Units.

We see human heroism broken into
units, and say, "This unit did little
might as we'll not have been." But
in this way We might break up n great
army into units; in this way we might
break the sunlight ihto fragments, and
think that this and the other might
he cheaply parted with. Let us rather
rnise a monument to the soldiers
whose brave hearts only kept the
ranks unbroken, and met death-a
monument to the faithful who were
not famous, and who are precious, as
the continuity OF the subeams Is pre-
c,ous though some Of them fall unseen
ond on barrenness.-George Eliot.

cations may be formed in many places
this year. In unity there is strength.
We need it and must have it. Divided
neighborhoods never succeed, and
who profits by such conditions? We
know the children lose and most like
ly the adults as well. Let the people
of each school district lend helping
hand to the school. At this point we
urge the teachers to take an interest
in the community and community life.
1t is well to attend community gather
ings. Get acquainted.
The high cost of board is giving
some boards something to study about.
We are better off as to teachers than
some of our sister counties but we
have none to lose. Teachers are will
ing to pay the same as other people.
They do not however, feel that it is
justice when they. are asked ex-
tortionate prices for board, twelve
dollars week in some instances. Do
such communities deserve school :?
Is this good business?

MALLET CREEK LADY
SURPRISES SNEAK THIEF

Mrs. Lula D. Wilson of Mallet
Creek surprised sneak thief whoShad
entered her home on Wednesday af-
ternoon of this week, but owing to the
absence of men folk in the vicinity she
was unable to effect his arrest.
Mrs. Wilson was on her way to
Medina to attend the celebration and
had stopped at neighbors a short
distance away. From here she could
obtain an excellent view of her own
home and noticed a man enter the
yard, push thru the door and enter.
Fastening home she found the screen
door lock broken and finally located
the intruder hiding behind bedroom
door. She Immediately phoned to
Joe Bricker, who in turn sent in
call for Geo. Mckee, township con-
stable. Mckee was not at home and
the sheriff was summoned. When
this official arrived, however, no trace
of the thief could be found. Nothing
was reported missing.
The man was tall and slender of
build, about 80 years of age, dark
complexion and hair, wore blue coat
and slouch hat.
