School Notes.

All students who attended the pic
ture show on March 6, and who may
have been exposed to smallpox, have
been excluded from school for a period
OF seven days. Students who had
been successfully vaccinated any
time prior to the appearance of the
disease in the community were not
excluded. This measure was adopted
on the advice of two physicians, and
it ist hoped that by excluding those
who may have been exposed that the
spread Of smallpox may be prevented.
Mr.. Hawkins, formerly president of
the Warrensburg State Normal school,
nowtraveling for Washington Univer.
sity, visited the Ironton High school
last week for the purpose of advertis.
ing his school among the students.
Because OF the appearance OF small.
pox in the community, the senior
play, what Became of Parker" has
been postponed until March 80, and if
necessary the time will be extended
beyond that date.

SOME STAGGERING
FIGURES.

1t seems almost Incredible to the av-
erage peaceful lay mind, especially to
those who have 40 first-hand knowl-
edge Of or experience in the arts of
war, that such a vast number of men
"a quarter of a million Italian SOL
diers recently captured by the Austrian
forces-could possibly be corralled and
held captive by force of either arms
or strategy. So gigantic, however, is
the scale on which the present war is
being conducted that even the stagger-
ing figures of the Italian retreat and
the Russian revolution will sink into
insignificance when compared to the
enormous loss of life to be recorded

ings certificate stamps, series of 1918,
and each of such stamps thereto af-
fixed will have a maturity value of So
on January 1, 1923, which will accord
ingly give each such certificate, when
bearing its full complement of such
stamps, a maturity value of 500 on
that date. The name of the owner of
a certificate is written upon it at the
time of issue and it is not transferable.
Provision is made for he redemption
of certificates prior to maturity at 8
per cent interest, so hat no loss is sus-
tanned in any event. If held to matur-
ity, of course the entire amount is paid
in full.
War savings certificates will be ex-
empt from taxation as to both prin-
cipal and interest, except inheritance
taxes, %surtaxes and excess profits tax
es. In this respect they are identical
with the 4 per cent liberty bonds just
issued by the government.
War savings certificates will be on
sale by postmasters, bankers and other
authorized agents during the first

pany A, U. 8. Engineers. In part, he
says:
have spent the past week at the
rifle range, from Z in the morning un-
til 6 at night. Next week we are going
to shoot for record-that is, each SOL
der is given a chance to qualify for
either marksman, sharpshOoter, or ex-
pert. If he does qualify, from two to
five dollars is added to his e For
marksman, 202 points out of n possible
300 is required; for sharpshooter, 234
out of 300, and for expert 254 points
is required. The ranges vary from 200
yards to 800. The 2OO-yard range is
for rapid-fire only. When we shoot
for record we fire 20 shots from each
range, ten shots of slow and ten of rap
id fire. AT 200 and 800 yards we use
II 6 and S-inch bullseye, which counts
five from 300 up to 800 yards a target
with an 1S-inch bullseye is used. 1
broke the Co. A record this week with
ten straight bullseyes at 800 yards.
They all wanted to know what part Of
the country / came from, and / told
them Wyoming.
1T is amusing to hear these eastern
farmers claiming to be expert shots.
They were all sure of qualifying, but
when it came to firing from the 500
yard range at rapid-fire, some of them
didn't ever hit the target, which is
exc feet.
AT 200 yards I made nine bullseyes
in succession, her a bunch of them
began kidding M and / guess 1 got
excited and pulled the last one off to
II side and got a four AT 600 yards
once L got 4s out of a possible 80, so
when it comes to shooting for record
next week / hope to bring down at least
sharpshooter-that is, if / don't get
excited.
I'VE are through with the infantry
drill now and expect to be turned over
for duty as soon as we get through
on the range, which will be about next
Thursday. That means that we will
be privates in the regular army. Our
duties from now on will consist of
guard duty, bridge and trench con-
struction. We will also receive in
struction In topography, sketching and
map reproduction. 1 am attending
French class on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. 1t is pretty hard for me to
French grammar, since 1 know
so little about English grammar.
Judging from the way they rush
things here, we will be going over be-
fore long. For my part, 1 would not
mind staying here all winter. We have
very comfortable quarters here, good
beds and mattresses, plenty of blank
cts and clean white sheets, four of
them a week, and we also have a COM

WALT is o FAT.

1t gives my SOU a wrench that 1 can't
join the boys, and e%xcavate a trench,
and make a warlike noise. l stick to
my abode and do my daily grind, be-
u Pm pigeon-toed, knock-kneed and
color-blind. Sol mt no hero's wreath,
no garlands or applause, because I've
store-made teeth, swayed back and
lumpy jaws. 1 see the boys go by, with
weary sigh-the march is not for me.
| may not near the drums, nor join
the gallant charge, because I've shriv-
eled gums, because my waist lines
large.
All, well, a gent can do his little
stunt at home, If he can't pot a few be-
yond the raging foam. By humping
all the day, and buckling down like
wax, methinks that 1 can pay each
added wartime tax. By helping
liquidate our Uncle's grievous bills, I'll
take my record straight, though shy Of
martial thrills. I'll pay up like a guy
who wants to do his share, so when the
boys 60 by, I'll get no stony stare. 1
cannot pack a gun, or WELD a snick-
ersnee, because l weigh a ton and

the hair, but that won't let me out

HERBERT.

What a friend we have in Hoover,
All the skies and thieves to bare.
What a surplus fat remover,
All our hungry pangs to share.
Ever present help in trouble,
Guide, philosopher and friend.
Pass the shark-meat and fried stubble
Will the conflict never end?
Have you trials and temptations,
When the appetite you'd curb?
When you would exceed your rations
Take it up with Uncle Herb.
When spaghet' you can't maneuver
And fried parsnips you abhor,
Take you troubles all to Hoover
That is just what he is for.
