TURN CAVES INTO DWELLINGS
High Rents Drive Many People Of
Rome, Italy, to Take Refuge
in the Rocks.

"Cave men" relies of prehistoric
days of human housing, live In Rome
POLITICALLY described as the cradle
of civillzation--slde by side with IN
stitutions of art and learning.
The caves are under the very
shadow of the British Art school and
the Italian College Of Modern Arts.
Within short distance is the ma
tional stadium. On the other side
of them is the Porta del Populo,
through which before the days Of
railways all pilgrims TO Rome
passed.
The reversion Of Romans to the
caves is not retrogression, II Is eva
sion. Rents IN Rome have been so
extortionately high that these Ro-
mans have sought refuge IN the tufa
rocks of Rome. All efforts of the
municipal police TO eject the tenants
from the caves have failed. The
cave men" would go away, but re-
turn as soon as the attention Of thu
police turned To another direction.

Tie chief purpose of the League of
Nations is 10 Keep the world in
state Of peace. Another way OF ex-
Is designed 10 prevent wars
We have just finished the greatest.
which Is to say the most horrible, of
oil conflicts betwecn nations. We
have won a glorious victory. But that
victory will he wasted unless this war
has made the nations ready to
put aside their differences aud CO.
operate to end war forever.
II Is not enough. however, to pro.
vide for the prevention of wars and
the settlement of disputes after they
have arisen We must foresee causes
Of trouble and remove them before
they have reached nm acute stage
Hence there must be provision for fire
league for exchange of Information
for agreement on common policies and
for tie gradual formation Of rules Of
international law which AT present are
uncertain and incomplete.
The representatives OF the great
free naiions which won the war have
met nj Paris and. after long consulla-
ton, have drawn an agreement which
they believe will accomplish these
ends. AT the very least II will set in
motion great changes which viii re
suit ia universal benefit to ali man
kind. This agreement is called the
Covenant OF the League of Nations
and II is II part of the peace treaty.
There will be no League worth talk
ing nbout, however. unless tie United
States Is d member. The decision rs
to whether the United States shall
Join rests with our Senate. The Scna-
tors, chosen by the people, Will in the
end vote ms the people desire. For
this reason the people themselves Will
decide whether or not the United
Suites will join the league. In this
question every citizen should have q
voice. He or she can express opinion
either by writing direct to senators
by letters TO the newspapers, by
speeches In his lodge or local union oil

N. C.-FOUR DRIVEN BY FORD
MOTORS

The Ford Motor Company has just
received official advice from the
Navy Department that it was four
Ford Liberty Motors, all built in
the Ford Motor Company's shops
at Detroit, which furnished the
power that drove the N. C.-Four to
victory in its recent record break
ing flight across the Atlantic from
Trepassey, Newfoundland to Ply
mouth, England, distance of 1000
miles. They were regular stock
motors built during the war as a
part of the Ford Liberty Motor pro-
duction.
Upon his arrival in Lisbon, Portu-
gal, Lieutenant Commander Read,
said, "The engines functioned per-
fectly all the way from America
to Portugal" And American Naval
Officers who thoroughly inspected
the N. C.-Four upon its arrival
at Plymouth, England, stated that
the big seaplane was in even better
condition than when it left America.
The N. C.-Four fight, which has
meant triumph for America en-
cheering skill, also adds another
record to Ford achievement.

SMALLPOX-LOOK OUT!

John A. Spohn came into The
Democrat office Tuesday morning,
hunting for a man who would go
out in the country and nurse a
smallpox patient. Mr.. Spohn had
not learned the name of the small
pox victim, but gave US the fol-
lowing statement of the matter so
far as he knew it:
1t appears that man came
along and was hired by a thresh-
ing outfit operating some three
miles southeast of Floris. How
long the man had been with the
threshing crew is not known, but
one day he complained of being
sick, and the "boss" told him to
go into the dugout close by and
keep out of the sun and he would
get better. He went into the
dugout and little more was thought
of the matter until the next morn
ing, when some of the force went
into the dugout to see how he
was getting along, and found him
badly broken out with smallpox.
The crew became panic-striken and
went away, leaving the man alone
to wrestle with the disease.
We hope that some capable nurse
can be secured and the sick man
pull through all right.-Beaver

We expect to have a very good
team but it would be better and
make the team much stronger if
more boys would come out and
practice. If enough come out a
second team will be formed and
some good games scheduled for
them as we'll as the first team.
During the first evening of foot
ball practice, Nolen Bond hurt his
shoulder. On Monday evening
Robert Ellis had his arm twisted
in football practice.
The High School has only seven
typewriters, but since many stud
ents wish to take this subject,
two new machines have been order
ed. The typewriting class has an
enrolment of 81 at this time.
The music classes will be start
ed this week. There will be a
class in music appreciation the 9Th
hour and the glee clubs and chorus
will meet twice a week. The
girls glee club will meet at the
eight period and the boys at 8:15
in the morning.
George Spradling and Charlotte
Stammers typed the Bulletin notes
this week. They are members of
last years typewriting class.
Harold Bragg, one of the old
High School students has been visit
ing the different classes. He will
soon return to California, where
he and his brother expect to take
up their studies in University
at Los Angeles.
There are more than fifty new
students enrolled in the High
School this year.
Some of these graduated from the
Liberal Pubic Schools. Some came
from the surrounding districts, while
few, Nova Dickerson, Odell Ma
honey and Albert Augerot, who
were in the service of their country
during the war, have enrolled again.
There are many new students in
High School and practically all of
them come from the surrounding
country districts. The new stud
ents are still enrolling and it is
thought that after Christmas when
the new class graduates into High
School that there will be over two
hundred and fifty altogether.
The floors of the High School
were oiled during the summer and
it improves the appearance of the
building very much. The Com
mercial room has been divided by
glass partition, one room being
used as the Typewriting room. A
large cabinet has been built in the
Domestic Science room which en-
ables the girls to take better care
of their equipment.
Liberal will play its first game
of football this season, September
26th. The game will be with
Hooker. We do not know what to
expect from Hooker as this is the
first year Hooker ever played foot
ball.
Liberal will play Pratt October
