Post-Dispatch Gives Space to
the High School.

The High School had conteu-
plated publishing the School
News as it did some two years
past; but through an investiga-
ton of the present conditions
the School found it impossible to
publish same. The Post-Dis-
patch, seeing the circumstances
as the School saw it, has agreed
through the loyalty Of it's editor
to give a column of it's space to
the High School each week.
The pupils of the High School
are going to try to show their
appreciation Of this gifNby MAX
ing this one of the most interest
ing columns in the paper. Each
week the School will have in the
column nothing but the most i'm
portant news which will be an
inspiration as well as a benefit
to every individual in our
city.
The grades of the High School
this week elected their editors
and they come as follows:
c. Y. Coley, Editor-in-Chi
Florence Covington, Eleventh
Grade.
Frank Copeland, Tenth Grader
Margaret McAulay, * Ninth
Grade. ,f' ~ nv.
Robert Covington, Eighth
Grade.
Sara Everett, Seventh Grade.
We ask that each subscriber
read this column and we feel
that he will realize as never be-
fore that the Road to the
Golden Age is through the
School House,

NAVY men nSTAND BY'
TO AID FIFTH LOAN
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. May 8.-An hands
in the navy were piped to quarters or
standing by for navy day" in the
victory loan campaign today, when
the bond sales were expected to re-
ceive substantial boost as a result
of the sea fighters challenge to the
country to match the navy" Spe-
cial demonstrations have been ar
ranged in most places and the navy's
slogan will be the appeal used to
urge citizens everywhere to buy
bonds.
This morning the navy's subscrip-
tion to the loan was more than $12,-
100000, which is considered a better
record than for the corresponding
time in the fourth loan because of
the reduced personnel. Competition
among the different ships is keen and
the battleship Utah with $24, sub
scribed. is being closely pressed for
honors. The navy yard forces also
are in close contest, the Philadelphia
and Mare island plants both having
passed the million dollar mark with
the former leading all yards by $751;
900.
The first subscription from Alaska
was reported last night. the U. 8. s.
Vicksburg at Juneau having sub
scribed for $4,000 of bonds.

SHOWS DECREASE

WASHINGTON, May Sailing on

slowing down of wartime manufactur-

Director General Hines in connection
with his explanation Of the govern
ment deficit of $192,OO0,000 in opera
ton of railroads for the first three
months Of the year.
In March, the railroads recorded 2S,-
952 million ton miles," as compared
with 37,785 million in march last year.
A ton mile" represents the hauling of
one ton one mile, and is a traffic unit
In February the roads hauled 25,681,-
100000 ton miles as compared with
29,687 100000 in the same month last
year and in January they hauled S0,-
383,000,000 or more than the 27.619,-
100000 Of January, 1918.
1T is impossible on the basis Of
these three months to predict the re-
suits for the year as a WHOLE" said Mr..
Hines in a statement, although it Is
believed the results will be very much
less unfavorable as IL, as seems to be
generally anticipated, there shall be
an important resumption of business
later in the year, especially If the great
crops now in prospect shall be real

"On the trip in the west which ]
have just completed I found the most
pronounced optimism on the part of
business and agricultural interests
generally, which gives a reasonable
basis for hoping for an enlarged bust.

to the railroads since handling 1t
should not correspondingly increase
their costs. But while it is proper to
mention these factors, it must be ad

operations for the remainder of this

followed them to the Velse river.

but our division stood fast. We then
had a little rest, and on the seventh Of
September we took over the front
line trenches at ST. Mihiel. On the
twelfth we again went over and gave
the pups an awful whipping, making
their crack Prussian Guard division
wish they had never left Prussia. We
came out of there the fifteenth of
September and on the twenty-sixth
