To CONSOLIDATE

Sixteen Divisions May Be
Reorganized Into IL at
Passable Strength.

Washington, D. c.. June 30.-There
has been much speculation but nc

than four or five divisions complete
enough TO deserve that name
Consolidation Is Likely.
It seems likely that redistribution
and consolidation Of the force must
be undertaken soon after they pass
into the federal service under the
draft clause Of the national defence
act Probably IL or more complete
infantry divisions then could be or
ganized.
At fun war strength the existing
regiments would represent a total
force of probably $50 600 men. OF
that number at least one-third are
fairly well seasoned troops who al

OF intensive instruction and active
service on the border

Road Working Season

This is the time of the year
when the roads of the county get
what little work they receive. Sc
far, this work has not begun in
Powell. Every.man living in the
country, between the ages of
eighteen and fifty-two, owes the
county six days work on the road
upon which hOfesides. And it
is safe to say that the roAd needs
the labor. Tuis labor, if proper.
ly applied, can turn bad roads
into good ones. A good policy
is to fix a little of each road good
every year. If this principle is
worked out it will be surprising
how soon we wi have a whole
lot of good roads ~ Powell. Let
every citizen insist on getting a
little piece of good road along by
his place this yeao.

School days are here and the
very best of them should be
made. 1fpossible children should
attend every day, and should
have started the first day Of the
term. The children should have
as little home study as possible
and should be made to remain out
Of doors for at least two hours Of
of play daily after school, says a
leading educator.
Children who come directly
home from tiresome school day
and then curl up IN a chair tn
study until supper, soon become
pale and round shonldered, have
headaches and dark circles under
their eyes. If home study is alb
solutely essential, have child go
to bed early, get up early, take
glass of milk and study before
breakfast. He will then be fresh
and work twice as fast as if he
had attempted the same thing in
the evening when brain and eyes
are tired.
Have the children in bed by
z 80 or 500 p. m, and never al
low them to attend moving pict-
ure shows or any other form of
amusements that rob them os
much needed early sleep, which
is especially essential during the
school year. There is time enough
for these later in life, and on Sat-
urdays. If mothers insisted on
more sleep and regular hours for
school childred, there would be
decidedly fower cases of restless
nights, st. Vitus dance and other
nervous disorders.
The mother, as well as father,
should personally visit the school
and become acquainted with the
teacher, not to criticize, but TO
make friends with her and talk
freely about her children's short
as well as their good
qualities, in order that there may
be a better understanding be-
tween teacher and pupil.
