a new party is being fostered up
on an unsuspecting public under
the misnomer Of a non-pal tisan
League. While the agitators of
this new organization proclaim
that its articles of faith are the
salvation of the common people.
it is not free. The agitators
must be paid. and each new re-
cruit is compelled to plank down
SIG in order to get his name on
the books of this questionable
organisation. Many have sub
scribed to this cure for all ills
without knowing who its leaders
are or what they are doing or
saying. To give you an insight
into the treasonable and blasphe-
nous utterances of the head of
the Non-Partisan League in Col
orada, we quote the following
language Of S. R. Maxwell in a
speech in Denver Monday night:
"When a ruler permits women
to be treated as the picketing
women in Washington have been
treated he should be pulled off
his throne and sent to Siberia.
That's what the Non-Partisan
League thinks of our president
Senator LaFollette is now being
tried by a committee of his col
leagues for reasonable utteran-
ces made before the Non-Parti-
san League which he had been
invited to address. 1t is only, too
plain what the motives of this
league are and no true American
patriot, knowing of these things
will lend a hand to the further
ance of such diabolical scheme.

Letter From Walter Snyder
EDITOR RECORD:

You asked
me to tell you about army life
and how we like it. l am not
much of writer but will do my
best. We have had a fine time
ever since we arrived here. We
got here on Saturday evening
about 6 o'clock. The train was
late, we had an awful heavy load
The first thing we did we. lined
up and stood for about an hour
then we marched through and
were identified then we marched
to our quarters, there they asked
us to step to one side and strip
We piled our clothes on our suit
cases and on the ground as we
pleased and were invited to step
in and Lave an ice shower bath,
which was very nice, as it was
my first Of the kind. We were
taken into another building and
there they gave us a blanket All
empty bed tick, a hat. shirt, un-
derwear and some overalls, that
was our uniform. and is yet. We
then went up stairs TO dress. we
hadn't more than got started to
dress when they told us to step
outside and fix our old clothes to
ship home. as we would have no
more use for them, they said we
were not allowed to take them.
SO l kissed myself ''good.b bye"
Now that job done we went
back into the house and they call
ed mess, now will tell you what
mess consists of. it is a small por
ton of pork and one slice Of
bread; then they told US we would
find pile of baled, hay just out
side where we could fill our ticks
l will leave it to you to guess
how we looked after dark, 157
men all trying to beat the other
through. Next the lights went
out and we have lived happy ever
since. Now if any of my friends
think they would like army life I
wosJld be glad to have them join.
Well, / am as ever, a friend to
all. WALTER r. SNYDER.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

At the last meeting of the dis
trict board they raised the salaries
of the teachers. five dollars a
month, because living expenses
had increased so immoderately
during the past two years.
Ray Hull returned to school
last week after having been out
nearly ten days visiting his BROTH
er.
Inez Pickering.s parents are
planning to sell out their place
and move to Indiana. Inez hopes
to continue in school. but is not
sure that she can do so. Her peo-
pie expect to leave in a little over
two weeks.
Clarence Marshall and Ethel
Boyd have both been detained at
home several days owing to the
illness of Mr.. Marshall.
Penmanship was started in the
high school last week under the
supervision of Miss Nickerson.
All were disappointed last Fri
day to get word from Sharon
Springs, that they wouldn't be
here on Saturday to play couple
games of basketball. They had
asked for games and every one
supposed they would be here as
they were offered games last Sat-
urday. They evidently had a
severe attack of ''cold feet
They have beaten our school fre-
quently but this year the boys
are playing a different game ow-
ing to the coaching of Mr.. Giedd
and the chances are Sharon knew
better than to try this year. The
boys woulden't have felt so bad
had Sharon notified them in time
so they could get another game
but they did not and it locked
like malice aforethought.
Goodland is expected here next
Saturday and a good game may
be expected. Goodland defeated
our boys las, year and our boys
are staonger to wipe out that de-
feat this year. This will make
the game interesting. But add
ed to this Goodland brought fine
lot of boys and the superintend-
ent and teachers were equally
friendly so there is pleasant RI
valry between the two schools.
Miss Nickerson left Sunday
night for Brandon from whenc
she will 90 to Pueblo as a oe egate
to the grand lodge Of the Rebec-
cas-. See was accompanied by
Mrs. ]. N. Hollenbaugh. -Four
