Preparedness
BY J. z. PETERS

The schools Of our land have no
done tleir full duty. They are nov
beginning 70 wake up TO the cTyin!
need Of a nation organized, etIicien
industrially and socially.
The wastase Of young men tusnet
Out in the world with no pTactica

is OUT greatest national exiravagaHce
FOO many become day workers
drlftetS: too many eravitate 70 tht
street corners and Doolroom.
The European conflict proves, tha
it is not numbers that count most
nor courage, nor patriotism, no.
dash. nor armament, nor fortifica
tons, but the industrial. economic
and social organization of the coun.
try as a whole.
If we are to organize the nation
as the plan is al present, We should
begin with our yOule men and boys
Trained they must b. for commerce
fox business for industry, for their
work. We should be SO powerful
economically and industrialIy that
no Lation will dare to attack Us
Preparedness means that we must
fight preventable disease; diminish
our frlghtful losses; make safe
our railways, our highways and our
facto~es; irrigate deserts; cultivate
Abandoned farms; make the new
lands productive; find 4 rational
solution Tor the liquor problem;
organize industry and commerce;
aid above all give our boys and
girls a thorough education and pre-
pare them for life.
It is not tight to send child out
to battle with the world so iIl.equip.
ped for The struggle. The boy or
Cir who goes out into industry must
be trained for his or her calling, The
night school is invaluable, but does
nol exactly meet the needs of the
Young. Boys and girls will not toll
all day and study ali evening. It is
against human nature. School time
must come out Of work time.
This means the continuation. It
may not be the best form of educa-
tor, but it is the only practical plaI'
for training all boys and girls Re-
tween fourteen and eighteen, The
students earn while learning and
their families are not Impoverished
The employer loses the working
hours, bet is amply compensated b.
increased efficiency
Our cities as a rule cannot afford
compulsory education for ali under
eighteen; even the individual states
will not be able to bear the entire
financial burden for such work, the
nation should pay a fair share Of the
cost Of business and industrial train.

BASKETBALL TEAM
FROM OKLAHOMA MA

Tomorrow night local basketball
fans will have the privilege of seeing
the champion team of the Northwest
in action when the Oklahoma Normal
plays with the Elko high school team
at the Bradley Theatre.
The team from the east are touring
the Pacific Coast states and taking on
all comers. They are reputed to be
the fastest team west of the Mississip-
pi River and there is some unpatriotlc
betting TO the effect that the EIko
team will receive n whitewashinC.
However, it is not likely that the local
players will sit with folded arms while
the outsiders walk away with the
score-board. From the timber in the
local team fast and furious game
should result. and the spectators ought
to get good run for their money.
There Will be two preliminary
games between local school teams.
The Freshmen and Sophomores will
! romp bit for the edification of the on.
lockers and a well played contest be-
tween them is looked for. This will be
game between the girls OF the two
high school classes. Both teams have
some fast players. The audience will
he sure of treat when the lassies get
into the scrimmage.
Another preliminary game will be
Il'ycd between the second team of the
Junior Glass and the Grammar school
cam. These teams are both made
up OF boys and those in the know say
they are fast players. The Grammar
cam has already established reputa
lion and are formidable enough to put
little fear in the hearts of the
Juniors, for they gave the Freshmen
l terrible trimming a short time ago.
Lovers of the sport are sure to be
'cwarded for making an effort to at
end the games tomorrow night.

by the County at public tax sales. All
property whose valuation exceeds $500
will be advertised according to law,
and all property whose value is less

The County Auditor was directed to
furnish TO the Treasurer n certified
list Of all such property within the
next ten days. As the County recently
secured an abstract of all the property
in the county. 1t Is probable that buy.
ers will be furnished with abstracts
when they are given titles.
4 badly complicated condition exist,

times when property has gone delln.

~, Instead of being assessed TO the
county II has been assessed TO the
previous owner, and the previous own.
er has paid the assessment. In this
way the county lost It's lien on the
