Audra Marolf of the fifth grade
has been absent for two week
with the measles. She returned
Monday.
Miss Nickerson turned rancher

Miss Shy has so far recovered

The following pupils have with
drawn from the grades owing to
their parents removing from
town: Robert, Walter. Bertha
end Mildred Burns and Melville
Hobson.
The pupils of the school appre-
ciate Mr.. Bogert.s kindness in do
ing the printing for their enter
taininment for which he would
take no pay. He said that he
wished to do his part in the pat
riotic service.
The entertainment Thursds y
evening was we'll patronized and
the school realized $3.50 which
was practically all clear. This
money is used to help pay the
children's fee for the junior red
cross.
The few girls remaining at the
dormitory during the vacation re
solved that they would do their
bit for red cross work. and So they
gave pancake supper Saturday
night. They realized $40 05. A
large portion of which will be. net
as their expenses were small.
Mr.. Toothacher was present at
the opening exercises of the high
school Thursday morning and
gave the pupils a fine talk. He
told them how the Y. M. C. A.
fund to which they had so liber-
ally contributed was being spent
He was here in the interest of the
Y. M. C. A. work and tried to in
terest the boys in the coming con
ference at Canyon City.
The writer has been informed
that there are at least two col
lege graduates teaching in the
county for very small wages. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many university people are en-
gagged in rural work in this county
1t is good for the community but
it would seem that teachers of
that education ought to as ire to
a better position than small ru-
raj school.
Every pupil in the high and
grade school is enrolled in the
junior red cross society. Besides
u large number is enrolled in the
regular red cross society and prac
tically all of the teachers. These
pupils and teachers have this
year contributed over $lOO to the
war fund in one way or another,
many have worked faithfully in
knitting and other work, the
teachers have worked on commit
tees and many of them have
bought liberty bonds. Isn't this
a record in patriotism to be proud
Of? Still they are not weary and
stand ready to do more if more is

millio dollars in one week. Or
course the government created
every collar of this increased val
ue. although not penny of it
will go to the public treasury.
There is good reason to believe
that stockholders welcomed gov
ernment control. They knew
that they could not indefinitely
pay out in dividends the money
which should nave been expend-
ed on maintenance.
THEY DON'T WANT MUCH
But they do not want govern
ment ownership. Not at all.
Theywill be satisfied if the gov
ernment will re-equip and rebuild
the roads, guarantee reasonable
dividends during the re-construc-
ton period and then return the
roads to private management.
This is splendid scheme from
the point of view of the railroads
but poor arrangement so far as
the people of the United States
are concerned.
The railroads should never be
returned to private ownership.
Private ownership has been test
ed and has proven a failure Pub
lie ownership. where subjected
to the severest test, has / cen fully
indicated.
Germany own and operates its
roads. Has government owner
81 ip been a success in Germany?
Consider the conntry's marvellous
industrial development prior to
the war and the strain to which
the roads must have been subject
ed duricg the last four years. and
answer the question for yourself.
Then consider the experience
of this country where private
ownersl ip has been given a free
hand. The moment we entered
the war the defects in our rail-
road system began to develop.
and finally the entire structure
went to pieces.
Many excuses were offered, but
nation cannot afford TO accept
excuses as substitute for per-
formances, especially in time of
war.
FUNDAMENTAL WEAKNESS.
The men who ran the railroads
were not entirely to blame. They
were the creatures of a system
which demanded dividends at any
cost. That is the fundamental
weakness of private ownership of
public utilities-to much atrent-
ion is paid to profits for stock
holders and too little to service
for the public.
Senator Hiram johnson stated
the case when, in discussing the
railroad question on the floor of
the Senate. he said: I'VE have
paid the price of private owner
ship in millions of acres of oar
best farm lands.a We have paid
the price in our forests, in our
coal deposits, our lands gushing
with oil. We have paid the price
in building up overnight fabu-
lous fortunes, used for the undo
ing Of the State. We have pail
the price in handicapping our own
people, in distorting out publ:
and our private economy. in cor
rupting our political life. and in
tainting the very fountain head
of justice. We have paid the
price of private ownership in this
nation, and no matter what be
the attitude Of any of US to day.
despite barriers or obstacles. the
nation is marching straight to the
soal of public ownership. and the

