THE MoDALE CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL OPENS.

| On Monday, Sept. 3, the Modalt
schools will open for the years
work. Although this is Labor
day, the beginning is to be made
by the purchase of books, promo
tions and class organizations.
The building has been put in
the very best of order by the di-
Erection of the board of education
The heating system has been re-
modelled and made more efficient
by w. L. Stewart. Two comfort
able class rooms have been made
and furnished. The laboratory
will be we'll equipped, likewise
the Agriculture and Manual
Training rooms. Some additional
equipment has been installed in
the Home Economics department
also.
The teaching force for the en-
suing year is as follows:
First grade, Bessie Rayl.
IL Second grade, Ruth Hooks.
Third and Fourth grades, Ella
Coleman.
Fifth and Sixth grades, Myra

blossom.
English, Lea Davis.
Principal, Flora Howe.
Superintendent, Chas. S. Cobb.
Great care has been taken to
select teachers who are we'll
qualified and to equip the build
ing we'll that the school may be
placed upon the accredited list at
once. The state inspector will
visit the school early in Septem-
Der and he will find everything
in good order.
We solicit the attendance of all
children within our district and
as many outside as may conven-
iently come. The doors swing
open extending the arms of free
education to all. No one within
school age can afford to be out
OF school when the times are de-
manding SO much of everyone.
Efficiency is the cry of the age.
All who wish to enter the be-
ginning primary grade are urged
to be present at the organization
on Monday, as there is but one
class organized during the year
Some of the books will be on sale
at the drug store, (the county
book, others in the school Ii
brary. Pupils are urged to bring
salabie books on Monday that all
suitable exchanges may be made
among the pupils themselves
Some changes in texts are to be
Expected.
A new course of study has been
printed and it is the desire tc
place one in each home. If more
are needed they may be had for
the asking.
| We hope to add materially to
the library this year, and if any
one desires to donate any book
they will be doing creditable
service for the public school.
Donated books for soldiers in
camp are being called for and the
School will gladly gather and
send any books given.
The signs in spite of war times
seem to be right for a banner
school year and united effort will
make it SO. Boost for education
and efficiency.

The Quaker and the Stacker.

The Society of Friends is founded on the basic
principle Of nonrcsstance, and from the very first
its members have been opposed to war. No
amount Of persecution, punishment or derison
has ever moved them to abandon any part of this
principle. Even during the present war they have
suffered considerably for conscience sake and have
borne something of obloquy and much of incon-
venience without complaint because Of their stand
However, the Quakers OF America do not propose
to have their meeting house turned into sane
tuary for slackers. The yearly meetings" find
an unusual number Of young men, mostly of draft
age, applying for admission Many OF these are
Of Quaker descent, who hitherto have bothered
themselves but little with the affairs of the sect
and who have utterly neglected the communion.
To these the meetings have returned word that
for the present the doors of the church closed
to those who might seek through them escape
from an obligation to the country. This action
on part of the Quakers is as wise as it is pa
triotic, and is wholly in accord with decent re-
gard for the church, which will not interfere with
the affairs Of the state, but also declines to allow
itself to be abused by duty dodgers.

In a Land of Free Speech.

Among the remarkable spectacles presented
the world during this time Of astonishing events
none deserve more of attention than that pre-
sented by Hon. Champ Clark, speaker Of the
house Of representatives. History has no parallel
for the immediate circumstance in which the ut
terance OF one OF the chief officers of the govern
ment is being used to defeat the great purpose of
the government. When Champ Clark made his
speech against the seective draft bill, il is charity
to think he had no intention of putting weapon
into the hands OF his country's enemies, but now
we find this speech being circulated from Wash
ington, under frank OF congressman and carried
free through the mails, to spread the seeds of dis
loyalty. Speaker Clark found it in accord with
his own judgment to oppose the plan that has
been adopted, and voiced his personal opposition
accordingly. His words and his example are now
turned to the service of the foes Of the nation.
Nothing he can do will ever recall its effect, and
while it will not alter the operation Of the law,
this fact does not lessen the humiliation loyal
Americans must feel at the sad sight of man so
honorcd by his countrymen setting himself where
he can do the utmost Of harm. Never in our his
tory has more impressive illustration Of the
abuse Of free speech been provided Mr. Bryan
unwittngly did his country great service when
he defeated Champ Clark at Baltimore.

Drafting the Coal Industry

In its plea for government regulation Of the
coal industry, including price-hxng. the Federal
Trade commission testihes to conditions of con-
fusion which have operated severely against con-
sumers and in favor OF INSCRIPTIONS producers
and dealers. Although shipments OF bituminous
coal last year increased from 443000000 to
509000000 TONS nearly Is per cent they fell short
of the demand and stocks in storage were de-
pleted. The inequitable distribution OF cars, de-
lays in delivery, added to the greed of mine
owners who are demanding prices from so per
cent to several hundred per cent over the cost
OF their output, resulted in great profits to cer-
tain operators and hardship to consumers, indus
trial and domestic. The commission also COM
plains of the "intolerable abuses that marked the
activities OF certain elements of the anthracite
trade during recent months" to which it had pre-
viously directed a pointed warning
This situation cannot be permitted to continue
II the nation is to prosecute the war with vgor
and efficiency. Coal-mining is basic industry
which must be conducted in such way as to
contribute to the use Of the nations full strength.
There must be complete cooperation between the
coal operators and the railroads, and il II cannot
be secured by voluntary action on both sides. the
government, in furtherance of the policy Of ma
tional defense. must intervene and assume> con-
troll
To maintain coal prices at reasonable level and
to put stop to extortionate practices of pro-
ducers and distributors should be just as much a
part OF the governments function as war power
as to insure industrial and military activity in
other directions.

