SCHOOL EXHIBIT.

Several years have elapsed
since the Missouri Valley public
schools have attempted to place
before the public as complete an
exhibit as.will be shown this year.
This exhibit will have some fin
lshed product from every depart
ment in our schools. The art ex-
hlblt this year will rank second
to none ever put on by our school.
Samples OF penmanship, finished
products from the manual train
ing department., specimens of
work done in the sewing depart
ment, construction work by the
kindergarten children and prim-
airy grades, geographical maps,
charts, etc, all these can be seen
at our school exhibit Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week.
The exhibit will be held in the new
gymnasium. For the benefit of
hose who cannot come during the
day the building will be open from
8 to 9:30 each evening. This will
also give the people from the
country an opportunity 10 see
some of the work being done in
[our schools. Plan to attend. II
will be worth seeing. Visitors will
be expected TO register their
names. We hope TO have large
attendance.

RED CROSS MEETING.

The usual Red Cross meeting
will be held Wednesday evening
at the library. The work of per-
fecting the permanent organiza-
ton will first be taken up. Then
the report of the secretary on the
membership to date will be heard,
following which the matter of a
Junior Red Cross, including the
young people of both sexes, will
be considered. This branch is
being formed in many places, so
as to utilize the eagerneSs of the
young people to- assist in as many
ways in the patriotic work Of the
Red Cross as possible.
1t is hoped that more men will
join and attend these meetings
than heretofore, as the men will
be called into active field service
lin numbers equal to or exceeding
| the women called to the same
work. Then, too, the matter of
forming camps of Red Cross
workers in all adjacent precincts
will need attention. Come out.
We should have at least 200 in
attendance at this meeting. There
is work ahead for all-of us.

nLUE SUNDAY.

Yesterday was Blue Sunday
over the state and it surely was
blue. The local merchants were
notified Sunday morning that the
law would be enforced and there
was lively scramble to shut off
all prohibited sales. Many of the
drug stores had large stocks Of
ice cream on hand, but they de-
cided that it would be better to
lose the cream than to pay a
heavy fine. Chewing tobacco,
lcigars and tobacco, chewing gum
and the like were strictly tabooed
land many who had not laid in a.
isupply of the weeds would swear
they were among the necessities
and should be sold. So far there
have been no arrests here, as
nearly all the merchants tried to
obey the letter of the law. The
garages are probably as hard hit
as anyone, as Sunday is equal to
about two week days, but they
closed up just the same. Boot
llegging is usually associated with.
strong drink, but if the blue laws
continue to be enforced we may
see ice cream and cigar bootleg
gers sneaking behind trees and in
the alleys. Had the legislature
done their duty as they We're
elected to do, in place of spend
| ing all their time playing politics,
these obnoxious laws would have
been repealed, as they have been
dead so long that it is a shame to
disturb their crumbling homes.
Politics are all right in their
place, but when it comes to hit
|ting the pockelbooks and appe-
lites of nearly all the residents of
| the state, we imagine there will be
some OF the politicians who will
wonder what struck them when
The votes are counted next time.

and pupils have been working
hard to get worthy products to
represent the kind of work that is
being done in our schools. Par
tents and friends are not only re-
quested, but urged to attend this
exhibit. The building will be
open certain hours in the evening
so that all have an opportunity to

gun the evil work of pulling the

FORD SUGGESTS BUILDING
NEW PLANTS IN SOUTH

WASHINGTON. December ct-Aftcr
a preliminary study of shipbuildinE
conditions. Henry Ford. serving as a
manufacturing expert for the Ship
ping Board. has reported that. as
speedy construction of ships depends
in large measure on the extent TO
which fabricatinG processes are en-
ploycd. II large number of fabricat-
ing steel yards should be erected in
the South similar to three yards the
government is having constructed or
the Delaware River.
Mr.. Ford's idea is to improve on the
Delaware yards by introducing in those
he recommends building in the South
methods employed SO succcsgfully in
the Ford automobile plant. The end :.
less chain system OF construction
would be applied to shipbuiIdng so
far as IT would he practicable.
The Shipping Board has not indi :
Gated how far it will 30 in adopting
Mr.. Fords suggestions. The announced
policy has been to build no more new
yards until those now in course of
construction are completed and turning
out ships. II construction OF addi-
tional yards is decided TO be advis-
able, however. 1t is entirely likely
that most of them will be placed in
the South to relieve congcsted railroad
traffic conditions in the East.
