Cleveland, son of former President
Cleveland, again has started the
movement against the upper class
clubs at Princeton which he headed
last spring, when about 100 sopho-

Anticlub propaganda has been cir
culating among the sophomores for
several weeks and Cleveland gave the
first open manifestation yesterday,
when an undergraduate publication
appeared with an article written by
him, in which he attacked the present
social system.
He charges that the clubs impose
limitations that confine social develop

TAXPAYERS HAVE
RIGHTS AND DUTY
Wormleysburg Director Ably
Presents Matter at Cum
berland County Meeting

Wormleysburg, Pa, Feb 26.--ln
an address at the annual convention
of the Cumberland County Directors
Association, at Carlisle, Edward f.
Baum, a local school director, eX-
planned in detail the rights and OBJ
legations of taxpayers. Mr.. Baum,
in part, said:
We must attack a popular fallacy
generally established, and we must
destroy the false gods of a lot of tin
hcorn pliticians, who shed crocodile
tears over the wrongs of the tan
payers, who tell them that they are
being imposed on-that they are be-
ing robbed. Who tell them that it is
the taxpayers money tina. pays for
the schools--the highways, etc, the
salaries of this man and that man
and eXhort them to arise in their
might and assert their rights as tax
payers.
ITO q degree this sounds reason
able. 1t seems logical il a man pays
for something he should have some
or proprietary voice in the
thing he pays for. That's business.
However, let us analyze such pro-
position. If we are to make tax
paying commercial issue, let ms
consider it along established COM
mercial lines.
ITO recognize the justice of such a
proposition would be to indorse the
very thing half the world is fighting
TO destroy: The political system that
prevails in the most despised govern
ment on carth-G ermany.
The deductions l make after a
hurried study of the subjects is that
the taxpayer has no rights merely
because he pays taxes, but as a citi-
zen, he enjoys more rights, more
privileges, more power and more in
huence than is or has been enjoyed
by a citizen of any other country
that exists or has existed in the his
tory of the world.
Just now all the nations are
strong on propaganda. our govern
ment has started prop9gandas on pa
triotism, on thrift on food conserva-
ton and so on. 1t occurs to me
that the school directors ought to
start one on civic enlightenment.
SHOW the people what they are
getting, not only in the way of moral
and political blessings, but dollar for
dollar and we'll have a different
spirit in every community and you
will have to cooperate instead OF
reluctance"

steps taken to aid in the fight of Influenza
which has appeared in epidemic form in different
parts Of the nation, and more particularly for
community should it develope here. Below
are few suggestions:
Influenza never spreads more rapidly than
methods of transportation
The disease is highly communicable.
The sources of infection are undoubtedly the
secretions from the Nose, Throat Lungs of cases
carriers and the transmission is by direct in
direct conveyance of those secretions by dropet in
lection or by of towels handkerchief, eating
utensils, etc.
Do not cough or sneeze except behind hand
kerchief.
Do not spit except in appropriate containers
obey the splitting ordinance
Keep away from sick persons especially those
who cough
If i'll and influenza is suspected call Physician
once stay in bed, this is important it will help to
keep away dangerous complications and at the same
time prevent scattering the disease.
Ali discharges should be collected on bits of
gauze or rags and burned.
Keep the body well clothed
Beware Of the person who coughs sneezes
without covering mouth and nose.

Suspension Of Motor
Racing Requested

A request that all automobile,
motorcycle and motorboat racing
and speed contests be suspended for
the period of the war was made
by the United Fuel Administrator.
The request comes as result of
the growing need for the conserva-
ton Of gasoline and because of the
demand for skilled automobile driv-
ers and mechanics for war service.
A strict compliance of the request is
earnestly desired.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton is cooperating in the movement
and has assured the Fuel Admins
tration that it is prepared to observe
the request. Chairman Richard
Kennerdell, of the Associations Con-
test Board, reports that he has
practically suspended operations and
will issue no more sanctions for race
meets or speed contests.
Sanctions have been previously
given, however, for races to be held
at Trenton N. j., Danbury, Conn,
Tucson and Phoenix, Ariz., and at
Los Angeles, CAL, within the next
two months, but it is expected that
the promoters of these contests will
call the events off in order to comply
with the wishes of the Fuel Admin
istration.
Besides the saving Of gasoline the
cessation of race meets will serve to
supply expert operators and mechan-
les for service in the Army Trans
port and Aeronautic branches Of the
Army.
Yours very truly,
w. N. Fitzgerald,
Federal Fuel Administrator for
Wisconsin.

Gassed, No!

Not if you help give him the best
mask.
The appeal for the conservation of
fruit pits and nut shells is possibly
one of the most important that has
been presented since our country en-
tered the war. Every soldier, every
nurse, every Red Cross worker, every
Y. M. G.. A. and Knights of Colum-
bus field secretary and the represent.
alive of every other organization in
France must be equipped with a
good mask before entering the field.
The horror of gas warfare must be
combatted. Remember what is want
ed: pits of peaches, apricots, prunes,
plums, olives and dates. shells of
butter-nuts, Brazil nuts, Walnuts and
hickory-nuts. Two hundred peach
pits or seven pounds of nut shells
will produce enough carbon for one
gas mask. Will You Do Your Share
To Give At Least One Man The Best
Gas Mask?
