the girls.
The school work continues in spite
of the epidemic. The High School
has suffered sorely in attendance,
there being an average Of fifty alb
sentees daily. This includes those
who fear getting it and some who are
working. Tho an exceedingly large
number are out there is no doubt as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
school. 1t sustains interest of the
students and keeps at least sem
blance of high school.
Miss Alsop is the only teacher af-
fected by the rigid quarantine law.
1t was necessary for her to remain
out of school five days because there
is influenza in her home.

The Liberal High School basket
ball team began practicing in the
Armory of the X. N. G. Friday night.
There were about 10 or IL boys out
for practice. Floyd Longwell will be
out of basketball for about three
weeks on account of a sprained ankle.
Some of the other players are out
because of the flu. The National
Guard said that the high school might
use the armory any time. This is
the best place to play basketball in
the southwest, and Liberal should do
better and have much faster team
this year than last.
The Spanish class is working on

usual experiment day was Thursday
but as Miss Alsop was out because
of the flu at her home it came the
last of the week.
The typewriting classes are pre-
pairing for the next test.
Miss Henry read two latin stories
to the Caesar class Friday.
The Physiology class had an oral
test Saturday.
The high school is making contri-
buttons for the French war orphans.
There have been many calls made
upon the students but they are meet
ing them well. It is hoped the school
will raize $3.50. That amount will
keep an orphan for one year. This
is indeed great cause and one that
appeals to the boys and girls.
The Victory Boys and Girls are to
be congratulated on their response
to the call Of the United War Work
organization. Seward county boys
and girls are over the top by 80 per
cent. The quota was $4,000 and
the final count shows $5S7.25 has
been pledged. Two boys have ia
names on their roll of honor with
1917 to their credit; 149 girls pledged
SCOOPS. This money does not have
to be paid until March LIST unless the
pledger desires to do so. We under
stand various means are being used
to earn the money. The Sunday
school kept many from making
pledges for there is little time now
for a student to earn money. The
call was made in Garfield, Lincoln,
Junior and Senior High schools.
Those girls who assisted in soliciting
are Mary and Irene Etzold, Mary
Farmer, Genevieve Stricklin, Alta
and Ada Miller, Josie Lipprant, Mary
jackson, Gertrude Malone, Blanche
Jones, Clara Just and Evelyn Molter.
Liberal High School teachers have
adopted a French war orphan and
will soon be in correspondence con-
corning it.
Mary Farmer has been absent from
school the last of the week. She is
quite sick with appendicitis. All
her school friends extend their SYM
pathy to her.
Robert Ellis has been sick with the
flu for the last week, but is feeling
better now.
We are all glad to welcome Miss
Alsop back to our midst after her
five days vacation.
Scribbles were handed in Saturday.
Let us hope there will be several AS

1900 ENGINEERS SOON
TO LEAVE CAMP MEADE
One Company Already Gone to
Laurel to Prepare Site
for 23d Unit.

The 23d Engineers, q crack organi-
zation Of the Regular Army. which has
been quartered at this National, Army.
cantonment, is preparing to move to
Laurel. Md. where it is understood GER
tain engineer units are to be concen-
trated preliminary to their departure
for France. One company of the unit
has already left for Laurel to prepare
the camp site for the reception of the
other troops, and it was stated that
the entire regiment will turn its backs
on Meade within the next-few weeks.
The departure of the 23d Engineers
will take approximately 1000 soldiers
from this camp, still the movement
will be necessary to make room for
an equal number of selected men-a
part of the last of the first quota
who are expected to pour into the camp
after February 49, Pennsylvania is still
about 10000 shy of its quota for the
first draft and Maryland, too, must con-
tribute quite an additional number OF
men.
There will be no more arrivals until
after the middle of next month because
of the delays caused by the classifica-
tons resulting from the QUESTIONABLE.
Bat after the district boards have
classified all of. tho men no time will
be lost in selecting a sufficient number
from the first class to fill UP the va
cancies in the various regiments. The
delay in the arrival Of the last OF the
first quota is in no way holding up the
training of the Liberty Division, how
ever, and when the newcomers reach
here they will be assigned to training
battalions and rushed through the rudi-
npentary stages of their schooling in
soldiery.
Many district boards still owe the d.
vision large number of men because
of reflections here for physical defects
and because many men were selected
through error. For every man who is
sent here and found to be physically
unfit the district board from which he
was sent must select another to take
his place. A majority of the district
boards have been careful in the selec-
ton of men.