Patriotism and the Young Men.

Millions OF young men, the brightest and best
OF our country's youth, will be DEVOTED this week
to the service OF their country, with a consecra-
ton as holy as ever accolade touched on knightly
shoulder or benediction fell on dedicated priest.
Thoughtless or designing persons, selfish to
the extreme and with no understanding, have
sought to make it appear that this requisition by
the government OF the nations sons is illegal, i'm
moral and unworthy. How little they appreciate
what has taken place in millions Of homes!
These short-sighted individuals do small JUS
tice to the fathers and mothers of America, when
shouting that we are dragged into "capitalistic"
war, that our sons are offered to Mammon and
Moloch. What do they know Of the anxious mo-
ments OF consultation around family altars of fer
vent prayers that have gone up from hearts torn
with anguish Of sacrifice, but firm in resolve to
make the offering!
The mothers and fathers OF America know
what this war means, and so do their sons. Pa
triotism has never had sterner test, nor has it
ever risen to higher tide than swels in America
today.
Our young men will register for the service
required Of them, knowing that they will be asked
by their country to go where they are most
needed. And they will go, for they are the sons
of nation whose liberties were bought by just
such service, and which only can be maintained
by such patriotic devotion.

Shafts Ahmed at Omaha

Beatrice Express: Someone seems to have
lifted the lid off rather unsantary spot in Oma-
has police force. Revolutions have occurred in
the law enforcement departments of numerous
other cities, and it seems to be somewhat con-
tagious. From reports Of conditions in the depart
ment real housekeeping would be quite bene-
fetal
Fairbury News: If the authorities can keep
Omaha dry-and they seem to be making good
start at enforcing the law-there should be little
trouble about the rest of the state. This is not
a reflection on Omaha as lawless city, but it
is always harder to enforce prohibition III city
than in the ordinary hamlet
Crawford Courier: Auto bandits at Omaha
have changed from the theft of autos to the theft
of auto accessories over fifty of the finest cars
owned in the city being dismantled OF everything
that could be stolen, within month past from
the smallest of the accessories up to the tires, ETC.
Guess we do not want to own an automobile IN
that city.
Bloomington Advocate: The Advocate man
has been appointed delegate to attend con-
servation congress at Omaha to work on plan
to get the farmers to raise more crops and Tor
everybody to save more stuff from waste. 1t
seems as if four days time and $50 for expenses
was waste when the farmers are all humping
themselves to raise all they can. Better donate
the money that will be expended in this way to
care for those who will need it later on.
Shelton Clipper: Fourteen truckloads M liquor
valued at $1,000 were seized at Omaha last week
by Sheriff Clark in the wholesale conhscation OF
intoxicants at the Anton Larson dairy farm. It
would seem that 1000 cases of beer and 500 gal
Ions OF whisky and wine were more than rea-
sonable amount for one man, but If the beverage
was to have been used to put kick in the
milk sold to customers, it was only limited
supply

Every Man on His job.


Omaha, June ITO the Editor of
The Bee; Every mans duty is pre-
else. His job is his duty. Each can
do his part most effectively by re-
doubling present endeavors at what
ever his regular occupation may be.
This is particularly true in the pro-
duction Of building materials.
There should be no curtailment in
building and road construction. Both
public and private useful construction
should proceed. Production and mar
keting of building materials and pub
lie and private construction work are
fundamental industries of the coun-
try. Any tendency to suspend or
postpone building projects is incon-
sistent with maintaining our pros
perity. The country is prosperous.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime, sand,
gravel, stone and other building ma
terials industries are basic. Neither
government regulations nor railroad
restrictions should be imposed un-
necessarily to interfere with them. If
any action is taken which results in
the prostration of so fundamentally
important industries. there is real
danger of surplus of unemployed
labor, surplus of empty railroad

will seriously embarrass the govern
ment in financing the war.
If we are railroading, we should
railroad for all we are worth. If we
are farmers, put the same speed in
our farming. If we are mining, mine
as never before. The same with max
ing shoes and clothes. building houses
and building factories, erecting ware
houses and skyscrapers, constructing
roads and streets.
Keep on building. r. e. S.

heSlgIuUOn.
Can we give to our country a greater
gift
Than that of an only child?
While others are gladly doing their
bit,
We, too, would do something worth
while.
Mothers, in calm submission, bravely
we stand,
Giving our sons to protect our land.
God gave these boys to us to rear,
To teach them His name to love and
revere.
To honor Old Glory and always be
true
To its Stars and its stripes-the Red.
White and Blue.
To follow the emblem Of liberty's
birth
Until right shall rule DER all the earth.
Our country's flag stands for the same
today
As it did when our ancestors marched
to the fray.
For the love Of our fathers who fought
and bled
To save this same flag as the enemy
fed.
We D. A. RS will fervently pray
That God will protect it forever al
way;
That God in His goodness will speed
the day
When strife and warfare shall have
passed away,
When every man in every land
Will take his brother by the hand:
Then with grateful hearts Old Glory
We'll wave
Ger the land Of the true and the home
of the brave.
