SCHOOL NOTES
(By Elizabeth RuIe).

Two Freshmen were discussing pro-
grams. 20 everybody gives better
program than the Seniors anyway"
remarked one of them.
The Seniors are sorry, hut they
can't suit everybody. Now dent for
get to come to the Junior program
that will be given Friday, March 16,
at 2:45. We we're very glad to see
go many mothers and friends OF the
students at the program last week.
Everyone is welcome, SO don't fail to
be there.
The girls who carry vanity cases
in their pockets should be careful
when they remove their handk erchiefs
in civics class.
Mrs. w. u. S. Parsons gave an in
teresting professional talk on Home
Economics or Domestic Science" on
Tuesday morning. She brought out
the point that the way to a mans
heart is through his stomach. Every
girl should take some domestic
science therefore to be able to get
q husband. A word to the wise sem
ed to be sufficient as a number Of
the girls said they thought they had
better take course in domestic
science. Mrs. Parsons gave some
very interesting facts about the pro-
6ession and in a foroeful manner.
The high school cannot express their
appreciation to the friends who have
given these professional talks. Each
has been a help to all.
Why do the Freshman girls call
the Freshman boys "Dear?"
A trrleheader basket tall game
was played at the school gymua SUM

men, eighth grade girls and sixth
grade boys of Central City and the

FEDERAL LEASING BILLS
AGAIN ON THE SHELF

Congress has adjourned without
adopting any of the federal land leas-
ing bills. The administration now has
the opportunity to justify its pro-
testatiens against the idleness Of
western resources. 1t is not fer con-
but for the president, through his
secretary of interior, to issue an or
der cancelling all previous withdraw
ais. When the executives of the three
last administrations accepted the re-
sponsitility OF flcuting the constitu-
ticnal rights Of the western people,
they accepted this responsibility for
just so loug time as they choose TO
hold it, since the public land with
drawals were avowedly temporary.
Now we have had enough temporiz-
ing, and the business OF Mr.. Wilson
is to forego further effort to fix the
burden Of the Great Wrong upon con-
gress. 1t is within his power, accord
ing to the reasonings of himself and
the reports and communications of
his secretary Of the interior are con-
stantly proclaiming. Congress has ad-
journed, and 1t is not likely that the
national lawmakers will soen have
another opportunity to consider the
outrageous landleasirg proposals. If
the matter should again arise, the
west will continue it's fight against
its eastern enemies who insist upon
imposing unconstitutional disabilities
upon It. There is certain similarity
between Mr.. Wilson'S position with
respect to the arming OF merchant
vessels and his attitude toward the
public domain, as voiced by Mr..
Lane. II is announced that, although
congress neglected to concede, GER
tain warmaking powers to the pres
ident cu the sea, Mr.. Wilson will
proceed notwithstanding to act as
he desired the lawmakers to direct
him. Since congress has neglected
TO empower the executive to lease
any OF the federal domain, and has
30 neglected for several terms. 1t
Is for MIR. Wilson to consider his
own powers and restore the lands
to the settlers and developers of the
west ON conditions that accord with
the declarations Of he wi hdrawal or.
ders-on conditions that are homer.
able to the executive and the west
alike. There is no evading this ar
gumenf; the lands should be dispos.
ed Of in the only manner that Is
possible. according to the statutory
dArectioTs Of congress-. which is en-
powered by the constitution to order
the methods ct disposition. The last
three presidents Of the United States
have been deliberate usurpers OF the

AMONG THE MINES
CARR NINE

The Colorado Carr mine, Of whie h
favorable mention was made in last
weeks issue, is again to the front
as a great producer.
During the week, several lots of
ore from this mine were treated at
our local works, as we'll as many tons

IAN egg," explains an essayist, ''is
composed Of four parts-the shell, tho
yoik, the white and the price. The
shell is very fragile, lie one of the
Ten Commandments, and can be brok-
en- without an effort. The price Is
the biggest Fart of the egg and it's
greatest protection. The price alone
has saved millions of innocent young
eggs from being boiled and eaten.
Eggs are delicate and spell quickly.
When an egg spoils it puts its whole
heart into the performance. One can
tell a spelled egg as far as it can be
seen, and with ones eyes shut at that
Ii the Rocky mountain zerhyr is in
the right direction. There was a time
when everyone ate fresh eggs in sum.
mer and went without in winter.
Nowadays, however, business meth
DDS have led men to buy all the fresh
eggs in summer and store them until
winter, when they have acquired q
rich russet flavor"

BEWARE OF TAINTED NEWS
(By Congressman Keating).


Ninety-five per cent of the news
we are receiving from Europe comes
from London, and England is natural
ly anxious to get us into war There
fore we must be on our guard and
refuse to accept every foreign dis
patch at its face value.
In this connection the following in
terview with Col. Frederick Hale,
United States senator elect from
Maine. who returned from Europe the
other day is interesting:
THE allies want us in the war;"
said Colonel Hale. Lloyd George
wants us in the war; Premier BRAND
wants us in the war
Il had talk with Lloyd George
before left England. l also talked
with BRAND in France and o:her
prominent officials. Wi hout excep,
tion they were elated at the step
which sent Count ven Bernstorff tack
/ to Germany and believe the next
move will carry the United States
, into war ON the side of the allies.
"They declare the spectacle Of the
American troops fighting the German
, armies in France would have a tre-
mendcus moral effect. II is felt that
the United States could help most
by conveying steamships and by al
lowing use Of her great credit"
The majority Of the Zig daily Pa
pers in this coundry were fer war
| long before the president severed
diplomatic relations with Germany.
Now they are attempting to silence
the advocates Of peace by branding
them as "Pro-Germans" and, at the
same time, endeavoring to make the
people believe that President Wilson
has changed front and is for war.
These rapers did not support the
president in the last campaign and
they are not authorized to speak fer
him now. Wilson is Just as earnest
ly in favor Of peace today as he
was last October, and he never lcses
an opportunity in his public utter
ances to make that clear.
