Tha HaNti Harald find :

The Hayti Herald finds some
sentiment in favor of the school
district purchasing the city hall
property and using the same
after some improvements that
would adapt it for use, as a high
school building. To do this it
would be necessary for the dis
trict to issue bonds and a vote
would have to be taken. There is
also little objection to this pro,
perty as a high school. AS the
people'have to yay for a building
it seems that the school board
should submit the proposition at
the annual elextion as to whether
or not the building in question
would be wanted. If the people
do not want this building let
another proposition be sub.
mitted. The people pay the taxes
and their voice shouldbe needed.
The Herald would be glad to have
any communication relative to
the same, pro or con. Hayti
needs High School building
and needs it bad.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1917-02-22

For several days past an
unusually large band of gypsies
have been infesting the land
near this city, and it seemed az
if the whole chebang took a liking
to Hayti, and tried to overrun US.
And when they left us they liked
US so well they even took along
several articles taken from q
number of residences of this
city. Seems as il our police
authorities should make visits of
this class of people very unpleas-
ant and thus discourage them
from stopping with US.

Public officials get their pay
mainly from the people living or
paying taxes in this county and
aside from the actual saving
that can be made by buying
these supplies at home, it seems
to US that tits the duty of officials

Think it over, gentlemen!
Brother, it's the same way
here in this county, and they
almost laugh at US when we
approach the subject. Seem
quite surprised because we ask
for the work. Didn't know we.

etc. Tell the truth, they didn't
ask.
And when they are wanting
an Office they call on the little,
old, knownothing, home printer
to help them in, pat him on the
back and he slides into office.
After getting the office in the
of the cases the holder
laughs at his benefactor.
But the Herald is going to ask
the county court of this county
to get all the printing paid for
by the county done at home,
that is all that can be done. And
we're going to submit our bid
for it, too.

Delaware & Hudson rose 2 1-2 points, St. Paul common and preferred 3-4 and l respectively, and Union Pacific, New York Central and Rock Island point each. These were offset, however, by recessions of a point or more in Read ing, Canadian Pacific and Missouri Pacific. Industrials reacted moder- ately with shippings. The entire list fell back before the end of the first hour. Liberty bonds were irregu- lar.

AN EvENTFUn MONTH

The past month has been full or events of great importance in the war and in our relations to the war The first casualty list was received from American troops in the trenches, bringing home the reality Of war as nothing else can. Conditions in Rus sta have become more chaotic, with the Kerensky government overthrown and the country apparently facing civil war. The disaster to the Italian alzhies is 8 serious disappointment to fhose who were hoping for an early beace. It will not alter the general purposes of the western Allies, but 1t may strengthen the position of the military party in Germany and thus proIong the war. The overwhelming attack upon Italy was made possible by the cessation of operations on the Russian front. On the western front the events of the month were favor able to the British and French troops, and the general situation was inn proved by a formal declaration of war afainst Germany on the part of Bra zi. Notwithstanding the conllcence that the German people may have .

The longer the war is con- tinued and the more belligerents are drawn actively into it, the more ser ious these after-effects will be.

t. s. AvIATORS DIRECT FIRING OF
 FRENCH GUNS

With the American Army in France, Wednesday, Dec. 5.-CBy The Asso- ciated Press.)-American army avia- tors are now working with the artil- lery and the results so far have been most satisfactory to both branches of the service. Yesterday American air. men flew over a certain section of the American zone and took photographs. The artillery today started firing at five separate targets located from the photographs. The aviators took to the air and the observers watched the results of the firing, which was at a considerable range.
 The first shells fell wide of the mark, but within four minutes the ob- servers were able to correct this with wireless messages to the batteries, so that the shells began to hit location. Later the observers had practice in locating the other enemy with more or less success.

CITY COAL MUCH
 HIGHER THAN IT
 WAS LAST YEAR

To provide warmth for the in- mates of Hillside Home is costing the city of Bridgeport, this year, more than twice the sum that was expended for the same purpose twelve months ago.
 Soft coal is used at the Home, and one thousand tons are required to maintain a comfortable temperature. Last year this amount cost $3,250, while this year $6,750 was paid for a like quantity. Officials }of the chari- ties department fear that it may cost about $1O,000 to heat Hillside next winter.
 The charities department annually distributes about 150 tons of anthra- cite coal among the city's poor. No trouble was experienced in obtaining the necessary supply this year, though the cost was greater than formerly.

BECOME
 PROFICIENT IN KNITTING

Pretty keen rivalry exists in the different engine houses as to profi- ciency in knitting. The men have taken to this indoor sport with great interest and yesterday one of the members from No. 6 brought in the first garment made by any of the men. The sweater was knitted in less than a weeks time and is very well done, a credit to any knitter.
 At the present time the men on duty in the different engine houses about the city are busily employed. Knitting is going on in every house with the exception of 5's on Middle street which is being renovated. It makes a very interesting pastimt and at the same time helps out the work of the Red Cr0ss to a great extent.
