public school system is dominated
by our universities, whose slogan
is: Never mind training the boy
or girl for the work of man or
woman. Train them to follow a
university course, irrespective of
the fact that nine-tenths of them
never enter university
From time to time the Times
will run some matter showing
the public some of the ridiculous
Inconsistencies imposed upon our
public schools by this pernicious
university system.
"The Times has not withheld
commencement news in spirit
of retaliation, but simply as a
method of calling attention to the
fact that really as a matter of
simple justice there is nothing
coming to the class of 1917 from
the Times, except at regular adj
vertising rates"

Sergeant Atwood of Council
Bluffs was here today visiting
friends.
Miss Amy Enright was a pas
senger this morning to Sioux
City. 49,.
The rain last night, while not
absolutely necessary, will do a
world of good, as the ground has
been very dry and it takes con-
siderable moisture to put it in
condition. One more good rain
in about week or ten days will
give the corn belt one of the most
phenomenal crops in the hist5ry
OF the country. This is one of
the surest and safest ways to can
the kaiser.
The chautauqua opened this
afternoon to large and enthus-
iastic crowd. The program this
year is a strong one and should
receive even better patronage
than previous years.
For the next year the motto of
every American should be "Can
the Kaiser!" Do your bit, wheth-
er you are raising corn or rails
ing an army.
w. H. Potter, while digging po-
tatoes in his garden this morn
ing, ran across curiosity that
made his eyes bulge out. He dug
up potato which seemed to be a
peculiar shape and when he ex-
amined it he found it very hard
He took it to the house and when
he washed it off he found the po-
tato had grown through a bone
1t had evidently simply forced its
way through, as it was consider
ably larger than the bone at botf
ends and wedged tightly in it. II
is now on exhibition at Harvey
drug store.

EDWARD LEONARD WALKER

Edward Leonard Walker, little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ora F.. Walk
er of Ottumwa, was born Decem-
Der "a, 1916, and departed this
life August 3, 1917, aged Z
months, 12 days.
LiHle Leonard was i'll some
three weeks and suffered a great
deal toward the last, but was so
patient through it all and bore
his suffering with a childlike
simplicity that touched every
heart. Everything was done by
loving friends to restore him back
to health, but the grim reaper of
death overcame all their efforts
and his loving parents and
friends were forced to give him
up just when he had begun to be
such a source of comfort. Dur
ing his short life if every smile
he gave to his loved ones were to
be a blossom to his grave, he
would now sleep beneath a will
derness of roses. The little cas-
ket was almost hidden by beau
tiful flowers from the many
friends of the bereft.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Edgar Price, were held at
the residence. of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Hall on East Erie Sun
day afternoon. Remains were
laid to rest in Rose Hill ceme-
terry.

MODERN WARFARE.

The United States is actually Ell
gagged in war. Somehow we find 1T
hard to grasp the fact and face it, not
withstanding the many evidences on
all sides. Some of the regulars are al
ready on the firing line in France and
Uncle Sans battleships are helping
the allies in the strenuous Job OF po-
licing the high seas.
1t has been nineteen years since
iUncle Sam tangled with Spain and
lifted the burden of cruelty and OPP
,pression from Cuba and the Philip
pines, and more than fifty years since
the North and the South resorted to
ARMS to settle certain disputes and
MISUNDERSTANDING. Meantime meth
lOdS of carrying on the horrid trade of
WAR have changed entirely. Doubt
less it is proper to say progressed" in
this connection, because the destruc-
ition of life and property has become a
Thousand times more deadly.
+ Only meager proportion of Uncle
Sans 1OO,OOOOOO citizens will actually
get within sight and sound of the
dreadful tragedy being enacted across
1.-THE Atlantic. The rest will have to
acquire knowledge and information
through the medium of the printed
page, the camera and demonstrations
in the line of open-air pageants.
OF the latter the spectacular produc-
ton entitled, "Modern Warfare" to be
staged at the coming state fair takes
precedence over all other means of en-
lightenment for showing actual meth
ODDS of warfare. Blowing up forts, bonn
harding cities, battles between power
full air machines will be shown. Also
trench fighting and the up-to-date war
enginery in the way of siege guns,
tanks, etc.
The troops engaged in this mimic
warfare will be correctly costumcd to
represent the different nations, and if
!. will all be very thrilling, very realistic
and give the onlooker Il mach clearer
idea of how war is actually conducted
than volumes of printed matter could
do. This spectacle will be presented
| every night during the fair, staged in
! the centerfield in front of the amphi-
| theatre.

A HINT TO AUTO BUYERS.

Dear Reader, are you planning to
treat yourself. to a new automobile
sometime within the coming year? If
SO accept hint or two, which, posi-
bly, had not occurred to you.
A worldwide war is in progress,
with practically all the civilized ma
tons of the earth involved. War is
inexpressibly destructive, regarded
from any and every point of view. The
first and most terrible toll is human
life. The next is the destruction of the
worlds available supply of iron, cop
per, tin. zinc and other necessary com
modties. When foodstuffs are con-
sumed or destroyed they can be re-
placed and rcplenishcd indefinitely
from year to year as the farms yield
their bounty. But The minerals and
metals taken from the earth and de-
stroycd can never be renewed nor
made to grow ag..in. When Il locomo-
tive, an airsliip Il great steel battIesllip
or piece Of machinery of any kind is
blown to Smithereens the materials
used in construction are gone for the
balance of time. And right there lies
one of wars greatest extravagances
perhaps the greatest. Supplies of this
kind are being drawn upon and de-
stroyed at such an alarming rate that
the thoughtful minded may well worry
| for the future.
Do you see the point? Then why moi
| make your plans to attend the state
fair, study the big automobile show
with it's 1918 styles and models and
| place your order for a new car while
prices are still fairly moderate. The
man who thinks he will be able to buy
an auto-Or any other piece of machin
| cry, for that matter--cheaper mex
year than he can buy it now is making
! wild guess, as he will discover if he
pOstpOneS the purchase.
The auto show ut the state fair viii
easily eclipse any event of the kline
yet seen in Iowa, and the new model.
| which will be on exhibition will not be
| in evidence at any auto show unit
sometime in the spring of 1918.
hint to the wise is generally sufficient
