TEACHERS ASSIGNED ID THEIR PLACES
 IN PUBLIC SCHOOL

The second week of the Clifton Public schools 1919-1920 term finds all the teachers assigned to their reg uIar places and the pupils settled own for the school work in earnest. One of the important features of the school work this year is the kind, garten department.
 With the opening of the city schools last Monday, three kindergartens were started, under direction of Miss Cummings at South Clifton, Miss Buckins at Chase Creek and Miss Muriel Henderson at North Clifton.
 There are two sessions each day, from nine o'clock to eleven and one to three o'clock, including children between ages of four and half and six years.
 The Board of Education and Ex, ecutives announce that the maximum enrolment will be fifty in each school, twenty five for a session. The week s registration is very encouraging, which proves that Clifton parents are anxious for their children to have this early training. Parents are urg- ed to enroll their children in their district.

SQUABBLE OVER CITY WALLS
People of Canton, China, Divided Over
Question Which the Progressives
Have Put Forward.

There's tempest in a teapot" and
a China teapot at that, over the pro-
posal in Canton, China, to take down
the ancient city walls. Shades Of our
ancestors" say some of the Cantonese,
sit is sacrilege. 1t Is an evil plan
inspired by foreign devils. Never has
1t been done. Never shall it be. If
our forefathers got along with city
walls, so should we."
Such feeling against removal OF the
walls is expressed In the form OF a
protest by some of the members OF the
Merchants guild to the civil governor,
according to the Canton Times, which
is for the removal of the walls ION
account of the congestion of population
and Of facilitating communications in
the city," and because public health
demands wider roads and more air for
the people,"
After admitting that the protest Is
based on the grounds that demolition
Of homes along the walls would deprive
hundreds of thousands of their liveli-
hood" the Times, with true Oriental in
difference as to the effect OF such treat
ment on said gentry, says: IF the
gentry think otherwise they should be
dumped into the river"

The Mansfield Collection.

Mrs. Richard Mansfield has given to
the National museum at Washington,
and it has been arranged in eight
cases for exhibition, the costumes, ar
NOR jewels, and other articles of dress
that her husband wore upon the stage
in his many parts. Mansfield was ex-
acting about the historical accuracy OF
his costumes, where it was possible, as
well as about the quality of the stuffs
and the fashions in which they were
made. Hence the collection has GER
tain value apart from associations
with him and with the American the

HoLYoKE HAS LOST HONOR
Town Officially Declared Not to Have
Been the Birthplace Of Junius
Spencer Morgan.

Holyoke, Mass, which has long
claimed the honor of being the birth
place of Junius Spencer Morgan, grand
father of the present ]. P. Morgan, has
been shOrn of this fame by the town
of West Springfield. This decision has
been rendered by the Connecticut Val
ley Historical society.
The explanation lies in the fact that
the present city of HOlyOke was for
merly a part of the town of West
Springfield and that, contrary to Holy
oke's contention, and the assumption
of the Morgan family, the site of the
ancestral home of Junius Spencer Nor
gan is still included within the bOun-
diaries of West Springfield, though by
d narrow margin.
The present ]. P. Morgan received an
opportunity to perpetuate family his
tory in West Springfield through the in
strumentality of any public gift which
appealed to his fancy. Though Mr..
Morgan was unresponsive, the contest
between Holyoke and West Springfield
for birthplace honOrs progressed mer-
rily and was settled only recently.

time, says the New York Commercial
This would be fine chance for ex-
change of products II shipping were
available. and It soon will be. New
York city needs anthracite and can get
a surplus of bituminous coal. Eng
land needs the latter and can spare
the former. In England most OF the
people do not know how to burn an
thracite. New Workers are ignorant
of the way to use bituminous coal. the
English persist in using open CRATES
for heating rooms, and find 1t hard
to make anthracite burn In them. In
New York the open CRATE is found only
in the homes of the wealthy. Eng.
land shivers with plenty Of anthracite
in sight, while New York Is threat
ened with a famine Of domestic sizes
of anthracite. Each regards the
other as pig-headed because neither
knows how to use the fuel available.
It's an odd world.

BEGIN TO RENEW FORESTS
ENGLAND and Scotland Have Already
Started to Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace is concluded. but
are doing it now. Never before have
those countries been so bare of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ton factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful, but those which are now be-
ing provided for will be primarily USE
full and incidentally ornamental, says
Robert III. Moulton in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine.
In the United States we are not IN
so much need of tree planting as they
are in the British isles. But there are
two kinds of timber which the war
demand has greatly depleted, and
they are kinds Of much Importance
locust and black walnut.
There is another point to be consid-
cred in the planting of these trees:
They can be grown on sandy tracts OF
land which are now considered of no
value, and thus reclaim the land.
An excellent illustration of what can
be accomplished in the way OF reclaim
ing useless land through the planting
of trees has been carried out during
the last six or eight years by res
ident of Whiteside county, Illinois. In
these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning
some 20 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert of Sahara, into
flourishing forest. Nor is that all;
for this forest, acting as sand bind
err, has been the means of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads of the
drifting sand, and the total result be-
ing that the farm has increased sew
eral times in value. The sandy tracts,
which, before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to $500 an
acre.

rhree French REPUBLICS.

