TEDROW SCHOOL

We are now able to reach the school
building; roads were opened so that
we were able to hold school Wednes-
day.
Our first warm lunch was served
last Thursday. Many patrons and
people of the community are donating
money, dishes, towels, and other
things that are needed to serve the
warm lunch at noon. We wish to
thank those who have so kindly aided
us in getting together the necessary
equipment. A kitchen is being made
in the lower hail. The floor has been
covered with linoleum and a new oil
stove is to be purchased at once. Miss
Eastman is planning a system that
will make it possible to serve the lunch
and clear everything away during the
noon hour. Visitors will be served at
regular price to children. Come and
visit US and stay for dinner. All
right! Well look for you.
The following are some of the prob
lens discussed in the Grammar room
last week: "How do you account for
the fact that London has grown to be
second among the cities of the world
in size, located on an island, as it
IS! Is there anything in the geogra-
phy of France and Germany that
would lead one to suppose that but
little love could possibly be held by
the French for the Germans? Why
are more sheep raised in South Amer
lea than in North America? (Ques-
tion by Claude Rogers): How do YOU
account for the fact that Paris, To-
Gated many miles inland on the Seine
river, is much larger than Havre at
the mouth of the river, keeping in
mind the fact that Havre has a good
harbor? Water expands when it
freezes; explain this phenomenon in
the face of the fact that ice is more
compact than water. We are attempt
ing to keep the problem before the
children at all times, thus establish
ing a motive for getting the facts of
the text books. A daily schedule of
recitations showing time and the sub
ject of each discussion will be posted
at the store for the convenience of
those who wish to see us at work.
Come up and walk right in; don't
knock; we will be glad to see you.
Tested seed corn will bring a fancy
price next spring. If you wish to
have your seed tested the agricultural
class will gladly test it free of all
charge. Every ear will be tested,
numbered and scored.

THEY'RE REAL GOOD

Washington, Jan. 24.-After being
compelled to dine in the comparative
solitude of their own billets some
where on the battle front in France,
officers of the U. S. Marine corps and
their associates have formed group
messes, where nothing but harmony
and good comradeship prevail.
A Navy chaplain, preacher, bishop,
and Y. M. C. A. secretary are seated
at the table. A correspondent to
Washington headquarters states that,
whatever the provocation, there is
never any swearing at the cook, and
the department of every one is be-
You'd the slightest criticism.

JIMMY. THE ANT-EATER"

Jimmy, the ant-eater," mascot of
the U. S. Marines in France, just
won't eat ants.
He'll eat anything but ants, although
once in while the cook slips it over
on him by camoufaging insects in
scraps of bread. Of course, Jimmy
thinks he is eating raisin bread
but what's the difference?
Jimmy became attached to the Ma
rines at Vera Cruz, more than two
years ago, and since then has led an
adventuresome life. When the sea-
soldiers went overseas he went along.
He greatly puzzles the French poilu
with his choice of foods. He eats all
the scraps-even cigar and cigarette
butts don't go amiss.
In short, he eats anything and ev-
erything but ants.

"Tell the truth and speed up the
up the war" is a good slogan; but log
ically followed, it would eliminate
graft and politics and hasten a re-
turn of normal conditions; and these
are things that some people are not
anxious to have happen.
=
We may not be able to tell all the
truth, because we don't know it all
though we have noticed that some
folks don't tell as much as they do
know-but we can all help to speed
up the war. The government needs
500 this year from every man, woman
and child in the state of Ohio for war
purposes-not as gift, but as loan
at a good rate of interest.-How
about it? Have you bought your
share Of War Savings Stamps yet?
=
A rose would smell as sweet un-
der any other name, and by the same
token incompetence is incompetence
wherever you find it; whether it holds
a government appointment, wears
shoulder straps, or the threadbare
garb of the "down-and-outer." Ever
a president can't make a square peg
fit in a round hole, or a round pes
in a square hole. Trouble is, there il
always a surplus Of FOUNDERS"
The task of conducting and direct
ing this war which confronts the ad
ministration Of President Wilson il
the most stupendous that has eve
confronted any government in the his
tory Of civilization. That some mis-
takes should be made is to be ex
pected, but it does not follow tina
these mistakes should not be pointe,
out when discovered, nor that sucl
mistakes should continue to be made
And, by the way, this is Democrac.
not an Autocracy-Absolutism ha
no place in the U. s. Government.

