Wake Up, Ex-Teachers

This is essentially q plea to the
married woman.
You have quit teaching. You are
married and have good home. You
do not have to teach any more. But
the times have changed within the
year. You do not need the money,
but the schools need you.
Many schools in this and other
states will not open next fall because
there are no teachers for them. The
young men have gone to war, and In
too many instances the young woman
teacher Ia drifting into 9th er positions
where the work is less exacting, and
the dollar return, perhaps, Is greater.
She may have forgotten that teach
ers' salaries are going higher, too.
Unless the ex- teacher comes to the
rescue now, the children will be the
losers. Nobody else can fill her place.
AS a patriotic duty 1t Is up to the
married woman teacher to get back
into the harness. She may be rusty,
she may not be quite up to her stand
ard Of five or ten or Is years ago, but
II she was ever any good, she can
brighten up wonderfully by a few
weeks review at Colorado Teachers
College summer school or elsewhere.
If this Is impossible, then by attend
ance at the nearest Teachers District
Institute.
The pubHc school has made this
nation what 1t is today, Must we let
1t go back ward now for lack Of teach
ers? Married women, 1t ia up to you.
Think about it. J. G. Crabbe, Presi-
dent Colorado State Teachers Col

Going to Gas New York

A New York dispatch under date
Of May LIST, says:
High officials of the German army
boasted to me at grand headquarters
that their chemist had discovered a
new and terribly deadly gas with
which they expected to kill q million
people in the city of London. This
gas, to be dropped from bombs car
ried by huge airplanes, each equipped
with six motors, would penetrate into
the deepest cellars and subways, they
said.
'''fhese same high officials boasted
to me that the airplanes Of which they
spoke would be capable of flying to
New York and return. They Dragged,
too, OF fsuper-submarines, which could
easily come here and attack us, and it
WAS plain from the way they talked
that they we're endeavoring to give
me the impression that these air and
underwater machines some day would
come to New York"
DR.. A. n. Davis, long Kaiser Will
helms personal dentist, who recently
returned from Germany, told these
things this evening to an audience
which filled Carnegie hall at Liber-
ty loan rally.
1t was DR.. Davis first speech since
his return.
II said to the kaiser on one occasion
at grand headquarters, You are un-
derestimating the power Of the United
States The kaiser replied: I under
estimate nobody, sir
Since the assassination Of the king Of
Portugal and a close relative some
years ago the kaiser and the German
crown prince have never appeared
together in public, DIR. Davis said,
lest an assassination might deprive
Germany Of boti; at once.
The dentist said he knew that the
kaiser wanted to start this war over
the Moroccan trouble in 1905. and tried
again to work up a war In 1911. So he
gladly seized the Serbian episode Of
1914 as an excuse.
"Germany has no sense Of honor.
The only thing she can understand is
force, and 1t Is up to US to apply to
her all the force we can summon, !"
DR.. Davis continued. '1'll advise the
United States to send all its pro-Ger-
man sympathizers back to Germany,
and in three days, under present con-
ditions, they'd be begging to return
and become patriotic Americans.
"They made one of the gravest mis-
takes In not anal y zing our psy chOlogy.
Some OF them really believed that we
would sieze Mexico and Canada at the
beginning Of the war, instead Of COM
Ing on the side Of the entente. They
do not realize that the more they at
tempt to terrorize and harass US the
harder we will fight them"

ARE YOU DOING YOUR PATRi

Every person in Bookings county
that has a chance to select seed corn,

You know the story of last years
corn failure, and the scarcity of seed.

selection and breeding were lost, and
very poor quality seed was planted,
Are you going to be satisfied with
good enough or are you going to
