CITY REFUSES
TO RESTRICT
CITY PLATS

Because 1t might handicap own
ers of small tracts of land who
could not afford to make improve
ments before plating their prop
erty, the city council Wednesday
refused to take action on the re-
quest of the Tacoma Real Estate
association that no new plats in
the city limits of Tacoma be ac-
cepted unless streets were graded
and water mains and sewers In
stalled.
At the same session the council
approved the proposed plat of SUI
perior Judge yesterday, who owns
six blocks on seth street, between
and Park ave. No improve
ments have been made on Judge
yesterdays property.

NY. BOYCOTT
DROPS PRICES

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.--Whole-
sale and retail dealers in poultry
on New York's east side admitted
this afternoon that the boycott of
Jewish and Italian housewives
has paralyzed the poultry market
and is fast wrecking their bust
ness. They made the admission
to Food Commissioner Joseph
Hartigan and asked him for con-
ference through which they hope
to obtain a compromise with the
women.

THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL
IIIIIIHIIIIIIIlIIIEI

The Mineral Point school has enlisted
to 'do its Bit to help our country win
the war. On Friday, Mr. Rood spoke OF
the relation of the public schools to the
great war; on Monday, Mr. Orchard
gave an account of the work of the 7.
NJ. G.. A. in the camps and showed the
need of supporting the work; on Tues
day, Mrs Parkinson, Mrs Gray and
Miss Bradford spoke to the grade and
high school pupils explaining the work
of the Red Cross and showing how the
children can support this work. Each
morning one Of the high school teach
ers presents some particular way in
which the school as whole Or the stu
dents as individuals can help bring vic
tory to our government. A few weeks
ago the schools gave over thirty dollars
toward the library fund for the soldiers
and they are eager to do their part in
other ways.
A general meeting of the teachers
and school board was held last Thurs
day evening. The teachers presented
many thoughts and ideas which they
had received at the State convention at
Milwaukee and the meeting was a
most interesting and profitable one.
The football season closes with the
Monroe Mineral Point game which is
to be played here on Friday, November
23.
The second annual concert of the
High School Music club will be given
shortly after Thanksgiving.

Against the German Autocrats.

Bloomington Record: We haven't
any sympathy with the argument that
our being at war with Germany neces-
states a hatred Of the German people.
We believe the people Of Germany have
been misguided by those in authority,
and our feelings are directed purely
against the German autocracy. We
believe the great majority of American
citizens Of German birth or descent to
be absolutely loyal, and we believe they
should be the first to rebuke those who
have tried to lead them into disloyal
thought or word Or deed. And we fur
the1 believe that in the years to come,
after Germany has been decisively
whipped and her government restored
to her people, that these people will
come to regard President Wilson and
the American people as far better
friends Of the real Germany than the
kaiser and his mobiles have ever been.
