GRADES IN SCHOOL
ARE BEING MOVED

Because of moving the high school
students in to the new building, quite
few of the other grades are being
shifted in their quarters this week.
The seventh and eight grade will
use the present high school assembly
room, and the former high school
recitation rooms This will provide
much better quarters for them than
they have had before. The fifth
grade is being moved from the Ger
man church to the south east room
upstairs. The sixth grade will here
after occupy the southwest room up
stairs. The kindergarten will occupy
the southwest room downstairs in
the old building, and the second
grade is being brought from the
Public Library to the southwest room
downstairs. This is the first time in
almost a year that all of the grades
are brought together, and conditions
for work will be far better. The
school has been considerably handi-
capped by having the grades scatter
ed over the town, and by being
cramped in quarters, and the ad
Niitional room will be very much ap-
preciated by all of the teachers and
pupils.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
TO BE DEDICATED

At meeting of the school board
Monday evening. it was decided to
arrange for a dedication service for
the new high school building. For
the time being, no definite plans
were decided upon as there are still
a great many things TO do before
the high school will be completed
settled in the new a. arters. The
thought is to set aside a special time
for the entertaining of visitors, and
for the having of exercises in con-
nection with the dedication. While
visitors will of course always be
welcome, yet the thought is to not
have the dedication exercises until
everything is in place in the build
ing. and until the high school has
had time to re-adjust itself to the
new conditions for work.

proposed the idea being 10 divide
the country into eight zones, Al
follows:
Local, first, second and third
zones, under 300 miles, ] cent pei
pound.
Fourth zone, 300 10 600 miles,
two cents per pound.
Fifth zone, 600 TO 1000 miles,
three cents per pound.
Sixth zone, 1000 10 400 miles,
four cents per pound.
Seventh zone, 400 TO 1900
miles, five cents per pound,
Eighth zone, over 800 miles,
six cents per pound
Free-in-conntry circulation pro-
yided by the present law would
continue as at present. Daily
newspapers will not be affected,
because they do not circulate be-
yond a 300 mile radius.
Among other provisions, the bill
increases rates for mail order
catalogues from two 10 eight cents
a pound, making them third class
matter instead Of parcel post

elnded IN the appropriation bill.

senate aud house have received
literally millions Of names Oh

The committee has held
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1917-02-01

a number Of sessions and made a
very careful survey Of the situa-
ton, and believes that a lower
postage bin can be passed By con-
press. Chairmen Of the various
committees and members Of the
committee themselves have in
many instances expressed their
hearty approval Of the proposed
changes, and il is not expected
that much difficulty will be found
IN securing the lower rate.
IT has been expressly stipulated
that newspapers having a circuIa-
ton within 300 mile radius are
not TO be affected by the proposed
change, as il is felt that their
educational influence Is too valu-
able TO have them affected in any
way, particularly as they sell for
a very small price, much less IN
proportion than many OF the
national magazines, which are
carried several thousand miles 10
their destination.
Last year first class mail made
a profit for the government Of
over SIS, 100000 per year, while
second class or periodical mail
lost a sum equally as large, thus
offsetting the biggest item Of prof
it which the post Office department
shows. II is confidently expected

through the lower rate in cities

Transportation problems IN the

No railway exists between the

have been forced TO restrict parcel
post delivery to 200 pounds daily

Tests of Performance
Safest Criterion to Buyer

within the last few years, there
has been n general realization on the
part of motor car makers, that the
people who buy cars are decidedly
motor-wise. and car that hasn't a
pedigree as a thoroughbred is not
salable any longer" says r. p.
Bishop, sales manager for the King
Motor Car Company, Detroit.
There's no denying that there have
been a lot of good looking cars put
Overland it was just that handsome
superficiality that fooled many a
buyer and afterwards made him
adopt a show me- attitude when he
bought again.
Realizing that the best evidence
of Kings quality, ability and stamina

Imaginable. tine King Company i'm

through her PAGES and made the ac-

the best selling arguments to con-
vince the critical and investigating
buyer.
Among the most noteworthy of
a dozen remarkable achievements
was the 10,S50 mile nonstop motor
test held under. the supervision of
the A. A. A. That feat alone would
have put King cars on the map, and
every days performance since in the
hands of thousands of owners has

