PROMINENT MISSIONARY IS
VISITING BROTHER HERE

+. R. Beckman, brother of A. J,
Beckman who resides in the Plain
View district, arrived here Thursday
night accompanied by his wife and
daughter Thyra, from Chicago, ILL.,,
and will visit at the home of his bro
ther for some time.
Mr.. Beckman sis connected with the
Scandinavian Alliance Mission of
North America, and for many years
was missionary in China-he being
one of the unfortunate ones who were.

during the revolution which broke ou.
It Sianfu, China in 1911, at which
time the wife and two little daughters
of Mr.. Beckman and five others of the
party were massacred by the heather
Chinese, as result of their efforts to
spread the gospel and teachings of
God among the Orientals of that To-
cality.
Mr. Beckman, with his little daugh-
ter Tyre, then four years old,
clasped in his arms managed to escape
from the crazed mob after night of
terror, thus escaping the terrible fate
which befell his wife and remaining
children and sister and brother mis-
sionaries.

the Massacre of Sianfu', written BY
Mr.. Becknan for the Grit Advocate.

POPULARITY GAINS
COLORADO NOW HAS 2s SUCH
SCHOOLS, PLACING S2 OLD
FASHIONED, ONE-ROOM
BUILDINGS

Colorado now has 26 consolidated
schools. Seventeen of these are fully
organized and in successful operation
The other nine are formed within
the past u months and will have their
organization completed for the next
school year. OF the 62 old districts
that have consolidated not one has
ever tried to withdraw and return to
the old system.
There are thousands of consolidated
schools scattered all over the United
States. Indiana has over 700, North
Dakota over 400, Tennessee 400,
Minnesota 220, Iowa 2l5, Washington
100, while many other states have
from so to 100 and the number is
increasing very fast. Consolidation
has been successful all over the Unit
ed States and has done more to i'm
prove the rural schools than any other
movement in the past 20 years.
Consolidation makes graded school
possible in the country. Better
teachers, better buildings and better
opportunities always follow. This
system reconizes the needs of the lit
lie children, the beginners, and gives
them teacher trained for primary
work, and room to themselves with
equipment and methods suited to their
ages and abilities instead of group
ing them in the same room with all
the other children under one teacher.
Trained teachers are likewise en-
ployed for the intermediate and up
per grades. A strong principal is en-
ployed for the whole school, the work
is divided, the recitations per teacher
are reduced, the time for each lesson
is doubled or trebled and system is
established.
Are your children enjoying these
advantages Colorado Agricultural

1t is not necessary to cerve pota-

In cooking meats, cut off the tough

Butterine or some butter substitute

good country butter is usually cheap

Skinned milk can be purchased
at reduction in price, as compared
with whole milk, and will be just as
satisfactory for cooking purposes.
Beef suet is now cheaper than lard

NEW BANK FOR CHAPEL

According to a report appearing in
the State Journal, Chappell is to have
another bank, making a third insti-
tuition of this kind. The State bank
ing board has issued charter for the
new institution and it is named as the
Peoples Bank of Chappell The cap
ital stock will be $4,000. L. P. Sor-
enson, a banker of Cunts, Nebr., is
named as the president and T. E. Knox
as vice president, while ]. w. Knox is
named as cashier. Outside of the re-
port appearing in the daily paper, we
have but little information regarding
the enterprise. Last week some of
the men interested in the new bank
were in Chappell and we understand
that they were looking for location,

this time indicates that those who
have been accepted for service will
not be called to duty until September
first, and there is strong possibility
of the call being withheld until Oct
ober first, in which case those being
engaged in agricultural pursuits will
have ample time to help complete the
harvesting of the small grain crops
and probably most of the threshing
season will be over before called to
arms.
There are many people who think
that where young man is engaged
in farming that he will have a good
cause for exemption, but so far,
have been unable to find any ruling
by the Department at Washington
which justifies the conclusion, and
those in authority seem to doubt very
much if it will accept agricul
tural pursuits as an excuse from ex-
emption from service, and l am very
much inclined to the opinion that the
Department will never see its way
clear to allow exemptions to be ac-
cepted on the grounds that parties are
engaged in farming pursui,3.
81 hope this will clear the doubt in
many peoples mind. l wish to rec
commend that everybody sit steady
in the boat" and avoid all unnecessary
worrying, because nothing can be ac-
complished by anticipating what is
to come, am fully satisfied the Gov
ernment is doing all they possibly can
for the welfare of the people and
feel sure that all Americans are pat
riotic to the cause"

Dear Slrs:
The enclosed letter will answer the

your readers would be glad of an op-
portunity to get right in this matter:
therefore, am sending you the en-
closed, and give you the privilege o.
explaining in your own language, bv
printing the inclosed circular or dis
carding the same, as you think best,

you had better do in this matter.

do anything in my power to furnish
any information you may call for.

to be the most difficult to understand
is the rules for exemption from the
service.
"At the request Of several, who are
either engaged in agricultural pur-
suits or directly interested in good
crop results, l have visited the Pro
vost Marshal's office, at the Capito!

The filing Of an exemption or the
failure to file an exemption at the
time of registering will have very
little, if any, effect on future service,

drawing at this time will be to desig-
nate from registration lists those
chosen to first appear for their medi-
cal examination, at which time all OF
those found physically disqualified for
war service will be given card, eX-
planning what their further duties will
be. Those found physically qualified
for service can file claim for exem-

the examination was taken, or re-
lative or friend can file the claim in
the party's behalf, and then they have
ten days in which to file their proof.
