SCHOOL NOTES

Our school desires to express
their gratitude to the w. r.. c.. for
their donation of flags. Each
room was the recipient of a nice
patriotic emblem.
AT a meeting of the Board of Ed
ducation last evening, the resig-
nation of Miss Anna Rowe was
accepted. Miss Rowe is called TO
her home i'm South Carolina on
account of illness i'm the family.
She is an efficient teacher and
her going will be a matter of re-
grct ON the part of pupil and pa
irons. Miss Mckinney of Wood
bine was elected to the position.
Miss Mckinney has a record of
successful experience and is a
graduate of the advanced educa-
More than two hundred of our
pupils have expressed a desire to
have a school garden. The out
look for the best school garden
ing work in connection with the
schools was never brighter. The
Board of Education has author
lied the renting of nineteen lots
of the best ground in Missouri
Valley Seven OF these are lots
east of the First Ward school and
twelve are located in Snyders s ad-
dition. This land has only one OBJ
lection and that is The distance
which is only nominal. Many chill
drcn i'm the large cities go as far
IT'S ten miles on the street car to
their school gardens. The call fo1s
increased production of food is
urgent and every man woman and
|child can be a vital factor in Win
ming this war through the gar
den work. Each child will be given
a plot of ground sufficiently large
to- make it worth while. The chill
drcn will be urged to sell the sur
plus garden products and buy
thrift stamps. II is big task for
the teachers to instruct two or
three hundred children in the
planting of the seeds. Many par
ents came with the children last
year and we shall welcome their
assistance again. The boys at the
front are making unspeakable
sacrifices. Let us who are far re-
moved from the bursting she'll do
our part to win this awful war
for liberty and humanity.

a LITTLE TALK ABOUT
a FUNNY MAN

When the Vanity Girls Were
billed for the Palm Theatre this
week the name of Skinnie Kimh-
ling was announced as the prime
ipal comedian. This did not mean
anything to the theatre g0ers of
Mo. Valley, but today when you
mention the name OF skinnie TO
the patrons there is a grin comes
on their face as they cannot look
at 'Skinnie in his black face char
acter without laughing. He is
without doubt the best black face
man we have ever seen. That is
what everybody says. Now when
you think that Skinnie Kimbling
is just boy and when you meet
him he is quite a young chap with
a winning personality that makes
everybody like him and during his
stay at the Palm he is gaining a
host of friends. Tonight Skinnie
takes the leadin black face in "a
Sight at the Cabaret and they
say he is a scream. This is said
by the management to be one Of
their hest offerings. s

every state in the union, today
opened a national movement to
make every American citizen an

"The time IS coming, and we
might as we'll prepare to face it.,
declared former President Taft,
''when the seeds of discomfort
will be sown, when we meet dis
aster, when, with hellish melig-

for fools among us a trap of in
conclusive peace. We must have
our people educated to stand up
against that and teach the Ger
mans that a moral people like us
will die sooner than give up our
high ideals. We ask no territory,
no money, no indemnify, no addi-
tional power. We are fighting
for humanity, for the most sacred
cause since history began"
