though we are working under eN-
tremely adverse circumstances we
believe We can put n winning team
in the League this year. The ambi-
tion of the high school girls is the
desire to establish a permanent team
consisting of members from the four
classes, so that there will never be
time when all the old team will go
out of school at the same time. This
will be done by selecting the best
players from the inter-class games to
make the regular team.
AT an assembly meeting of the stu
dents yesterday, the new grading sys-
tenn was explained. This system is
being adopted by the larger schools
throughout the country and is prov
ing successful as 1t gives the student
better idea of where he stands in
his work. The highest grade is s.
standing for superior A superior
student is not only regular in his
attendance and prompt in turning in
all work, but does all his work bet
ter than the average student and
does more than is asked for. The
next grade is A or average. The
student who is regular in attendance
and does all the work asked for in
an average way, receives this grade.
The next grade is I. or inferior. The
student who gets this grade is not
doing passing work, but is consider
ed by the teacher as being capable
of doing advance work If he works
hard. The grade of F. or failure, is
given to student who neither is
nor can do passing work. These are
the only grades that the students
are given and these grades will he

Hs Cssatgy and Then
Rob the Government

Bernard Langdon loved his country
SO much that a crippled leg did not
keep him from serving in the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces. and that love
was so great that he could not fight
for his country and then rob Uncle
Sam.
Eleven or twelve years ago, Bernard
crippled orphan, living with u broth
erin law In this city, was pupil az
st. Mary's Institute and worked ut odo
times at the Hawkeye Printing Com
pany, where he was 'japitor and gal
ley boy about the office. He was a
plucky lad and did not permit adver-
sity to keep him down. He gradual
ed from st. Mary's, completing q
business course, and went to work as
bookkeeper In the master mechanics
office of the M. 4 st. L.
Altho Bernard wore a brace on his
foot and had difficulty in getting
about. he decided to 60 out In this
world and improve his conditions. He
went west and when the United States
was drawn into the world conflict nc
was employed with an engineering
crew in Montana.
Bernard heard the call for men and
responded. He tried to enlist In ths
navy but was rejected because Of his
crippled condition. He came back te
Iowa and at Council Bluffs his for.
mer employer in Montana was a cap
tain of an engineering company II
training for foreign service.
Bernard begged the captain to aid
him in getting into the army He was
sent to a surgeon but the latter only
shook his head. Bernard persisted ane
finally was told that If he would go te
a hospital and pass successfully thru
an operation to straighten his leg he
might be accepted.
The lad had been to specialists time
and again but had always received the
same reply-nothing could be done
He did not hesitate. however, but took
the last chance open to get into Uncle
Sans service.
The surgeon took a great interest In
the boys case and the operation was
successful. Bernard recovered and
was accepted in the engineering corps.
He went to France and there for

Another instance of a smooth

described by Rude Auto Company en-

about 5 feet 5 inches in height and
weighing about $50 pounds. He was
light complexioned and plainly dressed,
He talked rather brokenly and it was
believed he was either Of Bohemian
or Polish descent.
Good Description Of Car.
The Rude company has hopes Of re-
covering the car because of the good
description it is able to furnish. The
missing car was of 1917 model and
bore license number 206s73, 1918. The
motor number is I6S337O. The car
was equipped with plain tires all
around, size S0x3k. The tires were
badly worn. the body was rather dull
and the hood cover had a new appear
ance.
Sheriff Henry was notified by the
Black Hawk county sheriff that q car

description sent out was seen to pass
thru that city Saturday evening.
