Schools Must Not Play Base.
ball During School Hours.

The County Board of Education
voted unanimously at the regular
meeting, Saturday Oct. A, that
no teacher from this date be paid
for the time missed for match
games in baseball. Therefore,
those of you who have been
spending Friday afternoons in
allowing your pupils to spend the
time in playing baseball, meet
the disapproval of the County
Board.
The Board also voted that
teachers need not make up lost
time on Saturdays, expecting
pay for it. Saturday schools are
almost worthless. You should
want to give value received for
the children's money. If you
lose time make it up at end of
school, or don't charge for time
lost. Always show the time
taught on monthly report, If
you lose one day in a month you
have only taught 10 days.
Every teacher should bear in
mind the money being paid them
for teaching is the children's
money and not the County Boards.
Let all school match baseball
games be on Saturdays, or after
school hours. e
Respectfully,
w. l. Dixon.
Sec. Of Board of Education.

Community Center Doing Ef
fective Work At Union.

On taking charge of the free
school last winter to finish out
for Mitchell Dyer, we organized
a social center at this place by
electing Hyram Way, president,
Earnest Flatt, vice president,
John Chesney, secretary. Since
that time we have been meeting
on Thursday nights and working
in the interest of this school.
We believe that we have done
more to improve the school at
this place. than has ever been
done before, for the length of
time we have been working.
At these meetings we have
debates, recitations, speeches,
spelling battles and box suppers.
We had a box supper last Thurs
day night, and the girls brought
10 boxes, that brought $38. Is.
This fund will be used for the
good of this school, half of which
we gave to the baseball team.
The baseball team is now
ready to play against any team
in reach of them. The Baxter
team will be here next Friday,
and we anticipate good game.
We will give you a few of the
things we have done since we
have been meeting at this place.
We have seated the small room
of the building. Helped the
county to put window sashes and
lights in it, and some lights in
the larger building. Bought an
organ that cost $500, a lamp
that cost 81. so, and given $40. 0C
to baseball team. We are now
planning to help the county to dig
a cistern. Our part of the mon.
ey is already made up.
AS result of the work of the
Social Center we have now al
Union one of the best equipped
primary schools in Jackson coun.
ty.
We have an enrolment of 116,
with an average daily attendance
of about 100, most of which seem
to be interested in bringing uI
good lessons, and in the program
that is rendered every Thursday
night.
We desire to impress on the
good citizens of Jackson county
that if you want a good school ii
your community, organize your
community into a social center
and get behind your teacher
with your money, as the peopl,
are doing here.

INSURANCE FOR
Ex-soLDIERS AND SAILORS.
Soldiers and Sailors! Keep Your Gov

l f
The time For converting government
|! insurance into a permanent form is ap.
preaching. The plans are formulated
and the government is only delaying
the opening Of conversion until every
little detail is perfected. The govern
ment's plan is to have the system
working so smoothly that man may
send in his premium and his policy will
be sent to him within week.
This insurance is the result of a
great deal Of labor and effort on the
part Of some Of the biggest insurance
men in the United States. 1t is the
best insurance a man can buy and is
recognized and approved OF by all the
leading old line companies.
The government is offering six differ
ent policies which embrace substantial
Ily all insurance. They are: Ordinary
Life, Twenty and Thirty Payment Life,
Twenty and Thirty Year Endowment,
and Endowment at the age of sixty-two.
The present term insurance may be con-
verified into any one Of these policies
or may be split up into any number OF
them. This conversion may take place
any time within five years after peace
is officially proclaimed.
\ IT the present term insurance has
been lapsed through lack Of informa-
ton or any other reason it may be re-
instated by paying all back premiums.
No medical examination is required.
All ex-soldiers and sailors who are in
tercsted in obtaining information con-
cerniug their government insurance
may do so by calling or applying to
the Navy Recruiting Station, Des
Moincs, Iowa.

Mr.. c. T, Gooch,
| Otrumwa, Iowa.
Dear Parents:
| I think that it has been over week
since I wrote you scratch, but in that
| time have seen more of France than
expected to see. At that / cannot tel
all that 1 have seen Last week was
at the beautiful city Of Paris. Believe
me, it is some place and would not
have missed it for anything since have
been there.
| AS to people and the business it is
very much like any other place that is
large and all the time on the go. Street
cars, subways, omnibus, taxi, everything
in the way Of transportation. But Nthe
| big scenes of life are their historic and
memorial buildings. The buildings once
one has seen them are a knockout.
The travel from here to Paris is not
as comfortable as on the trains in the
States. But since that we were going
to Paris we did not mind the way G
had to travel at all.
Leaving at 10:45 in the evening we
arrived at Paris the next morning at
700 a. m. We were lost birds in Paris
We wandered about for about an hour
without finding what we were looking
for. Then after being tired Of looking
around we finally caught a taxi and
rode up to the A. p. M. AS usual we
were on the wrong side Of the town to
find anything. Then we went on our
way to find hotel, which was very easy
1, l..
cts The hotel was managed by a
woman, as are "a great many things
over here.
Then we started out to look the town
over and believe me we got lost two or
three times. the first time. It was three
days before we could get onto the ropes
of the palatial city. But by that time
we were ready to go back to town or I
should say the village of Nantes.
I don It know how many bridges Paris
has, but it has enough to count on your
fingers and your toes. And every one
had some kind Of statue work Of great
art. And the historic places were SIM
ply grand. I will have to start to read
history again before / can attempt to
tell anything about wat I saw at the
buildings and chu. shes that saw.

A man is free to go anywhere that
he pleases in Paris as long as money
will carry him. There is no prejudice
of any kind that I could see and for
the most part. the American Negro got
more respect than the whites and the
whites feel it, and they can not under
stand how such things could happen.

The latest suggestion of a suitable

Peck library grounds are the only

mortal. The Kilby Square, although
it is private property, has been recon,
