Plan Campaign For
Money For Soldiers

At a meeting of the general commit
tee that is in charge Of raising money
for gifts for the Marshall county SOL
diers, held Wednesday afternoon at the
Marshalltown Club. ii was found that
budget Of $1,000 must be raised to do
what the committee has set out to do.
OF this amount ss51.25 had been given
or subscribed, practically all Of it IN
this city. 1t is thought that it will
proba bly, be necessary to organize and
conduct a campaign in the country and
the other towns of the county unless
voluntary subscriptions come in faster.
It is estimated that 1t will take this
amount of money to buy medals and
watches for all Marshall county's en-
listed and drafted men. who are now
in the army, or who are to go later
and 10 pay the postage or express on
the gifts so that they can be placed in
the hands Of men who were in service
before the movement was organized.
In order that the address of enlisted
men already in the service may be OBJ
tanned the committee will soon address
post cards with a return card, to the
nearest relative or friend Of each man
VINO mas gone from tiic CUtiitS, sehu-
ing the card to his home address. The
nearest relative or friend will be asked
to supply on the return card the ad-
dress of the soldier or sailor.
In order that each letter TO each sol
der boy who goes may be a personal
letter and not a printed copy. a move
ment is being organized to accomplish

rapher at the Marshalltown Club. has

LANGUAGE. MOT OFFERED NINEH
GRADE PuPILs-TAuGHT IN
TENTH GRADE.
PUPILS WHO STUDIED IT
WILL FINISH COURSE
# Decision Of Board Remains I'm
chanaed German Will Not Be Taught
at All in High School After This
Yea-SchooI Enrolment on the
Increase.

German, as a study for ninth grace
nuniIs of the high school, has been
stricken from the course of STUDY ior
that grade. The language has not been
offered the pupils of that grade, fol-
lowing the request of the board that
if possible the course of study be ar
ranged so that the language be not
taught. Ii is. however, being taught in
the tenth grade to those pupils, who
studied German last year in order that
thew can finish the course this year and
by doing so meet the requirements of
colleges that have required two years
of German in high schools as necessary
for entrance.
The action of Superintendent Palmer
in not including German in the course
of study for the ninth grade, as has
here tofore been the custom, resulted
from the request of the school board
ten days ago that the study OF the
language be discontinued at least as
long as the international situation was
as il is now. In order that the pupils
who had German in the ninth grade
last year. and are now in the tenth
grade, might make up their college
requirement of two years of German
it was felt necessary 10 continue the
course in that grade this year. If the
war should continue, and the decision
of the board remain as it is. after this
year German will not be taught at
all in the high school.
Enrolment Increases.
The total enrolment in the graded
and high schools Wednesday was 2,7S2,
an increase of twenty-eight over the
enrolment on the opening day OF
school and an increase of eighty five
over the enrolment the first day of the
1915 term. The enrolment in the
grades was 2,131 and in the high
school SOL. The latter is the largest
enrolment in the history ofthe high
school and is an increase OF twenty-six
since school opened. The maximum
enrolment last year in the high school
was $50 and Superintendent Palmer
thinks that it is probable that the max
imum has been reached this year be-
cause pupils who should be iii the tenth
and eleventh grades are out of school
doing work to take the place of older
young men who have enlisted. or who
are drafted. or who will be taken for

The Chicken in the Garden

From The Charlotte Observer:
The Lumbcrton Robesonian thinks
| it is sin and shame ''in these
times of high prices to see your neigh
bor's chickens get into your garden
and devour the things you are try
ing to raise to help out"
And for fact it is. Nearly all
towns have anti-chicken ordinances
and we believe there is a State law
governing the matter. At any rate
we should say that in war times il
might be in order for the owner of
a chicken raided garden to proceed
against the invaders under the gen
eral rules of war and save that par
ticular portion Of the country which
is under his protection. The chicken
that scratches up garden sass these
days deserves death without the
formalities of trial
