Teachers Salaries Required More

The average attendance for the past
term was $6.446 making the per cap

less than any private school has ever
been able to make it.
These figures are taken from the
quarterly and annual reports Of John

secretary Of the board OF education

TWO MIGHTY SERVICES.

TWO mighty services have been de-
ve,oned beyond all expectation by this
war-the Red Cross and the Y NJ. Z. "A.
var work and its allies in that work. 50
far the Ped Cross has not come so d.
rectly home in its hospital neio
esnecial,y to US OF America because
orr need for our own soldiers has not
been great thru lack Of casualties IN
battle but we have held and and are
holding the Red Cross very close to our
hearts in the knowledge OF what it has
been doing and what it will do for US.
When the American casualties mount
I'D the Red Cross service will come
directly home with the grateful letters
of our own boys. Then we shall feel
the full appreciation of its services.
The other great service has that ad-
vantage. It has come home and into
the family and the neighborhood with
the letters from the boys. They found
the ."Y" building first off in camps They
sought and found comfort and hope anc
help in the ~" hut near the 'front.'
They found the ~ standing at every

of them have known 1t as friend and

1t is a friend, helper and protector.

THE LACK IN FIELD HOSPITALS.

Startling as 1t may seem. 1t Is true
that French surgeons at times were
forced to operate upon wounded SOL
iiers without the use OF anaesthetics
or surgical dressings.
This information was given by Mrs.
Benjamin G. Lathrop, director of the
Paris depot of the American Fund for
French Wounded, in answer to a
question as to whether her organiza-
ton and the Red Cross were not being
overSupplied with hospital materials.
1T is impossible for American wom-
en- to oversupply the Red Cross with
surgical dressings when there are A.
600 military hospitals in France which
need our help and in addition the
civilian relief stations, and the new
American army hospitals
When the Germans invaded France
in 1914 they occupied, and still hold,
the main manufacturing districts Of
the country With most of their fac
tories lost the french had TO turn 10
the United States for hospital sup
plies. The enormous number OF
wounded exceeded their facilities and
it is true that some operations were
performed without anaesthetics or sur
gical dressings.
Rubber goods especially were
scarce. Gloves made of French rubber
split as soon as the surgeons tried
them on Hot water bottles broke at
the first filing. In time we got enough
rubber goods from the United States
to improve the situation, but there is
still acute need for all that possibly
can be sent over there"

THE DUTIES OF A MAN AND A CITIZEN.

After the French revolution state
ment was issued by the government
outlining The Duties Of a Man and a
Citizen" Here are some extracts
from it that are peculiarly applicable
IN America at the present time:
Article I. The support OF society re-
qG!res that its component members
should equally know aand fulfill their
duties
II. All the duties OF the man and
citizen are derived from these two
principles. which are engraved by ma
tu-e III all feeling and just hearts,
namely, first, do not to others what YOU
would not wish that others should do
unto you; secondly. do constantly 10
others the good which YOU wish to re-
ceive.
II The obligations of every person
toward society consist in defending il,
in serving, 10 be obedient 10 the laws,
and to respect those who are the or
gans Of them.
". Nobody is good citizen who is
not a good son. a good father. a good
brother good friend. and good hus-
band.
". Nobody rs a good citizen who is
z candid and q religious observer OF
the laws.
VI He that openly violates the laws
declares himself to be in a state OF war
with society.
VII. He who, without openly violat-
ing the laws eludes them a-tfully or
cunningly. hurts the interest of all; he
renders himself unworthy Of their
benevolence and their esteem.
VIII. II is the respect and support
Of property on which depend the cul-
tivation OF the ground, all productions,
all the means of work. and the whole
Of the social order.
TX. Every citizen owes his services to
the country and for the support Of l!b-
erty, OF equality, and Of property at
any time when he is summoned by the
laws to defend them.
Let those who seek to proiteer by
the war. those who seek TO evade the
draft. those who endeavor to dodge
liberty bonds and war fund subscTip-
lions read the above carefully. 1t may
do them good.