YOUTH AT A DISADVANTAGE
Younger Men Are Ineffective in OBJ
tanning Credit as Well as in the
Control of Workmen.

Christian Girl, president of the
Standard Parts company of Cleveland,
O.. says in the American Magazine:
"When a man of noticeably youthful
appearance goes to a cautious banker
seeking to finance even the soundest
kind of q proposition, his line of argu-
ment is discounted before he says a
word, by his youthful looks. The
banker is afraid of being carried away
by mere boyish enthusiasm and Is on
his guard. If / were much under thir-

ersed this road before us had fared
worse was evident from the many dead
Germans who lay along the road. Inc

IFS weary limbs on the ground for
brief rest And so it crept along ike
a snail. Only, instead of having
snafl's shell on its back. there was

The monotony Of the march was
broken when we reached the enor
nous camp at Chalons. This Is one
of the largest of the French army
camps. We saw 1Chalons from the dis
lance. AS we halted about an hour
later outside the city in an orchard,
without single exception every man
fell TO the ground exhausted. The field
kitchens were soon brought up. but the
men were too tired to eat. We did eat
later and then wanted to 60 to town TO
purchase some articles, particularly
tobacco. which we missed most. NO
body was allowed to leave camp. We
were told that entering the city was
strictly forbidden. Chalons had paid
a war contribution and therefore no
one was permitted in the city.
We heard the dull sounds of the
cannon in the distance and suspected
that our rest would be brief. ThC
rolling of gunfire continued to grow
stronger. We did not know then that
a fight had begun which was destined
to become fatal to the Germans.
The first days battle of the Marine
had begun!

For gallantry in rescuing from
drowning a lad eight years of age Sec
rotary Daniels has commended Arthur
Otte- Radcliffe, a seaman Of the United
States navy. Alongside of the United
States steamship Wadsworth, on which
the sailor was stationed, lay a tug. A
small boy played about the deck with
no thought Of danger. Suddenly he
fell overheard. Before the warning
came the child had floated seventy-five
yards or more from the tug and ship.
Then Radcliffe came into action. Jump
ing into the water. he swan to the boy
and brought him to safety. Radcliffe
enlisted in the navy in 1915, at Des
Afolnes, Iowa.

"a religious man repeating such silly
sentiments is guilty of sacrilege, IL ne

Everywhere, on the march to SUPP

corpses, unsheltered under blazing

In the evening, after long march,
we reached the town Of Suippes. Here
our captain told us we would find nu-
merous frank-tireurs. We were or
dered to bivouac, instead Of being as
signed quarters, and all going into the
village were obliged to take guns and
cartridges with them. After a brief
rest we entered the village in search OF

reason for their having been shot. The
only answer to our questions was
shrug of the shoulder.
The village itself had not suffered
to any noticeable degree as far as
destruction of buildings was concerned,
but never in the course of the war had

hundreds, searched the houses and took
whatever they liked best. The finest

Eve was mad with Adam. When ne

grunt all of us make when we get
ready, but no one on earth could spell.
Occasionally she would turn from the
window and look that other thing we
call "daggers' at him and then turn
her back on him again, as if she was
through with him forever In TINS

Adam was patient-which shows
what experience will do.
They got up at Seventh street and,
as they stood up in the aisle to walt
their turn to string out, she hooked
her hand into his coat sleeve and re-
marked, with an engaging fippancy
that it didn't seem possible could
come from such silent, grumpy wom-
an:
GAIL right, hon. Consider yourself
forgiven. I've thought up all the
swear words know and chewed every
nail to the quick-besides, was