} The momentary need for action in
the world war to protect herself
against the Bolsheviki or Germans,
and the presence of internal trouble
has brought about critical period
in China's history. The pictures
above show some of the men on
whom responsibility rests at this
time. Wang Shi- Cheng is the pre-
lmier of China and probably the most
influential man in the Pekinese gov

Tales of the FrjendlyFOneSt
BY DAVID CORY

Well, I received a ticket to the
Rabbitville baseball world series
game just in time for me to call up
a taxi and get there. And wasn't it
lucky? Just as l reached the big
gate Uncle Lucky and Billy Bunny
drove up in their Lucklmobile and
invited me to sit in a. box with them,
for Uncle Lucky was president Of
the baseball club. you know. and re-
ceived a million carrots a year, which
is more than many a professional
baseball player gets, so I'm told.
After a little while, not so very
long, the game started, and the first
bunny that hit the ball made a
home run, and the next bunny two
home runs, and then the umpire
couldn't find the ball and had to stop
the game till they found it.
So after that nobody hit the ball
very hard, you know. for they want
ed to play, and all the people who
went to see the game didn't want
to be given rain checks and sent
home.
And after the game was over the
Rabbitville baseball Dummies gave
three cheers and 13 tigers and a
lot Of animal crackers, for they had
won the game, you see, and this
made Billy Bunny very proud. and
Uncle Lucky, too, for the old gentle
man rabbit owned the Rabbitville
baseball club, and the oftener they
won the more money Uncle Lucky
made, Of course.
Now think we'd better drive
home" he said, so he and his bunny
nephew got into the Luckymobile,
and, oh dear me! They almost ran
over one of the baseball players
Wasn't that dreadful? But not as
dreadful as If they had, you know.
Goodness gracious mebus!" ex-
claimed the old gentleman rabbit,
and he took his blue silk polkadot
handkerchief out of his pocket and
busted off his old wedding stovepipe
hat, for he was dreadfully upset over
1t, you know. And then he turned
his goggles upside down so that he
could see better and started off
again, and after a little ways, not so

New York. Sept 1.-THE remarks
able manner in which Robert Lind
ley Murray, the California tennis
player. fought his way through the
recent national championship singles
tournament at Forest Hills, NJ. T..
has strongly impressed the most OK
pert followers OF the court game
Murray entered the tournament
without preliminary practice TO
speak of and only after considerable
persuasion. When he finally decided
to compete, he went about the task
in a most workmanIike manner and
by steady development OF all por-
tions of his game reached a height
of playing which was consid-
cred impossible by critics who had
followed his belated entry and prae-
tice.
The. new champion, who proved
himself worthy successor to the
other Californian national title hold
ers, Maurice e. Mclaughlin and
William M. Johnston, was not helped
in any way by his position in the
draw. In fact quite the contrary
was true for he, faced the very best
of the 80 odd entrants during his
progress to the championship. His
first match was comparatively easy
When he deTeaCSd JACK DuQley, the
Washington youth. at 60, SO. 6-1.
Lieutenant Kelleher was forced to
default in the second round, owing
to a hurry call back to service but
after that Murray was obliged td
play in every advance.
He defeated 7. r. Pell, the back
hand expert, So, &c. 60 and Fred
B. Alexander, 6-s, SIS, SO As, SO,
in what was probably his hardest
match. N, w. Niles gave Murray
another hard battle but was defeat
ed 10, ga, 2-s. rs. S. H. Vosheu
next fell before Murray at Ga, 6-8r
So, and then the Californian clinch~
ed the title by defeating w. j. Tx
den, Jr., 6-3. 6-1, rs.
During the eight. days Of play
Murray faced and defeated six oppo%
nents, not including Kelleher's de-
fault. with the loss of but three sets
out of the twenty-four played. OF
these twenty-four sets but six went
to deuce and Murray lost bit ons
of the extra game sets. His total
number Of games was 1872 OF which
he won 127 and lost sixty-five.
