AN interesting case Of long-distance
signaling by relaying is mentioned bv
Hcrudotus, in which it appears that
certain tidings were sent to NerXe' m
Asia by means of line Of beacon fires
arranged through the Greek islands.
"The ancients went further than sim
ply announcing prearraneed messages,
they had codes and sent long messages.
The Greeks signaled on one occasion
100 miles at one jump. This was from
Mount Chigri, 1893 feet, to Mount
Athos, $500 feet.
"Gallup's Hand Book of Military sig
mailing states that under favorable CON.
ditions the distance to which messages
may be sent and received is only limited

While this Is, perhaps, "a record. and

speculate as to how much signaling
was done and how it was done. T. Will

Popular successor of Augustus, spent
eleven years Of his reign ON Capri, ana
without coming to Rome directed most
successfully the affairs of the vast om-
pire. He even fOiled the conspiracy
of his trusted minister, Sejamus, who
was supposed to have general charge
of affairs after Tiberius retired to the
island.
Though Tiberius went to Capri an
old man. he was the actual ruler-em-
peror in fact-and his heavy hand was
felt all over the empire until the very
end. With regular news bulletins and
reports, received daily if need be, con
tanning confidential information, he
would be able TO issue instructions and

Possibly the Publica acta tSenate

Signaling by beacon seems too primi-

WAIT! PLEADS AUTO
N' LICENSE DEPARTMENT

Don't write to the state highway
department about your automobile
tags for 1919!
? Don't send in any money for IL
cense until you know what the right
amount is!
Wait until yellow envelope con-
tanning registration blank on which
is stamped the fee you must pay for
your particular make of car comes
to you through the mails!
These are the earnest requests Of
State Engineer w. H. Robinson, un-
der whose care the motor vehicle de-
partment was placed by the last leg
islature. In addition to being behind
about three months the work of IL
censing the automobiles is made
doubly difficult by the act of the legis.
lature in changing the schedule of IL
cense fees. The result is that the
new department is up to the neck in
work and does not have the time nor
the available stenographers to ans
wer the hundreds Of inquiries that
are daily pouring in asking informa-
ton about the registration of cars.
Under the new laws cars are to be
licensed on basis arrived at by con-
sidering the price, weight and horse
power. Long before the law was pass
ed Mr.. Robinson began querying the
various automobile manufacturers for
the necessary data in connection with
the various makes of cars. OF 106
letters sent out but 20 replies have
been received to date.
Seventy-two thousand envelopes ad-
dressed to the automobile owners of
1918 are now ready to be filled with
registration blanks and will be sent
out next week to the owners Of cars
whose makers have supplied the de-
partment with the requested informa-
tion. The first car load of tags will
be available March 25 and will be
distributed at once.
Meantime last years car owners
are asked not to write to the depart
ment but to wait until they receive
their registration blank from the de-
partment. People who have purchas-
ed cars since January will be
reached through the dealers from
whom they bought their cars.

keep on a sharp lookout for Hun

everything was just as light as day.

my wagon, about one hundred feet.
All I could do was to duck my head
and take it as it came. They were
after US worse than some of the other
men, because we hauled the supplies.
Ons night soldier came along on a
motorcycle shouting gas, gas. I was
soaking wet and colder than sam
hill, and had to put on that gas
mask, quick to, because if you didn't
you would not have to put it on any
more. Many a night have I cussed
those Germans. I seen an American
plane bring down a German plane.
They fought for about Is minutes.
The German plane fired first. The
American plane acted just as if she
was all in, came down nose first.
When he got close to the German
machine, he turned its direction and
opened fire on the German and down
he came, all on fire and burning fast.
I went into a cave once where there
two German officers and four pri-
Yates. They were all dead. One man
had his tongue sticking out of his
mouth. They had been dead about
two days. Now I hope that you Lin
ton people will think something Of
your home town boys when they re-
turn. You don't know what we had
to go through with. Since the war
stopped we have been cleaning up the
French towns, which the Germans
left 80 dirty. The Germans took all
the, French peoples horses, cattle
hogs, wagons and bicycles. I have
been in Luxembourg, Germany, and
all over France. When we get back
we want you folks to give US a big
blowout. ...

Cupid is mighty persevering

bark to this: Monday night, while
we were in the throes of one of the
worst storms of the year, the N. P.

miles north Of town. On that train
was a well-known Emmons county
girl, and the man Of her choice. A
wedding had been planned for that
particular date, and the wedding
came of according to schedule.
When the train stalled, the train
crew secured sleds to bring the pas
sengers to town. About II pm. Mr..
Ernest Prichard, Of Sioux City, Iowa,
and Miss Lessie Baker, Of Temvik,
arrived in Linton in the impressed
mode Of conveyance. Judge Tracy
was routed out and provided the
necessary license. Rev. Swaney was
likewise reused from his slumber.

HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW


Hattie McCulley was absent tho
first part Of the week because Of i'll
ness.
Jane Rudd was absent several days
this week.
Elon Wells was snowbound in the
country Monday.
Phrene and Winifred thought they
had contracted sleeping sickness over
Sunday and decided not to come to
school Monday forenoon. 1t was
really the effects of the last dance.
Macy Thompson of the sixth grade
was absent Monday afternoon.
Clara Schweitzer was i'll last week,
but we know it wasn't spring fever.
Cecil Gillespie has been absens
from the fifth grade on account of
illness.
Harold Crowley was another ab-
sentse, Monday and Tuesday.
Even the blizzard Monday failed
to spoil the third and fourth grades
record. Every pupil expects to enjoy
half holiday Friday.
In order to reach school in time
Monday morning, Gladys 5andidgs
rode four miles thru the storm on
horseback.
Mary Hagla left the fifth grade to
attend school in Ipswich.
Opal and Phrene thought they had
the measles, Monday afternoon, but
Mr.. Calm made an examination and
decided it was only imagination.
Monday morning Mr.. Calm in
quired how many had stayed at the
dance after twelve O'CLOCK. The
dance happened to be out at that
time and we were wondering if he
arose in the wee sma' hours of the
morning and went to see how many
stayed after two o'clock as he said
he would.
John Krieg, John Briggs. John
Backhaus, Walter Krick, and Emil
Quaschnick have left school for the
spring work on the farms.
Mr.. Calm announced last wsek
that on Friday morning he would
hold parents meeting and talk to
them on the subject: "The Impor-
tance of Sleep" Well! He had the
meeting and we learned the value
of sleep, but the parents were a
minus quantity.
Most Of the lower grades were
dismissed at half past two, Monday
afternoon, because of the storm.
The third and fourth Grade heii
spelling match last Friday. The
boys against the girls. Neither s;-.
won as both Mary Irene Irvine and
Leon Vosseler remained standing
when school was dismissed.
Last week someone heard Maude
sadly remark that she believed she
had spring fever. Cheer up, Maude,
that's only sign of laziness.
Oscar Lucks gave very interest
ing talk on the "Life of President
Wilson," for opening exercises in the
sixth and seventh grade Monday.
The fifth grade made thorough
study of coffee and wrote several in
teresting compositions on the sub
ject.
