Rural School Notes.

What might be called county SUPER
intendents' loyalty meeting was held in
the form of conference at Des Moines
Thursday and Friday, Feb. % and
March |. Here were discussed by the
St. tie Chairman of the various war SER
vice organizations, State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction, A. M. Deyoe.
and other loyal and patriotic leaders of
the state, such questions of govern.
ment service as the county superin-
tendents are practically drafted to pro-
mote.
There was no question either on the
part of those calling the conference or
on the part of those attending the con-
ference as to whether or not the coun-
ty superintendent had time for this
work; it was unders! God by all present
that no other work is as important as
the liberty of the American people ard
that no other class of people is in 20
sition to reach the public as the educa;
tors of the land, and so it becomes the
work of the county superintendent,
even to the point of neglecting the su-
pervision of the schools or the regular
Office work if necessary, to give their
utmost to the cause of liberty.
The Junior Red Cross, War Savings
Stamps, and Conservation and Produc-
ton Of Food were the subjects empha-
sized. Already many of the counties
are we'll organized along these lines
and are receiving the most loyal and
encouraging support of the public.
Reports from these counties We're re-
ceived and discussed and definite plans
and suggestions given to the counties
that have not yet definitely organized
Every county in the state, every dis
trict in each county, and every individ-
ual in each district must be reached
with the call for service, the service of
every individual, without which the
American people must individually feel
the heel of German militarism.
Howard county, with other counties
of the state will, therefore, hold in as
short time as preparation can be
made, series IF loyalty meetings in
every township and district in the coun-
ty. This is no child's question, no boy
and girl proposition, but the business
of every citizen of America, problem
of equal weight for the deepest thinks
er and for the lightest of heart, and
must be given the attention and inter-
est of every man, woman, or child who
loves the right to live and hold proper
ty, the right to a home and the enjoy
ment of that home. Howard county
must have and will have no slackers;
it must prove itself 100 per cent loyal,
which means that every individual in
the county must and will bear his share
of service and responsibility.
Tina Fessenden,
County Superintendent.

AMBITIOUS YOUNG UNIONIST
ENLISTS; BECOMES AN ENSIGN

PHILADELPHIA, June. 6.-From
stage hand to ensign in the U. s.
Navy reads somewhat like a bit Of
Horatio Alger. 1t is in fact but
sidelight Of what the democracy of
Uncle Sam is doing for the American
lads.
Seven months ago Albert BURY, %,
1871 North Thirty-first street. Phila-
delphia, was working around the To-
cal theaters and in spare times act
ing as moving picture operator. The
thing he was proudest Of was his
membership in the international ALI
ance OF Theatrical Stage Employees
he had no outlook on life save to some
day capture LOB" as road man"
with some New York travelling FRO
duction.
Then came the war spirit into his
soul. Back stage between acts he
scanned the papers anent the afro
cities Of the Huns. His young Amer
lean blood grew hot. He talked it
over with his dad, John ID. BURY,
veteran circus man and active in the
Central Labor Union of the Quaker
City. Dad said go and help your
country if you feel you can be Of serv-
ice" His mother wept and the kids
of the BURY family were proud.
Enlists in Navy.
He enlisted at the League Island
Navy Yard. He was diligent in his
duties. The quiet lad attracted the
attention of his superior officers One
day he did a difficult problem in al
zebra for the sistant-commandant
hsof the yard. In appreciation he was
encouraged to study navigation and
other things essential to advance in

McAdoo In Letter Says Govern.

WASHINGTON, June, 6.-Railroad
employees are renined by Director
General McAdoo that they are en-
ployes of the United States in time of
war and that a strike means a blow
at their own government.
In telegram to heads Of all the
labor unions having shopmen among
their members, McAdoo gave notice
that the government can not be CO.
creed or intimidated and called upon
railroad men to remain at their duty.
His telegram in part follows:
The strike Of certain shopmen, ma
chinlsts. etc. in the railroad shops at
Alexandria, Va. has created a very
painful impression on the public mind.
what they were doing: They are all
employees now Of the United States gov
They are not employees Of

1t is the first time in the history Of
our government that any of its en-.
Ployes have attempted a strike against

country, and for the honor of railroad
men IN the service everywhere, hope
that there will be no repetition of what
in the highest degree.

