High School Notes

Mrs. o. A. Potter visited us
and brought with her Miss Lucy
HinchcIiffe, a field secretary of
the Red Cross. Miss Hinchcliffe
gave a very interesting and help
ful talk to the students about
Junior Red Cross work, and
especially stressed the way we can
do our bit by saving nuts, nut
shells, and fruit pits from which
carbon is made for the gas masks.
The pupils are showing their will
ingness to do their bit by making
quite a collection of nut-sh and
pits.
Mrs. Neva Griffith enlarged our
library before she moved away
from Laclede by donating an
illustrated volume of Shakespeare 5
works, complete set of Dickens
works, and several other valuable
books of history and geography.
This gift is much appreciated and
will help to make our library more
efficient.
The boys basket ball team played
the first match game of the season
with Forker last Friday afternoon.
The boys made a better showing
than the score would indicate and
in the future we hope to even
things up somewhat.

Ruth Doak were high schools

Soldier Boy Writes Home

Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Weaver
have received several letters from
their son, Bert, since he arrived
overseas. The first letter was
dated somewhere in England,
August 20, in which he said:
Arrived safely and had a
wonderful trip; saw great sights
and am feeling fine. Everything
looks so strange to us here. The
trains, the houses and everything
are so much different from what
they are at home. The houses are
real close to the railroad so one on
the train can see nearly all of the
town. We are having a big time
with plenty to eat, so don't worry
about me. l did not get seaSick
at all coming over but many of
the boys did. Write to me real
often"
The next letter was dated
September 2. He was still in
England but the letter was so
severely censored but little could
be gotten out of it. He was well
and enjoying the fine weather.
Had rested and cleaned up from
the ocean voyage and was enjoy
ing the wonderful scenery.
The next letter from Bert was
dated September 30, in which be
said: We'll, we have moved and
are now in Sunny France, seeing
the many sights of the country.
Orville Sweems of Laclede and
Carl Garrett Cf Brookfeld and l
are together yet and have some
good times. There is not much
news l can tell you. Have received
your letter dated August 10,
addressed me at Camp Mills.

There will be no more picture

of spreading influenza is past.
While there has been only a few
mild cases here and no severe ones

BUDDING | SHIP IN 2T DAYS

A great deal of comment has a risen with the announcement that a $500 ton ship was built in 27 days at the New York Shipbuilding plant at Camden. The comment is deserved. Such feats, which are be ing closely approximated in the sripyards Of the Northwest, will tend to awaken the German people to the actual work being done in the United States towards winning the war. We know Germany has found occasion already to change her views on the American army and We suspect she may change her ideas of American industrial efficiency, too. The Tuckahoe is the name of the ship that was turned out in 27 working days and in 15 days from her launching she is due to set sail The name should live.

WHERE INFORMATION LEAKS

The American people are natural so frank and open hearted that il uas been very difficult for Us to rr4,ize the danger from spies
 Formerly any one could visit any ot our forts or arsenaIs. The Ger mans have, no doubt, complete plans Of all our defenses and of all var material plants.
 As regards the leaking of inSor- nation about war plans, movement o. troops, etc, there are abundant channels of infOrmatior. One of ,ae most important is at Washing ton. Diplomats have always ralIed taae city tRe most loose rongued capital in the world. We'll guarded state secrets have always had a way ot leaking out with a speed that astouished the heads O departments
 According to tradition, many of the spies who get the secret stuff are women. They are pictured as be ing of a fast. adventures type, who fasciaate men in a position to know things, and drag Information from the secret recesses Of their minds.
 Probably very little leaks out in that way. A good deal is said to come from innocent young women who hear their husbands and fathers tell important things and repeat them untbinkingly to peo- pie who are listening for purpose.
 Some information is said to leak out at dinners where public men gather. All is sedate until cham uagne flows. T hen some of our wis men begin to let out their most Sc cret thoughts 10 plausible people whom they have just met.
 That kind of thing is not con fined to Washington We have many thousands Of men who know the things the spies want to find out. They should be careful about .ugratlating strangers. Also they SuOuld look out with whom they so out to dinner and what refresh ments are served. It is quite a safe proposition for them to go to bed at g D. m.-EX.

PORTLAND WOMAN FIAYS
 SISTERS U. S. AS LOAFERs

Chicago.-Germany, baked in its effort to conquer the manhood of France, is attempting to subjugate the women of the republic through motherhood, while the women of the United States, unheeding the call Of their French sisters, are "loaters going about in high-heeled shoes, wanting to be entertained by the story Of the war" pr. Esther Lovejoy declared in an address here Monday. Doctor LOVejOy, form CT health commissioner of Portland, Ore, was speaking before the Medi- cal Women's National association, meeting here simultaneously with the American Medical association.
 Speaking of the "Esthers of France" Doctor Loveioy who re- gently returned from a six months sojourn in the war zone, declared that 35O,OOO girls over 16 and boys over 14 had been detained by the Germans in the captured French provinces.
 Fight, Work or Breel
 Three rules govern the Germans in the retention of the French civil populations" the speaker said, Those retained must be of value for fighting, labor or breeding.
 'It is up to the women of A merica to stop this Hun invasion, We will have no lOafers among men or women either. While the wOm- en of France and England are stag gering along under the awful load imposed by the war, the women of America are loafers, going about in high heeled shoes, wanting to be entertained by the story of the con flict.
 If the women of Germany had laid down their arms and ceased doing the work of men the war would have been over long since.
 If the women of America would wear winter clothing in winter and not sit about in clothing fit only for hot dog days while they burn tons of coal to keep them warm -- wasting coal to preserve the dictates of fashion-heatless Mondays would be unnecessary.
 Chance for Tennis Players.
 The pig thing in the United States is for the women to replace the men in civil occupations in or der that our full man power may be sent to the aid of the allies. There is a crying need in the south, for instance, for harvest hands. That IS a splendid opportunity for women golfers and tennis players.
 We have only to be as good as our grandmOthers, who made this great land for us to loaf in." ;.
