We do not want to be accused
Of not favoring our public schools,
when in fact there are few people
who are more willing to pay
school tax than the country news
papers and the writer is one OF
them, and strictly endorses tax
ing to the limit for school pur-
poses, but there are circumstances
and conditions that enter into the
question as to how to raise the
necessary school money.
We read an article in last
week s issue of the Punta Gorda
Herald, written by L. s. Light,
that conveys our idea and in sum
and substance is: That the assess
ment Of property in the last eight
wears, has increased 100 per cent,
while the school indebtedness in
creased 800 per cent, and the
taxes derived from this great in
creased valuation should cover
the increased school demands il
iudiciously handled; that 81, OO0,-
900 has been lost in that same
time by failure.to collect all poll
taxes; that millions OF property
is now assessed at rs per cent
less than proper value and other
millions not assessed at all, ano
that il this was done we would
have. $1,000 100000 from which
we would have more than what is
asked for school purposes. Thai
we have enough wealth If proper
|ly taxed, to give more than enough
| for school and all other purposes
and not put an additional tax or

proper amounts.Live Oak Dem

sales. Retailers whose business ag-
gregates less than 100000 r not

B. A. Robertson who operates gen.

to Bozeman last week at the request

According to Professor Atkinson,
Robertson has been selling certain
commodities in quantities so large
that the food administrator was dis
posed to frown. Upon questioning,
the merchant explained that most of
his business was retail, but that he
did a certain amount Of jobbing. He
did not have a jobber's license and
therefore, was classed as a retailer,
and as a retailer, many Of his sales
were too large.

HIGH SCHOOL LYCEUM

Crowded out last week..

Crowded out last week..
On Friday evening the Theresa
Sheehan Concert company gave the
last number on the High school ly-
ceum course, which proved to be one
of the best concerts Of the course,
and was greeted with a capacity
house.
Miss Theresa Sheehan, who is lead
err Of the company, is a reader of un-
usual ability, and her numbers were
of high order. Among others which
were especially appreciated by the
audience were "The Last Hymn" or
the story of the Titanic, with musical
accompaniment, "The Coming Out of
Miss Cummings" and DANDY" a
pathetic little Irish story, given in the
richest Irish brogue. Among her en-
core numbers SLOW the Froggies Go
to Bed" was perhaps the most popu-
lar, and was very cleverly done. Miss
Sheehan also gave a few stirring pat
riotic remarks, prior to the reading of
a poem by Robert w. Service, which
was roundly applauded.
Miss Pauline Kegg also a member
of the company sang several selec-
tions, which were beautifully rem
dered. Her higher tones being espe-
cially good.
The third member of the company,
was Miss Vivian Des Jardins, a violin
list of considerable skill, and her Sc
l~ections added greatly to the even
ing's program.
Much credit is due Professor D. S.
Williams for his untiring efforts in
helping to make these concerts a sue
cess, and it is largely due to his la
bors that they are becoming more and
more popular each year. The large
attendance speaks eloquently of the
appreciation of the patrons, and it is
to be hoped that the next course will
yield as gratifying results, as they
have this year.
The sum of $5O.75 was realized owe,
and above expenses.

INFORMATION REGARDING
HISTORY OF RED CROSS
N. ALL u X.>.
(By Alfred E. Koenig).

It is absolutely necessary that we
should have a clear conception of
what we must understand by the Red
Cross, since some of us seem of the
opinion that the Red Cross is a re-
ligions organization, the chief duty of
which consists in alternating people
from their belief and converting them
to this new belief. This mistaken idea
can perhaps best be corrected by a
brief history of the Red Cross.
In the year 1868, a Swiss by the
name of Henri Duant wrote a tract in
which he described the h~eart-rending
conditions to which, during the war,
the many wounded and fallen of the
waring nations are subjected. So con-
vincingly did this man describe this,
that the impression which this tract
made upon the regents and powers
of Europe caused them to send dele.
gates to a conference at Geneva, in
Switzerland, in order to consider how
in times of war the wounded and
sick can best be taken care of. This
was in the year of Oct. 1868. In the
following year an agreement was
reached, signed by fourteen nations,
known in history as the Geneva con-
ference or the Red Cross conference
agreement. These fourteen nations
decided that each separate nation, or
government should grant its support
and protection to such societies, which
in times of war desire to give aid ia
the wounded and sick. All beligerents
should treat as neutral, ambulances
hospitals, physicians, nurses, and al
other persons in the service Of such
societies. A Red Cross upon a white
field should be the universal ensign
of those who were engaged in suct
service. It seems almost unbeliev'
able that this simple christian idea il
scarcely over half . century old.
The American Red Cross.
Is of the later origin. The Uni

AVOID WASTE OF PRODUCE.

Produce dealers are urged to exer-
else special care to see that food
stuffs r not allowed to become fro
zen or in any way reduced in food
value. During the winter months cars
of potatoes and other foods some
times stand on side tracks and be-
come frozen. This loss should be
avoided. It is needed for the food for
human consumption and food admin
istration bill provides severe penalties
for permitting such loss. In the bill
this is mentioned as permitting pre-
ventable waste and dealers convicted
of this are liable to severe penalties.
Do not let food freeze as the world
needs it. e.
