Sinking Of American
Ship May Be the

Washington, Feb. lion the basis
of news dispatches, the government
began seeking official information of
the destruction Of the American
schooner Lyman NJ. Law by a subma-
rine to determine at once how the case
affects the delicate situation between
Germany and the United States.
The dispatch was taken to indicate
that the Law was sunk in the Mediter-
ranean. where Austria also Is conduct
ing submarine operations.
The main points to be determined
are whether the ship was attacked
without warning. whether she carried
contraband and whether any American
lives were lost.
The United States considers the
sinking of ship carrying contraband
a doubtful right, but as in the cases
of the sailing ship William P Frye
and the steamer Housatonic, has not
considered 1t violation of information

which entails loss of life.

To Parents of High School Chil-
dren.

This is the time to plan for the edu-
cational training of your child for next
session. If your child failed on any
subjects shall be glad to advise you
as to what the school has decided it is
best to do for him. l have discussed
every failure with the teachers and we
have reached decision. OF course,
the decisions put on the reports are
final. They were put there after care
full consideration as to the best thing
for your child, and with no other aim
except to do the best thing for
the child and school. However,
since we are to raise our course of
study and even those who failed get
promotion in some subjects, in many
cases where we have stated that the
pupil will be allowed to take an exam
ination and be promoted il satisfac-
tory grade is made, we believe it will
be better for the pupil not to attempt
to make up the work. The examina-
tions, therefore, will be as serious as
regular examinations and will be
graded as strictly.
Some parents have asked about send
ing their children to college before
they complete the fourth year work of
high school. refer them to the arti-
Gle in this issue Of the Beacon relative
to changes in our high school course.
l also repeat what have said publicly,
that do not believe, since we have the
four-year course, any parent should
send pupil to college before he has
taken the fourth year work, unless the
parent finds it impossible to regulate
the home life of the pupil in such a
way that it will bring about the best
results at school. In such cases the
pupil should not be sent to q standard
college but to a junior college or pre-
paratory school where a close super
vision of the pupils is in force and
study hours required at night and right
habits formed.
Pardon me in closing in insisting that
you ever hold up before your child the
ideal of getting high school education.
1t is our duty to the child to do this
and our duty to our country.
Yours sincerely.

AS member Of the Woman's Mission

present at the meetings and performed
we'll her part in the advancement and
work of the society. AS a member
there was rone more faithful than she:
as an officer there was none more eff

responsibility, and she held herself in
readiness always to do what the Father
commanded.
AS a church member she loved her
church., she attended upon its ordi-

In Christian character she was a
shining light. Her presence seemed
always to bring with it blessing.
Her smile shed its joy to human hearts
as the sunbeam may illuminate dark
places. Her manner was kind and gen.

none spoke Of her but to praise. Her
life was lived in the spirit of the Mas

her having lived.

James Scott Secures Diuorce

The divorce suit of James Scott against Mrs. Nancy Scott was tried in the super for court last Monday before Judge Sidney Sapp. T h ( plaintiff was represented by Attorney E. s. Clark of Pres colt and M. J. Doughtery of Mesa. Ex-Governor Kib- bey of Phoenix and Morris & Spaulding of Pres colt re- presented the defendant.
 The trial of the case esta- blished the fact that the parties to the suit have not been living together for se- veral years. Prior to their separation an agree ment was entered into by which a di- vision of property was made, and by it's terms each party was to live a separate life.
 Some months ago M r. Scott entered suit for di- vorce; Mrs. Scott contested the suit evidently on the ground that she was not at this time satisfied with the property settlement made at the time she and her hus- band agreed to live separate lives.
 Both principals to the suit testified at the trial, and the two daughters were witness es for their father. At the close of the trial Judge Sapp granted a decree of divorce to the plaintiff, and ratified the agreement made previ- ously by the parties as to the division of the property.

Dear Sir 1 received the Holbrook News you mailed me last week. and took great pleasure in reading it, and to learn the latest news in Holbrook, and hardly know how to thank you for your kind present.
 Just a few lines to let you know how we, (W. A. Lee, A. M. Fish and myself) like the navy life.
 Will say altho we found things somewhat different than we expected we are not in the least sorry we enlist ed, and are only glad we did.
 We are proud to be called a bluejacket and to be num- bered among men who are willing to spend four years of their lives in the service of the U. s. A., and not afraid to risk their lives to protect the stars and stripes and their loved ones left be- hind.
 The boys in blue are well treated, well fed and well drilled, which all goes to make men out of them.
 1 think the Navy offers a fine opportunity to a ny young man who wishes to serve his country, and'would faCner see a young man en- list in the navy than the army.
 Will close; again thanking you for the Holbrook News, 1 remain Very Truly Yours,
