GERMAN TAUGHT IN
 1 MILWAUKEE SCHOOL

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 24.-The teaching of the German language in Milwaukee grade schools may dis appear entirely when the new sem- ester begins in February. In only one school in the city now is German being taught and under the resolu- tion of the school board ebolishing foreign language instruction, it would be discontinued at the end of the term in June.
 In 1916 200 teachers were employ ed to give instruction in the German language, and 30,000 pupils and at the end ofs191S only one teacher was employed to instruct 4o0 pupils in the German language.
 One of the final instances in con nection with the elimination of Cor man instruction came with the recent announcement that Leo Stern, assis- tant superintendent of schools in charge of the foreign language de- rartment. had resigned. The school board last August voted to abolish the foreign language department, at the end os the present year. MT. Sterns term expires June 3O MT. Stern in his letter to the school board said that after a service of 35 years in the Milwaukee schools, he felt that he was entitled to a rest"
 MT. Stern was president of the Wis cCnsin branch of the German-Amer- ican alliance from the time of it's or ganization in 1906 until it was dis banded in 1917. He was. also at one time a vice president of the national organization.

MIRACLES SEEN IN
 TEXAS OIL FIELDS

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 24.-Some of tho west Texas farmers who deserted their homes last summer in pitiful white lines of old prairie wagons arc now going back in automobiles. Driv" en out by three-year drought, they are going back as oil men.
 Stretches of land where the drought had virtually withered every leaf of heartened farmers departed for the cotton fields and more prosperous sections, are within the new oil dis trict.
 Some of the farmers who struggled almost penniless from the "parcheG zone few months ago can quality as oil magnates, according to Vance Muse of the Fort Worth Chamber Qf Commerce, who has just completed a tour of towns in Ranger, Eastland, Cisco, Breckenridge. DeLeon, Moran, German ard other towns in the heart of the new oil district. He says the population in many counties, almost completely deserted last summer, has reached unprecedented figures.
 Leases are being sold for few acres at vastly larger sums than entire farms would have brought year ago and enormous investments have been made.
 The legislature had expected to adopt measures for relief of drought sufferers, but since the discovery of oil little interest has been shown in the proposed action. There have been abundant fall rains that assured crops in districts outside the oil territory.

Teutons in History.

The term Teuton is of Latin origin. In ancient times the part of Europe now embraced in Germany was called Germania, and one of the principal tribes of the country was called by the civilized Romans Teutons, just as we speak of the Apache Indian. Being a fierce and warlike people they gave the Romans great deal of trouble, and ls they were the dominant tribe of that region the name bf Teutons gradually came to be applied to all the people oc- capying what was called Germania. It has survived in the form of TeutOns.

BOOST PINE BLUFF.

opportunity KNOCKS put once. oOme- times she doesn't knock very loud at that. But she is knocking now, knock ing at the door of the nation and bang ing at Pine Bluffs front door. And with little cooperation among the business men of the city, a little plan ming by the city fathers and lots of pulling by the people in general there is no reason why Pine Bluff shouldn't lead the cities of the state in this cor1- ing era of progressiveness.
 The United States is to feed the world, and there isn't better agricul- tural land anywhere in the country than there is around here.
 Business needs rejuvination and the boys are coming back with youth and vigorous health, two of the great est assets in the world to any busi- ness.
 Good roads mean more to city than the average merchant realizes and the commissioners of the county are already planning for their spring campaign of repair and extension.
 Aerial mail service and later, freight and passenger service prom ises to reorganize transportation problems. And suitable landing site has already been located here.
 Education is all important and Pine Bluff has recently opened one of the most magnificent school buildings in the state.
 There are dozens of advanced steps that have been taken here already. Why shouldn't Pine Bluff grow and prosper?
 Along the line of proposed activities why not consider the following:
 The negroes of the state have or ganized to uplift and educate their race in agricultural and industrial lines. Why not help?
 Somebody, either native son or some outsider, is going to operate a cotton mill in this part of the state, and that pretty soon. Why wait for the outsider to come?
 The Pine Bluff Public Library has been struggling for existance for some time. Every sane business man realizes the wonderful advantage of- fered a city by an up-to-date source of information. Why not boost the Library?
 There is no place in the city for a laboring man to go in the swelling summer time to spend quiet even- ing with his family and get breath of fresh air. Why not arrange for a city park before the city grows out so far that it will cost him half day pay to get out there and back?
 Nothing will mean as much toward steering the youngsters of the street in the right paths as a modern indus trial school for delinquents.
 Again, there are dozens of other lines of endeavor, just as worthy anc important, that could be enumerated
 Opportunity is knocking! Let hel in!
