LOUCKEs IS ELECTED DIRECTOR
Many Could Not Choose Between the
Two Candidates

The school election is over, much to
everyone's relief, as these school elec-
lions are always strenuous for some
reason in this community. AS re-
suit F. u. Louckes becomes the new
director, he receiving 213 votes, while
Herschel jameson, the other candi-
date, received 116. A great many
would not vote, as it proved hard for
them to decide to their own satisfac-
ton just which way their inclination
did lean, as both candidates are among
the most popular and best liked men
of the community and it certainly was
a hard matter to choose between them.

RATS WISER THAN MEN.

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
of Western gold miners to make pets
of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode vein of
California II has been found that min
ers invaribly feed the rats and take
care of them. believing that the ro-
dents are a source of protection
against accidents. This Is due. the
men say. to the instinct of the rats,
which warns them when tunnel is
unsafe And when the rats leave a
tunnel it is almost impossible to get
the miners to work there. This re-
calls the belief among sailors that
rats will leave a doomed ship. The
miners also have found that rats are
much more susceptible than humans
TO the dangerous gasses that so often
cause loss of life in the mines. Long
before the miners themselves are at
fected by these gases the rats become
sick and show symptoms of distress.
So the men keep close watch on the
rats good health.

FUTURE IN MIND.

The scale of wages has gone so
high. especially in the production of
war material and allied business. that
many working people find themselves
making more money than they dream
ed possible a few years ago. The
standards of living have been thus
raised and luxuries are becoming
necessities This Is the laborer's
day. He is waxing prosperous and
is enjoying his new earning oppor-
tunities too well to think much about
the need of saving. Once n family,
or any person for that matter, raises
the standards of living. 1t is hard to
reduce them when necessary, and. AZ
the tendency is to base the future on
trooper some fine day in the future
for the too-easy spenders. Labor Is
in such demand that many of small
skill and capacity now on emergency
jobs will find themselves greatly re-
duced in pay when normal conditions
return. AS they have adopted habits
too extravagant for them, acute suf-
fering must be their portion. The
unprecedent prosperity this class is
now enjoying is really the worst thing
that could have happened. so far as

There is less tobacco in Europe at
the present time than for a long num-
Der of years. On the other hand
there is large supply of unmanu-
featured tobacco in the United States.
It has been with the greatest difficult
ty that the dealers have secured
shipping facilities to Europe since
1914.
This years crop has been the most
costly ever produced in the Green
River district. The demands upon
the people in the way of subscriptions
to Liberty bonds and various war &C
tivities, with the extra investment
the farmer has been compelled to
make in the production Of the crop,
combine to lead him to believe that
he should receive a good price for
his tobacco.
While there has been some objec-
ton to the early opening of the to-
bacco market on account of the late
ness of the crop, there are hundreds
of farmers who are needing their
money to meet obligations, and it was
these conditions that caused the early
opening.
There are many greensboro to-
bacco men who have not received
orders from their customers, and it
is possible that the opening of the
market can not be taken as an indi-
cation of what the prices will be after
the first of the year. and after transit
ton of the country from a war to a
peace basis.

A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.

In the mountains of Tyrol. ii il the
custom of the women and children to
come out. when it is bed time, and
sing their national song, until they
hear their husbands. fathers or broth
ers answer them on their home. On
the shores of the Adriatic such a'cus-
tom prevails. There the wives of the
fishermen come down about sunset
and sing a melody. After singing the
first stanZa. they listen a while for an
answering strain from off the water,
and continue to sing and listen, till
the well-known voices come born ON
the tide, telling the loved ones are al
most home. How sweet to the weary
fisherman, as the shadows gather
around him, must be the songs of the
loved ones at home. who sing to
cheer him; and how they strengthen
and tighten the bonds that bind these
humble dwellers by the sea, Truly
it is among the lowly of this world
that we find some of the most beauti-
full customs in practice. Selected
