ABUSING FREE SPEECH

Before our nation enters a war it is perfectly proper to dis cuss the wisdom of going to war, but the discussion is closed when Congress acts. After that no one should be permitted to cloak attacks upon his government or aid to the enemy under the claim that he is exercising freedom of speech. No sympathy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpa- triotic utterances. They abuse free speech. And this applies to attacks upon the United States. We can no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can af- ford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us. We must stand to- gether and fight it through. There are only two sides to a war-every American must be- on the side of the United States.

Gambling Queen
 Betrays Plot
Steals Combination of Taber- nacle Vault - "Redeeming Love-" Thursday.

In "The Redeeming Love-" a Nor osco picture produced for the Para mount Program, are seen two well known stars, who, however, are mak- ing their debut as Morosco players. They are Kathlyn Williams and Thomas Holding. The former is making her first appearance in Para mount Pictures, but Mir. Holding has for some time been identified with the Famous Players Company, which also makes pictures for the Paramount Program.
 The Reckoning Love" is a power ful drama relating the story of a country girl, perhaps little too fond of gaiety, whose beauty fascinates a gambler who causes her to forget the young minister to whom she had been engaged. Naomi finally elopes with the gambler to the city, where she also becomes professional card player known as "The Gambling Queen"
 In the meantime Bancroft, the min lster, has been forging ahead and has become a great evangelist. Wiley, Naomi's gambler husband, finds out that Bancroft knows the combination to the vault of the great tabernacle over which he presides. To get this combination Wiley plans to have Ma omi lure Bancroft to her palace and get from him the desired combination, Keeping him a prisoner while the vault is being robbed.
 From this point the play sweeps on to a height of dramatic suspense and climax seldom equaled.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS

I have been informed that MT. D.. W. Pierce, principal of Blevins High School, is going to conduct four weeks Normal at Blevins, beginning Thursday, May 24. I think this is a good opportunity for a rural teacher to get the training of some of the larger schools at very low cost. MT. Pierce is we'll qualified and has his soul in the work. The county institute manual will be followed, special training in methods of teach ing, demonstration work in agricui- ture by the coutny agent, primary work by a primary teacher in clay modelling, paper cutting, etc. At least one speaker of statewide repu- tation each week. This Normal has the endorsement of the state depart ment of education. The expense will be very small as board can be had at $14.50 and tuition at $4.00. I will ex- cuse any teacher of my county from the institute if this Normal is at tended. I hope a number of them will take the opportunity.

The allowance for children is 81 .25 for

oUEEREsT OF SEA MAMMALS.
The Grotesque Wslrus Has a Strong
Maternal Instinct.

The walruses, or sea horses" of the
old navigators, are the strangest and
most grotesque of all sea mammals.
Their large, rugged heads, armed with
two long ivory tusks, and their huge
swollen bodies, covered with hairless,
wrinkled and warty skin, give them a
formidable appearance unlike that of
any other mammal. They are much
larger than most seals. the old males
weighing from 1000 TO 5000 pounds
and the females about two-thirds as
much.
Walruses have a strongly developed
maternal instinct and show great de-
votion and disregard of their own safe
ty in defending the young. The Eski-
mos at Cape Vancouver, Boring sea,
hunt them In frail skin covered kyaks,
using ivory or bone pointed spears and
sealskin floats.

but the Spaulding five was much faster
team on the floor, but they were out
weighed by at least 100 pounds, and their
strength was not sufficient to keep them
playing at the fast clip with which they
started. In the first period, with Sector,
playing at center, and johnson playing
forward, the team was displaying more
team work, but in the last two periods

tied the score and they finally won out In
the five minutes of overtime play.
For the Montpelier freshmen Whtcomb
played the fastest game, shooting seven
baskets while Smith at center shot three,
two of them edging on the stellar variety.
For Spaulding, Densmore had the best
success at caging the bali and proved to
be the most accurate foul shooter of the
evening Johnson, who played forward
for Spaulding in the first period, has
wonderful eye for the basket, but he was
rather light and his strength gave way,
as he was playing against guard who
was nearly twice his weight Sector at
center was a good team worker and
through the period he played he scored
twice from the floor, both being classy
shots
Montpelier started the scoring within
minute after the whistle blew for the
first toss-up, but Spaulding came back
strong and Densmore scored two from
tho floor in quick succession. From this
time TO the end of the first period,
Spaulding's team was not overtaken. In
the second period both teams failed to
score until after about 10 minutes OF
play. when Montpelier Gagged one and
they soon followed with another. The
visitors climbed gradually on the Spauld-
ing team until they tied the local five in
the last few minutes of play. An extra
five minute period was decided upon.
Whitcomb shot one from the floor and
Densmore shot one from the foul line in
the last minute of play. the game ending
