OVER THE TOP.
Own the top in America.
Over the top in France
owsr tho top in saving food.
Over tho top in stamps.
Over tho top with the liberty loan,
Over the top with men;
over the top for Red Cross work,
Over and over again.
Then "Over the Top" be our battle
cry,
Dre the timely moments past;
Til In foremost lines Old Glory
shines
Over the top at last.
Then will rapine and pillaging
And ghoulish murder stop;
And peace shall stand on every land
With America over the top.

LET George do it-i It he's been prac-

years, and now it seems some OF the

The colonel tells the major
When he wants something done,
And the major tells the captain,

VS.. POLITICAL.

The last biennial report of Miss
Edith X. O. Clark, state superintendent
of public instruction. presents severa-
important points of interest to all who
are sincerely interested in the welfare
of the schools of the state. Calling at
tention to the recently enacted school
legislation providing for a state board
of education and a%ppointive office OF
commissioner of education, the report
says:
Heretofore. there has been no at
tempt to put the state administration of
school affairs ON a professional basis.
The office of state superintendent of
public instruction. invested with a
vague and meaningless general super
vision of the schools of the state, was
purely political. Although no thinking
person would advocate risking the Sc
lection of a city superintendent of
schools to the results of a political
town election, that practice was consid-
cred reasonable and necessary when
the office of the chief school executive
of the state was to be filled.
In the school legislation of 1917, we
have taken u most commendable step
forward. The administration and SUI
%pervision of the schools of the state are
now delegated to a non-partisan state
board of education empowered to EN-
ploy, as its executive secretary, a
trained school official possessing GER
tain professional qualifications stipu-
lated in the law. Under the new re-
welded into a system which could not
have been effected under the old plan.
There remains a slight legal con
flict of authority which should be re-
moved by Immediate legislation. No
friction has developed in the state de-
partment of education, due to his in
consistency. but to make the depart
ment an effective. working unit. the
whole administration of the schools
should be placed under one board. To
accomplish this, L recommend that the
state constitution be amended SO rs to
abolish the office of state superintend-
ent of public instruction. Provision
should then be made by law to ade-
puately enlarge the working force of
the department of education so as to
carry out all the constructive policies
determined upon by the board"

With the powers that be- at Wash
ington in the humor for the building of
additional irrigation projects in the
west for h~ome-making purposes for the
returning soldiers and others. we of the
Platte Valley should be on deck with a
bid for such a project in southern Car
bon county. If there is a place in the
west that has a better natural location
for a reclamation project, it is a freak
of nature, indeed. We have the vacant
land-hundreds of square miles of it
and irrigation water absolutely unlim-
ited. and the works for diversion of the
water to the land could be built here
for Attraction of the money expended
by the government on some projects
which have reclaimed no greater area
of land than is now lying idle between
Saratoga and the Union Pacific line.
We can safely depend upon Congress-
man Mondell and Senators Warren and
Kendrick to willingly place the matter
forcibly before the proper officials if
we but start the bali rolling" \. large
sum is being appropriated by the ma
tional congress for the examination of
arid tracts which offer opportunity for
reclamation projects. and the time for
action is at hand. one particularly
good way of getting what one wants is
TO ask for it.

should be taken against doing an injus-
tice to any patriotic citizen.
This same method of drafting funds
in recent drives has been the cause of
serious riots in some eastern states,
some hot-headed people %resenting with
physical force The injustice done them,
and in some places the Council of Ma
tional Defense is said to have inter
posed objection to the publication of
such lists because it was said to ne inn
possible to carry u the plan on a

After announcing in last weeks issue
that the County Wan Work Committee
would have a reply t. The SUMS recent
article on the Stacker list question.
the Rawlins Republican volunteers the
information that 1.-THE attack on the
committee is in the nature of a defense
of the slackers." The attack was in
the nature of nothing of the sort. The
article in question was entirely a de-
Tense of any man who nae voluntarily
bought bonds of the first issues. with
out getting any public credit therefor,
who might be classed as a Stacker by
the committee because he failed to-
meet demands made of him in later
drives. In following out the Stacker
list" plan a man who gave no assist
ance whatever during the trying times
in the earlier days of the war, but who
is later forced by the drafting process
and fear of publicity to finally do his
share, is made to appear the better and
more patriotic citizen, for the simple
little reason that he is given credit for
what he has been forced to give, while
no credit has been given to the man
who subscribed willingly and volun-
tarily.
