to be Made in Night
School Glasses Here

Opportunity will be given men OF
military age who are liable to the draft
to learn telegraphy that they might
become army telegraphers through a
course to be offered by the vocational
department of the High school as a
night school course.
There is a great need in the new
army for men who are able to operate
telegraph instruments and men who
have this knowledge will be in de-
mand. Many schools and colleges
throughout the country have begun to
teach telegraphy and it is believed that
more will begin the work next win
ter.
Students will be given instruction In
sending and receiving the simple
Morse code, that they may be able to
take up advanced instruction that is
given by the government at FIT. Leav-
enworth, Kansas, where the uses and
construction of various kinds OF instru-
ments used in the signal corps of the
army are taught.
The classes will be open to all men
of military age and will be conducted
in the evening. The time for the open
ing of the classes will be announced
later. For further information con-
corning the class. address X. v. Car

LANGUAGES ARE
UNDER Ban IN
FARMING COURSE
Agricultural Curriculum In
High School Drops Latin
and German.

Latin. Algebra, German and other
classical studies will be omitted from,
the vocational agricultural course In
the Richmond high school. The voca'
tional agricultural boys viii take only
the subjects that are OF practical farm
value.
Heretofore the farmer boys have
come into the high schools and taken
the regular academic courses that
have tended to lead them farther and
farther away from the agricultural
field. AS result the farms have been
depleted of the best kind of help and
the engineering fields have been over
crowded." says Civic Gardener Muir
ply, who will have charge OF the agri
cultural course.
Agriculture will take up half the
boys time each day in the new agri
cultural course planned for Richmond
high school. The remainder OF the
time will be spent with English
Civics, Farm Accountancy, Farm Me
chanics. and Botany. All these sub
jects are closely related to agricultural
life. and provide suitable course 70,
such Of its pupils as find their inter
ests in agricultural work.
The agricultural boys who have al
ready taken work in the high school,
will be given full credit for such work
The regular academic requirements
for graduation will be cancelled, and
the courses offered in the agricultural
program will be substituted and full
credit toward graduation will be giver
for such work.

WAR" GARDENS
PRODUCE WORTH
MORE THAN$5,0OO
Murphy Reports City Had
1000 plots Under Cultiva-
ton This Season.

Richmond had 1900 war" gardens,
produce from which amounted to more
than $4,000 this season, according to
Civic Gardener Murphy's report be-
fore the Civic Garden association Wed
nesday afternoon.
Murphy said the gardens were ex-
ceptionally good, showing that the
owners spent much time in them.
Many OF the gardeners who had the
best success had never had garden
before. 'They all report that they en-
joyed the work so much that they will
have gardens again next year." he
said
Murphy's report showed that since
May 1. 1,04O telephone calls have zen
received at his office. These calls
were for information and requests for
him to visit gardens.
Expected to Hold Lots.
In discussing plans for next year, it
was decided that lots should be obtain
ed and distributed as soon as possible.
Those having lots now are expected to
keep them.
City Engineer Charles has offered
to find the names OF the owners Of any
vacant lot in the city for persons who
will call him
A small fee for blowing lots will be
charged by the city next year. The
association believes that persons will
take more interest in their garden II
they have to pay small amount Of
money on it.
IF they get their lot for nothing,
and their blowing free, they don't take
much interest in it" Murphy said.
The association will furnish garden

The hair pin is an almost human
device which, when properly attached
to the graceful, sloping head Of women,
give it a knobby and determined aspect
and prevents the hair from coming on
until IT is time to go to bed.
In olden times women wore their
own hair to quite large extent, and
allowed it to flow down the. back with-
ont building dam at any point. For
thousands Of years woman never

the form Of an ice cream cone and
thrusting long. nervous hairpins thru

drop on the floor or deposit themselves

days women did not have to put in a
full hour before going down town in
dong up their hair and then wonder
IL 1t would stay on until they got back.
AS the world progressed in civiliza-
ton, however. and natural hair be-
came scarcer, the present method OF
wearing the hair in a loose, uncon-
cerned wad sprang into popularity.
This made II necessary to secure a
prop which would hold the hair in a.
rigid. upright attitude, so somebody
invented the slim, two-legged hair pin

ONE MAN STREET CARS

A bill is being pushed hard provid-
ing for two men on each street car and
with some prospects of success Propo-
sitions that appear to shift all expense
to the "soulless corporation" always
have in them an element which BIDS
for success.
Marshalltown has one man street
cars where once il had two men to
each car. 1t has a most excellent
street car service where under the
| old conditions it had poor one. The
public appears to be we'll pleased with
! the one man service as it stands. The
men who operate the ears are salts
| fed and on inquiry state that they do
not desire Il change. The company
wants it. The men draw better wages
and the company is enabled to hire
| better men because the one man car
enables it to pay better wages.
The case being thus why should the
smaller cities he forced to a two-man
program? 1t means great deal more
To the smaller cities than TO the larger
ones. There is no question of two
man cars in larger cities. They be
come necessary to the proper and safe
operation of the cars and profitable
handling Of the traffic. But IN smaller
cities where one good man fairly paid
can and does operate a car safely and
to the satisfaction of the public, at
fording a larger number Of cars in
use. to the profit of himself. the public
and the company employing him why
should a statute force the employment
Of two men who will be paid less, be
worth less. run fewer cars at wider IN
tervals or at unsafe speed if the old
schedules are to be maintained.
In the smaller cities which this Dill
particularly affects extensions come
slowly. Street car lines are not highly
profitable ventures in most smaller
cities and extensions come slow. Why
force expense on lines and towns
where the public, the employees and the
employers are all opposed to such
change?
Before passing that bill the lesisla-
ture might with great advantage in
vestigate the situation in MARSHALL
town where the men signed a protest
against two men cars.
The one man car is approved here
by the public. Extensions are being
made. service Is excellent and safe.
The cars are on time manned by men
who know their business and who de-
sire to keep their jobs and the promise
is for better things. The attempt to
force unnecessary employees upon the
street car companies in minor cities
should fail In effect it is movement
against efficiency instead of push
toward progress.
