FELL GREAT AIR FIGHT.
British Flyer Shoots Down the Famous
German FOSSe,

British headquarters in France, Oc-
tober 1.-The body of the famous Ger
man airman, Lieutenant Vosse, who
was recently reported in German Of
fetal communication as missing, has
been found within the British lines,
and British airmen have already drop
ped messages behind the German front
giving notification of his death.
Vosse was killed September % while
engaged in a spectacular combat with
British airman. He died fighting
determinedly and magnificently. 1t is
a peculiar coincidence that the famous
French airman, Captain Guynemer,l lost
his life about the same time in battle
over the enemy territory and was re-
ported missing until the Germans
found and identified his body.
The opponent of Vosse is one of the
most brilliant British aviators, who for
the purpose of this narrative may be
referred to as BroWn-that not being
his real name.

with its civilian advisory commits
sion and several subsidiary organiza-
tions developed policies and details of
momentous Consequence to the nation.
The most important plans under
preparation by the administration in
cludc:
Enlistment by selective conscrip-
tion of young men for national ar

been trained to make certain the de-
feat of Germany.
Organization of the nations COM
mercial interests for economical and
effective distribution of commodities
among the civilian population.
Rapid provision of adequate means
of combating the submarine menace.
The raising of large sum of mon

by taxation, and the definite amount
of the first budget not to be fixed un-
til the exact needs of the army and
navy and of the entente allies are as
certained
Purchase of supplies and equip
ment of all kinds for the army under
u provision of law which allows the

showing they are performing duty
equivalent to fighting.

FROM THE COUNTY sU-
PERINTENDENT.

Application for State Aid blanks
have been received in this Office and
will be mailed to. each teacher in q
school that may be able to. get the
State Aid. Last year one school in
the county classified and received
$4,000 of state aid. We wish to call
attention to the fact that $4,000 is
appropriated annually by the state for
rural schools alone. Emmons county
should have her share. A very little
expended for heating system, few
supplementary readers, a drinking
fountain, etc., will soon be paid for
with the money received from the
state and the school will be enjoying
the facilities provided. Progressive
teachers will assist in calling the at
tention of members Of school boards
to the essential requirements fortheir
schools. Any one desiring more in
formation may get manual issued
by the State Board of Education BY
applying to this ONCE.
Our county will build a number Of
new school buildings this summer.
Some new schools will be opened and
q number Of the new buildings will
take the places of old ones that have
outlasted their usefulness. Emmons
county has number of fine rural
school buildings, and since our laws
require certain plans and specifica-
tions to be followed, the number of
desirable buildings is increasing rap
idly.
The examination papers from the
eighth-grad finals are arriving in the
Office and are being gone over in the
order received. The reports are being
sent to the teachers as rapidly as pos
sible.
Certificates for three months per-
feet attendance were issued to Katie
Schiele, of Winchester district No. s;
to Mark Purintun, of Highland No.
21; and to George Huber, Of Sand
Creek No. "a.
Certificates of nine months perfect
attendance were issued to John Ra-
my, Velma Corner, Pearl Ramey, An
ma Postle, Martha Vossler, Otilla
-Schaffer, Maria Schweitzer, and Pc
ter Schweitzer, all of Winchester dis
rtrict No. 5.
The second number of the Educa-
tionaI News Bulletin has been mailed

followed the program for the day.

G. w. Kundert broke the ice with q
most worthy paper on School Man

pointers for all the teachers.
Gust Feichtinger read story Of
the daring "Robin Hood" which was
listened to with much interest.
Our honorable member, F. C. Gay
lord, who never missed meeting,
electrified the association with exer-
cises in swinging Indian clubs. He
did this to music, keeping time to the
every caprice of the player.
S.A. Potter spent goodly half-honr
at the black board showing practical
ly to the teachers primary Processes
in Arithmetic" Most prudently, Mr..
Potter admits that he is no professor
Of Mathematics, but we must admit no
professor could have spent more in
teresting half hour with us than he
did.
H. B. Kiefer gave us his popular
Interpretation Of the "Degeneracy of
our Popular Songs" Comically, but
tragically, he assigned them to the
world" where they come from, which
sounded much like under"
Mr.. John Croaisdale touched the
heartstrings Of the country school
teachersl with his subject, "Our
Schools" Mr.. Croaisdale knows
whereof he speaks, and his sentiment
for the rural school teacher was pic
turd true to life.
Miss Esther Edmond had the teach
ers roaring with laughter with hu-
morous reading. If you miss the word
buggy" apply to Miss Edmond for
elucidation.
The climax of the program was
capped by the "Story, Concluded" by
Miss Hem. The installments of this
story created great interest in every
meeting. Miss Hem concluded, as
she started the story, with mastery
hand with due respect to all other
writers). We do not know exactly
what moral to draw from the story,
but it appears that the masculine
gender has taken notion that Life
Is Not All q Dream"
The meeting was closed by song
sung by the association.
After all matters were discussed,
the meeting adjourned, members ex-
pressing their desire to be able to
meet again, to be able to assist one
another in the strenuous work Of
their profession.
The teachers Of the association de-
sire to express their appreciation to
Miss s. Cecilia Hem, president of the
association, and to its secretary, Mr..
Gust Feichtinger, who bore the brunt
Of the work in the business manage
ment.
