pendentS.
The local board acted under
the Interpretation of the law that
the questions of dependents in
each case should be determined
upon its own merits. This in
terpretation is borne out by a
telegram dated January 81,
signed by the provost marshal
general, and received through
the Office of the adiutant general.
T. follows:
"While the effect Of Rule V,
page 36 S. S. r. is to require
Boards to scrutinize marriages
since May lS, 1917, it was never
intended that the rule should
raise presumption that every
marriage since that date was eff
fcctcd with the primary purpose
.Of evading military service. That
rule was intended to authorize
the Boards TO disregard relation

lished "slackcr marriages" as
condition of dependency, but each
case must be carefully examined

rule can be laid down but it may
be stated that q marriage that
carries no equivOcal circum-
stances other than its date is not
to be so disregarded."

Local Schools
Make Record
Keen Competition Between Grades TO Secure Gov
ernmeHt baby Bonds"

The pupils of the st. Maries
schools have made a record dur
ing the month of January, of
which the people of st. Maries
should be justly proud. They
have bought War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps to the
amount of S7O9.6O. This amount
OF money, in other words, has
been invested in the baby bonds
Of the United States Government.
This has been invested by 282
different pupils. 1t was the goal
of the school authorities to sell
during the month $500 worth of
stamps to at least 300 pupils.
The above figures show that the
amount was exceeded by over
$500 and the number of pupils
buying stamps failed by only i8
to reach the desired number.
81 per cent of all pupils enrolled
in the schools have already
bought stamps. 63 per cent in
the Lincoln school have stamps.
There has been no small
amount of competition on the
part of the pupils in the various
grades to surpass those of other
grades. The following figures,
showing the amounts that have
been sold, will show how keen
this competition has been:

gate the power and light situa-
tion and discussing the matter.
The report of the committee

period of more than thirty days

franchise was subject to forfei-
ture and recommended the pass
ing of an ordinance declaring it
forfeited and notifying the COM
pany TO remove their street lights,
etc, giving them a certain period
of time i'm which to remove them.
The clause of Ordinance 73,
which grants the franchise for
furnishing light and power, un-
der which the cancellation of the
franchise is recommended is as
follows:
and shall operate
said plant at all time during the
life of this franchise and furnish
To said Village and the inhabit-
ants thereof, light, power and
heat sufficient for their needs,
and any failure to so iperate said
plant for a period of thirty days
withiut good cause therefor shall
work a forfeiture Of the rights
and privileges granted"

A meeting of the grOcers Of
the city was called Friday eve
ming by c.. j. Kinsolving, county
food administrator, for the pur-
pose of discussing plans to put
into effect the presidential pro-
clamation regarding the con-
sumption of wheat flour. The
matter of conservation of pork
products was also discussed and
the merchants agreed that in
response to request from the
national food administration no
pork products will be sold on

plies to ham, bacon, salt pork,
lard and all other pork products.
Food Administrator Kinsolving

fled that they must observe
porkless Tuesday and Saturday

provision of the food control act
would be rigidly enforced.
f. A. Empey, merchant repre-
sentative of the food administra-
tion for this county, has received
letter from State Food Admin
strator R. F. Bicknell, naming
the provisions of the presidential
proclamation regarding the sale
of substitute cereals with wheat
flour. These regulations must be
obeyed, infractions of them be-
ing punishable by a fine or i'm
lprisonment. The letter follows:
To all County Chairmen and

superintendent Lukens states
that it is his purpose to try to
induce every child in the schools
to buy at least one thrift stamp
as soon as possible. His reasons
are two, first: because the pur-
chase of a savings stamp indi-
Gates that the purchaser is one
of a very large home army whose
purpose is to win the great world
war, and second: because the
possession of a thrift stamp by a
child shows a desire and provides
an inducement for further saving.
In addition to the amount Of
stamps sold to the children of

LEGIONS OF PLANES

Paul Painleve, former French Premier has been
elected president of the aviation group in the
Chamber of Deputies, which comprises some
thing like third of the total membership of the
House. This is good omen for the strong par
liamentary support for bold and extensive pro-
gram of airplane construction, for which the
country is now loudly calling.
Mr. Painleve is no newcomer in aviation. He
was one of Wilbur Wrights first passengers in
1908, and it was with him as a passenger that
Wright set the record which he SO long held for
distance and duration flight with passenger.
In the same year while still Deputy and pro-
lessor of mathematics at the Sorhonne, M. Pain
leve gave two lectures before the Chamber and
the Senate in which he called loudly for the i'm
mediate organization of aviation as applied to
military purposes. In 1872 as reporter of the
Navy Budget, he brought in the first demand
for an appropriation for naval aviation and called
for the development of the hydroairplane as an
arm against the submarine
He was one of the founders of the govern
ment's superior School of Aeronautics, where he
was professor until he entered the Ministry in
1914. This school has been the birthplace of
many of the leading French air specialists of the
present time.
In an article in the Petit Parisen, M. Pain
leve calls for new and drastic development in the
campaign for the greater utilization for the air.

very well to talk about aviation deciding the SUI
preme phase of the war; but, to arrive at that end
the present day conceptions and plans must be
enormously developed.
eve may not be able to crush Germany by
mere artillery power" writes NJ Painleve, sal
though our artillery has nothing to blush for in
comparison with the enerny's but we have de-
veloped aviation to that stage where we can at
least count on binding the enemy's guns. The
superiority of our aviation is undoubted as the
last few weeks have shown, but we must have
legons of airplanes to supply the victories we
have already achieved.

HARDEN's OPINION

Macmillan Harden would appear to be going
about the right way to secure suppression of his
paper, Die Zukunft, again. In the latest number
he pours angry scorn and indignant criticism on
the Rumanian peace in general and on Kuhlmann
the German Foreign minister, in particular. He
draws telling and correct picture of the out
rageous exploitation to which Rumania had to
submit, and calls it childishness to believe the
treaty creates any final state of affairs.
Robbed of her chief port, defeated only by
Russia's falling away till period to be arranged
later, ito suffer, feed, clothe, and pay foreign
army divisions on her soil" having to submit to
acquisitions of corn, oil, cattle, &C., she told the
conqueror graciously that she "renounces COM
pensation for war expense" On this load of OPP
pressive requirements, says Harden, "the new
diplomacy sticks the sentence, the contracting
parties renounce all compensation for war costs,
Rumania too, has to compensate neutrals for
all damages sustained by the war. She herself,
is uncompensated. Harden doubts if Rumania
can breathe under such load, but the peace die
tators do not ask that. The peace-without-an-
nexations-and-indem treaty is genuine and
Won Kuhlmann,' Harden likens it to he carry
ing out of Shylock's bargain.
ct is remarkable and edifying," he goes on,
that our alleged democrats thought that in the
treaty only the preservation of the dynasty was
blameworthy, because that Germanic branch
planted in the East is hostile to Germany 1t will
most likely be so under the ntolerable conditions
of the new treaty. 1t will certainly only be
strengthened by the coarse onslaught from with
out"
Harden rails angrily at chose who, without
bounds, save themselves out of the needs of
others. Brave and strong only is he who sets his
teeth and takes his own burden on his own
shoulders.
