A spectator who was present
makes the following comment on
the decision of the judges:
In regard to the debate referred
to above, it is the opinion of all
present that a most unfair decision
was awarded. The affirmative
speakers were lodging the issue
and speaking for practical cduca-
ton, not giving one conclusive
argument for literal education.
The last speaker on the negative
side, Mr.. Rome, made this point
clear to the audience, but two of
the JUDGES failed to take notice of
it for some reason, Therefore it
stands to reason that the afirma-
tive could not win, since they gave
no argument for literal education.

In connection with the subject,
we notice from the same number

CORN FIT FOR SEED VERY SCARCE

The Press understands that not

think the following, from the Da-
kota Farmer of Dec. LIST is timely
and should be needed by our far

Henry Michels Of Wisconsin

every year handles considerable
seed. This fall conditions were
such that little corn is available

HOW is YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

The American Press of New
York City, for December LIST,
gives account of the indictment Of
the paper manufacturers who had
formed 8 trust known as News
Print Manufacturers Association,
followed by their trial, when the
fonr officials we're fined as follows:
George H. Mead, Chairman,
also president of the G.. H. Mead
Co, the Spanish River Pulp and
Paper Mills, and Lake Superior
Paper Co., $4,000;
Philip T. Dodge. president of
the International Paper Go, 50, 500;
Edward w. Backus, president
of the MINI. & Ont. Power Co
and Fort Francis Pulp & Paper
Co, 81, 800;
Geo. Cahoon, Jr., president of
the Laurentide Co, 50, 500;
Frank j. Sensenbrenner. 81, 600.
These fellows, it seems, were
not operating thru the entire coun-
try but only east of the Mississippi
river.
The Forest City Press has not
been greatly affected yet by the
increased cost of news print paper
and other stock, hut there is no
telling when our turn will come.
AS yet but one paper in Potter
county has raised its subscription
price. We presume that the
Others like The Press are relying
on the good will of their subscribe
ers. There are four ways in which
this good will can be shown, viz:
i. By promptly renewing their
subscriptions.
2. by taking advantage Of Club
Rates and other offers.
3. By getting a few of their
neighbors to subscribe for the pa
per.
4. By dropping a postal card to
the publisher with the news relat-
ing to your own immediate family.
At this holiday season, readers
should especially investigate their
individual subscriptions. The
Press makes a practice of drop
ping the names of all subscribers
whose time expires, instead of in.
curing the expense of sending them
notice thru the mails.

MEXICO DENTISTS IN
PREPAREDNESS WO

The dentists of the United States
have Joined the nationwide move
ment to assist in preparing a great
national army in case of war. They
have organized Preparedness
League Of American Dentists, each
member of which agrees to prepare
the mouth of at least one recruit to
meet the requirements of enlistment
subject to such rules as will protect
the dentist from imposition.
DR.. D. T. Moore, of this city, is a
member of this organization which
has its headquarters in Buffalo, N.
Y. DR.. H. S. Daniel, of Mexico, is
an associate member.
1t was found early in the progress
of the European war that good teeth
were as necessary to a soldier as good
feet. The rations of the soldier, and
especially the hardtack, require good
teeth, and then, no man can do his
best work when thus troubled.
This organization, while entirely
independent of the state and national
dental associations, is being favorably
received by dentists. Several of the
dentists of Mexico expressed them
selves as being willing to cooperate
in any way with this organization
to aid in the preparedness movement.

Former Mexico Boy Who Has Been in

of Which His Father is Head

John A. Guthrie, Jr., son of Judge
and Mrs. ]. A. Guthrie, of this city,
who has been connected with the
Bank of Thermopolis, Wyoming, was
appointed State Bank Examiner of
Wyoming by Governor Houcks Tues
day. While Mr.. Guthrie has been in
Wyoming only short time, his ability
as banker evidently was readily rec
ognized.
Mr.. Guthrie, who is a graduate of
William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo-,
was for a number of years connected
with the Southern Bank of Mexico, of
which his father is president. Re-
Gently he has been in the office of the
Secretary of State at Jefferson City,
where he was one of the most valued
men on the staff.
His appointment in Wyoming will
be recognized here as proper appre-

ideals and ability in that field.

schools soon. We already have 80
with a half dozen or more about
ready.
Miss Ella Criswell is teaching her
sixth term at East Lick. AS her con-
tinuous service indicates, she is vey
strong teacher, and gives complete
satisfaction. This is an approved
school, and has heater that kept the
room comfortable even in the farth-
est corner, with no difficulty, in spite
of wind and exterme cold. In my four
years experience with 30 or more
heaters in the county, not once have
l found the pupils freezing around
the heater; but almost without ex-
ception have l found them comforta-
BILE in all parts of the room. But
several times have ! found a school
huddled, shivering around the or
dinary stove, and the room very un-
comfortable in every part. Does
that not prove conclusively that if
you want comfortable room in which
your children can enjoy their work
to the fullest extent, it must be heat
ed by modern heating system?
East Lick has been greatly i'm
proved since Miss Criswell became its
teacher. All the out-buildings are
good, new ones, and the house has
been repaired and all buildings well
painted. This year new paper was
put on, the floor was oiled, the black
board was painted, and a brush, new
books, and sweepo were purchased.
Prairie Hill is also an approved
school. Miss Geneve Criswell is the
teacher. She, too, has a large "a"
class of strong pupils. The improve
ments are: A new roof, large die
tionary and other library books, new
stove. out-buildings cleaned and re-
paired, a new pump, floor oiled,
sweepo, and brush which the jani-
tor much prefers to a broom. And
then it is much more sanitary, as it
does not whip up the dust.
Yours for better rural schools,
W. CLYDE JOHNSON.
