FROM PIGGIE TO PORK"

From Piggie to Pork" is the title of
another prize winning story written by
a BrOokings seventh grade school girl.
Nearly every week Brookings pupils
get the first prize, OF honorable men
ton, and as a result much attention is
being directed toward Brookings. The
Minneapolis Journal Junior page is
furnishing an outlet for talent few
thought existed in this city, and Miss
Lundsten, of the English department,
is encouraging the pupils Of her
classes to make capital of the training
she is giving them. An original story
is required of all the pupils each week.
The prize winner this last week was
written by Meriel Spooner, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. /. ID. Spooner, and is
very cleverly written. The story is as
follows:
| have been told that in the early
days of Bookings, everything from a
small child to a horse was picketed in
vacant lots. Buildings were scarce
and lots plentiful. ! heard of one in
stance where a oma bought a small
pig and, having no place to keep 1t,
placed a band around its body, attach
ed a long rope to the band, and picket
ed it out in a nearby lot where she
could feed and watch it. All went well
for a time. The pig thrived and out
grew it's band as its s~quealing made
known. Then the woman would come
out, catch the pig, throw it, place her
knee on it and loosen the band. This
process vas repeated several times
during the summer and the pig was
fast nearing the time when it would

EDITORIALS
What the Editor Is.

The editor of this paper is an
ignorant man," only fit to live in
New Hope or Trenton" and the
city of Lambertville is "a little, in
! significant place" according to Miss
Minnie B. Gandey, who has constitu-
ted herself a local censor in the
absence of military authority for
that purpose.
Miss Gandey has a perfect right
to these views, and she may be
right in her statements, especially
the first. If she thinks Lambertville
is "a little, insignificant place." she
either ought to help make it better
or move to some large, pretentious
place"
AS to the ignorance of the editor,
we are not competent judge. Some
times we think he is several shades
smarter than General Jackson, and
then again we feel that he is just a
plain, ordinary mutt who doesn' t
know enough to go in when it rains.
All the trouble came over the
editors introducing a resolution in
meeting of the Merchants associa-
ton protesting against the continu-
ance of the infantile paralysis quar-
antine. Miss Gandey objected to
that, which she had a right to; and
objected to the editor saying that
he was going to introduce it, which
was none of her business.
Several people in Lambertville
have tried to suppress free speech
and free press, some by threats
of bodily injury, while others, more
refined, suggested interfering with
the editors business, or making it
unpleasant for his friends. Nary a
threat has materialized, n d we
don't suppose one of the threateners
could be induced to confess up, now,
unless showed into the business end
of a 42-centimeter gun.
Anyone seeking publicity will find
our columns open, and if they will
be kind enough to keep their re-
marks toned down so that the papers
will be mailable, we shall be glad
to run them exactly as they state
them. Who's next?

When Schools Will Open.

Secretary Walter F. Hayhurst, of
the Lambertville Board of Education
has issued the following statement:
The decision of the Board of
Education not to open the public
schools of Lambertville before Sep
TENDER II has nothing to do with
any quarantine arrangement. t
was thought best by the board to
delay the opening until that time in
order that the buildings and every
thing connected with them could be
in first class order before the schools
are commenced. The work Oh both
of the buildings is now practically
complete except the iron stair rail
ing at the Third Ward building, and
quite a number of small items at
both buildings. None of these, how
ever, ought to require any consider
Abe length of time and all should be
complete and finished in plenty of
time.
of course if an epidemic should
develop in the community the open
ing of the schools will be still further
delayed. Notice has been received
from the state board of education
notifying the local board that the
matter is in their hands and request
ing them to consult with the board
of health on the subject and the
matter will receive careful attention
in due time.
The board and all other good
citizens ought to feel that while In
fantile Paralysis is not by any means
a new thing, as yet practically moth
ing is known about its contagion and
there is no good reason to fear a
development of an epidemic here,
yet under the circumstances, it is
better to take unnecessary pre-
cautions rather than incur any risk
whatever"

MORE MARRIAGES IN FRANCE.

The French marriage contract,
which is quite apart from the VOWS,
and has to do with dowries and other
unromantic financial considerations.
is being disregarded in war times as
never before, possibly an indication
that convention and artifciality are
really being stripped away by suf-
fering, as so many assert, and con-
sequently the number of marriages
in Paris has risen from 1853 in Jan
uary, 1915, to 1889 in December.

 DiSaIlOWed.

Commissioners F. B. Hungerford and M. D. Sake held a short meeting this afternoon at which they assigned hearings on the Hugh Ker- win estate in which Lawyer w. F.
