Heppner, Oregon, March 2S, 1917.
Dear Teacher:
Mr.. Churchill Is preparing a Certif-
icate of Award to be presented to all
pupils who have been neither absent
nor tardy during the school year.
This certificate is to- be signed by the
teacher, the county school superin-
tendent and the Superintendent of
Public instruction.
We are hoping that every pupil in
the county will be entitled to one of
these certificates, II not this year, 1t
should be an incentive for them to
earn one next year.
Very truly yours,
LENA SMELL SHURTE,
County School Superintendent.

a steady growth in Morrow county

a move as that now being made by

building up the dairy industry.

The Food Administrator.

In naming Mr.. David r. Coker, of
Hartsville, to administer the provis-
ions of the food control law as it af-
fects South Carolina, Mr.. Hoover
picked a man whose qualifications fiji
him for the position. Mr.. Coker has
for quite number of years been in
terested in the agricultural develop
ment Of this State, anc many of his
experiments on his model farms neal
Hartsville have proved of value be
yOnd the confines of South Carolina
AS chairman of the State council OF
national defense, he has rendered
good service, and the fine prospec-
tive yield Of food crops in tie State
this year shows that his labors have
not been in vain. His interest in ag-
ricultural subjects has taken him int
all parts Of the State, and through ad
dresses and newspaper articles he i.
widely known by the people. Thi

Registration Of Women.

The State Council Of Defense has
extended the time for registration OF
women until September 3rd. All the
women Of Sumter who have not sign
ed the Hoover Food Conservation
cards or the Service cards are urged
to call at the Red Cross headquarters,
Y. M. G. A. building and sign the
cards. The women who sign these
cards are not binding themselves to
perform any service except that
which they may volunteer to do in
the future, as the government or
some of it's agencies, such as the Red
Cross, may need. The registration
is simply to ascertain how many wo-
men are willing and ready to help the
government and to contribute to the
comfort and safety of the soldiers in
the camps in America and at the
front in France. If you are willing
to do your part by knitting or any
other work that can be done at
home it is your duty as we'll as a
high privilege to enroll your name
with the Service League. The Hoover
Food Conservation card is merely a
pledge to exercise economy in the
use Of food of all kinds and to as
sist the food conservation board i'm
utilizing the food resources of the
country to the best advantage. Ev-
cry hOusekeeper should be glad to
take the pledge, for if food is econom-
ically used and needless waste pre-
vented the continued advance in
price Of food should be checked.

NO DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE.
Irish Leader Talks i'm Plain Terms
About War.

New York, Aug. 2S.-"The doctrine
Of divided allegiance and conditional
allegiance is as impracticable as il is
unpatriotic" T. p. O'Connor, the Irish
leader, declared in a speech here to-
night discussing the duty of Irishmen
in America to America and her allies
"You cannot hurt America without
hurting England, you cannot hurt
England without hurting America"
he asserted, "and everybody who at
tacks the allies of America hurts not
only the honor and security of
America, but does his best to pre-. ent
the liberation of Belgium, Poland
| and Alsace-Lorraine."
ITO argue that troops should not
be sent out of America is futile" he
said. ''since they have already been
sent, and to demand that no more
be sent is equivalent to a demand
that the gallant men already sent to
Europe should be deserted, betrayed
and left to the mercy of their Ger
man enemies"
Even if 1 thought it possible
know it would not be possible-to
purchase Irish liberty by selling the

tinued, II would refuse to accept a

After declaring that the true
American owes allegiance to one flag
and one government" he continued.

A Few Timely Words to Those Who

Editor Daily Item.
While we are all cussing and dis
cussing roads. may I digress for a
word from road building to road
usage?
Let's dim our lights. Let's don't
be SO inconsiderate Of the other fell
low as to shine q binding light In
his face. Beside being inconsiderato,
1t In dangerous; he cannot see where
ne 10 going; no probably will wobblc,
he may run into something on the
side Of the road. or he may run ihtc
us. or course II he runs his car
into the ditch or into a tree 1t will no,
matter so much to us; but If he
should run into US 1t is going to
make us as mad as the deuce. Sc
let's don't blind him.
Nearly all cities now have a law
prohibiting glaring headlights. and
oil about 1t is becoming habit
when approaching another car to din
your lights. The pressure of but
ton or the turn Of key docs 1t, and
at least Its an act of good fellowship
an evidence of kindliness and con
sideration.
When approaching a fellow trav
eler at night let's dim our lights.
To go back to the roads question
Supervisor B. builds just about tn,
same class Of roads as Supervisor A
built. Supervisor G.. who Is to b'
elected some day will also build tn
same class. 1t Ia not q question o
men but question of system. Road
should be built by road engineers, no
by supervisors. After they are bull
they should be cared for and main
tained and that should be done by tn
section system. Neglect plays NOR
havoc with Sumter county roads tha
does poor construction.
Let tho discussion go on; publ
