He has taught and attended summer
school every year since his graua-
ton, thereby keeping in touch. with
the best school methods. Before go
ing to Mt. Pleasant he taught in dis
trict schools, and one year in grad
ed school. After graduation he came
to Saranac where he taught for four
years and here he proved to be one
of the NEST successful teachers of
the Saranac schools, and it was looked
upon as a community loss when it was
learned that he was to 60 to the Ionia
schools this year.
Mr.. Dalton is a bern teacher and he
has faculty of organizing and di-
recting his pupils and brings results,
not in pushing himself ahead, but a
quiet, painstaking leader who brings
out the best there is in his scholars.
We want all voters of Ionia county
to Investigate these facts now before
the campaign starts, for this is no
campaign article-just boost for a
worthy man, because we believe 1t
will be for the interest of the schools
of Ionia county to have him elected
to the office CT commissioner of
schools next spring. All we ask is
that each voter gives HIS record and
the way he is handling the affairs of
his office careful investigation and we
all feel sure that all will agree with
the good judgment of the board in
electing him to this office.--Adv.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

II is frequently remarked by teach
ers, that large number of their pu-
pills show no interest in cultivating
general intelligence. They simply
want to learn how to perform some
job.
For instance, pupil at a very
prominent professional school reports
that recently her class was given a
course on the causes of the war. She
says that many of the students took no
sinterest in the subject whatever. They
figured they would not have to use it
in their work. They could not see
what good it would do, them. So
they just slipped through as easily
as they could. Many of them abso-
lutely flunked on it.
Even if those girls did not have to
teach the causes of the war as a part
of their work, the course would have
done them lot of good. 1t would
have set them to thinking, helped
them to appreciate good books, given
them a common meeting ground Of in
terest with intelligent people.
The possession of general intelli-
gence brings returns that people can
not forsee. 1t helps them give a gem
eral impression of education and Gull

qualifications to take up important
work are frequently estimated by the
amount Of general intelligence he
possesses.
A man might not have to use gen
eral intelligence in his particular field
Of effort. But it is safe to assume
that people who are mentally alert and
desire to pick up general information,
will be equally thorough in the study
of their own calling. There is con
slant complaint in business offices
that the school graduates know me-
thing except the bare routine Of their
work. They have never made effort
to develop brain power by grasping
bigger subjects. So let not the stu
dents despise a subject because they
can't see how they are going &c use it
in their business.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Latest reports from the peace con-
ference indicate that the constitution
of the proposed league OF nations win
leave each government free to make
its own decisions. The league will
take action against any nation that
refuses to abide by its DEGREES. But
each government would decide for it
self whether it would send its army or
navy to help enforce these decisions.
A league thus organized would not
be open to the objections that many
have seen in the plan.
For some years of course such a
league would be experimental. It's
success would depend upon the de-
gree of harmony with which the ma
tions work together. This govern
ment would not be likely to commit
itself in advance to support the de-
crees the league might pronounce.
But as time went on and the league
demonstrated its usefulness, there
would be a tendency for the nations
to back it up more and more firmly.
A league constituted as above sug-
gested, would command very powerful
forces even if it never went to war.

FIGHTING lNK FROM WESTERN FRONT FEATURE
OF THE VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN COUNTY
SALESMAN SULLIVAN IS
NOW QUALIFIED AS
BADGER FULLER

Although Ely has adopted nearly
all OF the Blue Laws" there is one
practice that continues to he a blot
on the otherwise bright and shining
record of the community and that is
the cruel sport of badger fighting. i"
Last night in front of the late Cap
itol saloon" one of these fierce and
bloodless battles was staged be-
tween weil-known dog and a saw
age specimen of badger of the
genus diploid-eonoid.
Many bets were laid as to the lie
suit of the fight between the dog
and the animal commonly known as
The bald badger So many of tho
bystanders, in fact. had money bet
on the fight that IL was almost i'm
possible to find man TO pull the
badger out OF the barrel in a fair
way in order not to give the dog the
advantage.
J. p. Sullivan. a travelling sales
man for the firm of Hamilton &
Brown. finally gave out the informa-
tion that he had not placed any mon
ey on the fight and he was allowed
TO handle the rope that would bring
the reluctant beast out into the
open.
The salesman grasped the rope
firmly, turned his back and dragged
vigorously on the hemp. when ont
bounded the badger and pursued the
astonished salesman down the
street He was rescued. however. by
willing friends and escorted to the
nearest resort of passed by the cen
sor' beverages. where his nerves
were soon auieted with the aid of
