in other and better terms concerning
the proper type of schools.
So We hope it may be possible for the

TO MAKE THEIR
BODIES SOUND
All School Children Now To Be
Given Physical Training.

One of the small but important bills
that went through the General Assem-
bly, in its closing hours was Senate bill
No. 555, introduced by President Camp
bell. which provides for physical educa-
ton and training in the public schools.
This Is the bill that the Public Athletic
League was so much interested in and
which was introduced by President
Campbell at the request of DIR. William
Burdick, director of the league. Presi-
dent Campbell had a bill of his own,
which went mu,h further than the
Burdick bill, and provided for the
military training of children in the
schools, but this was defeated in the
House.
The Burdick bill, which will become a
law as soon as Governor Harrington
signs 1T. directs that physical training
shall be given the pupils in all the pub
lie schools of the State and in all schools
aided or maintained by the State. In
the elementary public schools this IS to
consist of at least Is minutes on each
school day and at least one hour out
side the regular classroom work in each
school week. In public high schools
the period of physical training is to be
at least one hour in each school week
and at least two hours of directed play
and athletics for all pupils outside of
regular classroom work in each week.
The State Board of Education is d.
rected to appoint a supervisor of physi-
cal education for the purpose of carry
ing out the provisions Of the act and
to appoint such other assistants, both
clerical and professional, as shall be
accessory in the administration and su-
pervislon of physical education.
The Public Athletic League of Mary
land has already begun its activities in
Garrett county. TOR during the past
few years county athletic meets have
been held here under its jurisdiction,
and a similar county meet is planned
for this year to be held either at Oak
land or Accident on Thursday, May 9th.
Ire committee in charge consists of
the following: c. Edward Bender,
chairman; E. A. Browning, A. W. De-
Witt, Marie Conner, Albert Enlow, A.
w. Ramsdell and A. D. Appleton.

Grantsville Election.

The Grantsyille town election took
place on Monday last with the follow
ing result: Mayor, William Winter
burg; Councilmen, William ]. Wright
and Thomas B. Mckenzie. Mr.. Winter
burg, the newly-elected mayor. was
elected without opposition. He had
been member of council for several
terms and having the interest of the
town uppermost, is well fitted for the
position. He succeeds Mr.. H. C. Bong,
who served for number of years and
who declined denomination owing to
the fact that he ls not certain as to the
continuation of his residence at Grants
vile. Both the new councilmen are
splendid men and will do good service.

FORCE TO THE UTMOST AND
MONEY

The first fine gust of enthusiasm and
patriotism with which the third Liberty
Loan campaign was inaugurated reach
ed its climax on Saturday, and now the
crucial period of the campaign is
nearing.
The heavy work is just beginning.
1t is not hard to catalogue the absolute
ly certain sources of subscriptions for
the first two or three days. and to be
proud of the start that has been made.
The point is, are we going to increase the
average on each succeeding day? This
is what will require the work, the real.
logged effort.
Secretary McAdoo has put a needed
check to overoptimism in ordering that
only actual subscriptions, and not the
estimates of the canvassers, shall be
announced publicly. This will, of course,
act as damper on unrestrained and
enthusiastic estimates; but it is probable
that the actual tabulation of subscrip-
lluIio WIN NC SGNGIdl udNS Deulliu lue dC-
tual total, so that for practical pur-
poses it will not be much better than
the other method. Clearly, the only
thing left to do is not to depend too
much on estimates or on statistics
veering to one side or the other, but
to do our utmost in buying bonds. This
Is the surest and the most satisfactory
way in which to make certain that the
Loan will be oversubscribed.
Remember, $4,000, 900 is needed at
once. Remember, also, that the Ger
mans are floating another war loan now.
If Germany can do this after nearly
four years of war, surely we should
haye almost no trouble at all in doing
it at the end of the first year; and this
the more SO. when it is considered that
Force to the utmost" has become the
slogan accepted by both sides. We
cannot exert even a 1.-THE of our ut
most force without this money for
which the Government asks.

ARMY REGULATIONS URGE
FRIENDSHIP OF OFFICERS

The following paragraph of Army
Regulations is the only rule now ex-
isting regarding the relationship be-
tween officers and enlisted men:
"Superiors are forbidden to injure
those under their authority by tyran-
nical or capricious conduct or by abu-
sive language While maintaining
discipline and thorough and prompt
performance of military duty, all Of
ficers, in dealing with enlisted men,
we'll bear in mind the absolute neces-
sity of SO treating them as to preserve
their self-respect. Officers will keep
in as close touch as possible with the
men under their command, will strive
to build up such relations of confidence
and sympathy as will insure the free
approach of their men to them for
counsel and assistance. This relation
ship may be gained and maintained
without relaxation of the bonds of dis
cipline and with great benefit to the
service as a whole"

SUGGEST PLAN TO ESTAB-
LISA SUGAR BEET PRICE

WASHINGTON, d. CAS- a solu-
tiOn of the agitation concerning prices
to be paid beet growers next year by
western sugar factories, Herbert c.
Hoover, food administrator. has evOlr-
ed a plan whereby the books of the
sugar companies may be opened to a
federal committee in order that the
fair price for beets may be ascertain
ed.
In conference with DIR. r. E. Jones
of Fort Morgan, one of the committee
of five beet growers from Colorado,
Hoover recommended that a commit
tee of three farmers be named by the
growers and that second committee
of three be named by the sugar COM
panies. Hoover would then choose
one member out of each of the inter-
ested committees and in addition
would appoint three more members as
nearly disinterested as possible to
make up an executive committee of
five members.
This committee of five would, ac-
cording to Hoover's plan be empower
ed to administer the oath and take
testimony on Investigations, and to
take over the books of the companies
in order that the true profits of the
sugar making may be learned and
thus arrived at fair price for sugar
beets.
This plan, it is stated here, met
with opposition on the part of all the
sugar companies but one-a Califor-
MIA concern-the farmers representa-
tives without exception favoring the
plan. In spite of the opposition it is
understood that Hoover will favor
forcing the plan through and that he
intends to start the operation of the
new committees very soon.
The operation of this plan includes
the division of the beet raising states
into various sections, each section to
have a committee of five to carry on
Investigations for the factories in its
territories. The Colorado committee
named by the farmers is Norman G.
Galley of Fort Collins, Charles Bliss
of Greeley and Isaac Bolinger of Fort
Morgan.
DR.. r. E. Jones of Fort Morgan was
called as witness before the sugar
investigation committee Saturday. He
made the sensational accusation that
the sugar companies had this year
urged the growing of beets as patri-
otic measure and had used the food ad-
ministration's special appeal for acre
age as a means of increasing their
own profits.
With DR.. Jones in Washington are
five other Colorado men, all members
of beet growers committee sent
here to seek raise in the price of
beets through the operations of the
food administrator. They are J. NJ
Collins of Eaton, A. B. Hicks of
Greeley, C. Perkins of Loveland and
Fred Cummins of Fort Collins. AL

Union attorney, is also in Washington,
