TO THE MEMBERS OF
ST. PETERS CHURCH

be permitted to kneeI before our
altar in alteration of the living God
even on the day we solemnly COM
memorate His coming into the world
to redeem mankind and bring peace
to men of good will. you are hereby
notified that these services will be
held in Sugar City on Christmas
morning at the following hours;
1st mass at 1900.
I'd mass at 500.
Sd mass at 800.
Three masses being said to avoid
overcrowding.
Holy communion, the body and
blood of Him, who said: HE that
eateth my flesh and drinketh my
blood hath everlasting life"-John
6:55-shall be distributed at each
mass. Confessions will be heard in
Ordway on Tuesday oetween and 6
p. m, and between z and 0 O'Clock.
am confident you will welcome this
privilege to thank the Prince of Peace
for delivering the world from the
scourge of the philosophy of might
over right and to plead with Him for
a de1iverance from the 'pestilence that
is at present ravaging it. Those who

will play. Then let US give them
plenty of wholesome. harmless play
on the school grounds and they will
not have SO. much desire for recrea-
ton in questionable resorts after

Consider the question from tho
aesthetic and architectural point of
view. Most Of the people in this COM
munity favor the cottage plan of
buildings. Ninety-six percent of those
who voted in the bond election so
expressed themselves. This plan of
building will require at least three
buildings now. More buildings would
be added as the needs of the COM
munity require. How could these
buildings be arranged on the present
site so as not to paralize the architec-
tual sense of those who see beauty
in architecture? And with three,
four or five buildings on the ground.
where would the children play?
Let us show broadmindedness and
foresight in considering this question.
Look not to the personal advantage of
having a school building adorn your
front or back yard. But to the in
terests of generations of boys and
girls who will come and go from it
Think the question thru from all an
giles before saying the present site
is adequate for the present and fu-
ture needs of the community.
Do we need more room? Shall we
change the school site now while we
have opportunity? This is a question
for the people to decide. What do
the people say?

Shall School
Ordway
Be Changed
Important Points Arc Brought Out
In Letter to Patrons By SuPerin-
tendent Ross-Changes Necessary
Should Be Made Now.
BY A. B. ROSS

Shall the school site be changed?
This is very important ques-
tion for this community at this
time for the reason that II the
present site is inadequate 1t
would be a great mistake to
erect new buildings on this
ground. Any location that does
not provide for the growth OF
the community for fifteen or
twenty years would Certainly not
be the place to erect the new
buildings. II different site
must be selected in a few years,
then it should be. done now. For
this reason, l feel 1t my duty to
call the attention of the people
to the situation and to point
out the conditions which show
the present site inadequate.
Our school site comprises one block
four hundred feet by two hundred
ninety feet. Before the fire, there
were on this block one teacherage
and garden lot, one barn for students
horse which holds about twenty head.
one school building and four hun
dred twenty-five children. Under
these conditions, we found 1t neces-
sary to dismiss but a part Of the
school at a time for recess in order
that the children might get proper
and sufficient recreation. Even by
this arrangement it was impossible
to play football or baseball without
endangering small children on the
grounds, or driving ball thru front
door glasses of neighboring civilians,
or the windshield of an unfortunate
tourist. For the larger boys to en-
gage in such games Of their choice
meant that smaller children were
crowded off the playground on TO
the sidewalks or >ato the school
building. What chance have five
hundred boys and girls for recreation
on this school site? Is 1t not an
educational sin to deprive these boys
and girls OF recreation and play
when 1t may easily he provided by
change of the school site. The stock
man for economic reasons does not
confine large herds of stock in small
corraIs.
The children are the greatest
asset this community has. Why
not give them room to develop
the best there Is in them? Those
who have had experience in
handling large groups Of chill
dren know what problems Of
discipline attend where they
shuttle around in idleness. Chill
dren must play. Play is as nee
essary to the we'll developed
child as pure air or wholesome
food. Thru plav he learns some
of the most valuable lessons OF
life. The child that plays does
more and better work than he
otherwise would.
Many children WIN take more in
terets in school II they have chance
to play those games suitable to their
age and development. There is no
food value in soda but who cares for
biscuit without soda? So many q

IL there is little play in 1t.
All the world plays except an
Fbenezer Scrooge. Read Dickens
Christmas Carols. Some will fnd
play in one thing and some in another.
Some find play in watching horse
race or cock fight, some in Sunday

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage Is a matter of the blood. Without good red blood man has weak heart and poor nerves.
 In the spring is the best time to take stock of ones condition. If the blood is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, generally weak tired and list less, one should take a spring tonic. One that will do the spring house cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem edy that was used by everybody nearly 50 years ago is still safe and sane be- cause it contains no alcohol or narcot- ic. It Is made up of Blood root, Gold en Seal root, Oregon Grape root, Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry bark-extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was first put out by Dr. Pierce in ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If druggists do not keep this in tablet form, send 60 cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce's Invalids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Kidney disease carries away large percentage of our people. What is to be done? The answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for while, such as Anuric (double strength), obtainable at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot water does sugar. You can obtain a trial package by sending ten cents to Doctor Pierce'S InyalidS' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y.

"Ah, young lady," solemnly began the horse-faced gent. q am not op- posed to all moving pictures merely because some of them are not what they should be. But I demand that those I patronize shall be helpful and elevating. Does the picture play, The Reward of Perseverance, which is be- ing shown in this theater, convey a wholesome and salutary lesson?'
 "Chee, yes!" chirped blond and dimpled Daphne of the box office. "Why, mister, in the first reel the beautiful but poor stenographer ditches her penniless young suitor and weds her bald-headed old boss. In the sec ond reel the old guy croaks and leaves her a million dollars. In the third she is led to the altar by faithful lover who has been waiting for her.

Fiahtinq for Oppressed.

This is the spirit in which America has entered the war. We are fighting for the oppressed everywhere. And we are equally determined that the in- justice and inequalities that exist in our own government, the false stand ards of worth, the materialism, the luxury and waste shall be purged from our midst. We shall seize this Oppor- tunity to finish up the cleaning of our own household. To sustain our army and navy in the struggle for such a cause, to uphold our president, to aid our allies who have fought so long and so bravely, these are worthy of our sacrifices. I am confident that the re- sponse of the American people to the third Liberty loan will be generous.
