Young Soldier Here on
Way Home to Coast

Mustered out at Camp Russell,
Il. $. Swanson came here to visit
his father, ID. A. Swanson, who
with c. o. Satfell has been leasing
on the Stanley since last Decem-
Der The young man is on his
way home to his mother and sis
ter in California. He is an cleo
trician, and is anxious to get home
before the jobs are all gone.
Coming in the last draft, young
Swanson lacked few hours of
seeing trench service. but worked
with Company E, 315th engineers,
with the Goth division. They
were in France and in Germany.
and in the latter country directed
the work Of German citizens,
whom the United States hired to
help make the roads passible for
our trucks. After the continuous
rain and snow of the winter, there
seemed to be no bottom to the
roads.
Speaking of the attitude of the
Germans towards our boys, Swan
son says that it was even better
than that of the French after the
signing of the armistice, probably
as a matter of policy, realizing
that they were in hands of the
enemy, and that good treatment
of the soldiers might be to their
interest.
G. A. Swanson, the father, has
been waiting for about three weeks
for the consummation of a deal
pending the sale of the Lord By
ron, during which time the mine
has not had air, and he was COM
PEELED to cease operation.

Natures w ay

All summer long, to save the
grass, 1 kept the lawn we'll wetted
down; The grass all shriveled up,
alas! and changed from green to
gray and brown. I worked nine
hydrants over time and used three
miles of garden hose, for sprinklers
squandered many dime, and
still the grass turned up its toes.
"Your grass is dead" the neigh
bors said; you'll have to seed it
down once more; the life from all
the roots is sped, the lawns as
barren as floor" And then one
night there came rain, the kind
we had when l was young; j.
Pluvius grew safe and sane, and
from the rain tank knocked the
bung. And then the grass once
more showed life, the green came
back, that long was gone; and l
and Susan Jane, my wife, turned
Joyous handsprings on the lawn.

Good School System
in the Philippines

1t is pointed out there is every
reason for the literacy of the
Philippines to be still higher with
in the next few years, through the
action of the Philippine Legislature
at its last session in voting 30,
900, 900 pesos to extend the educa-
tional system SO that schools will
be available to every child and
youth in the Philippines.
The percentage of literacy in
the Philippines, as shown by the
census just completed. is almost as
high as that of some of the south
ern states of the union, higher
than that of Greece, Italy, Portu-
gal, Roumania and Servia. 1t is
also higher than that of any OF the
new countries whose indepen-
dence is being recognized by the
allies.
Between 1912 and 1918 the to-
tai number of children in school
increased from 100000 to $4,000,
gain of 81 per cent in six years.
The number of high school stu
dents reached 10000, a gain of
220 per cent.
The Philippine Legislature, COM
posed entirely of Filipinos, now
supports 400 schools, with
teaching force of 12,303 teachers
All instruction is in English, and
will continue to be if independence
is granted. A large number of
additional American teachers are
to be employed and sent to the
Philippines within the next year.
All of the expense of education is
being paid by the Philippine gov
ernment.

Miss Edna Dobbins, who was
seriously injured in a fall while
horseback riding in Nebraska, has
come to the home of her sister in
Denver, accompanied by her mo-
ther. The injured arm is much
better, but there is still some doubt
about the condition of the shou~
der, as the bandages must not be
removed for six weeks, and until
then it will not be known whether
or not it is right. 1t requires a
lot of patience to remain quiet
and wear bandages in either Ne
