LOOKING FAD.

In the minds Of the citizens Of a de-
mocracy the idea that service is due
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
f~ranchised cease to be representative
Of such a government.
The selective draft answers the pur-
pose of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged in, but largely be-
cause Of the fact that we have time to
D while our allies combat the
enemy. We must look to the future
and the possibilities Of a war declared
upon us when we will have no ally.
Should this occur selective conscrip-
ton would be Of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen Of a democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is 1t not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
cy and able to act Immediately as a
perfect machine when the necessity
arises? Few citizens but believe that
universal military training is absolute
ly necessary to the future safety of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first opportune moment.
The speeding up of our plans to win
this war should In no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be held in check that they may not in
terfere with the winning Of this war.
But when our legislators feel mat the
speeding up of the war Is accomplish
ed a bill should be passed creating a
system of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our country's defense In the fu-
ture, thereby assuring us against the
disaster of an attack which would find
us unprepared and completely at the
mercy Of an organized foe. ..-..--~

Hun for a fey Of the evils he has
inflicted upon the peoples Of the
world, but for his responsibility
in forcing conditions SO as to make
it necessary to take our boys and
girls away from their school work
we can never forgive him. The
loss of life, terrible as that is, is
nothing compared with the lower
ing of the standards of living, and
that is just what is happening to
our boys and girls.

"LET US HAVE A

A monster Is slowly raising its head
throughout this country which, unless
beaten down Immediately, will become
the most dangerous enemy that the
cause of civilization has yet been
called upon to face. This evil that
threatens is to be found In the desire
for peace at whatever cost. 1t is the
old peace at any price, canker raised
to the Nth power.
It Is easy to dispose Of this, as yet
furtive but steadily increasing, desire
for peace by pinning to 1t the label of
German propaganda. But this will not
suffice.
That the world is war weary is only
too true. France and England have
had this blood sickness on the part of
their people to contend with for a long
time. Its effect on Russia has been
demonstrated.
We, In America, have but COM
menced our share Of suffering and sac
rifce. If this revulsion of feeling Is
allowed to spread before the road is
half travelled there can be no doubt as
to our destination. Open hostility to
England, frank sympathy with Ger
many, conscientious" or other objec-
tions to war, are as nothing In their
effect upon our part in the struggle
and the destiny of the world-which
now admittedly rests upon our shout
ders-compared to this desire for the
wars ending simply that peace may
reign. Peace today, with Germany I'M
defeated, would be a living to
America as a nation and to every man,
woman and child who wish to continue
10 be known as Americans.

we are affiliated.
We have just held a great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where a large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
to do such valuable work In France.
Every person in 1t, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, r women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service.
Other branches Of our war service
have been an intensive food conserva-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In all this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought Of our W chairman,
Mrs. Norman der. Whitehouse, abroad
m an important government mission
and many others of the rank and file
Of our women who are engaged in de.
voted service "over there"
Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch Of our
work is the great university extension
Of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tional Committee.
Another line of work is that of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists Of
Gcials Of all political parties and all
men in every township and county in
the state who have run or are to run
for office. 1t Is believed this commit.
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and Its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has
issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and Is organizing In
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that a great part Of a ma
TONS war time eficieicy Is In keeping
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
In its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for 1t.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps Is of particular in
terest In this publication which is be-
ing SEM out by the National Security
League. Very few people In the coun-
try have stopped to realize how In our
body polite the rural committees are
disseminated against In the matter of
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements, their munich
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public Libraries and lee
ture courses and ~innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men,
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some Of these advantages should be
brought to the country districts.
Any rural woman who wants to be
nut In touch with legislative bull
letin, with our correspondence courses
in civic education or. any information
I'm reference to the work of the WO-
man Suffrage party should write TO

Initial step to Independence.

The fact that well-to-do people are
almost invariably "close" and Saving"
and usually have that reputation,
should be a mighty good pointer for
those who are always hard up. 1t
isn't luck, 1t isn't robbery that starts
young people on the>road to independ-
ence. 1t is common sense and moral
courage to deny themselves that does
the business.

Very Good Reason.

Another reason why a man would
rather be a man and have men friends
than be a woman and have woman
friends is because he knowns that none
of his friends is going to borrow his
hair to 60 to the theater or a party.

The school year closed last Fri

cu I'LL OuVuooi piSbiS III "
Kudrna's grove last Thursday
afternoon. A pleasant time is re-
ported by all.
The school library has been en-
riched by the receipt of a booklet
containing Forty Poems of the
Great War" This booklet is the
gift of Anna Dvorak, a former
student of the High School.
The writer and Mrs. Fites are
busily engaged in getting the
work of the school closed up pre-.
paratory to moving to Springfield,
where both begin work at once.
The High School and the Gram
mar room planned a great day for
the closing day of school. They
forgot to take the weatherman in
to the scheme, however, and he
decided to give the farmersof this
community a much needed rain on
Thursday evening. Result, was
that the picnic vas arranged with
in walking distance of the school
house. There we're plenty of eats,
in fact, so many that it was decid-
ed to stay out in the fields until
after supper time.
The following pupils have
scored a perfect attendance for the
year: Ben. Black, Helen Cacek,
Helen Dvorak. Agnes Herman,
Joseph Herman, Helen Black
and Adolph Zdenek. That is a
record to feel proud of, and the
best wishes of teachers and pupils
90 out to the boys and girls who
have been so diligent in their at
tendance throughout the year.
The attendance would have been
even better had the school not
been invaded by a c%ontagion bear
ing a German name.
In closing the years work, we
must not forget to mention the in
terest the pupils have shown in
the Junior Red Cross work, the
Y.M,C.A., the W.S.S., and es-
pecialIy would we commend them
for the interest they have shown
in identifying their school
grounds this spring, when they
secured and planted forty trees and
a great number of Towering
shrubbery.
In the sale of Thrift Stamps,
our pupils reported having bought
stamps to the amount of $1,000. so
This amount is divided among the
pupils of the various rooms as
follows:
Primary 594.75
intermediate 1880
Grammar 1114.25
High School 111.00
So far as we are able to learn, eve
ry child in school is the possessor
of a War Savings Stamp of some
amount all the way from $500 to
800. 90, We are glad of this, not
SO much because of the amounts
taken, but rather becaufe of the
lesson in patriotism which this ac-
ton gives to the children.
The seventh and eighth grade
pnpils are spending an hour each
evening at the school house this
week and keeping themselves re
freshed in memory for the inal
examinations which occur May 81,
and June 1. Our best wishes go
out to these pupils for their sue
cess.
The enrolment for the year by
rooms follows: Primary room,
10; intermediate, 30; Grammar
room. u; High School s., making
n total of "a for the year. This
number, however, does not mean
that there were that many pupils
in school at all times. During
The opening weeks of school last
fall, a great number were obliged
to stay on account of farm work.
