Consolidation that Didn't Con.
solidate.

When several school districts
vote to form a consolidated dis
trict under the Buford law, the
matter is not, as one might sup
pose, all settled. Some time ago
five Vernon county districts near
Bronaugh, and later, five adjoin-
ing Metz, voted to form a consoli-
dater district. Both districts then
voted down a bond issue which
was necessary to build the con-
solidated high school, consequent
ly both are consolidated districts
but with no funds to carry out
the purpose for which the consoli-
dation was affected.-Sheldon

500 IN AIR BATTLE AT
VERDUN.
Soldiers Stop Firing to Watch
Stupendous Engagement.

Paris, May 19.-Daring aeria
battles-not merely duels like
those which have been fought
time after time-feature the great
battle of Verdun. More than SOC
aeroplanes have figured in one en-.
counter.
Maneuvering, accommodating or
fighting, one above another, over
the Verdun battlefield, the avia-
tors action was a grand spectacle
that even distracted infantry, ar
tillery and cavalry from their bus
mess of moving down the enemy.
The aerial battles increase daily
with violence. They are elaborate
struggles between large squadrons
which have to maneuver for prop
er lights, wind, and height besides
opening fire with the maximum
broadside the moment the enemy
is sighted, lest he be able to reply
effectively.
The aerial artillery is playing
a big part in the battle Of Verdun
and French infantry counter at
tacks around Haudremont have
been successfully supported by
simultaneous attacks of aerial
squadrons.
A French artillery colonel who
has been brought to Paris after
having been wounded at Verdun
on May 16, today said:
More than 500 aeroplanes were
engaged on Tuesday in reconnoit-
ering or fighting one another ov-
err the Verdun battlefield. They
raided with bombs, machine guns
and revolver cannon. The fight
lasted all day and all night. " i

Peter Ewing was born ID Aah
land county, Chic, Oct. "a, 1870
land grew to manhood ia Ohio
HE was united ii marriage TO Mia
Jane Bennett in the late COS. Hs
lmoved with his family to Missolli3
| in 1880, settling ia eastern Bstei
county on the farm upon which a.
Iispent the remainder Of his Life,
Mrs. Ewing died ia 1900 leaving
him alone. They reared large
family Of twelve children, nine 81
whom survive the parents. Those
living are w. B. Ewing, Mrs. EN-
ma Kincaid, and Mrs. Milda Reyes
of California, Mrs. Loretta Hughes
and Mrs. Tuna Reeder, Of Des
EMoines, Iowa, and Lew, James and
EParl Of Bates county. The de-
ceased ones are Mrs. Eva Will
liams, who died in Oklahoma, Mrs.
Lovina Davis and Mrs. Birdie
Mullin. Mr.. Ewing also left two
children, a boy and q girl, by a
later marriage.
Uncle Pete, as he was commonly
called, was one Of the substantial
citizens Of this community. He
prospered because he was indus
trious. He provided we'll for his
family because he loved them. He
seemed to enjoy the companion
ship of his children and provided
q good home for them, and in the
days when they were at home. his
hospitality was generous toward
them and their friends.
He had been in poor health for
several years. About three years
ago he had stroke Of paralysis
rom which he never fully recov-
,red. On Feb. LIST, he was again
stricken and was never able to be
nut again. He was removed to the
hospital at Clinton but nothing
Gould be done and he died there
Iay 6, 1916, at the age Of rs years,
months and % days.
The remains were brought back
o the old home where a short
uneral service was conducted, af-
err which the body Of father,
Ieighbor and friend was con-
igned to the quiet tomb on the
rest of the hill. We wondered
S we retreated from the sacred.
pot what knowledge eternity
yould reveal Of those who slept as
uietly as he.
The storms Of time beat down .
he sturdy oaks of the forest. The :
ncient land marks must be re-
poved. Change is natures mex
rable law. and man, that is born
nto the world, is of few days and
ull of trouble. Life is given to
IAN without his knowledge and
AIKEN away without his consent.
enacity for life is the handspring
{ human existence, for without it
lie race would have long since
cen extinct. Life is sweet to the
Dung because of bouyant hopes
nd anticipated pleasures It is
recious to the middle aged be-
a,1se Of tasks unfinished and re-
possibilities not fully discharged.
ut to the pain-racked body Of the
ged it has lost all of it's sweet
ess and most of its value, and
ley long for the transition
lne. So while there is sorrow in
lis, there is solace in the fact that
lffering and pain are over and
lc body is: quiet in rest. 4.

Dear lks:-This morning at 1925
| was in the basement of Main Hall
when the fire gong went off. Every
one took it as a joke and a couple of
students made movements to go, but
Mr.. Paine said, wait a minute"
Then the blasts went off from the
power house and We all listened to
the four blasts meaning fire at or near
Main Hall. Even then Mr.. Paine did
not let us go until he went out to see
what others were doing. Then he said
we might as well go as long as the
others were leaving.
So we went out and there was lit
tie smoke coming from around the
dome. There was very little excite
ment while the students were leaving
the building because there was not
even a smell of smoke.
After a little, the smoke began to
get thicker and thicker and then
flames began to curl out around the
bottom of the dome.
1t was scarcely a minute then before
the whole thing was mass of flames.
The most wonderful part of all was
that "Old Glory just waved on and
on with flames all around it. 1t did
not even seem to be scorched.
Then, in crash, the whole dome
fell and 'Old Glory" fell off into the
ground. 1t was perfectly wonderful
that it had not burned. The dome fell
straight down, not any part of it fall
ing to the ground except "Old Glory"
Some boys rushed up and grabbed
the flag. Later l saw a fellow divid-
ing a piece of it and l asked him if he
had little piece to spare and | got a
little wee bit.
After the dome fell, it looked as
though the whole building would sure
1y go. People began to rush every
thing they could out of it. They broke
windows all to bits in order to get
the desks out. went around to the
back and helped stack magazines, etc.
for little while.
At last they got the fire under con-
troll and then they unfurled an old
flag and strung it on wire across the
front of the building. You should
have heard the cheer that went up
when the flag was put there.
The whole campus was just crowd
ed from Main Hall way down to the
street. No one even thought of going
to classes, no matter whether they
we're supposed to be in Main Hall or
anywhere else.
When | got back to the Hall, the
girls began to congratulate me upon
the bravery of my brother who fought
the fire right near the dome, when
even the fremen yelled to him to
come away
was very much excited and went
to the Tyrrell's rooming house where
was when you called. Lawrence
happened not to be anywhere near
Main Hall. Warren was up there a
little while, but was not in any dan
ger.
| am going up now to see if have
French class this afternoon. The
Extra" of the Daily Cardinal says
that classes will be held everywhere
as usual except in rooms directly be-
low the dome. l am not sure wheth-
er that means me or not.
Later:
/ just went up and was told there
are to be no classes this afternoon.
The whole place is swimming in wa
ter.
oh, but just think how awful it
looks to come up State Street and
view the spectacle of Main Hall with
no dome. 1t certainly is sorry look
ing sight. 1t is enough to make one
want to weep. Signed,
CATHERINE WHEELER
