ACTION BY SCHOOL, BOARD
Board Takes Steps to Promote Best
Interests of Public School.

At a meeting of the Evening
Shade publ; school board, held last
Friday, it was unanimously decided
to adopt rule that school students
shall not attend parties or dances
on school nights; permitting, how
ever, students to have one party or
dance week, but that on Saturday
night.
The teachers have been notified
to enforce this rule, and to punish
by expulsion from school all those
who persist in breaking this order.
All residents who give parties or
dances on other nights than Satur-
day night will be considered ene-
mics of the school, as it is a we'll
recognized fact that these gather
ings frequently ndulged in by school
students will destroy their interest
in educational progress,
The board also stands by its for.
mer order concerning the vaccina.
ton of school children. The teach
ers have been instructed not to men
ton that matter in the schoOlrOom
nor permit others to do so. Those
who desire to have their children
vacclnated may do so, and those
who do not desire to have theil
C iildren vaccinated may continue
their children in school, and the
board urges all patrons to stand by
the school in enforcing attendance
and in every way possible. The
board is not opposing vaccination
but it will not, under the present
status of the order, attempt to en-
force vaccination, and respectfully
asks that all responsibility for any
failure to enforce vaccination il
this district be laid upon the board
These rules have been made t
promote the best interests of the
school as the board views it, ant
,he board trusts they will NEE
the sanction of patrons of the dis
uict.

MUST DISARM FLEETS

LONDON. Nov. I5.-Problems con-
nected with the policing and pro-
visionins OF Russia and the central
powers hinge primarily upon the i'm
mediate disarmament OF the German
fleet. the Russian warships held by
the Germans and those under control
OF the Ukrsinian government in the
Black sea. Warships which are held
by the bolshevists in the Finnish
gulf must also be put out OF COM
mission.
Without freedom of movement in
the Black and Baltic seas, the en-
tente powers and the United States
will have great difficulty in afford

BELGIUM LOOKS TO U. S.

Belgium looks TO America for
everything" declared Mgr. Carton de
Wharf today. referring to his coun-
try's reconstruction. He has come to
thank the American people for their
assistance to Belgium and to repre-
sent his country at Cardinal Gibbons
golden jubilee.
IF a new Belgium is TO be built
upon the ashes OF the old" said the
cardinal, America must do IL. and
it will take generations to rebuild
the physical Belgium. There is no re-
construction program in Belgium.
There are no resources, no funds. All
Industries and plants OF production
were blown up by Belgians so that
Germany could not utilize them to
strengthen her war machine. Educa-
tion has been disorganized. Tubercu-
IOsis is rife. Men and women are
suffering from malnutrition and all
children born since war began are
under weight"

FLU" FUM|GAT|ON
IRKS ELEPHANTS

VENICE. Cal. Nov. l5.-The ele-
plants in the Al G. Barnes circus
nearly went on strike when Health
Officer Megee halted the long circus
train outside the city limits of Venice
and. aided by a squad of military
police, insisted upon thorough
fumigation of their cars.
The circus had recently come from
section of the country where the
"1u" germs were particularly viru-
lent and the local health officer did
not want to take any chances. He
had half a dozen members Of the
street sweeping department 60 from
car to car with disinfectants.
There was no particular protest un-
til they reached the elephant cars.
The huge creatures looked with sus-
picion upon the ''fiu" fighters, and
loudly trumpeted' as the fumes of the
disinfectants reached their sensitive
nostrils. -.
Every animal, however. was given
smoke barrage, and when II was
lifted the health officer allowed the
circus to go into winter quarters.
There was no other open COM
plant, except from the albino girl.
The chemicals turned her blond,
fuzzy locks to a yellow brown.

SAY PRESIDENT CAN'T GO

That the country will be without a
President IN fact if President Wilson
Soes TO Europe. and there will be-
none who can nil his office while he
L. visiting abroad. is the view ex-
pressed by some or the authorities on
Constitution and law among the mem
beTs of Congress.
Repre- entative Towner. one OF the
ieSsl authorities Of the House, said
oday the proposed trip of the Presi-
dent TO Europe was impractlcable.
The Constitution provides that the
Vice President shall discharge the
duties OF the office OF President in
ccrtCin events" he Faid. That is on
the d,a.h. resignation, or removal Of
the President Or inability TO discharge
The duties Of his office. Now. the
absence o. the President on a volun-
tary trIp abroad cannot be construed
- 'insbi!ity' In the meaning o. the
Constitution. II would be virtually
nbdicatior OF his onice for the Presi-
lent - 20 10 Europe"

Editorial

Friendship is one of the things
that can't be driven, coaxed
or bought. 1t must come
spontaneously or it is worth
less.
The best way of obtaining
friendship is by deserving it.
Business, after all is said, is
greatly a matter Of dealing
with friends.
We feel safe in saying that we
have gained friends by de-
serving them-won them
through honest goods, fair
prices and square dealing.
But, holding friends is as I'M
portant as winning them.
If you will visit our store,
you'll learn what we offer
in value, in quality, and in
. service-to deserve continued
patronage.
Whether your purchase be
large or small, or you come
only to visit, you'll find this
a cheerful place to begin.
Striving to gain and retain
your friendship through de-
serving it is always our aim.
