Last Thursday morning Mr.. Conkle
introduced Mr.. Small to the high school
boys and in the htter's talk he -ex-
planned his mission to the school that
morning and asked all the boys who
were interested to remain, every boy
remaining. He suggested that in Sc
lecting their officers they select the
best leaders available and when the
vote was taken it showed that these
boys were well thought of by their
school mates.
Carl Waite was elected president,
Paul Jones, secretary and Louie Boh-
ley, collector. Mr.. Carl Lowe and
Prof. Kennedy were suggested as
leaders; one of them has already ac-
cepted and it is believed the other one
will soon. Twenty-four boys have al

Health Saturday.
Deaths of children under five years
Of age in February totalled 1882, with
the possibility of a slight increase IN
this figure as result of delayed re-
ports. February, 1918, gave total OF
1,204, which was smaller than in eth
er January or March of that year.
Monthly averages for 1916 and 1917
were practically the same as this years
February total.
In giving the figures, the health de
partrnent called attention to Summit
county's heavy reduction in child
deaths. in February, achieved in spite
of abnormal disease conditions in the
state at large, and pointed out in this
connection that Akron, in that county,
has perhaps the most completely or
ganized public health nursing service
in the state. Summit county, with AZ
child deaths this February, was 20 be-
low the February, 1918, total; 81 be-
low the monthly average for 1917 and
% below the monthly average for 1916.
Lucas county, served by Toledo's large
staff Of nurses, had so child deaths In
February this year-eight fewer than
the previous February, Is fewer than
in the average month of 1917 and 70
fewer than in the average month OF
1915.

He entered the great hall of the castle leaning heavily on the arm of Gen eraI won F>alkephayn as the ancient clock cEimed eight on the morning of November 1Ith.
 The Kaiser and his host were en- tire strangers to each other, and for mal introducuons had to be made. This task was undertaken by Count MoltIle, and Wilhelm, after greeting his host, said: We are sorry to have to inconvenience you in this way, es- pecially when so many of your household are sick. Our stay will not, we hope, be of long duration It is good of you, indeed, to have of fered this hospitality to us." This was indeed a strange greeting, since l knew that he was by no means a welcome guest and that the Count had made no offer of hospitality, but, rather, had only acceded to the re- quest of the Dutch government, after much. pressure from a high quarter.

 Last November practically every member of the household at Amer ongen was a victim to the prevailing epidemic of influence, and Count Bentinck and his family had, as a fact, to wait upon themselves, there being only two men servants at the time well enough to attend to the household duties. It was during all the worries of this that the Count was summoned by a ring of the tele- phone.
 Uninvited Guests
 At the other end of the long-dis- tance wire was very high Dutch official, and the Count appeared to be extremely agitated during the conversation, and continually pro- tested that some request which was obviously being made over the tele- phone could not possibly be met. At length he said-'1 must talk the matter over with my children. Can you hold the line for a few mo- ments?'' The Count left the room.

 T am afraid that you have taken us very much by surprise replied the Count Carlos. We were expect ing at the most Q small party of two or three."
 Count A1oItl1e smiled grimly I thought, and asked, Are there no carts or cars in this place %
 The services of the old station master, who was overwhelmed with excitement at the sight of his sleepy little station being invaded in this manner, were enlisted and after much argument, and with TO small amount of difficulty. he was given to understand that he would be held responsible for finding means of transport for all the piles of luggage. As his resources consisted of some three or four porters at the most and an antiquated lorry he was placed in a quandary. Count Moltke, however, gave orders to Germans to sort out the luggage, apparently ignoring the stationmaster's apology. We had come from the castle in one motor car. and into this Count Carlor, Count MoItke, Major Plafen and Major Hirschleid crowded; while I was left behind until the car was sent back from the castle, with orders to bring up some of the luggage. There were endless journeys to and from the castle, two motor cars, including the one in which the Kaiser had arrived. being used, the old lorry belonging to the stationmaster and a number of carts from the village being requisi- toned to transport the luggage.
 It was impossible for us to house all the people at the castle, and while we made room for as many as we could, and commandeered the village inn, quite a number of the minor of ficials had to spend the night in the Imperial train, which was run into a siding.
 When I got back to the castle, found Count Bentinck in terribly agitated gate. Already, I was told he had telephoned to the Dutch off

 He was conducted by Count Ben tinck to the suite which had been prepared for him, and he and Falk enllayn were left together. About half an hour later the bell was rung violently, and the butler who an svered the summons was brusque.y ordered by Falkenhayn. who did not permit the man to enter the room to bring for the Kaiser a bowl or hot milk and a light meal The but Ter. who has been for years i'll the service of the Beinck family, failed at first to understand the very bad Dutch which the General spoke Falkenhayn, after repeating the or der, became very impatient. Stamp ing his foot testify, he turned to the man saying, There is no time to fool about. Bring milk ana 1ooo at once.'
 The old man was taken aback at the roughness of the speech, which was certainly something new in the household at Amerongen, and to this day he refers with feelings of scorn 70 the uncouth manners displayed by this arrogant Prussian.
 Later in the day was sent to M3ssbergen Station to meet the In- perial Train bringing tlEe members of the Kaiser's suite. The train was just running into the station when | arrived, and as I stepped on to the platform, accompanied by Count Car los, the eldest son of Count Bentinck. he members of the suite, headed by Count Moltke, were alighting. We watched them with astonishment, and the young Count gripping me by the arm, said quietly, What are we to put up with an army corps? Look at the luggage; the castle won't hold it all.'
 There were no fewer than 45 of ficers and men in a curious livery, who were soon hopelessly mixed up in struggling with trunks and boxes, which they piled on to the platform, making an effectual barricade- The hu1nor of the situation seemed to strike the young Count, for he ob- served, "And all for couple of days One of the Germans whom

TWO VIEWS OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

''The coal operators of the central competitive field have adhered to the principles of col 1ective bargaining for 30 years with the largest body of organ ized labor in the United States, and it is our opinion that our scale negotiations have broken down and that our contract has been abTogs ted by the Miners Union in their call for q strike Nor-. l, because the present sys- tenn of collective bargaining does not fix equal responsibility uncer the law upon the employer and the labor union.
 Our experience teaches us that no set of employers should agree to a system of collective bargaining which does not make both parties to the contract equally liable and responsible for the observance of the terms Of such contract. t.''-Thomas Brew ster. chairman of the Coal Op- orators Of the Central Competi- tive Coal Fields. at a conference with Sec.
