SCHOOL TEACHERS.

a school teacher is person who
teaches things to people when they
are young. However. it would be I'M
lair to accuse her Of teaching them
what they know when they grow up.
She only teaches them what they
have forgotten by that time.
The teacher comes to school at
$3.50 o'clock and when she has gotten
enough children for a mess in her
room, she teaches them reading.

a GREAT RACE.

human history. the race between
the United States and GERMANY

America trying to get into il before
IT Is too late. Those dreadful words
too late" we have heard altogether,
too often in this war, but they must
never apply to the food supply OF

Before each American stands tho
personal responsibility of doing his
part three times day to see that
we meet the imperative food needs
or the armies and people abroad.
Food is the weapon with which
America can maintain q position in
the war long enough finally to win
1t. Food is not saved to save money.
but to save the lives that will win
the war. We are not spending money
today to get that Liberty, Freedom
and Justice we demand. We are

STILL THINKS OF HIS OLD
HOME.

Council Bluff, Iowa
Dear Clinch Valley News:
! will drop you few lines from
this far away country
We are having war preparations
to II finish. The war carnival is going
on in Council Bluff now. The crowds
are wonderful. The city was as light
as day. Last night was Omaha night,
the park was so full they could not
have any comfort.
The young men of this place are
nearly all gone to the war There
were five hundred left this city for
the south in July. There was Il won
dcrful crowd gathered to see them
off. They gathered around the train
till it could not move for some time.
1t was sad to see the mothers. wives,
children cling to the boys when the
train pulled out. The crowd was
estimated ut twenty thousand. The
people came on the trains and street
cars, and the autos were perfect
jam. 1t was wonderful to behold.
| This war is something ! never eX-
pcctcd to see, when the Civil War
was over | thought that was the last
in my time, but have to hear the
martial music once more. It brings
me back in mind to farewell in 1861
| often think of the dear boys that
/ were there then, but have gone to
that place where war can never come.
! hope they rest in peace and reign
, with Christ for cvermorc.
often think of the mountains.
valleys, and rivers of Southwestern
Virginia, and the good people that
lived there when left forty eight
years ago last spring. suppose
there are Il few of them left. | hope
we will meet in that better world.
Seems that the majority Of people
never think Of II life beyond this
world, all the pleasure they want is
plenty of money, theatcrs, picture
shows, JOY rides, lake side parties
and dancies, ball games and many
other things that ought not to be.
Very few people attend church on
the Sabbath day.

Bob is gone!
Gone TO join that vast army of
true Americans who will make this
world safe for innocent women and
children.
If Bob upholds the fighting

from France with highest honors-
and he will.
Robert Graham's father. Judge S

which the superintendent thinks may
give her some information which
may be useful in her school work
some day. A great many lecturers
roam the country preying on school
teachers and some of them are very
cruel, talking to them so long that
the poor things have to sit up until
morning when they get home to get
their daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range
from $40 a month up--but not far
enough up to make them dizzy. On
her salary the teacher must dress
nicely, buy herself things for her
work which the city is too poor to
get, go to 20 lectures and concerts
Il year, buy helpful books on ped
agogy, pay her way to district,
county and state institutes, and en-
joy herself during Il three months
vacation which her salary takes
every year In addition, the teacher
is supposed to hoard away vast sums
of money SO that when she becomes
too nervous and cross to teach, at
the age of so or whereabouts, she
can retire and live happily ever
after on her income.
There is a popular superstition to
the effect that the great financicrs

FREE TUITION FOR MILITARY
PUPILS.

Charlottesville, Va, August 81
More men will enter college this year
than ever before. Previously the per
cent of high school graduates has
been 10; now it will probably be, in
some ca SEES, as high rs sixty. The
reason is that the War Department
has made arrangements with the
colleges for the training of men in
the draft age. Boys who come to
college will be paid $50 month by
the government, and thir housing,
subsistence, and tuition charges will
be met. The time the stay in col
lege will be determined by the War
Department, but matriculation will
mean that they will have fer better
chances for commissions than if thew
were drafted into the army and sent
to camps. In other words, boys over
is will be in the army and if they
desire they can spend the initial
period getting a college education at
the governments expense. Conse-
quently it is expected that all bows
who can meet the entrance require
ments will go to college and enter
the army IHaC way.
The University of Virginia was in
the Iirst group of colleges, in which
the War Department established
units OF the students Army Train
ing Corps and has received full
statement from the Committee on
Education and Special Training as
toi the regulations and conditions
governing the Corps. The salient
features of this pan are:

ILLITERACY COMPULSORY
