AGAIN. GIVE US BETTER SCHOOLS

tor, there was a stampede. They are
gone, and when the schools open
again, cut little ones must face stran-
gers who are willing to come here in
the midst of all these great dangers
and try to make for themselves good
names as teachers.
When that man was in the dark
secretly laying plans to get his hands
Oh the Cordele schools, he ought to
great smiling sunlight, shoulder to
.shoulder with his fellow man, strug-
Cling for better schools in the coun-
try where he was likewise drawing a
salary for what should have been hon
est service. Then all could have taken
his efforts in good faith. There were
struggling, hard working teachers in
the little country school houses at
that very time that needed his coun-
sci as faithful educator. They were
hungry for the suggestion of improve
ment that never was made because
of the long hours that were being
given to overturning the city system
in Cordele and putting it into new
political control. Shame on that kind
Of interest i'll our schools!
Ask the people of Crisp county if
they would not like to- have the same
! advantages offered by the city system
in Cordele. Ask them if they would
appreciate a uniform graded, we'll
balanced years work laid out ahead
Of every child. Ask them if they would
support the schools nine month il
/ they could but have the schools. Ask
them if they have any doubts about
uniform property tax, levied On all
property alike, about the unfairness
Of it. When such tax is levied
equality is what the law requires.
Ask them about representation on a
county board Of education to which
they might themselves elect their own
best citizens ASK them if two, three
or four good citizens elected from
each district would do for q represen-
lative board. Ask them il their school
tax is being as well spent as that
which goes to maintain the Cordele
schools.

women who shoulder the destinies OF
good citizenship They know how to
work and when they are educated
they swing rapidly to the forefront in
every walk of life. Put the good
schools within their reach and you
have lifted them into full awaken
ing. No man ought to stand between
them and advanced elementary train
ing. What an awful blunder for our
school boss to do it!
The Dispatch has not asked to be
permitted to run the schools. 1t has
no political friend it wishes to re-
ward. 1t thinks only of school adj

perintendent's attitude when he says
we have good schools. 1t knows Mr..

1t likewise knows. that these two Of

we have every advantage that we
could have They would rejoice to
know the whole county of Crisp had
Joined in one tremendous effort for
perfected school system. They
would do any reasonable thing they
could this very moment to extend to
the country boy and the country girl
the same splendid schooling that the
boy and girl in Cordele have enjoyed
during the past years. We would be
after it ii we had our hearts right.

be made to represent everybody. Here
he is trying to tell them that one Of

such system is really Representative

Y. M. C. A. PROVIDES
SOLDIERS CLUB HOUSES

The Minneapolis Young Mems
Christian association has provided a
club house for the soldiers stationed at
Fort Smelling. The association proposes
to erect similar club houses at various
camps wherever soldiers are quartered
all over the world. These clubs are
provided with writing material which is
for the use of the men in khaki uniforms,
making it not only possible, but easy
for them to write letters home. Thus
the benefits of the Y. M. G. A. will
come home to thousands of people far
away from cities or towns where branches
of the association exists.
Aside from the opportunity offered
the men in uniform for writing letters
home, this is only small feature of the
work. The club houses are equipped
with motion picture machines, pianos,
monographs, athletic equipment,
magazines, books and games.
The manifold temptations OF army
life are rendered considerably less i'm
portant by the cheerful, hospitable
club houses, with no membership dues
no fees and no charges for shows.
It is the intention of the association
to provide club house for each brigade

PATRIOTIC WINDOW NOW g.g-z; q
ADORNS BEE HIVE STORE

One of the first really patriotic store
windows to be shown in New Ulm is
that of J. A. Ochs' Bee Hive. The
window is work of art, and it is pre-
sumed that all of the other stores will
soon be in line, with something possibly
to Guido the work done by E. w. Baer,
window trimmer at the Bee Hive, but
it will be somewhat difficult to do so. -
In the center of the show window,
draped in the national colors, is large
engraving of President Lincoln partially
covered with an American flag. One
of the features of the window is the
autograph of Samuel Frederick Smith,
author Of America" together with the
first verse of the song, written in the
authors own hand, which was sent to
Fred w. johnson of the Dakota Hotel,
in 1894. The song was written by Mr..
Smith in 1882.

AGAINST INSURANCE co.

The state supreme court has affirmed
the decision of the district court of
Brown county, in the case of Mrs. Berg,
widow of the late Ferdinand Berg,
against Pullman Bros, and the London
Guarantee and Accident Co. The suit

his life, in accordance with the employers
liability act, but the insurance company
resisted payment on the ground that the
work in which he was engaged was not
the cause of his death.
AS a result of the decision, Mrs. Berg
will be paid $3.50 week for 800 weeks, an
and an additional $500. for burial ex-
penses, a total of $2,050.

MIGHT PREVENT. A COAL ~ f :@s
SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER

The Minnesota Railroad & Warehouse
commission is urging the residents Of the
state to put in their winters supply of
coal now When the railways become
tied up with war traffic, in addition to
the regular handling of the crops, many
people will be unable to fill their coal
bins, while now it is an easy matter,
is the argument advanced by the COM
mission. Coal is now arriving at the
Head of the Lakes, and orders received
now can be easily filled, according to
Commissioner Elmquist.
A number of. New Ulm citizens have
already taken the advice of the commits
sioners, and have their winters fuel
safely stored away in their cellars.