HUSBAND AT:THE
W0MAN'S
DEBT FoREcLosED
Banker Ordered by Defense Body
to Return Mortgaged
Furniture.

BISMARCK, N. D., June 6.-While
her husband was fighting in Europe,
sylvanne N. Ferris, president OF the
Dakota National bank, Dickinson, N.
D., foreclosed mortgage on Mrs.
Henry Rademacher. Ferris took all
Of her household goods, leaving her
destitute, and then fastened to the
depot, to cheer a departing contingent
of drafted men,,
Called before the State Council of
National Defense, Ferris admitted the
charge made by friends Of Mrs. Rade-
macher.
He said he had overlooked the fact
that Rademacher is fighting in
France. although he remembered the
fact very viyidly when the state coun-
Gil recalled It.; Dickinson, being
small town, the banker said he knew
just about everybody in it intimately.
Ferris, who is president Of a Red
Cross chapter at Dickinson, admitted
when Questioned, that he had gone
to the home OF Mrs. Rademacher, to
personally see that draymen left none
OF her furniture or effects. He said
he asked them to hurry the work, so
that he might get out on the street
with the other prominent citizens of
the village, in cheering the departing
soldiers.
II sat on the front steps Of my
home watching my goods being hauled
down one street while Ferris rushed
over to another street to cheer the
soldiers" Mrs. Rademacher told the
council. "Ferris carried a pretty silk
American flag in his pocket. and
from my front porch could see him
frantically waving this as the soldiers
marched Bly,"
The council Of defense quickly or
dered that Ferris return the house
hold goods. They had legal author
ity for this, in the soldiers and sail
ors' moratorium, passed by the last
special session OF the farmers and la
>borers' legislature OF this state.

the navy. BURY proved an apt STU
dent. He performed we'll many i'm
portant tasks. His future was filled
with promise-he thought he might
some day become petty officer.
Last week he was ordered to make
a formal application for discharge
from the navy. Young BURY almost
collapsed. He protested that he was
guilty Of nothing justifying any such
drastic action. His superiors were
adamant. When the papers were
formally completed he was handed
other papers to fill out-and then a
great light dawned on his mind that
the democracy Of Uncle Sam was
something more than mere words
is Ensign Now.
And today young BURY IS on a
ship belonging to Uncle Sam. He is
in the uniform Of an ensign. He Is
walking the decks just as John Paul
Jones and Farragut and Dewey and
other illustrious American sea war
riors have walked them In the Great
Days of 'yore. ..><
And in his inside pocket is a resolu-
ton voted him by his fellow unionists
in appreciation Of the honor his con-
duct brought to the labor union. Next
to his commission and the love of
father and mother it is the dearest
possession Ensign Albert BURY, ex-
stage hand, possesses.
And so in these trying days of the
worlds agony the democracy of the
American Republic goes sweeping on
in its duty OF reclaiming the good
seeds in the stony ground 40 that the
harvest from the fields Of the ma
TONS manhood might be conserved
for the greatest tasks in all the ages.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Under a
plan approved by Director General
McAdoo, the business of the four big
express companies will be taken over
by the government.
They are the Adams, American,
Wells-Fafgo And Southern.
Three small companies in the north
west are not included. They will have
the option of. pooling their interests
with the new company or Of going
out of business.
The announcement brings complete
control by the government of all rail-
road and affiliated service with excep-
tion Of the Pullman system. The rail-
road administration actually controls
the business Of the Pullman company,
but a definite plan as to future opera
tons has not been reached.
