"Spizerinctum is what we want in
this campaign" said Arthur F. Hall,
president Of the Pioneer Life Insur-

Y. M. G.. A. at noon today. SpiZer-
inctum is a new word, he said, much
stronger than enthusiasm, so much so,
in fact, that 1t makes the old word
look pale.
Spizerinctum is what is really
developing in connection with the Y.

appropriation bill to make it q crime
to ship, liquor into prohibition states
was added by Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri,. to the Jones amendment barr
ing newspapers Or other publications
or letters and postal cards containing
liquor. advertisements from the mails
in states which have laws against
such advertising. 1t was adopted af-
ter brief debate by a vote Of 45 to IL
by the senate sitting as committee OF
the whole.
The Reed amendment which awaits
a final vote in the senate proper fol-
lows:
Whoever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce except
for scientific, sacramental medicinal or
mechanical purposes into any state or
territory the laws Of which state or
territory prohibit the manufacture or
sale therein of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes, shall be punished
by fine of not more than $1,000 or
imprisoned not more than six months,
or both, and for any subsequent Of
Tense shall be imprisoned for not more
than one year.
The effect of this provision, If final
ly accepted by. the senate and agreed
to by the house will be to make all
prohibition states bone dry"
1t will operate against provisions in
some states permitting transportation
of limited amounts OF liquor for indi-
vidual consumption.
The ordinal Jones amendments to
bar from the mails newspapers and
other publications carrying liquor ad-
vertisements in states having anti
liquor advertising laws attaches the
same penalties as provided in the
Reed amendment. Under this provi-
sion no newspaper. pamphlet, letter.

or other publication or the
agent TX any such publication or any
dealer in such liquors or his agent
shall knowingly" cause liquor adver-
tisements to be mailed IN violation OF
the proposed law, he shall be guilty
of violating the law.
Representative Randall of Californ-
ia announced the passage OF the Jones
amendment in the house late yester-
day and said he would ask the house

METAL
MARKERS
County Commissioners Will
Mark Meridian Road as
Well as Red Trail
TO Be SET IN CONCRETE
Metal Posts Will Be Put in
Cement and Sheet Metal
Signs Put on Top

The county commissioners have de-
cided to change the name of the
north road" on which so much work
was done last summer. to the meridian
road and this highway will be marked
with metal signs as will also the Red
Trail through Cass county.
The north" or meridian road, as it
is known now, runs north out Of Far
go on Broadway through HARDWOOD,
Argusville, Gardner and Grandin and
was last summer made one of the best
highways in the county. Just as soon
as possible 1t is the intention of the
county commissioners to do great
deal Of work on the meridian road
south out of the city and to make it
the same as the trail to the north
county line.
The county commissioners yesterday
afternoon entered into a contract for
a new design metal road marker. This
sign which Is about 1x3 feet Is OF
heavy shee iron on which is stamped
the designation of the road and the
miles to the nearest towns on the
trail. The sign is painted black with
the official road color at the. top. and
the road name in silver letters. Below
this are the names of the two nearest
towns, the miles and arrows designat-
ing directions. stamped in and painted
in silver.
These signs will be put on a heavy
metal post which will be set in con-
crete and will be very durable.
County Auditor w. r. Tucker stated
today that he was going to present to
the county commissioners the matter
of having a standing reward offered
for the conviction of any person who
defaces, destroys or attempts to deface
or destroy road markers and believes
that in this way a stop can be put
to the vandals that take delight in
shooting up and tearing down signs.
Not only will the meridian road be
marked in this way north to the col1n-
ty line with about thirty-flve Of these
signs, but the Red Trail west out OF
the city will be marked in a like man
ner this matter having been decided
at the Wednesday session of the
board.
The new markers will be put up as
soon as weather conditions permit "a
they will be delivered here by spring.
It is believed that the Trail county
authorities will also take up the mat
ter of properly marking the Meridian
road from the Cass-Tr boundary to
HilIsboro and probably further.

PROHIBITION
DRAWS NEARER
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 16.-Prohibition
took a step forward in both branches
of congress. In the senate drastic
amendments to the postal appropria-
ton bill were agreed to which would
make criminal the importation Of
liquor into states which prohibit it's
manufacture and sale for beverage
purposes and which would exclude
liquor advertisements from the mails
in states which legislate against such
advertising.
On the house side the national pro-
hibition constitutional amendment was
favorably reported from the judiciary
committee with prediction by
Chairman Webb that 1t would be
passed within week. Champions OF
prohibition greeted this announce
ment with enthusiasm in spite of their
realization that passage in the house
will end action on the amendment in
sofar as this session of congress Is
concerned.
There is no thought of action by
the senate before March 4 when the
sixty-fourth congress dies.