Shifted Into Other Division Units.

Several hundred men from the depot
brigade have been shifted into the
other units of the 7Sth Division by an
order just made effective. This order
puts into the ranks men who came
down here Immediately after Christmas
and have passed the period of observa-
ton and the rookie stage of training.
They have been trained together and
brought up to the standard, OF organiza-
tons that were formed last September.
The infantry organizations are run
ming from 2.2O0 to 1850 men, and thus
welcomed the recruits. as they need
nearly $500. The new plan fills out
trained organizations with men who
are familiar with the elements of dis
cipline and drill.

COL. MORTIMER REASSIGNED.
Many Selected Men Relieved to As
sumo Tasks in Shiphuilding.

Lieut.. Col. Charles o. Mortimer, who
has been the acting commander of the

Camp Cody. New Mexico, for assign
ment to duty.
Another lad in this division of the se-
lected Army has been discharged to fill
a post of Importance with a prominent
shipbuilding corporation in PhiIadel--
phia. He is Levi H. Shattuck of the
utilities detachment of the Quartermas-
ter Corps. During the last few weeks
quite number of selected men who
are experts in various phases of ship
building were discharged under an
agreement that they would go back to
their. trades or in their previous capac-
ities--in. yards where ships are being
built for the government. All who
were discharged from here were sent to

Some Hard Thinking.

The heads lean over the plates. words
are uttered softly, nothing much is said
but there Is some tremendous thinking
going on. The boy glances at his new
wrist watch, springs up and says that
his time Is over and that he must re-
turn to barracks. There are kisses and
handshakes. The hostess house for that
little family becomes a shrine. 1t is the
place they will remember as the years
roll on.
Every day somebody starts from
Meade to take some short cut to France,
to be added to some unit nearly ready
to go, to hurry over to do some urgent
Job there. and every day all the men
get a little nearer to that moment when
the 18th Division will get it's sailing
orders. In the hostess house this
thrill of imminent service is always in
the air. 1t is touch and go every day
there. '
There are no goodbye scenes at rail-
road stations in the Army in war time.

permit of announcements along that
line. Orders to move often come at
night and the hour set is often the next
morning.

ing is. in every way the finest and most

place for music. although there is, of
course, a piano: not place for better

one place that seems more like home
than any other in the camp. Gen. w. J.
Nicholson, the commander.in camp, is a

A man in other parts of the camp is
part of the fighting machine,.a rifieman,
al bomber, a sniper, A grenadier, but
here the man is mothers son, the huS-
band of some proud wife, the daddy Of
some smiling children, the one boy that
an old white-haired father wanted to
see before the boy goes over the top.
This is the heart center OF the camp.

MUST HAVE FAIR CHANGE.

Representatives of industry in con Vention at Atlantic City ask for what is no more than fair when they seek a free hand in readjusting business to a peace ba sis. Their chief alarm seems to be over governmental inter- ference and they are confident of guiding heir ship through the shoals if allowed to do so in their own way
 Every precaution should be exer- cised by the government to prevent the repetition of abuses such as the public has experienced in the past but Big Business should not be ham strung merely Eeuuuse it represents millions of dollars and an ines tinable wealth of brains. Now, if ever, there should be frank under standing between the government and industry. A fixed policy should be adopted which will encourage cap ital to expand and produce and at the same time protect the public from pirates. There is nothing to fear from the honest business man.
