual report to the District Commis-
sioners-
The need Of officers who can devote
time to specialize In traffic problems is
very great at this time" said Mai. Pull
man yesterday. "Our force of approxi-
mately 100 men assigned to street cross
ings and motorcycle and bicycle service
could be adequately ofiicered by hve addi-
tional men A captain. q lieutenant and
three sergeants, to devote their entire at
tention to problems affecting the city's
t-aflc. would relieve the situation greatly.
As matters stand now. frequently Il Il
found necessary to remove policemen
from precinct duty and assign them to
handle traffie. Many problems are con-
stantly coming up which demand the con-
sideration Of specialists In traffic. Every
large city practically has tried this plan
with success. hope It will be seen At to
try the plan In Washington. In my opin-
ion danger Of accident or injury could be
greatly lessened."

ERNEST SCHELLTNG
in VARIED RECITAL
Pianist and Composer Appears Before
Belasco Audience.

Ernest scheliing. American pianist and
composer, gave delightful recital at the
Beiasco Theater yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Scheilfng played q varied program of
classical and ultra-modern music, but,
contrary to the custom OF nearly all re-
cent composer-artists, did not place on
the program any Of his own works This
was . disappointment to many in the
audience.
Interest centered In the music composed
by Granados. the ill-starred Spanish COM
poser and pianist. Mr.. scheiling played
Three Dansas Dspanoias" ana 1.-TWO
Goyescas. each one a thing Of beauty.
graceful and meiodious, yet fun OF the
close harmonies and tonai contracts that
mark modern music. So kindly and with
such tenderness were these played that
one felt the pianist was thinking rever-
entity of Granados. his friend, whose
tragedy deeply affected the world Of mu-
sicians.
As an encore. Mr.. schelling played an
other Spanish dance by Granados.
Beethoven's Sonata Opus 3. was chosen
as the opening number and was superbly
interpreted; the delicate beauty Of the
Arietta. full Of limpid triils and runs, was
especially effective. Polished like elegant
jewels were the preludes from Bach,s
well-tempered Clavichord, and the themes
were distinctly brought out in tones of
richness and power. Debussy's Sara
bande." Ravei's "Alborado del Grazioso, I"
and Emile Blanchets ''Passacag glia," were
representative modern Compositions rem
dered.
The first number in the closing group Of
pieces, Chant Polonais Chopin -Liszt),
gave Mr.. schelling full opportunity to dis
play his wonderful singing tone of almost
vocal quality In a simple touching theme
Of purest melody. The program closed
with the Tenth Hungarian Rhapsody by
Liszt. From the vigorous ringing notes
of the opening bars to the furious Joy Of
the last part. the pianist brought odt all
the wild Slavonic temperament which
Liszt SO remarkably portrays IN this work.
As an encore Chopin's Nocturne in r was
given.
Mr.. Schelling Is an artist whose distinc-
tive quality is individuality, and all his
Interpretations command interest and ad-
miration. This recital was under the local
management Of Miss Grace Francis
NJ. J. s.
