IS ELECTION
NEEDS
OUTLINED

Voters of the % school districts
served by the Central Union high
school will be asked December IL
to issue S15O,OOO in bonds for the
establishment of bigger and
greater school in this community.
The school board of trustees, ]. Ste-
wart Ross, president; w. G. Russell,
clark and C. n. Perry, r. H. Clark and
J. NJ. Grafton has united in formally
issuing the call.
Conditions Crowded
Crowded conditions, improvements
which must be made and the establish
ment and development of a junior col
lege and vocational training are some
of the urgent reasons why the bonds
are needed
Principal VIM. r. Randall of Central
Union high school this morning out
lined the needs and desires of the
board
Since last year one of the main
trunks of development at the high
school has been vocational training
and this department has grown to such
size that the clatter of the forges has
become annoying to those reciting as
the recitation rooms are close to the
forges.
State Aid
State aid is now being received for
the agricultural and wood work de-
partments and federal aid is being re-
ceived for the iron work department
which is divided into four classes, as
follows;
Forge work
Gas engine instruction, including
auto truck and tractor
Machine shop and repair of farm i'm
plements.
Foundry work.
The extension of the vocational de-
partment is of vital Importance to the
community, Principal Randall said,
and the development of the school into
a Junior college, so that pupils could
take the first two years of their col
lese course in this city, will be big
asset to, the Valley as well as saver of
money to many parents.
Big School
The local school is now twice as
large as the second high school in the
Valley and the day classes number
more than 800 students. A large num-
Der are also enrolled in the night class.
es.
OF first importance, then, is the de-
velopment of vocational training and
the broader scope which junior col
lege would bring.
Next physical culture. in Mr.. RAN
dalFs opinion, should occupy more
important place and portion of the
bond issue will be used to construct a
gymnasium and swimming pool, togeth-
er with adequate quarters for the
students.
Repair Building
Thirdly, the lunch room should be
placed where originally intended and a
machine room constructed for the
machines which. now are placed in
what should be the lunch ROOM
Fourth, comes the rehabilitation of
the recent buildings and especially the
old building, where the plumbing is in
bad shape.
Added to these imperative needs are
requests from all departments for inn
provements of various natures and the
bond issue is expected to give FL Gen.
tro one of the finest schools from an
educational point of view in the entire
state.

rious charges The amounts charged
against each OF the churches IN the dis
trct were read, and Immediately there
were many ministers and delegates on
the floor, speaking for and against the
assessments. The Rev. Dr.. +. H. Van

Church, and his delegate, Mr.. Linthi-
cum. both thought their assessment

thought the ministers should accept
their appOrtionments and go to work

along the latter lines, his church being
assessed 5000. The matter was finally

Peace Conference Has Wasted lis Time
TALKING Instead of Making Peace Now
lFrom the indianapolis Newslndo- pend)

u is said that state department Off
ciais are somewhat alarmed over the
capture OF the Hungarian government
by The Bolshcviki. We trust that the
alarm may spread 20 the peace confer
ence. The situation Is certainly serl-
Gus enough TO cause great anxiety Yet
there is nothing particularly surpris-
ing about ID. Peoples without a gov
ernment and without food are the best
possible material for Bolshevlsm TO
work on That has been practically
the condition In Hungary ever since
the signing 0f the armistlce. Now the
Bolsheviki seems 20 be in full possess
sion OF such government as there Is,
an agent OF Trotzky being In COM
mand
The movement is spreading rapidly
into other countries. A Bolshevik army
IS marching against Poland. and Boil
shevik agents are operating in Serbia,
Roumania and Bulgaria. The blow is
struck directly at what was designed
90 be the barrier against the spread OF
this disease namely the new STATES OF
Poland, Jugo-Slav and Czccho-SlOvakia
Serbia and Boumana, friends and al
lies Of the Entente are very seriously
menaced. Thus one Of the great bases
OF the proposed peace Is attacked.
More than that there Is the chance
that Germany. taking advantage Of the
present situation may refuse 10 sign
any treaty. William Allen White says
that It Is now a race between peace
and European anarchy Perhaps 10 Is
wen a question OF whether there viii

II is even said that the movement is

the very beginning urged that a large
military force be sent into Russia. Had
this been done ethere would have been

Declines Are Predicted

Purchases of yarns arc confined to n
few numbers, according to the weekly
review of trade for the local district

volume of trade reported. During the
last week the business has shown some
what more activity than the previous

Prices have shown no material change
and. while some dealers report they be-
lieve prices will go higher. the majority
appear to be under the impression there
is little stability in the market aud
believe there will be n decline in price

say:
Among the manufacturers, knitters

siderably lower than it should be al