allies from FIVE hundred thousand to
seven hundred fifty thousand bushels of
corn per day, out of the market re-
celpts, which ara estimated at one
million five hundred thousand to two
million bushels per day. This to last
about three weeks.
These committees are undertaking
not TO ship corn to domestic consum-
ers except on permits from the food
administration from these particular
markets.
1t is our desire TO keep the domestic
trade, especially the corn mills in OPP

simple. He was opposed to the war.
He was opposed to the governments
method of handling the business Of the
war. He talked in a derogatory man
ner Of the Red Cross, according to the
evidence of reputable witnesses.
Among other counts in this indictment
was statement to the effect that he
had heard that the American Red Cross
was merely harem for officers. And
another sneering remark that the Red
Cross unit organized in Council Bluffs
was merely affording an occasion for
dissipating jaunt by DR.. Macrae. The
fact that DR.. Macrae was sacrificing a
practice worth s300 per year and
going out to serve his country for a
pittance cut no figure with Boehner. In
this instance Mr.. Boehner assumed the
role of the Levite criticising the Good
Samaritan. DR.. Macrae needs no de-
Tense in this connection. His work and
sacrifice speak for themselves. He is
one OF the most loved men IN western
Iowa and he deserves it all.
Because of his talk about the Red
Cross, his discouragement of enlist
ments. his refusal to work with his fell
low citizens on war service commit
tees and his refusal to buy liberty
bonds, give to the Red Cross or Y. NJ.

the esteem Of his community which nc
thought and apparently still thinks, he
holds. And because Of these things he
was asked some weeks ago to appear
before war service council IN Glen

able witnesses came in, most OF them
voluntarily and gave testimony In

A SLACKER'S EXPLANATION
Council Bluffs Nonparil.]

l. w, Boehner, of Malvern has a
letter in our Voice of the People
column today in which he seeks to ex-
plain away the indictment returned
against him by tn federal grand jury
in session in Council Bluffs last week.
Lest some wrong inference be deduced
from his version of the case 1t is pro-
per that light from another angle be
shed on the case. In passing 1t should
be noted that in time this case will be
adjudicated in federal court and not in
the newspapers.
Mr.. Boehner covers number or
points in his letter For the purpose
Of clarity let us restate them: G) In
the first paragraph he sets forth in
some detail his position in his COM
munity, which, under normal condi-
tons would be enviable and praise
worthy. CD Sets forth what are doubt
less correct statements as TO his Amer
lean nativity. CD Is denial OF state
ments derogatory TO the Red Cross and
to other agencies working with the
government. "a Opposed the war be-
fore It started. 90 Have disagreed with
people as to method of caring for SOL
diers-opposed doing this work by or
ganized charity-the Red Cross and
Y. NJ. C. A. 60 But inasmuch as the
government has decreed otherwise

Mr.. Boehner tangles himself in
web OF his own weaving. How could
man Of his intelligence, accepting his
own statement OF accomplishments,
fail to appreciate the significance of
Hun ravishment OF Belgium. Of the
ruthless murder Of women and chill
dren. of the abrogation OF every right
OF American citizens on the seas, OF
the sanctity Of treaties and the man
dates of international law? And he
looks upon America as a Christ among
nations" Can man call himself chris
tan when with the blood OF millions
Belgian people reddening the soil Of
Europe OSleHSc Cl <AuicIiCd <a<c Aii0NA
as themselves he opposes going TO their
relief? Not since the Savior Of man
carried His cross to Calvary has the
world witnessed more sublime or
a more christian act than that Of Amer
lea going into this world war to make
the sermon on the mount reality
among the people of the earth. And Mr..
Boehner tells Us that he pulled back
with all his might to prevent his coun
try playing a Good Samaritan in order
that Germany might complete the kali
ser's dream Of conquest by the sword.
And he boasts Of his American English
ancestry, of his wealth and Of his faith
in the Christlike mission Of his coun-
try! And he would have America play
the role of the priest and the Levite
to PROSTATE Belgium rather than that
of the Good Samaritan.
The facts in Mr.. Boehners case are
