PINAL COUNTY BOYS
NOT SUFFERING SAYS
LETTER FROM KAN

Pinal county boys at Camp Funston
are getting along all right. and are
not in need of any more bedding at
present, according to a letter from
James w. Wedge, who was in charge
of the third contingent, and which
was received last week by Sheriff
Hall. Their main troubles are lack of
steam heat and uniforms, and the ter
rifle sand and dust-storms, which
cause even the desert lizards from
Arizona to grumble.
At the time Wedge wrote it had not
been definitely settled whether the
Arizona boys would be transferred to
California or not. Since that time,
however, at least 1000 of the Arizona
contingent has been transferred to
Camp Kearney. Mr.. Wedge says, in
part:
Mr.. Henry Hall, Florence, Ariz.:
Dear Mr.. Hall-Have not written
you anything in regards to the needs
of the boys from Pinal countp; every
thing is in such shape and Camp Fun
ston so unsettled in regards as to
where the men will be sent A GER
tain number of the men from the vari-
GUS states are to be used to fill up
other camps. Some talk of sending
us boys of Arizona to California. at
Linda Vista, of which you are, no
doubt, aware through newspaper re-
ports; however, so far as the boys are
concerned for the present, call is
WELL" Have plenty of bedding. About
the worst thing that we have to con-
tend with is no steam heat for two
months, fierce sand-storms, and no
uniforms to speak of for the third con-
tingent, except overalls, hats and
shoes.
| assure you all the boys greatly
appreciate the money contributed in
Pinal county for their benefit and
later on, as soon as camp life gets
settled and they get assigned to our
permanent places, will be able to let
you know just what is needed for the
present; | would suggest that you wait
for time as all is going along as well
as could be expected.
Yours truly,
JAMES W. WEDGE,
40th Company, 164 Depot Brg.,

co TO CHURCH WHAT WOULD THE
COUNTRY BE WITHOUT ITS CHURCHES?

Ii you are an unbeliever and don't
go to church, don't be scoffer at re-
ligion. While the go-to-church move
ment has been sweeping the country
like a prairie fire, there are found in
every community men who seek to
belittle it. To these men a special
appeal is made. What would the
country be without it's churches
What would it be without religion ?
Just ponder for a minute. There
would be an era of lawlessness and
crime that would be awful to contem-
plate.
Even unbelievers will admit that
the churches benefit community.
Of course, there may be some people
who go to church just for the appear
ance of things. But, happily, there
are thousands who are sincere in their
religious belief and their worship of
God. These people help to make this

upon munitions output, the comfort
and encouragement that is given Ger
many and the losses sustained by
timid investors who have sacrificed
perfectly good holdings under the
pressure of fright.
"What | am thinking about is how
some twenty thousand reputedIy sane
Workingmen have been led around by
the nose, called off high-wage Jobs,
herded in riot gangs and made mon-
keys of in a dozen different ways by
half-dozen strangers, non-residents
in the mining camps, interested only
in the pay they earn for making trou-
BILE. At Clifton it struck me that the
climax of humor was reached when
the strikers wanted to 90 back to
work last week, but could not find
anybody with the authority to call the
strike off,"