The French were not able to perma-
nently establish a republic until they
had tried three times to do so. The
anarchy of the French revolution pro-
duced Napoleon Bonaparte, as first
consul, and then as emperor. The rev.
oIutiOn of 1913 resulted in Napoleon
III as hereditary emperor of the
French by an almost unanimous vote
in November, 1852. The third republic
was a result of the Franco-Prussian
war and the king of Prussia was pro-
claimed emperor Of the Germans, Sep
tember 4, 1870. and his coronation took
place at Versailles January is, 1871.
The third French republic was saved
from destruction by the ability and ae-
tivity Of Louis Adolphe Theirs. Like
CavOur he carried his country safely
through a great crisis.

CHANCE FOR COAL EXCHANGE
Britain Has Too Much Anthracite and
New York Has q Surplus Of
Rituminous.

In England the coal controller
is trying to induce the people to burn
anthracite in place of bituminous coal.
He offers to exchange two tons Of
large anthracite for every ton Of b.
luminous coal that consumers have on
hand. In the eastern United States
the fuel administration has been try
ing TO get consumers to use bituminOus
coal in place Of anthracite. Welsh
anthracite mines are operating on part

chIna's Peanut Industry.

Before the war the peanut industry
Of China had reached its highest point
in it's relation to the foreign export
trade. The annual exports then were
about 10000 tons of shelled peanuts
and about $4,000 tons of oil. More than
40 per cent of these amounts went
from the port Of Tsngtau, as Shan
tung has become the largest peanut
producing province Of China.

TAFT OFFERS SOLUTION.

Ex-President Taft's letter to various republican senators offers way for them to get out of an embarrassing situation into which they have carried themselves in their opposition to the League of Nations. It re- mains to be seen whether or not they will ac- cept his suggestions.
 Mr. Roots attempt to save the day has apparently been complete failure. Taking charge after Mr. Lodge had hopelessly mud ded the affair, he himself fell into pitfalls and was soon inextricably involved.
 Now comes MT. Taft with his nterpre- tations offer. Perhaps it will serve its pur- pose, that of giving the opposition senators a chance to withdraw. It is none too graceful nor .dignifed but these senators are not ex- actly in a position to choose their manner of retirement, and since acquiescence is better than complete defeat, they will probably choose the former.
 Mr. Taft's raking criticism of President Wilson for alleged partisan conduct in shap- ing the governments policies is beside the mark No leader save MT. Wilson had the vision to make practical a League to enforce world peace, and if he chose assistants who would work with him to get it adopted by the world and work his way rather than select from party which had shown not the slight est sympathy for these plans, who should say that he was wrong7
 Mir. Taft's criticism only brings out more forcibly the contention that most of the re- publican opposition is based on an anti-Wilson sentiment rather than on any basic objections to the principles upheld by the covenant of the League of Nations It is matter of politics and not principles.
 He, too, feels the situation and protests against Mir. Wilson gobbling all the glory, but he doesn't allow his partisanship to carry him to the extreme of condemning the Lea gue of Nations. He recognizes the import ance it has to the world The opposition senators will be we'll advised if they heed the ex-Presidents warming and follow his ad- monitions.

STAY ON THE PEAKS.

Is it the purpose of the republican mem bers of the United States senate to force the American government to assume the identical position which it occupied prior to the war In their fanatical hatred of MT. Wilson and opposition to the league of nations they seem to have lost sight of the things most forcibly demonstrated by the war;
 In great speech recently delivered by Premier Lloyd George before the house of commons, he said, "We have been living in a sheltered valley for generations. We have been too comfortable, too indulgent; many, perhaps, too selfish. and the stern hand of Fate has scourged us to an elevation Where we can see the everlasting things that matter for nation-the great peaks we had forgot ten, of Honor, Duty Patriotism, and clad in glittering white, the towering pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like rugged finger to heaven"
 Thus he sets forth nobly the lesson of the war to England. It does not less fitly apply to the United States For years before the war; out of respect for tradition growing out of circumstances long since obliterated by modern developments and rapid strides of sciences, America shrank from assuming the obligations incurred by the position which she held in the brotherhood of nations Senator Johnson of California, once remarked that we had become soft people. We wanted to continue to enjoy the fruits of liberty but we could not bear the thot of the great sacrifice necessary for maintaining them.
 War showed us, too, the things that mat ter. For them we sent our millions of men across the seas. Now that they are returned home, that for the present we possess those things, are we to drop back into the old rut until it again becomes necessary to fight to preserve them We were willing to participate in European war to preserve the liberty of the world, should we be less willing to lend our moral support to Europe in peace for that same purpose It is less costly both in human lives and treasure to underwrite peace than war
 As we return to the sheltered valley, let us not forget the peaks. Having insisted upon our privileges, we must remember our obligations. Failure to do so would be fatal The summons to duty is in the memory of the last two years.

STATE COUNCIL APPEALING FOR
 FEDERAL HELP
MONTANA STATE COUNCIL OF DE- TENSE APPEALS TO GOVERN. MENT FOR AID IN HELPING TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES RAGING IN WESTERN PART OF STATE

HELENA, Mont, July 26.-(P)- Notwithstanding the recent heavy rains which fell for several hours in tie western part of this state and northern Idaho the forest fires in that region continue as strong as ever. It was thot, at first, that the rains would stop the further ad vance of the flames but they have broken out anew, and now seem stronger than ever.
 Realizing ,he ser'cusress oc the situation, the state council of de. fense sent an urgent appeal to the government today requesting federal aid be rendered immediately in the fight on the fires. In many places the fires are beyond all control and large property loss is bound to re. suit. It is also feared that the fires may reach some of the small towns in the threatened area and wipe them off the map.
 One hundred fire fighters, endeav- bring to stop the flames in Selway forest were trapped this morning and succeeded in escaping only by leaping into a stream where they remained, in water up to their necks, until the fire had passed.
