AiIIRIlsoA FiRsT AND LAsTl

by Clarence Stratton, vice pres
ident National Council of
Teachers of English.
All the foreigners within our
boundaries are here by their own
initiatives; they have chosen to
live in the United States. While
they are here they should con-
form to our national life; they
should obey our institutional
regulations. There should be no
loophole of linguistic ignorance
to explain or excuse any violation
of our laws. No foreign-born
agitator should be tolerated for a
minute to interfere with laws, as
was done recently in the draft
registration. The hundreds oil
densely populated districts in our
cities where English is a foreign
tongue should be Americanizcd
Immediately.

what they could toward providing
the soldier boys with Christmas

tunlty to earn the money, and the
results are as follows: High
school, $l9.45; Junior high
school, $500; First ward, $1,000:
Third ward, st1.15, making a to-
tai of $4,000 which will go to
make the boys Christmas more
cheerful. The boys and girls re-
sponded nobly and should be
commended for their work.

0OUVO6 WOI60.
Quite number of our school
boys do not as yet have places to
husk corn the, last three days of
this week. Any farmer wishing
help should phone $50.
Our schools in all departments
will be dismissed Thursday and
Friday Of this week to give the
teachers an opportunity to attend
the Nebraska state meeting at
Omaha. fys
Grace Briggs, who has been alb
sent from the high school for
some time, has resumed her work,
Misses Griffis and Spooner are
unable to teach this week. Mrs.
A. G. Bonham is acting as snbsti-
lutte for the former and Miss Haz-
rl Sudduth and Miss Laura Haight
members of the normal training
class, are taking charge of Miss
SpOoner's work.
The next number of the lecture
course will occur Saturday eve
ming, Nov. IL. The entertainment
will be given by Fred l.. Jones, the
popular entertainer and imper-
senator. Preceding this lecture
arrangements are being made for
a half hour of musical program
for those who wish to come. The
musical program will begin at
7:l5 and the lecture at 8:i5
O'Clock. The music will be fur
nished by the high school orches-
ira, Mrs. R. C. Hills, G.. w. Gar
lock, and some patriotic songs by
double quartctte of high school
girls. This preliminary part of
the program will be worth the
price OF admission. Season tick
cts for the next four numbers
may yet be purchased for the
nominal sum of 80 cents for adj
ults, 30 cents for grades, and 60
cents for high school students.
AT the present time we lack only
$4,000 of having enough to pay
for the entire course. Remember
the surplus goes to the purchase
of gymnasium equipment for the
school. Single admissions for
this number will be 20 and 80
cents.
The high school acknowledges
its gratitude TO the three citizens.
Messrs. Leon Brown, Geo. Kellogg
and A. II. Sniff for the presenta-
ton of two flags week or so
ago.
The school contemplates the
putting on of an entertainment i'm
few weeks, the receipts to be
equally divided between the two
most worthy organizations, the
Red Cross and the Y. M. C.. A.
Watch for the date and plan to
be present.
On account of the overcrowded
condition of the first and second
grades at Third ward it is neces-
sary TO add another teacher. The
enrolment in the first grade is
now 50, and so in the second.
Forty of the 50 in the first room
are boys, significant fact for
war times. A vacant room exists
at the First ward to which Miss
Bolton and her pupils will be
transferred. These pupils are
large and strong enough to walk
that extra distance and we trust
that all patrons whose children
are affected by the change will
enter no protests against the ac-
ton of the Board of Education.
All children have birthright to
an education and are entitled to
good start. With such over
crowded conditions it is neither
just to the pupils or teachers, as
The most efficient work is impos-
sible.

Largest Exclusive Calendar
Manufacturers in the
World
Has Vacancies on Its Sales
Force for a Few Really
High Grade Statesmen

We have found that our most Sue
cessful men have not been recruited
from those already on the road, but
from the ranks of propnetors of retail
stores who could sell lots of goods, but
whose profits were small, or they were
high-class clerks who had reached the
limit of their earning capacity in towns
of this size.
One owned bicycle store. He
sold nearly every bicycle in the vii
lage. But what did that amount tot
Another was considered the best clerk
in his home town, but that only meant
very moderate salary in little place.
A third was manufacturer who could
sell his goods well enough, but whose
factory expenses ate up his selling
profit
There are undoubtedly four OF FIVE
men of similar type in this locality who
can immensely better their own condi-
ton and make money for us by joining
our sales force.
We cannot offer big money for
little work. To be successful you
would have to WORK HARD AND
CONTINUOUSLY. We are not
looking for inexperienced boys, or old
men, or statesmen who drift from one
house to another. But if you are such
man as we have described our sue
cessful statesmen to be; if you have tho
ability to close deals; if you are plug
ger who never gives up, you can do
well on our sales force. And if it's IN
YOU, you can make very large sum
.yearly. THE OPPORTUNITY IS
THERE.
To such men we will advance
money for expenses while trying the
work, and pay the cost of trip to our
factory for instruction in Murphy cal
endar craftsmanship. Your cores
pondence will be held confidential
while you are considering the matter
if you so desire.