The Minnesota, it is said, will be the
largest vessel thus far to pass through

would draw more than forty feet and
would not be able to go through.

NUMBER44

during the next year; Early in the
fall the interest formerly shown by
parents and pupils begins to wane, you
frequently hear mutterings and grum.
bling from the pupils and the attend
ance takes big slump. The grade
teachers lose interest in their work be-
cause they have 40 educational leader
to inaugurate and push movements
that would tend to strengthen the work
and keep up the interest in the school
plant, and many other things happen
that indicate general dissatisfaction.
This man has missed his calling. In
the educational field his services are
not only worthless but are a positive
detriment to the community.
l have endeagored to show the two
extremes. We have teachers who full
ly measure up TO the first standard and
a large number who very nearly reach
that standard. These arn't all in our
high schools and graded schools; some
will be found in our one-room rural
schools.
| submit the following as good
method of estimating the value of the
services of our educators: Make list
OF their worthy achievements, giving
each value according to influence it
has exerted in the betterment of the
school and other conditions in the COM
munity. Opposite this place list of
the mistakes made and the duties that
have been neglected. Be fair and do
not allow PERSONAL BIAS either for or
against the teacher to influence you in
making the list. Neither should you
be mislead by some narrow. minded
person who may have personal griev-
ance that is not germane to the ques-
| tion under consideration. If the first
column is much longer than the second
and the teacher is now rendering good
service, he or she should be retained
il possible; but on the other hand,
should the probability of getting bet
ter service by making a change be
greater than that of getting less eni-
cient service, then change should be
made.
Some people allow trihing mistake
to loom up like mountain and OBJ
cures their vision, so that long record
of achievement is completely eclipsed
so far as they are concerned. Let us
be open.minded and charitable in max.
ing our estimates and be actuated only
by the noble motive of giving our ed
ucators square deal" and giving
credit where credit is due. The faith
ful observance OF this principle on the
part OF our citizens would have a sau-
tary effect on our schools, inasmuch as
1t would encourage our educators to
put forth their best efforts and render
the best possible service, knowing that
their devotion to duty would be Justly
rewarded.

the excellenence of his record. Mr..
Joyce has been singularly useful and
a highly respected commissioner since
his first term. Enmities are engen.
dered as often as friendships are form.
ed in this office and rare is the dis
position of tie commissioner who can
keep in good humor with all indvid-
uals and without apparent effort keep
everyone in good humor with him.
Such disposition makes Walter
joyce exceptionally well liked and his
appointment will meet with general
approval.

ed to S467, ,57l.13, An increase of $780,
357, making a grand total increase for
the county on all taxes of $3S9, ,00S. SO in
the five years.
Twenty.eight per cent of the total

tion-support of the schools, forty-one
per cent of taxes is used for local pur
poses, 20 per cent for county and 10 PEI
cent goes to the state.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)
THE VALUE OF
EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP

THE VALUE OF
EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP.
One problem that should receive
more interest and attention from peo-
pie who are interested in the education
of our children is the significance OF
active educational leadership on the
part Of teachers and supervisors.
To illustrate: A man is engaged for
the position OF supervising principal of
one OF the high schools Of the state
where very little interest has been
shown in educational matters for some
time. After he has had charge OF the
school for month or two, the spirit
of the school changes, the students are
enthusiastic and happy In their work,
the teachers vie with each other In
performing arduous tasks without
complaint, parents are telling of the
good work that is being done, and it
seems that everybody is boosting for q
good school.
After he has been on the job for a
short time, he becomes informed on
the home conditions of each family,
learns why some who should be in
school have quit and lays plans for in.
teresting them in again taking up the
school work and completing the high
school course. AS result of these eff.
forts each year shows marked in
crease in the school attendance and
new courses are added making the
school more serviceable to the commu.
nifty. Furthermore, he stands for clean
athletics, clean moral and social condi.
tions, and is staunch champion OF all
movements that tend to make good
citizens OF our boys and girls.
maintain that no mount OF money
can adequately measure this mans ser.
vices to community. The only way
by which he may be fully paid is by
adding full measure of good will and
appreciation to the salary named IN
the contract. Still many times
thoughtless persons will severely criti.
else a slight mistake made by this man
to whom they owe so much and there
by take away much Of the happiness he
has rightfully earned.
The majority OF school boards recog.
nize superior service OF the kind men
toned by granting substantial in,
crease in salary. This is acting fol
the best interests of the people whom
they are serving because the services
OF able educational leaders are in de-
mand everywhere, and what calamity
it would be to the school II this man
were to be replaced by one who would
bring about the following conditions
