Willard Thomas was home Sat
urday, and says that he mas four
weeks more of school.
Saturday will be gald day for
the schools as will be in line in
the celebration of the day.
The pupils and teachers Of the
high school sent a post card show
er to Mabel Sullivan Thursday.
it being her seventeenth birth
day anniversary. They also sent
her a boquet of beautiful flowers
to remind her that they still think
of her as one of them.
The grades are working hard
to prepare the essays required by
Mrs. Weir on the subject. why
are we at war;. They are due
April sixth. Miss Nickerson. Mr.
Sheppard, principal. of Kit Car
son. and Mr.. Sadler have been
asked to Judge the essays from
the whole county.
Many teachers have signified
their intention of entering the
spelling contests. They will be
held Saturday. April 10th. at the
high school building. Prizes will
be given as follows: So for first
and 81 for the second. these 10
be given in each CT the four
grades, fifth. sixth, seventh and
eighth. A basket dinner will be
served and a program given.
The District school board met
at the school building Tuesday
and hired teachers for the gram
mar department. the intermedi-
ate and primary departments.
All of the teachers in the build
ing were reelected as was also
Mr.. Slotterbach for Janitor, Miss
Trumbor for the Primary and
Mrs. Baber for the intermediate
Mr.. Slotterbach has been elected
the fourth time. In each time it
was in return for merited service
Mr.. Slotterbach is not only a
good janitor but he attends strit-
ly to his duties and does not talk
about the school on the street.
That for three years there hasn't
been one bit of dissension in this
school between teachers or with
the janitor shows the spirit of
harmony existing. When ever
there is any misundel S sanding it
is The practice of each one to
come to the office and everything
is soon Strengthened out. To
show how this has worked out
it is necessary only to speak of
the length of time that seveaal
teachers have served. Miss Nick
erson is elected for her eighth
time, Mr.. Akerly for the sixth
MIR. Saoler for the fourth and
Miss Shy for the second. This
seems a very creditable record
for country school where it is
customary to change teachers
frequently. This long service
gives stability and permance to
the school and insures success.
The board also elected Edna
Mas"n. class of II. to teach in the
Parker district and Ethel Shy.
class of 18 to teach in the Shy
district. These with the three c
C. H. S. graduates in the this
school makes five teachers in
this district, graduates from this
school. Does the school stand
for something? Each can answer
that for himself.

I do not mean that there is any
disposition to underestimate the
nature of the task that Fate has

The President and his advisers
have never held to the theory
that the capture of Berlin would

would involve vast sacrifices and
much grim work. But they in

AUSTRIA WANTED TO. QUIT.
A queer story comes to WASH
inRton from Russia. A promi1
nent newspaper correspondent
states that last October the Aus
train government approached the
Russian government with . view
to making = seperate peace with
the Entente Powers.
Kerensky was then in power
in Russia and he is said to have
communicated the proposal to the
English ambassador. Before de-
finite action could be taken ker-
ensky was overthrown and the
Bolsheviki took the re;ns, with
results that are now a part of
history.
The story may or may not be
true. Well informed men in
Washington believe it say Presi-
dent Wilson realized that Austria
was wavering and did what he
cou'd to separate her from Ger
many, appreciatipg that such a
move would end the war. These
plans were spoiled when the ltal-
ians fell back and Russia went to
pieces.

WHY?

In two days the House passed
the War Finance" bill which
authorizes the Secretary Of the
Treasury and four other gentle
men to be selected by the Plesi-
dent to extend two billions and
one half of the peoples money in
financing public utility corpora
tions Banks. manufacturing con
Germs. etc. There was PRACTICAL
ly no opposition. The leaders
said the measure was needed to
win the war and every one got in
back of it and pushed it through.
Then come a little bill approp-
rating $l0,00O,00O to stimulate
the production of wheat and 9TH
er grains, by providing farmers
with seed, mobilizing labor 81.
and for three days members
fought ike wild men to prevent
it's passage. Why? We cannot
win this war with munitions alone
Wheat is as vital to victory as
artillery.
Then why is it all right to fl.
nance a mutations manufacturer

MANY FACES MISSING
FROM THE OLD TOWN;
SOME MAY NOT RETURN
The Folks at Home viii Remember
Them When Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaigns Opens Sept. %.