in the service takes charge and the
other must obey his orders. This
rule applies everywhere.
In civilian life there is time for
argument. You may have better
certain thing should be done and
possibly may convince him and get
his original orders changed. In
Army life nothing of this kind can
be permitted. The Officer in charge
always has the full responsibility.
Whatever orders he gives must be
instantly obeyed. 1t is far better to
take action, even though the thing
may not be done in the best possible
way, than it is to stand still and
debate. Lack of immediate action
in the crisis of a battle might mean
that the Army would be defeated,
thousands of lives lost, and possibly
the honor of the country stained.
Think over this difference between
Army organization and civilion or
ganization. The longer you think
about it, the more clearly you will
see why your own interests demand
that you should fit into your place
in the Army and follow instructions
much more strictly than is neces-
sary in civil life.
The Army is governed by mill
tary law. This means that soldiers
are not brought to trial in civil
courts, except for certain serious
crimes, but are subject to military
courts of inquiry, summary courts
and courts-martial. However, this
will never be a question of much
importance to the great majority of
men in the National Army.
Success I'm Winning Victories
Success in winning victories is
the object for which the Army ex-
lists. In comparison nothing else
counts. Every officer and every
soldier must be ready to make any
sacrifice, big or little, to accomplish
this object. An officer may spent
years in working out solutions to
military problems. only to find in
the end that all the credit for what
he has done is swallowed up in the
general reputation of the Army. If
this proves to be the case, he has
no cause for complaint. 1t is the
rule of the Army that everything
must be done "for the good of the
service"
In the same way you may be
called upon to carry through some
dangerous mission or to perform un-
pleasant duties. Every such call is
an opportunity to show your loyalty
/ to the service and to the Nation
Remember in all these cases that
| hundreds of thousands of other men
in the Army, from top to bottom
! like yourself are working first and
all the time for the success of the
team.
1t is usually the Army with the
strongest team spirit that fights its
way through to victory. Try to cul.
tivate that spirit in yourself and
among your comrades.

are working together-there is al
most always some one in direct
charge of each group of workers.
Ihls person may be called a fore
man in the shop, a chief clerk in
an oiIlce, a floor walker in a depart
ment store or by any one of the
NUMBER or other titles; in the Army
we call him a corporal or q SER

that In every large concern there
are numerous officers who take

business such as the superintendent.

on; In the Army we call the men
in corresponding positions captains
majors, colonies, and generals. Fin
ally, you have at the top of the
business concern a president or a
general manager who directs every-
thlng; in the Army he is a com
manding general.
This general likeness between
business organization and Army or
ganization is helpful. but must not
be carried too far. There is one
vital difference: The average bust
ness concern is somewhat easy
going; the responsibility for each
piece of work is not always def
nitely fixed. In the Army every
body, on the other hand. is held to
the strictest account. There is very
seldom any doubt as to the man to
be held responsible for each task,
Responsibility Always Fixed

LESSON NO. IL
TEAMWORK IN THE ARMY

preceding lessons: l. Your Post
of Honor. 2. Making Good as a
Soldier. 3. Nine Qualities of Sol
dier. 4. Getting Ready for Camp.
5. First Days in Camp, 6. Clean
illness in Camp. Z. Your Health.
S. Marching and Care of Feet. 3.
Your Equipment and Arms. 10.
Recreation in Camp. II. Playing
the Cameo
So far in this course we have been
taking up some of the problems
which each soldier has to face and
solve for himself; how to adjust
himself as quickly as possible to the
routine of camp life; how to keep
himself and all his belongings clean
in spite of the difficulties in the
way; how to look after his own
health and comfort; how to take
care of arms and equipment; and
how to get real enjoyment, as we'll
as benefit, out of Army life.
If the course were to stop just at
this point, it might leave in your
mind a false impression. For after
all, the soldier is not an individual
player in the great game of war; he
is valuable chiefly as a member of
a team. 1t is a team of enormous
size. It is organized in rather O
complicated way. This team we call
the Army.
Your Army life will be more in
teresting if you know in a general
way how the team is organized. This
will enable you to see more clearly
where you fit in and what is ex-
pected of you.
If you have been working for a
business concern, you are already
familiar with many of the elements
of Army organization. You have
been in touch with the same things
under different names.

BIG DEMAND FOR
STUJDEBAKERS
Announcement of Increase in
Prices Causes Intending
Purchasers to Buy


"The American puplic is gradually
awakening to the fact that prac-
tically all materials entering into
the construction of a motor car have
been rapidly increasing in price,"
says P. Driscoll, Studebaker dis
tributor for Harrisburg and vicinity.
This fact has been brought very
for4bly to the attention of the motor
car buying public by the automo-
bile manufacturers, who, in their
ads for many weeks past,
have announced an increase in their
prices. Some of these makers have
even been forced to make q second
increase since July 1st."
"A year ago Studebaker made
huge purchases and placed long
term contracts for raw materials,
making it possible to continue the
present low prices while other man
nfacturers of cars in the Studebaker
class advanced their prices. But
AZ the same time we continually
warned the public that the increas-
ng cost of labor and materials might
orce Studebaker to raise their
prices at any time without notice. |
n all sincerity, and without any
fort to stampede people into buy |