''RUMBLE OF
REVOLUTION
IN GERMANY

WASHINGTON, Nov 2.-"Confi-
dence in those who are directing the
affairs of the empire is beginning to
crumble among the German people"
So declares Prince Alexander zu
Hohenlohe in the Neue Zeitung of
Zurich, Switzerland. The writer is a
son of the late imperial chancellor,
Prince Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe, who
was succeeded by Prince Won Buelow
in 1900
Prince Alexander zu Hohenlohe de-
clares the word revolution is heard
daily among the masses of the people,
He says:
Kaiser's Power Weakening
"There is no doubt that the ma
jority of the German people are in
favor of monarchical form of gov
ernment The different states of Ger
many are still more or less loyal to
their state sovereigns, according to
the personality of those sovereigns.
But it can no longer be argued after
these three years of war that their
confidence in the supreme chief of the
empire is wholly intact.
Wonder Why World Opposes Them
eve should stop hiding our heads
in the sand out of fear of recognizing
the truth Evading the truth can do
no good Confidence in those who are
directing the affairs of the empire is
beginning to crumble among the Ger
man people. The people do not know
just what position the kaiser takes
with regard to the activities of those
who pretend to call themselves patri-
OTIS. The people are beginning, little
by little, to ask themselves how it is
that the whole world is in arms
against them and who is responsible
for this situation.
No Desire for Annexations
FThe German people, as a whole,
have no desire to annex foreign terri
tory. The only ones who are inter-
ested in territorial conquests are the
small group of Industrial capitalists
and the hot-headed Pan-Germanists,
who get no sympathy from the masses
of the people, but only from the uni
versity professors, the officeholders,
and the well-to-do middle classes"

glorious country what it is Stats
tics show that there is minimum of
crime in communities where there are
plenty of churches. The most hard
ened criminal has been reached by an
appeal to his better nature, by an ap-
peal to his belief in Supreme Being.
Basically, everybody is all right
To use an apt saying: There's a lot
of bad in the best of us, lot of good
in the worst of u.s.
Going to church surely brings out
the best in us. Propinquity is great
thing. A man who goes to church
regularly, even as a matter of form,
eventually is sure to imbibe the teach
ings of God. The environment will
make him righteous. 1t will make
him a better citizen.
What are you doing?
1t is not enough that you go to
church. Get others to go.

Jim Jaeger, noted and honored
Yuma Indian, died on the Yuma res
ervation the past week and was buried
with fitting and elaborate ceremonies
on Thursday. He was go years old at
the time of his death and for 25 years
has been employed around the Indian
school as special officer and police.
Unusual preparations were made for
the burial, or burning, rather, and
every Indian on the reservation at
tended, leaving their work in the cot
ton fields for the event.
Jaeger was the fastest long-distance
runner in the world in his day. He
was never beaten. On the west coast
in 1886 he han 100 miles in seven
hours. In st. Louis in 1887 he ran
every day for thirty days against ev-
cry runner who appeared, and also
ran in Chicago and New York He
was trained by Mr. Jaeger, who owned
the famous Jaeger ranch, which is
now the townsite of Winterhaven, and
from whom he took his name, and
who acted as his manager during his
period of racing.

Word was received from New York
this week that five cases Of knitted
garments, knitted by Arizona women
for the men of the battleship Arizona,
had been ordered sent back to the
Navy league by Secretary Daniels.
The dispatch stated that the quarter
master of the Arizona had been or
dered to reject the entire shipment.
Mrs. Dwight B. Heard of Phoenix,
who is president of the Navy league
for Arizona, declares that no garments
have been sent as yet to her knowl-
edge, and that when the garments are
sent, they will be sent direct to Cap
tain Mcdonald of the Arizona instead
of through the Navy league. This is
as result of the controversy which
arose some months ago between Sec
retary Daniels and the league, as a
result of which Daniels ordered that
no shipments or donations from the
league be accepted.

