Another six weeks period has
passed in our school work. We
are proud Of the improvement
that has been made. The records
show that the total number Of
persons failing in one or more
subjects in the high school has
been reduced 25 per cent and that
the number of persons failing in
two or more subjects has been re-
tured SO per cent. This indicates
increased diligence and added
pride in accomplishment on the
part Of the students.
We appreciate the co-opera-
ton Of the patrons of the school
in our campaign to raise its
standard of efficiency.
The following pupils have the
honor of leading their respective
classes in scholarship:

GOOD RoADs MEETING.

Logan. Ia, March GA meet
ing of road superintendent and
township trustees here Saturday
was we'll attended, not only. To-
cally, out also from different
parts of the county.
j. E. Van Scoy, member of the
board of supervisors, was. the
presiding officer. Engineer Nc
Donald of the state highway COM
mission was present and talked
on state laws and other matters
helpful in construction of public
highways. Attorney j. S. Dewell
of Missouri Valley gave an in
structive talk on road laws in
other states, comparing such
laws with the road laws of Iowa,
pointing out the advantages and
disadvantages.
Hon. Milton b. Pitt, member
of the thirty-sixth general as
sembly of Iowa, was also in at
tendance and paid his respects to
the state highway commission and
road laws as they exist today. He
favored returning to the system
where the constructing of the
highways and bridges was in the
hands of the supervisors and their
appointees. 1t will be remember
cd that Mr.. Pitt is pledged to the
task of either wiping out or mod
flying the present road laws that
the supervisors will have more
power and the state highway COM
mission little or no power at all.
Robert Oliver, one of the most
experienced road builders in
western Iowa, reviewed the diff
ferent Iowa road laws under
which he had worked in the past
thirty-flve years. He made an
effective comparison, past and
present. He called especial at
tention to the value of the trac-
ton engine as a motor power in
road construction over that of the
horse.
Lewis Haas, banker of Wood
bine, read an interesting and
helpful paper on what CONNER
cial clubs might do in co-operat-
ing with others in lettering the
condition or location of roads
over the county or roads running
into the different towns of the
county

Male HeIp Wanted.

p. B. Johnson, 172 N. Halsted
street, Chicago, Ill.,, president Of
the largest concern of it's kind in
the world, wants three or four
men in Harrison county and sew
eral men in adjoining counties
to work for him spare time OF all
the time. He can use only those
who have a rig or auto. Work
is very pleasant and no previous
selling experience is necessary.
Work consists of leaving a won
dcrful new household necessity in
the homes on free trial. Tests at
more than thirty of the leading
universities and the United States
government bureau of standards
shows this new article to be four
times as efficient as articles now
in general use in this section.
Article is needed in every rural
home and benefits every member
of the household, bringing cheer,
comfort and happiness into the
home. Not necessary to be away
from home nights. Pay from Sc
to SIS per day according to abil-
|ity and number of homes visited.
In writing Mr.. Johnson mention
what township win be most con-
venient for you to work in, what
your regular occupation is, your
age, married or single, what kind
of rig or auto you have, whether
you wish to work spare time or
steady, how much time you will
have to devote to the work, when
you can start, and about how
many homes. are within six miles
of you in each direction. This is
q splendid opportunity for several
men in Harrison county and eoun-
ties adjoining to make good
money, working steady or spare
time. Some of the field men earn
$500 per month; one farmer
earned $1,000 working spare time
only. No investment or bond
necessary. m2-9-16-23

colonial gowns of many decades
ago, powdered hair and patches.
The long table which was placed
through the entire length Of the
living and dining rooms, was
decorated entirely in red and
green and beautiful effect was
produced in the decorations. Red
garlands were stretched from the
corners of the rooms to the chan
deliers, from which radiated
green garlands to the corners of
the table. A silver candelabra

DITCH TO COST
AsouT @1,4oo, 600

Little Sioux. Ia, March 6.The
Harrison and Monona county
ditch was under consideration be
for the trustees Thursday at On
ava. The ditch as builded has
been found inadequate in case OF
high water and what improve
ments should be made was sub
mitted to a government engineer
who made his report Thursday.
There were two propositions re-
ported, one to enlarge the main
ditch at a cost of about $4,000,
the other was forcing the head
waters by dam into the main
river, widening, deepening and
charging the channel and
Strengthening it at places, thus
taking care Of the flood waters
while the ditch would take care
of all surface water, fully protect
ing the land. The expense of the
full Improvement would be APP
proximately S1,4OO,O0O. The es-
timated cost made some of the
land owners vince. There will
no doubt be variance of opin-
ions in regard to making the inn
provements, but it rests with a
majority Of the trustees.

WA[THA[L |S POE
 IN THE "RAVEN''
The Presentation of the PhOtOdrama at the
 Empress

Far surpassing in point of acting any photo drama that has ever been shown
 in Phoenix is The Raven" the present offering at the Empress theater. Not only the acting, but the splendid man. ner in which the picture has been pro- duced holds keen interest in the trag
 edy, but the correctness of detail of the life of the famous and lovable American poet commands attention.
 Henry B. Walthall has been declared by critics universally to have reached the highest degree of acting in The Raven" and he is equal to them. His understanding and sympathy with the eccentric genius whose dstempered imagination conceived America's great est poem is marvellous. He is Poe. The life of the poet is at any time soul stirring, and when pictured by the greatest of artists the appeal is tre-
 mendous. Walthall's acting through
 out is superb. Just as the tragedy in a measure is poetry, so is his acting, and yet the dramatic values are not overlooked. Charles J. Brabin, who directed the production, has achieved remarkable results. The effects are ar tistic, unusual and forceIul, but always the predominant note is Walthalls s characterization of Poe founded on the novel of George Hazelton. The pho toGraphy is excellent. The camera man has produced telling effects with double exposures. The illusions are wonder ful. By special request Manager Pur- vines will give a matinee this after noon, and this evening the picture will be shown for the last time
