COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

No greater problem can engage the
attention of the State than the educa-
ton and training of the children for
efficient citizenship. AS CIVILIZATION ad-
vances the problem becomes more
complex and the needs for meeting the
increasing demands multiply. 1t has
never been different. Always our
needs, our desires, our plans and pur-
poses outrun our ability to meet them,
Always we fall short. Achievement
never exceeds or equals ambition. AS
progress is made the horizon recedes,
and the line of vision is enlarged.
Howard A. Gass.
The Desloge High School gave a
play on last Tuesday evening bearing
the rather unusual title, "Boys will
be Girls" The verdict of the large
audience was "Dee-lighted."
The following list of students took
the Teacher Training Examination at
Flat River last week: Leah Alper,
Kate Dempsey, Virgie Mabuce, Irene
M. Bloom, Charles Mccoy, Joseph O.
Covington, Genevieve S. Barker, and
Ferol Saunders, Seniors; and Naomi
Hill, Esther Houser, Virginia Topping,
and Blanche Mosier, Juniors. The
time is rapidly approaching when the
demand for professionally trained
teachers can no longer be denied. The
Teacher Training law is a compara-
lively new one in Missouri but the
Teacher Training graduate is already
making his presence felt in the educa.
tional world. Another long stridS
forward has been made.
Miss Hattie Fern Devine has re.
Gently been engaged to do fifth grade
work in the Desloge schools, and Mrs
Fannie E. Woodside to do fourth and
fifth grade work in the Bonnie Terrt
schools. This makes the second extra
teacher that has been added to thC
Bonnie Terre staff this year.

BOMBS
LATEST GERMAN STUNT

LONDON, Aug. 25.-(By Mail.)--
Carborundum bombs" are the lat
est development of German plotters'
ingenuity for crippling the war effort
of America. They were discovered in
a recent German bomb haul in Chris
tiana, Norway.
Carborundum is manufactured
composition resembling a sharpening
stone, but is harder than almost any
steel made today.
American army officers believe It
was the German plan to have these
carborundum bombs, disguised In
chewing tobacco and cigars, slipped
into the axle cups of troop and spu-
ply trains and into oil cups and other
vital parts Of transatlantic steam
ship engines.
Half an hour Of this composition
grinding against car and engine bear
ings and in steam cylinders, would
cripple railway cars and steamahips

MYSTERIOUS HUSH BOATS"

LONDON, Aug. 25.-(By Mail.)--
Not until Germany has been fioored

shaped lighters that are beating the
submarine today. In England they
are referred to vaguely as mystery
ships and hush boats" Imagin.
ative people give them fantastic
shapes and endow them with powers
beyond the dreams of the greatest
naval designers. So, perhaps the land
faring folk will be disappointed When
IT'S all over and the hush boats come
out of the haze to be looked at by
seaport visitors.
Privileged visitors to the great ma
val bases are extremely reticent
about the hGsh boats. For weeks the
newspapers have been limiting about
something they knew but have cross
ed their hearts not to tell--sometbine
about the new and mysterious sea
rowdies which despise naval footwork

The mystery ship ranks with the
tank as q feat of invention and con-
struction according to the jealous
guardians of the secret.
King George inspected two new
types of vessels during his June Wis
it to the Grand fleet. They were
in class Of their own and the class
was never mentioned to the public.
Sea montsers, mystery ships, hush
boats-they account for some of the
high honors recently conferred on

AMERICAN FORESTS ARE
BEING SHIPPED TO FRANCE
(By George Martin J

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
| WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 49,
Even Americas forests are being
shipped to Europe to help win the
war.
Great fir tracts along the Colum-
bia river in Oregon, the Red Cross
announced today, are being hewn,
loaded on ships there, shot thru the
Panama canal to New York and hurl-
ed across to France.
Thus it falls out that permanent
quarters for Red Cross base hospitals
on the western front are being fash
ioned from the ranks of Oregon's
army of trees.
The need for sending American
forests across the seas to France is
shown in the Red Cross statement
that so scarce is timber in France
that tents are now being used to
house many of the American contin-
gents"
"This shipment of lumber" said
shipments osss, like many other
going abroad, is being made thru
the cooperation of the United States
shipping board with the Red Cross
War council. Chairman Edward N.
Hurley of the Shipping board, was
a member of the war council until
appointed to his present post.
IL ko ,tt Of Naxxy
York have also aided in the estab-
lishment of the new Red Cross Trans
portation service. The railroads,
thru the Railroads War Board, have
issued orders that Red Cross ship
ments must not be held up by embar-
goes or any delays of ordinary freight
in these days of railway congestion.
"New York City has turned over
to the Red Cross large warehouse
on the North River without charges,
and Commissioner of Docks and Fer
ries Smith. is acting as Associate di-
rector of the Red Cross Supply ser
vice. Which has charge of the as
sembling of all goods for shipment
| abroad.
"To help in this great service Of
mercy at sea, the allied governments
have also taken the unusual step Of
allowing their transports to be used
by the Red Cross. These will only
be used for supplies most urgently
needed abroad. The British admiral
ty, the French and Italian govern.
ments are all cooperating to this
end.".
Pressure on shipping space has be
come intense, declared Davidson in {
letter to relief agencies cooperating
with the Red Cross, "and it Is abso
lutely necessary that for the presen
nothing be shipped which is not i'm
peratively needed. Ocean shipping
