washinuton,s Two Birthdays.

In 1852 Pope Gregory XIII ordered
that all the Catholic countries should
adopt a new calendar. This calendar
was correct and is at the present
time in general use throughout the
world. In the year that the calendar
was adopted ten days were dropped.
Thus the day after October of the
Julian calendar became October Is In
the Gregorian. This calendar was not
adopted by England until 1852. Wash
ington being born In 1882, lie was
twenty years old at the time the new
calendar was adopted. Thus his first
20 birthdays fell on. the 18th of Feb
ruary and the others fell on the 22nd.

HITCHING GROuND

Complaints have reached this Office
repeatedly of late about a lack Of
room for hitching purposes near the
court house. A casual investigation
appears to justify the complaint. As
things now stand there is room for
barely half dozen vehicles around
the blacksmith shop back of thu
courthouse.
We are very glad to learn that this
condition can be rcmcdicd with nj
most no expense.
The county is already in possession
OF an adequate space, well providcI
with shade trees, adjoining the court
house property, which is now mac
cesslble on account Of some fallen
trees and other rubbish that can be
cleared up by one man in half a dav.
We suggest that two OPENINGS be
made to this property: one at the
lower side Of the John RatlifT bIacl,-
smith shop, the other a little further
west, so that vehicles may enter
through the alleyway between C. M.
Funderburk Furniture store and the
Chesterfield Drug store.

ITALY'S PART IN THE WAR

In comparison with the discussion
by the press and people of the various
features of the great war there has
not been much said about Italy. And
yet the part played by the little ma
tion has been remarkable. We Amer
leans have little appreciated the great
assistance rendered by Italy to the
allies, because probably, our attention
has been given more closely to the
activities of Great Britain and France.
The New York Times makes this
just and pertinent statement as To
ltaly's patriotic and important con
tribution to the allied cause.
Even at the beginning Of the war
1taly's carefully reasoned and fully
justified abandonment Of the Con-
tral Empires, with which she had been
in alliance, was Of enormous service,
in that it relieved France from what
otherwise would have been the task
or guarding her Italian frontier.
After some months of comprchrnSi-
bic delay, Italy entered actively into
the war on the side of the allies, tim
ing her declaration of bclligcrcncy 50
that it stopped German rush into Rus
sia and compelled Germany and Aus
tria to use against Italy great num-
bers of troops drawn from the east
ern and western fronts. At DuraZZo

voice to a thought that has been in

ported to Germany, where they may

TIE SCHOOL QUESTION

The question of doing away with
the graded school district and letting
the town system take its place is to
come before the voters at high school
hall, Wednesday evening, Jan. oath.
The voters interested should be pres
ent.
The plain facts in the case are clear
and easily understood. The change
will do away with the district school
board OF trustees OF seven members
and substitute therefor the town
board OF three trustees. The village
the first year would have only one
member of this school board as the
| members are elected for three years
| and only one is to be elected this
year.
1t will not change over the school
| system. The plan OF education in the
state is now pretty much in the hands
| Of the state department of education
and about all the local authorities have
to do is TO pay the bills. The change
really does nothing except to make
| the village and rural districts one or.
gsnization instead of two as at pres
ent.
| Along with this union would go an
| equalization OF taxes. II the district
votes to throw up its charter it Will
| put the cost of the schools on the
| combined village and town Approx
mately 1t will reduce taxes in the vii
lase about twenty cents ON the dollar
and increase taxes outside the village
about thirty cents on the dollar.
| This isn't so unjust as it seems at
first glance. In the past the district
voters have paid the extra costs and
the town pupils have had the benefit
without paying their share Of the ex
pense. The village has supported a
high school that costs $50 per pupil
to maintain and has been admitting
| pupils from outside at from SIS to
$3.50 per year tuition
During the past forty years the dis
trict has paid for s15o,00o worth OF
| school property. The rural districts
have largely had the benefit OF this in
vestment without paying any share in
the cost
There is outstanding. however, q
debt of $4,000 on the high school and
this the rural voters win have TO hell
pay II the change is made. To off
set this they will share in the owner
ship of the Godfrey trust funds which
we're bequeathed to the graded dis
trict.
The rural voters have no say in the
matter. The voters Of the graded dis
trict formed the district ana can give
