What's all this hubbub about
the Lusitania? Women and

Well, what business have women
and children sailing the high
seas? OF course the seas have
always been recognized as free
by all civilized nations, but that
was before Germany fenced
them off. When Germany draws
the line and says stay away or
get drowned, we ought to do so.
Preparedness? For what? It's
nothing but a scheme of the
munition makers to fatten their
own purses. America doesn't
need to be prepared. We won't
have to fight. How can they
make us fight if We just won't
do it?

Congressman forced us into this
war. We had no cause to get
into it. Didn't | say last year
that they couldn't make us fight
if we didn't want to? Then why
couldn't we have stayed out of
it? Didn't Germany tell us that
we could send one whole ship a
week across the waters provided
we painted it upside, downside
and all around with stars and
stripes? One ship a week ought
to have been enough for a little
country like ours. A tleast that's
what the Kaiser told us and he
ought to know. I'll tell you
where the trouble lay. 1t was

effectiveness of their efforts and

BRITISH FARMERS

The farmers were tOlG that they had
to make drastic changes In their methods.
There were only enough oats to feed
working horses on reduced rations after
making allowance for mining stocks. Mr..
Prothero continued. There was no con-
centrated food for cattle feeding. and
this shortage must last at least until
this time next year.
Mr. ProtherO advised the farmers to
grow all the potatoes they could.
Baron Rhondda. who also spoke, said

carriage horses which had not been sent
out to grass would have to be killed.

more barbarous it becomes. extending its
gruesome terrors to helpless women and

Eventually, II is believed. this factor

Germany has been preparing for this
aerial offensive for eighteen months. in
fact since the failure Of her Zeppelin
campaign. when the factories and plants
for building dirigibles were turned over
for the construction OF airplanes for the
great aerial drive in the spring OF 1918.
A majority Of the munition factories
IN every town in the centre of Germany
is devoted to-day to this purpose. All

youths to join the flying services Tn

THE CITY SCHOOLS

Superintendent Fred l.. MacChes-
ney of the Mariana sthools has a
timely article in this issue of the
Courier-Index dealing with the school
situation here. We hope every citi-
zen of Mariana will read what
Superintendent MacChesney has to
say With the splendid school plant
this city has, with its modern equip
ment and the strong faculty of IN
structors there is no reason why the
school system in Mariana cannot
be one of the best in the state. In
all other public matters the people
of Mariana show a keen interest.
In social and civic affairs and in pat
riotic movements no community ex-
cells the magnificent record that has
been made by the people Of Marian
ma But in the matter of developing
stalwart men and women, in giving
proper training to the boys and girls,
in building character and the worth
while human attributes the parents
do not manifest the interest they
should Too much is left to the in
structors in the public schools and
not enough is done in the home.
There is not that essential spirit of
cooperation, sympathy and mutual
helpfulness upon the part of the par
ents toward the teachers that makes
for the best development in the
children.
Superintendent MacChesney very
earnestly pleads for a change in con-
ditions, and his assistants are be-
yond question entitled to the fullest
measure of cooperation upon the
part of the parents. Their work can
be only half done II all of the teach
ing and control of the pupils is turn
ed over to the instructors. Parents
cannot escape their share of the re-
sponsibility, neither can they shift
it to the shoulders of others.
