CHILDREN OF EMERSON
SCHOOL MAKE A RECORD

During the past school month, ending
Friday, among the thirty-sK scholars Of
the Fifth and Sixth grades of the En-
merson school, of which Miss Marie
Lunde is the teacher, there was not a
single tardy nor absentee mark recorded.
It is difficult to say which, the children
or the teacher were the more elated
over the achievement Of the youngsters.
The children have been taking deep
interest in the outcome of the struggle
to prevent the entering of black mark
against the names of any of the at
tendants at the school. This is an UNI
usual record for any school to make
and the members are justly proud Of the
result of their efforts.

PATRIOTISM AND PROFIT

"A critical stage has been reached by
the live stock industry and it is up to
everybody to do his t'bit. = "a Richmond
is in the field in the person Of Uncle
Sam, now the worlds largest meat pur-
chaser. The nation meat requirements
have never been as great and as the
war progresses this demand will be
augmented.
After the war the worlds herds and
focks will be depleted, insuring the
American producer high prices for many
4. E s.S.rs to come. Now is the time to
prepare. 5s.
Heretofore the mission Of the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition has been
to promote the welfare Of the industry
and conduct comprehensive system of
training along economic lines.
The institution is meeting the emer-
gency by planning prompt response to
new consumptive conditions. More beef,
pork and mutton without delay is the
plea Of the food administration.
This encyclopaedia Of the live stock
industry will again open its highly
illustrated pages to the public at Chicago
during the first week of December. It
will be preliminary to a-great drive for
more meats to feed the army. the civilian
population, and the allies. Incidentally
this drive will put money in the pockets
of such producers as are alive to the
situation.
Patriotism and profit constitute good
combination. This is moment when
the call of the nation, among other things,
is for more meat. The international
Live Stock Exposition is endeavoring
to stimulate the producers of the country
to an emphatic answer.
In this supreme test private interest
must be subordinated to that Of public
need.
Visit the International this year; as
certain what others are doing and emu

road, about two miles south Of town.
The result was disastrous to- the cars.
but fortunately none of the occupant
were seriously injured.
Coming From Iowa.
Mr.. Willard and his family were on
their way from their home in Iowa to
Olivia, near which place he owns farm.
Mr.. Teigen had been to this city and
was returning home when the. accident
occurred. His car was just behind a
wagon loaded with gravel, ascending the
hill, which he attempted to pass, not
seeing the other car coming down the
hill. AS he swung around the wagon
his car collided with the Iowa auto,
throwing the latter from it's course and
it rolled thru the brush at the side of the
road and down the ten-foot embank-
ment, carrying its occupants with it.
All of the members of the Willard family
were held fast under the car, Mr.. Willard
being pinned between the ground and
the steering wheel. A wheel was taken
from the Teigen car, but otherwise it
was not badly damaged, and the driver,
who was the sole occupant was not in
jured.
Men working on the highway and the
driver of a passing automobile promptly
rescued the Wizards and they were brot
to town, where they were attended by a
physician. While somewhat bruised and
badly shaken up, Mrs. Willard was not
seriously hurt, while her hus band suffered
a slight fracture of one of his ribs. The
boy was not injured in the least, but

seemed within their grasp and by
mistakes of head and hand tossed
away their cha noes. The white Sox
defeated the Gksnts not because they
were intrinsIcally the better baseball
club. but because they were the better

different thing.
Neither team played up to the full
measure of its strength. Each made
costly mistakes, but the Sox showed
an ability to rally which the Giants
lacked. Before the games started tho
clubs on paper appeared to be nearly
equal AS far as inherent power was
concerned their showing proved this
estimate to be nearly correct. The
difference was that the White Sox
were able to extract about so per cent
efficiency from their total power
while the Giants could extract but 40
per cent.
Upon It's home field and under the
most favorable conditions each club
won two games. 1t at once became
apparent that in order to win the
