ty High School election was held at
the office of county superintendent Of
schools, Miss Vera Waterman. T. w.

board to succeed DR.. Sullivan, who is

up. The budget submitted by Presi-
dent Kelley of the Normal school, was
read and approved. A vote was taken
and it was decided to sever relations

with the colleges because of having
branch school which does not fully
meet the requirements of the colleges.

Solemn Marches
Fill the Nights
Goodwin 4 Weekly:

Goodwin Weekly:
We are in state Of war and every
days dispatches are filled with the
far away echoes of the preparations
going on. And in each succeeding
day, those notes of preparation are
growing louder. The flies, the drums
and trumpets are swelling in volume,
and already the sounds of marching
feet from every state are growing
more distinct. But there is no break
in the solemn melody Of it all. When
one hundred million people, moved
by a holy purpose, are moving over an
expanse of 100000 square miles to
where their gathered strength may
become effective, they surely make an
impressive spectacle before the world.
To the thoughtful, they give an i'm
preston of power that should awe the
world.
And the mighty host is moving. The
tread of marching feet is heard in
every state. The echoes of trumpet
and drum are coming to US, while in
softer tones one hears:
Weave no more webs, ye Lyons
looms,
To deck our girls with gay delights;
The crimson flower of battle blooms
And solemn marches fill the nights"

latest plan adopted to fight the high
cost of living. When the wholesale
and retail bakers here blew the con-
sumers out of their economy trench
es by nearly doubling the price of
bread. Mrs. Julian Heath, president
of the National Housewives league.
Immediately took steps to meet this
last example of "frightfulness'
Mrs. Heath put the question
sauarely up TO a number of the
largest wholesale and retail bakers.
She was assured that there was no
help for the increase. The bakers
told her that many Of the smaller
bakers had already gone TO the wall
and all would be forced to go out of
business unless they raised the price.
They blame scarcity Of the wheat
crop. speculation by buyers Of for
eign governments and unwillingness
Of the public to realize the serious
ness Of the situation.
Mrs. Heath then proposed that tbs
bakers make a special loaf to con-
tain wheat -four and either corn,
rye or some other substitute. She
specified that this war loaf" must
be cheap and be made in such man
ner that there would be no diminu-
ton in calory values This sugges-

food continues TO grow scarcer.
Americans may find themselves go
ing 10 market with food cards and
getting just enough flour and pota-
toes to satisfy a normal appetite.
Economists appearing before the
senate agricultural committee i'm its
daily hearings on the food question
have already begun TO suggest the
necessity Of such measures.
Just now there is not any pressing
need of such restriction of cOnsump-
ton. but many congressional leaders
are prepared TO introduce such leg
islation before the end of the year #
il is shown TO be necessary 10 insure
success to Americas job of feeding
the world and winning the war. Be
fore this is done. however, steps will
be taken to establish maximum
prices for commodities TO protect
consumers from middleman eXtor-
ton during the war period. Such
price-fixing would increase con-
sumption, food experts explain, and
the curtailment of each individuals
food allowance by law would follow
as a necessity TO conservation Of
supply.
Those in charge of the food meas
ures in congress have about given
up the idea of fixing minimum
prices this year, TO encourage farm
ers to increase planted area and in
sure an adequate bread supply next
winter.

president today, for at the time Of
the Baltimore convention in 1912 ~
the middle of the night. enough
votes came over to give him a ma
jOrity. NUT that was not enough.
A twO-thirds vote is required, and
at his request his supporters caused
an adjournment Of that convention.
The people of nerve who were
supporting him said, Go on with the
convention and you will get enough
votes before morning. Rush the
other side and tear them out He
wanted an adjournment. / suppose
he wanted TO go out and call fol-
volunteers. And il is because of that
want OF nerve that he is not sitting
