A Tribute of Esteem

A cloud OF sorrow has been cast over
the Kearneysvlle public school and the
entire community by the tragic but heroic
death OF Miss Ada M. Knode, who had
been principal OF the school for the past
three years. BY her efficient methods
and untiring energy she had brought our
school from one of rather low standing
TO rank as one of the best in the county.
She had won the respect and affection
of her patrons and was much loved by
pupils, entering into all their games and
sports. II was for their pleasure she had
gone on this walk which ended so dis
astrously for her. She gave her life,
rather than betray the trust committed
to her keeping. and her act should be an
example TO her pupils, to be faithful to
everv duty that falls to them in life.
"Geater love hath no man than this,
thata man lay down his life tor his friends. F"

IT IS believed that American inventors
have good prospect OF successfully
meeting the depredationS Of the German
submarines, which are more active than
ever before in the destruction OF vessels
in European waters. SO many ships are
being destroyed by these pirates that the
danger to England is becoming extremely
serious, food supplies and general neces-
sites being curtailed almost to the point OF
disaster. American inventive genius has
been working on the problem OF defense
from the submarine attacks, and tits now
believed that satisfactory plans are being
evolved. An important conference was
held Tuesday in Washington, with Sec
rotary OF the Navy Dlniels and the Naval
Consulting Board, when this subject was
discussed. No details were given out,
but Secretary Daniels said that the ex-
per!s believe that they are on the right
road and that they are going 10 turn out
something that is worth while"

that the inhumlu methods OF tae mer:i!sss

plan Tor restricting the activities ofthe dis
iileries and breweries which are worse
imam wasting such large quantities of pre-
cious grain in the manufacture OF booze;
and yet all of our European allies have
made it very plain that permitting the liq-
nor manufacturers and dealers TO continue
their unholy and destructive business the
first year or two OF the war was the great
est bunder that they made. Who will be
