In the past about three things en-

our population was like marbles In

not adhere, In the large cities there
were sections of italy, Austria, Bo-

as II they were under the skies OF
their own land. Their coming to
America had net changed them one
whit-save perhaps to give them a

RED CROSS BIRTHDAY

Saturday, March 16, was the thir-
ty-sixth anniversary of the founding
of the American Red Cross. Miss
Clara Barton, during her glorious
service throughout our Civil war, had
seen the great need of some sys-
tematic nursing service which should
have governmental sanction, and it
was while recuperating in Switzer-
land from her arduous duties that the
great inspiration came to her. Re
turning to America, she began arous-
ing public interest in her project,
meeting with but little success, how
ever, until Chester A. Arthur became
President. Finally, after wearing
years of trying to get congress to
take action, her work was crowned
with success, and on March 16, 1882,
the senate ratified the resolution Gre
ating the American Association of
the Red Cross" by which name it was
known for many years, later being
changed to the American Red Cross.
1t has grown from weak and strug-
Cling babe to a lusty giant and is to-
day the greatest organization for the
uplift and assistance of humanity in
the civilized world.

ARNOLD MURDER TRIAL
BEGUN AT CASSVILLE

Taking of evidence in the case of
the State of Missouri against o. Ar
mold, charging Arnold with the killing
of Jason Whitner, a teamster, who
insisted on unloading a case of beer
at the Davis-Arnold garage at Selig-
man last July, was begun yesterday
in the Barry county circuit court.
Evidence adduced at the prelimi-
nary trial showed that Whitner drove
his dray wagon up in front of the
garage and started to unload the case
of beer, when he was ordered by Ar
mold not to do so.
During the argument that followed
Arnold drew revolver and shot
Whitner, who was in the back part of
the wagon. The team, frightened at
the shot, bolted, throwing Whitner
from the wagon. He was put on a
stretcher and carried to the office of
DR.. Northcutt, in Seligman. but as
his condition was growing steadily
worse he was put on the train and
rushed to Springfield, where he died
about twenty-four hours later.
Arnold, Immediately following the
shooting, gave himself up to the au-
thorities, but was not taken into Gus
tody because of the serious illness of
his wife, who died shortly afterwards.
The trial started Wednesday at
Cassville and the jury was sworn the
first day, although no evidence was
taken until yesterday, when about
eighty witnesses were examined.
The case is being tried with Jake
Davis as prosecuting attorney and
James George and James Talbert at
torneys for the defendant.

SEND BOYS But
REFUSE BREAD.
ID. r. Lyman Wilbur Says We Must
Send Wheat to Back Soldiers.

Manhattan, Kan, March 19.-Siz
months from today Americans will
be the most honored or the most de-
spised people of history, was the
opinion voiced by DIR. R. Lyman Will
bur, president of Leland Stanford
Junior University, in an address be-
fore the students and faculty of the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Since May he has been head of the
speakers bureau of the United States
Food Administration.
'This is the most critical year, not
only of this war, but since the time of
Christ" declared Doctor Wilbur, "yet
the American people are asleep. They
are not backing up the boys whom
they have sent forth to fight and die
for them. They seem to say, You
can have our boys-the best we've
got--but not our white bread Six
hundred million barrels of flour must
be sent across for every month since
December or the war is lost, and we
cannot send flour from wheat that is
not grown, or that we have eaten"

LIBERTY LOAN HONOR FLAG

A new and distinctive feature will
be introduced in the Third Liberty
Loan campaign, and every city or
town in the country which subscribes
more than its quota of Liberty Bonds
will be awarded by the Treasury De-
partment an Honor Flag.
The flag will be SO inches wide AID
54 inches long. The body of the flag
will be white with broad red border,
and three broad blue vertical stripes
denoting the Third Loan. The flags,
which will be of the same quality as
the flags of the navy, are already be-
ing manufactured and will be award
ed as fast as the right to fly them is
won. Though awarded by the Treas
ury Department, they will be dis
tributed by the Liberty Loan COM
mittees Of the different districts.
There will also be a National Hon.
or Flag for each state, to be flown at
the state capitol, with the name of
each town winning a flag inscribed
upon it. There will be also preserved
in the United States Treasury Ma
tional Honor Flag, with the record
of each state recorded on it.
Stars, to be placed on the flag OF
each city or town doubling its quota,
will be also awarded, and an addi-
tional star for each time the quota is
doubled.
An Honor Roll, containing the
names of all subscribers, but not the
amount of the individual subscrip-
tions, will be kept in each community.
A window card, bearing a representa-
ton of the Honor Flag, will be given
each subscriber to the loan, to he dis
.,layed at the home or place of busi
ness.

pended from the chandelier to each
place card. Covers were laid for
twenty. Only immediate relatives
and friends were present.

REGARDING THE SCHOOL LEVY
To School Officials:

To School Officials:
The Tax Commission has not We
received reports from all countiei
and consequently has been unable tt
make final report to the State Boart
of Equalization.
There seems to be a wide diversity
in rates of assessment (some items
being reported at even less than last
year, and there are many rumors as
to the probable action of the State
Board of Equalization. Until it has
the report of the Tax Commission be-
it, it cannot act, and until that time
no reliable announcement can be
made as to its probable action.
1t seems to be, therefore, that the
safest plan for school boards to fol-
low is to submit to the people at the
annual meetings such a rate as on
last years valuation will produce the
revenue needed for maintaining the
schools. The State Board of Equali-
zation will no doubt act before April
2, and if the valuations are doubled
or trebled, school boards can ask that
the proposition submitted be defeat
ed, and then submit a new PROPOSE
tion at a special election. However,
if valuations are not materially in
creased, nothing less than the maxi
mum levies now allowed by the con-
stitution will be sufficient to keep the
schools going at even a minimum of
efficiency. The cost of living has in
creased so much that we will have to
make substantial increases in the
salaries of elementary teachers if our
schools are not to suffer materially.
Where annual meetings are held at
2 o'clock in the afternoon Gin "three
director districts") no notice of in
crease of levy is necessary. Such
meetings will have the facts before
them and can determine at that time
the rate necessary to run their
schools.
Regardless of increased expendi-
lures along other lines, it would be
to the state and to the ma
tion if a false economy should be al
lowed to lower the efficiency of our
public school system. I therefore
urge school boards to take the safe
course, and submit a proposition that
will provide, if possible, enough mon
ey to secure a greater efficiency in
the schools. Count on about the same
from the state as last
year. Any increase will be offset by
present cost of materials and rea-
sonable salaries of teachers.
Very truly yours,
UEL w. LAMKIN,
1878 State Supt. of Schools.

a result of the theft of his travelling
bag and its valuable contents, the

various members of the congregation
who contributed the checks which
were stolen.
The letter, after reciting the cir
cumstances of the loss, asked the diff

checks for the amount previously do
mated to the evangelist as an offer
ing for his labors in Springfield dur
ing the recent revival services. The
letter was signed by Bert S. Lee, OF