Lueco Gunter Writes
About Pickns Schools

Mr.. Editor: 1t was the pleasure anc
privilege of the state supervisor OF
rural schools to spend the past week
four days with the county superinten
dent of education in the schools of Pick
ems county. This was not the most
favorable time to visit the schools OF
Pickens county because very large
number of country schools are not We,
open for the fall session. This made
distances between schools that were
visited very far and made it impossible
Tor us to reach as many schools as the
state supervisor ordinarily does reach
IN the course of weeks visitation.
1t was greatly regretted that most of
the smaller schools of the county were
not open, particularly those in the
mountain sections.
Our visitors were confined mostly to
the rural graded schools Many of
these have not yet opened for the fall
work. NJ
After the arrival of the state SUPER
visor on Tuesday time was left for just
one visit that day, and this was made
at Six Mile academy. This is primarily
aschool for high school students under
denominational control and has done
good work for number of years Ar
rangements have been made for pub,
Tic school department to be conducted
IN the course, Six Mile is we'll equip
ped with buildings for high school work
and the visitors found goodly number
OF boys and girls profiting by the op-
portunities offered at this school.
Wednesday, Norris, Tabor and Cal
houn We're visited. All three of these
schools are housed in excellent buildings
with good equipment and. splendid
type of rural graded school work was
being done. Norris and Calhoun have
buildings that are comparatively new.
These are we'll designed aud well fin
'shed brick structures The attendance
at Norris is not what it will be later in
the year owing to so many of the boys
being out for the gathering of the crops.
But the large building at this place will
likely he fully used this year as the en-
rollment last year was sufficient to fill
the building. The question will be the
supply Of teachers TO do the teaching.
For some time the state supervisor
had been desirous Of visiting the school
The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1917-11-15

at Calhoun. The new building seems
to be entirely adequate to the needs of
the school and the community. The
better opportunities of gradation and
classification of pupils in this consoli-
dated school over the old plan of two
schools are readily dscerned.
Thursday morning was spent at the
Dacusville school. This is one of the
older rural graded schools of the county
and the state supervisor of rural schools
had long been looked forward to visit
here. The school Thursday morning
itself illustrated the advantages of the
consolidated rural graded school. The
children seemed happy in their school
life and while happy in their school life
they were at the same. time just as
earnest in their school work. The Wis
itors were especially impressed with the
large number of large boys and girls
attending this school, Such a condition
is not found in the small one- teacher
schools.
Friday morning Mauldin school was
visited. This is at presenta two teacher
school in building that has been in use
for some time. Funds have been pro-
vided to erect q new building for this
school and the needs of the school are
such that the people of the community
ought soon to decide where this new
building should be located and begin the
erection of the house. This is an i'm
perative need at Maulding school if the
children are to have the opportunities
that ought to be provided.
While the schools were not IN session
1T was a pleasure to visit and inspect
several of the new buildings in Pickens
county, Prater, Reunion and Roanoke.
These buildings were all erected in ac-
cordance with the state plans and fully
meet the needs of our country schools.
In the course Of his visit it was the
pleasure to the state supervisor to MAKE e
call at Wesleyan College at Central
and to see something of the splendid
work done by this institution and to
make brief visit at the Pickens high
school Friday morning.
The county superintendent and the
state supervisor had the pleasure also
of meeting with the patrons of the
Garvn and Kings districts on Thursday
to confer with them about the consoli.
dation of these two districts. At pres.
ent there are three one teacher schools
in the two districts. These people are
realizing the insufiiciency of this type
of school to give the education that
The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1917-11-15

modern times demand 1t is proposed
to erect a consolidated school in the
vicinity of Pleasant Hill church. This
certainly should be done. The state
aid available to erect the building and
for maintaining the school ought soon
to be taken advantage Of.
Friday afternoon a conference was
held with few patrons of the Croswell
district with reference to building a new
house and maintaining rural graded
school in Croswell district. Croswell
district in conjunction with Dayton dis
trict has the opportunity of organizing
for elementary and high school work
that few districts in South Carolina pos
sess. The wealth of the district makes
it possible to provide type Of educa-
ton in these two adjoining districts un-
surpassed by the high schools of Pickens
county, and yet at less expense than
these high schools must bear. The cor
poration wealth in these two districts
makes it possible and this wealth to-
gether with the state aid Should be
utilized in the interest of the children.
1t was pleasure to the state super
visor to observe that the new superin-
tendent of education in Pickens county
is giving himself so industriously to the
work of the schools There was every
evidence in the teachers meeting Satur-
day that the teachers of the county are
going to give him their whole hearted
support in making the public school sys-
tenn Of Pickens county as efficient as
possible. The state supervisor thor
oughly enjoyed the entire week and will
look forward with pleasure to the re-
turn to the county with the earliest pos
sible opportunity.
