New Traffic Guides.

The Holyoke officials have
had new traffic guides put up
at the intersection of three Of
the streets with Inter Ocean av
enue in the business part of
town. These guides will prove
a great convenience especially
tocar drivers, if the drivers pay
heed to the notices on the
guides which our Holyoke Mar
shal will see that they do. Car
drivers should comply strictly
with the rules for crossing
streets or turning at street in.

Changed Their Mind.

There was time several
years ago when for a few years
the Burlington escaped payin &
tax on the railroad grade from
Holyoke to the Nebraska state
line and the writer, as county
attorney. was sent to Denver
by the county board TO straight
en- out the matter. IL was dis
covered that the grade had been
dropped from the tax list of the
State Board of Equalization ON
the ground that it should he as.
sessed by the county assessor
and not by the board of equaliz
alton. X. ID. Pollard. the gen
ial Burlington tax agent gave
us to understand that the Bur
lington would probably let the
grade and riRht oil way sell Tor
taxes and then IL the company
ever wanted to use il. it could
be purchased again. The Bur-
lington changed their
mind on this matter. paid up
all back taxes and have been
paying all taxes since and have
saved good money by doing 80
for. at the present advanced
land prices, IL would now cost
the company o good large sum
60 purchase the anne right OF
way.

A Jail Needed.

There has for several years
been need in Phillips county
for a county Jail. 1t is true
that the adjoining counties have
always been very accommodat.
ing in caring for our our county
prisoners when necessary but
It Has never been economy for
our county to pay board for pris
|oners in another county rather
than build a Jail. If such q
county policy is economy, then
the surrounding counties don't
seem to know much about G..
economy for every one of them
have had jails for years and
some of them with no more
need for it than our county. In
this respect, our county is not
up 10 date in it's equipments
for handling the business of the
county. Our county is paying
board for prisoners both at Ster
ling and Julesburg. A large
part of the extra expense to the
county caused by the absence
0of . Jail at home is the expense
Of having prisoners brought
back and forth between Hol-
yoke aud the Jail We could
have had a Jail il the county
board had gone ahead aud used
the funds that were paid by the
tax payers of the county for the
purpose Of providing a Jail.
The board seemed to think that
it was more important that we
have good roads than that we
have a county Jail 50 they trans
ferred the jail fund to the road
fund and used it for making
roads and now we have neither
= jail nor a Jail fund.
Why not provide Jail. The
kannty is prosperous and amply

More School Room.

Prof Robb, our present sue
cessful Principal of High School
in his write up of school news
last week. gave a timely warn
|l~s ~ the people Of the county
that. by the opening of school
next September. this county
will be up against the trouble
of having n larger high school
attendance than our present
building will modate.
Our county has outgrown the
building and we must have
more school room. Phillips
county has Just fairly commenc
ed to grow and the next five
years will see n greater growth
than the county has made in
the past ten years. The county
has reached n growth where
there is no room for a doubter.
Every indication points to a
rapid growth for the county aud
the school boards of the county
must prepare for that growth.
Don't shake your head and say
that it will not be needed or
that il cannot he done. for nei.
ther doubling assertion would
come with good grace from n
Phillips county booster and
more than that IL would not be
true. Get your heads together
gentlemen and prepare for the
growth Of our high school IN
the coming ten years.

had extended to Europe. The AmeTi-

printed, but it is still far behind its
orders, one of which is for a million

Authorities declare the enorm GUS
demand is due to the war, as efforts
are being made to supply every SOL

For many reasons there will be

all superintendents Of Sunday schools

Ministers are urged to preach on
the importance OF school attendance
as a ratTioti: duty this year, al Sun.
day school superintendent and lead
ers OF young peoples societies in the
various churches are asked to make
school attendance special topic, in
a letter addressed by the commission
er of education to churches and reli-
gious papers throughout the United
States. In urging the churches to
help in the campaign for greater
school attendance, DR.. Claxton says:
1T is of the greatest importance
that the schools of the United States
of all kinds and grades-public, pri-
Vate. and parochial-be maintained
during the war without any lowering
Of their standards or falling off in
their attendance.
This is necessary both for the pro-
lection of our boys and girls against
many unusual temptations to Gelin-
quencies Of various kinds, and that
they may have full opportunity for
preparation for the work of life and
for the duties and responsibilities of
