WILSON'S WORDS i

CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Irain-A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end Of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf Of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
he delightful city Of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy Of the League, and 1t was
in that state, perhaps, that he did lis
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, Calfornia's former
governor, now her United States soma
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920 had before the ar
rival Of President Wilson, convinced
great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. H. had
blamed the president fo-' assenting to
the possession by Japan of the PENN
sula of Shan Tung in China.

Is It True?

Yes; there is a fine Victrola on the
first floor of our High School Bu ing
for the special enjoymen of the young
er pupils.
Knowing the educative value of giving
the best of music at all times even to the
smaller children, the teachers of the first
floor spoke to Miss Lillian kefauver.
She very graciously gave the benefit
which was derived from her May concert
which was so much enjoyed by all, to-
wards the purchase of Victrola for the
lower grades.
In the near future we hope to have an
entertainment for the further benefit of
our Victrola fund.-
Every patron of the school and every
one interested in the best development
of the youth of our community should
plan to assist in this worthy cause.
If child's mind is filled with the bes
there is no room for the undesirable.
Those who wish to contribute privately
for the purchase of additional records
can do so by sending their contributions

GIRLS WHO USE CUSS WORDS
Made by the Members of
Graduating Class.

II has long been the fashion at col
IegeS and schools to take n census Of
graduating classes to determine such
vital facts as these:
What Is your favOrite flower? How
tall are you? DO you smoke? Are
you IL prohibitionist?
At a girls seminary recent inquiry
was more sweeping. To the interroga-
tion: "Do YOU swearT 200 of the 215
girls answered yes.
But admitting that they swear is
not proof that these feminine lips do
utter oaths. SO at least says the law
in New York state, writes "Griant" in
the Philadelphia Press.
-Four or five people" must hear you
swear. not for second or two, but
for about five minutes"-that's the
law in North Carolina.
Down in Alabama they don't expect
man to swear from the housetops
but the law says that If three or four
persons hear you just once, good
night
IN Tennessee 1t is not necessary to
repeat the offensive words when a
rulprit is indicted for swearing.
saw on the veranda of a country
club seventeen women of whom twelve
were drinking an Intoxicating liquor
and seven were smoking cigarettes.
But if that census at the girls semi
nary is an index, more women swear
than daily with John BarleycOrn or
Lady Nicotine.
Query: Why do women insist on
being so much like men?

ONE REASON WHY
PRICES ARE HIGH
It's the Fault of the Paper Dollar.

When a man has but $100 in bank
and issues three 90-day notes for 500
each, based on the bank deposit as Sc
curity, the value of those notes soon
falls very decidedly. In other words,
the average creditor would feel that
he ought to have two or even three
such notes before he had paper suffi'
cient to equal the value of that 500
In gold that lies in the bank.
This is approximately what has hap
pened with the worlds currency. So
much paper has been issued in the
form of notes, credits, bonds and SINH
lar promises to pay" that its value
when compared with actual food and
clothing and other necessities has
fallen tremendously. We express this
same idea the other way around by
saying "prices have gone up"
There Is no reason to expect rapid
retirement of paper promises-war
bonds the world over must run for
some years yet to come, and private
credits cannot be withdrawn soon.
Therefore this cause of high prices
will probably be with us for some time
yet-several years, in fact.
In the case of farm crops, at least,
there is another very good reason why
prices are high. Many more mouths
are to be fed than formerly and this
condition also is likely to persist. War
devastated fields cannot immediately
regain their former productivity. The
farmer seems to be secure In the as
surance of good crop prices for a long
time to come.

President ImprOvin8.

Reports from Washington are to the
effect that President Woodrow Wilson is
recovering gradually. A dispatch dated
Sept. 80 says:
After the first good nights rest he
has had since he was taken ill, the Presi-
dent was up most of the day and was
permitted by DR.. Grayson to give his
attention for short while to pressing
executive matters. He signed several
minor bills and resolutions, sent some
nominations to the Senate and dictated
a few letters. During the afternoon he
took another automobile ride and seemed
to enjoy it thoroughly.

Should Extend Platform.

The platform or walk along the W West-
ern Maryland railroad at the depot is
entirely too short for the accommodation
of the heavy Sunday passenger trains.
Persons on three or four coaches wish
ing to get off the train must either pa
rade through that many coaches or make
jump of about three feet from the
step to the ground. In making the jump
last Sunday lady fell and injured her
self badly.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

They are good and safe Investment
and in our judgment will sell at premium
within year.
Do not be persuaded to exchange your
Liberty Bonds for other stocks, bonds or
property.
Patriotism is just as necessary now as
ever. If you sell your Liberty Bonds
below par you are assisting in injuring
the financial credit of your country. If
you must sell, sell for cash. There is a
