School system are entered in the
County Essay Contest. The subject is
the Third Liberty Loan, and the prize,
a purse to be made up by citizens of
the county. 1t is thought desirable
for the winner to convert some OF the
prize, at least, into War Saving Ger
%tiicates. The purpose Of the contest
is to create greater interest among
the citizens of this county in the
Third Liberty Loan Drive.
Work has begun on an lronton High
School History, by the students of the
High School. 1t is rather late to be-
gin the undertaking but we fully hope
and expect to accomplish this pur-
pose. ANY information concerning
the past history of the school We
should be glad to receive. OF particu-
lar value would be those "Memory
Books" kept by former students, and
the loan OF which we would greatly
appreciate. Next year, the faculty
has promised the students ofthis High
School will consider the publication
of Yearbook; which, it is hoped,
will establish a permanent custom.

The Jitney Supper given by the
ladies' of the Finance Committee was a
great success, as the affairs arranged
by this committee always are. The
food served was of the best and shows
what excellent cooks we have in the
Valley, while the male population
proved themselves fine judges by the
amount they consumed.
The kitchen and other aprons were
sold at good prices, such practical
things appealing to the housewives
present. Everyone had a good time,
which was due as much to the fine
musical program as to any n thing.
Altogether the arrangements were

The Lancaster Ironton debate, held
at Lancaster, Missouri, last Friday
night decided the Eastern Missouri
championship. Lancaster holds the
northeast Missouri championship and
represented the affirmative. Ironton
holds the southeast Missouri cham
pionship and represented the mega
tive. The Judges we're Professors
Trenholme, Sabine and Wooster, all
Of the State University. Special
commentator must be accorded the
debaters, Messrs. Morrison and Rec
tor, their coach, Supt. Patrick and the
Lancaster people on their cordial re-
ception of this team and Professor
Shoop; their excellent attention dur
ing the debate proper, and their good
spirit in defeat. The trip was made
most pleasant by visiting the Kinks
vile High School and Normal School
on Friday afternoon. The Kirksville
High School team was defeated in the
first debate by Lancaster. Hence
KirksvilIe was capable OF judging cor.
rectly when the lronton team was
warned that the Lancaster de-
baters possessed not only excellent
argument but the "most wonderful
presence and delivery ever witnessed
in a High School debate" In this
opinion the Ironton team Is now per.
fectly agreed, and for that reason is
all the more appreciative OF the de-
ciBion. The statement of Superin'
tendent Patrick, that more people
would attend o debate In Lancaster
than a basket ball game, was fully
verified. The audience, numbered
perhaps six hundred. A Home Guard
OF some Atty members attended In o
body. and a splendid orchestra en-
tertained before the debate. Now,
the dcbaters desire to thank our own
High School student body for the
loyal interest evidenced by the long
distance call to Lancaster for the pur.
pose OF a%scertaining the decision, and
also the hearty congratulations we
have received from the towns people.
The students Of the High School
marching in the Liberty Loan Parade
on Monday found some difficulty In
keeping step. This perhaps WAS due
to The fact that "Canning the Kaiser''
by the boys quartet plus numerous
| understudies In the rear OF the line,
failed to harmoniye In . precisely
melodic manner with "The Star
Gpappled Banner" BY the girls chorus
or vice versa. We believe the stud

LIBERTY LOAN DAV AT lRONTON.

Last Monday was a red-letter day
for Iron county. 1t was Liberty
Loan Day here, taking place of the
previous Saturday, first appointed.
The skies were enticingly blue in the
glory of the sun whose golden rays
were quickening the buds of early
spring. A not too bracing atmosphere
invigorated human life, expanded the
lungs and gave zest to exertion. In
short, it was a day to beget thankful
ness for existence and spring hope for
the days to come. AS above sta ted,
it was Liberty Loan Day, and grandly
the citizens of the county responded
to the call for the gathering. They
came from the West End, the South
End, and the farms and towns along
the way. Belleview, GranitevilIe,
Middlebrook, Des Arc, Annapolis and
Sabuia delegations joined with the
towns of the Valley, responsive to
the patriotic thrill now quickening
American life. They came by rail, Oh
horseback, in wagons and autos, and
afoot-men and women earnestly
responsive to the duties before them.
We all may recall with pride the
demonstration and give faith anew to
the assurance that "a government of
the people by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the
earth"
At 1:30 p. NJ the children from the
Ironton public schools, with banner
and flags displayed, marched down
the street, singing, keeping step to
"The Star Spangled Banner" Some
ladies, too, were in the ranks. The
throng on the sidewalks, with barred
heads, gave homage to the strains OF
the national air, with heart and mind
responsive to its thrilling appeal. AS
the procession passed me l thought of
those other children and women be-
You'd the sea, outraged, abused and
terrorized, starving and homeless
through the brutality and savagery OF
the invading Huns, and involuntarily
went up a prayer for every soldier
boy barring our own fair land from
their atrocities. Hate the ravaging
hordes devastating the devoted lands
OF Europe? How "a any true Ameri.
can in his waking hours have o pulse.
beat that does not tingle to his brain
hatred for them?
AT the court house, the Don filled
to overfiowing, the proceedings began
by an invocation by Rev. N. B. Henry,
followed by several patriotic airs sung
by the whole assemblsge, Miss Work
man leading. Then the chairman,
Hon. VIM. r. Edgar, after a fervent
and telling address, introduced Mr.. B.
Fl. Marbury, OF Pennington, who for
an hour %eloquently appealed to the
hearts and minds OF his hearers, call
ing forth frequent bursts of applause.
It was an address long to be remem.
bered. After him Rev. Chas. King
was called out and he in q short, but
fervid and clear.cut talk, again evil
denced that the spirit OF the Fathers
is not dead within us. This closed the
programme and We all dispersed ia
our homes.
The Day has passed and Is gone
but watch Iron County's Liberty
Loan!
