VIZ ASHINGToN, April 1 ~
wv That the people of the Uni
ted States are back of President
Wilson, ready to support him in
his determination that the time,
has come to enter the field as an
open enemy of Germany because
of repeated transgressions of
American rights, is evidenced by
the thousands of kilograms that
are arriving for the Chief Execu-
tive from Americans in all parts
Of the Union and abroad, each
pledging the answering loyalty
Of the senders and pledging his
support to the President.
These messages are taken as an
indication of the war sentiment
that exists throughout the coun-
try, the messages bearing none of
the evidences of concerted and
prearranged teIegraphic campaign.
The receipt of so many assurances
of support is said toihave enconr-
aged the President in the course
he has decided to take.

New Post Office Rules.

Postmasters over the country have
been supplied with new set of rules
which must be followed by the patrons
of the office if quick results are to be
obtained. Take slant at them:
No letters given out until they are
received. If you don't get letter or
paper on the day you expect it, have
the Postmaster or the employees look
through all the boxes and in the base
ment, too Your mail ought to be there
somewhere, and the force just loves to
hunt for it to please you. II your
friends don't write rave at the Post
master; he is to blame. II he tells you
there is no mail for you, put on a
grieved, sour look and tell him there
ought to be some. He is doubtless
hiding your mail for the pleasure of
having you ask for it. Ask him to look
again. II you are buying stamps, make
him lick EN- and putem on your par
cels-thats his business: that's what
the Government pays him forl When
you drop your letter in the mail box
fail to address the same, or forget the
stamp. The Postmaster delights in
filling the delivery window bars with
letters and postcards: "Held for de-
livery" Call and ask for your mail
every two or three hours during the
day and send the kids along between
your calls Turn all the touch buttons
on the lockboxes, and be sure TO drop
the fronts OF each box floorward These
rules will be observed to fit the office
force for Sunday school work and calm
prayer meeting experiences.

portant and should 20 forward In every

We all remember the old pathmastsr
days, when roads were built by sitting
down beside the road and telling stories
and doing next to nothing Then
came the new system Of hiring men

that was better tnan the old way 80 In
this bonding plan very much better
than that plan.
Bonding means getting concrete
roads now. Concrete roads that can
be used 365 days year. Good, smooth,
clean, dustless, roads, and roads upon
which you can haul larger and heavier
loads than on any other kind OF a road.
Bonding means saving 100 per cent
on your tires over a gravel road, with
its ruts and chuck holes. ] wonder IL

WONDERFULLY SHOWS
ALL NATIONALITlES.

OF vital interest to every American,
whether of native or foreign parentage,
is "The Stacker" Metros great seven
act production deluxe starring Emily
Stevens, to be seen at the Temple
Theatre on Thursday, Oct llth. De-
scendents OF all nations are represent
ed in this patriotic photodrama, which
has been written and directed by that
wizard Of the screen, William Christy
Cabanne. In turn are shown French
men, Italians, Englishmen, Roumanians
Chinese, Japanese, ETC., and then
these, massed together, dissolve into
one huge American flag, flying free
the true 'melting-pot" OF the nations
The same universal spirit of patrio-
tism is illustrated in the story OF the
production. Native-born Americans
hasten to enlist in army and navy and
do their bit" Chinaman, born here,

Fortunately il won ten dollars collec-
lively SO her work was not in vain. The
Walker display was the most remark
able surprise of all Due TO lack of
space there was but small space left
which was just large enough for this
display. 1t had to be placed here altho
the light was poor in this corner, and
many failed to see it. The judges be-
gan their work and 10 and behold al
most every first prize in this class was
awarded to this little exhibit way off in
the corner by itself. 1t had followed
the premium list in its choice of
material and il had also been selected
from the very best work in the school
instead of displaying all of ii as is some
times done. Its size alone prevented
it from carrying off all the premiums in
that class. The Slaughter school was
the only school bringing bird houses
and also had such splendid patriotic
poster that the judges made special
entry for it. Deer Lake school had
some beautiful work exhibited altho il
did not follow along lines in which
prizes were offered and there was so
much competition in the cut work and
drawing that one would need to have
expert pupils in order to win. Marion
Center and Ironton competed easily
with the city schools in local map draw
ing altho these schools are listed in a
class with rural schools instead of with
the city schools. Three Bells, Marion
Center, Ironton and Slaughter school,
all had some very good sewing done by
girls, Friday afternoons and recesses.
The boys in the Ironton grammar
grades had done wood work that was
very interesting and commendable.
The first prize collectively was granted
to Ironton for the largest, good display
of general school work, second to
Three Bells, and third to the little but
remarkable display Of the Walker
school.
Many teachers who were visiting the
building on school day remarked that
they gained some excellant ideas, and
the boys and girls stood wide-eyed be-
fore the work done by their neighbors.
We are sorry the building is SO small
but so many have promised assistance
if an addition should be built that with
little cooperation from the exhibitors
we hope never again to be compelled
to turn away work done by hopeful,
earnest boys and girls.
One of the best features of the Fair
was the splendid cooperation of the
schoolboards near and far. Almost
every school within radius OF twenty
miles closed down for at least one day
so that all possible could attend the
Fair-to learn and to enjoy.
