CEDAR BEACH ROAD WRECKlNG

Since the rain of last week the road
leading to Cedar Beach, where the
new fort is building. Is rapidly going
to pieces, and unless something is
done quickly it will be impossible
for even the heavy ten ton trucks
which are used to haul the material
from Milford to the fort site AL
ready the road is broken in several
places. and the truck drivers are find
ing it difficult to steer their loaded
machines. One was ditched and its
load dumped into the ditch at the
roadside this week. The machines
are requiring constant Ov2rhauling,
to keep bolts tight and to repair the
worn parts. It would be economy on
the part of the contractor to build
parts of this road. With these cou-
ditions existing before the wet season
starts, only a wild dream can foretell
the conditions when the winter
weather sets in. Farmers in that part
of Cedar Neck will do well to get all
hauling done at the earliest date pos
sible.

COERSES TO Be OFFERED STUDENTS

Dean Cullimore has announced that
certain courses will be offered in the
near future. designed to prepare men
who come within the draft for some
special work. Several letters from
the government have urged this train
ing. because of the small number Of
trained men available. In time of
so great necessity it is the duty of
every student to prepare himself as
best he can to serve the government
If men do not help the government
by getting this training of their ac-
cord, then much time will have to be
spent later in training camps. It is
highly probable that courses will be
offered in wireless telegraphy. map
drawing, etc.

er to lessen this task the following
regulations have been made:
The payments for the Liberty Loan
are to be paid to the teachers every
Monday. One cent will be added to
the payment of each pupil for every
day overdue. In order to avoid the
payment of these fines the pupils are
encouraged to pay, as much as they
can afford, in advance, If no pay
ment is made by a pupil for period
of two weeks. or if any pupil wishes
to discontinue the payments, the
share of that pupil will be sold to the
highest bidder in the school. who will
thereafter pay the weekly amount.
The sum received by the sale will be
given to the former owner after any
fines that are due have been deducted.

One BOTHER'S LETTER

Until the other day, young Carter
Vaughan was the city editor of the
Mexico (Missour) Ledger-one of the
best small town newspapers in the
country. In the drawing for the
chosen army his number came among
the first. And just before he left his
job for the biggest job in the world,
he got a letter from his mother. 1t
wasn't intended for publication but 1t
was so representative of the feeling
of millions of mothers that the editor
OF the Mexico Ledger asked permits
sion to print it, And because it re-
fleets the finest spirit of American
motherhood, we are proud to reprint
it, as follows:
Now, my son, don't feel afraid, for
mother is not going to make it hard
for you to go. l say this because it
seemed to me the last time l saw you
that you were not sure of me, and
seemed a little afraid of me- So,
just want to say, don't fear for moth
er, my boy. I won't attempt to deny
that it hurts me to have you go; there
will always be a feeling of anxiety
for you; but ten thousand times that
than the feeling of shame / would
have were you to try to evade the
duty that you owe to your country, to
yourself; yes, and to your God, for
this is His fight, a righteous cause
for which you are offering yourself.
The pride I feel in you and in the
spirit you are showing so far over
balances all else that l gladly see you
go; and it makes me hold my head
a little higher than l ever did, and
makes me look at these slackers l am
compelled to meet every day with
some pity, but with more contempt.

MADE THE KAISER?

Some folks were made to be sol-
diers,
And the Irish we're made to be cops,
Sauerkrout was made for the Ger
mans,
And Spaghetti was made for the
WOps.
Fish were made to drink water.
And buns were made to drink booze,
Banks were made to keep money,
And money was made for the Jews.
All things were made for something
Except a Stacker and miser;
God made Wilson for President,
But who in hell made the Kaiser?
