later date is chosen the Christ
mas shopping season will be too
short. On the other hand, it is
suggested that so many persons
wait till late in December, any
way, to do their holiday purchas-
ing that it does not make much
difference when Thanksgiving
comes.
Another suggestion has been
made in the past-that Thanks
giving be appointed for Monday
instead of Thursday, so as to
give us a long weekend holiday
instead of making an inconveni-
ent break in the middle of the
week. There is something to be
said for this proposal. If Mon
day, November 27, were select
ed by the President it would
please a large proportion of his
fellow citizens.
However, Mr.. Wilson may not
feel like proclaiming any
Thanksgiving day this year
unless he gets it done and over

brought about largely because

A STEP IN ADVANCE.

We dislike to admit it, but
we must say that in one respect
at least Japan is ahead of some
of the states in our country.
Japan has passed law forbid
ding children under twelve years
Of age to work in factories. In
some Of our states we have no
such restrictions, and million
aires have been made from the
labor of poor, underpaid children
who ought to be either in school
or out in the open, enjoying
Gods fresh air and sunlight,
building up their bodies and
gaining strength to face the
problems of later years. How
ever, some men are so heartless
that they would put six weeks
old baby to work if they could
but do it.-Winnebago Enter

is scheduled to come up in the dis
trict court today whereby the right OF

ner Of a section IN Shirley township

GOOD TITLE
FOR SCHOOL
PREMISES
County Superintendent Shepard Points Out
Grave Abuses Which Have Been
Practiced in Past

That titles to the lands upon which
county district schools are built shall
be Strengthened out during the next
year is causing the exertion Of much
energy on the part Of the county SUI
perintendent OF public schools, M. H..
Shepard
The degree into which carelessness
and negligence have entered in this
matter is surprising to those who have
given it but little thought In past
years many a spontaneously public
spirited Individual, inspired with en-
thusiasm and a sudden resolve to do
something for the advancement of ed
ucation in his district has donated a
piece Of land on which to build a
school house. The people Of the dis
trict Immediately entered upon the
construction Of the building without
first securing the title. In the course
of few years the values Of lands adj
vanced, the donor may have died and,
being without title, the district school
boards have been forced to purchase
the lands on which their little school
houses were built at a price greatly in
advance Of that for which it could have
been purchased originally
Mr.. Shepard has addressed the
following self-explanatory letter to
over three hundred school officials in
the various districts:
II find that a great number of our
school districts do not have clear
title TO their school ground My Of
flee has no record whatever concern
ing the title to school properties. We
are having considerable trouble in
some districts now over this very
thing.
"Some man has promised to give
plat of ground to the district. but did
not give a deed, the property changes
hands. and then the trouble comes.
probably he is not friendly with the
school, or wants to charge an enor-
nous price for the land, knowing that
the building is there and the district
is perfectly helpless.
Il know you are busy, but want to
be of all the service possible to the
good people or this county, and will
ask you to answer the question in full.
Some Of our teachers are not max
ing their report to this office on time.