Have you noticed that the old
town isn't altogether what 1t used to
be? That somehow there is differ
ence when you go down the street!
That the old places are more sub
dued and quiet; less busy and noisy?
That go where you will. the club, the
bowling ally, the billiard parlor, any
where, there is the same subtle sense
of change!
The old voices no longer hail you
with such eager challenge, such roy
al welcome, such whole souled good
fellowship; the old smiles no longer
greet you 30 warmly and the old
hand claps on the shoulder no longer
bring you the same old sense Of COM
radeship and friendly interest. Some
thing seems to have slipped silently
out of life.
For scores of the old faces are
missing: faces that you knew and
loved the best.
They are cover there" in the khaki
clad ranks that are slowly pushing
the gray Hun line backward toward
the Rhine. They are taking up the
burden Of civilization, Of democracy
and freedom; the liberation Of half
world threatened with enslavement;
the perpetuation Of our own national
liberty and safety. The overthrow
Of Kaiserdom
And some of them are never to
come back
None Of US will ever forget these
missing faces; the faces Of our
friends. our brothers, and sweet
hearts, our husbands and fathers. All
Of US will hope to welcome them
home again, triumphant from the fir
ing line. the jaws of death. the lit
eral mouth of the inferno.
Nor must any Of US forget them

that these bonds are to be offered.
That and that alone.

these faces that we love.
And begin at once your saving for

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
II VIII Open Its Campaign Sept %
and viii Close Oct 10.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 20
and close October 10. The result Of
the loan win be watched with keen
interest IN Europe. not only by our
associates In the war against the Teu-
tonic powers but by our enemies. Il
will be regarded by them as a meas
ure of the American peoples support
Of the war.
The Germans know full well the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support of the war, Of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds
our enemies will sorrow; as it falls
short they will rejoice. Every dol
lar subscribed will help and encour-
age the American soldiers and hurt
and depress the enemies of America.
The loan will be test Of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people Of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion Of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives:
shall we at home withhold our
money? Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare not their very livesf

OUR BOYS ARE PRESERVING
AMERICAS TRADITIONS ON.
FOREIGN BATTlEFELDS
AND IN TRENCHES
THEY DESERVE OUR SUPPORT
Back Them Up With our Dollars
When The Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign opens Septem-
Der g.

Every day the newspapers tell of
some one or another of the Yanks
having been awarded the cross of
war for conspicuous bravery in &C
ton. Every day these same dis
patches carry the story Of some intre-
pid charge against the enemy trench
es, the storming of some machine
gun nest, the taking of another town
of two in desperate hand to hand
fighting. And our hearts swell with
pride that it is so.
Equally appreciative of their PROV
ess are the allied leaders. "You
have shown yourselves to be worthy
sons of your great country and have
gained the admiration Of your broth
ers In arms" declared General Man
gin the other : y in an official or
der thanking the Yanks for their part
in the last great thrust against the
Huns.
General Mangin voiced the senti-
ments of the entire membership of
the allied general staff For the
Yanks have made good with a VEN
geance.
We are wholly justified in being
proud of them. We can look the
whole world in the eye, knowing they
rank with the finest. We can justly
feel again that the traditions Of
American arms have been upheld;
that in the eyes of the world Amer
lea no longer stands accused of paci-
fism at the cost Of honor; OF meek
submission to the ruthless arrogance
Of any people drunk with power.
Once more we may hold up our
heads, square our shoulders, take a
reef In our trousers and intimate to
the world at large that it's q danger
Gus pastime to tread upon the tail Of
our coat.
Thanks to the khaki-clad ranks.
And shortly we are to have an op-
portunity to prove just how much we
value our new-found standing IN the
eyes of the world. To repay, indi-
rectly, these restorers Of our national
self-respect.
For the Fourth Liberty Loan is
very close at hand. The campaign
viii open Sept. 20 and continue for
three weeks.

a substantial one.
