Miss Ollie Porterfeld of the Lam
beth school successfully conducted a
box supper and school entertainment
on last Saturday evening. Miss Pet
Tucker, County Home Demonstration
Agent, gave her illustrated lecture
on what might be termed "The Fly
Menace. The County Superintend-
emit was also present and discussed the
facts about the rural school of today
as disclosed by the recent survey made
under the direction of the State Su-
perintendent of Public Schools. A
large crowd was in attendance and the
meeting was in every way great
success. The proceeds from the box
supper will be used in purchasing
school equipment.
The County Superintendent is al
ways glad of the opportunity to use
his office as an employment agency.
He will be very glad to hear from
teachers desiring positions and from
school boards desiring teachers. By
proper cooperation of teachers and
school officials much assistance may
be given all concerned in getting to-
gether.
At the organization meeting of the
Pennington Board of Education last
week, Supt. W. L. Johns and his en-
tire staff of teachers were reelected
for next year. The board did not
trouble the teachers to write appli-
cations and its prompt action in re-
lieving all teachers of any embarrass-
ment in making plans for next year is
highly appreciated by the teachers
and the patrons as well and is de-
served tribute to the painstaking de-
votion of all the teachers to their
work. Mrs. Charles Schuttler who
did not desire to teach next year will
be relieved by Miss Alva Marie Clay.
Miss Clay completes her college course
at the State University this year and
in addition has had one year of very
successful experience as teacher in
the Doe Run high school.

IN SPRING BASEBALL
DO YOU RECALL HOW THEY

Almost Every American Home Had

This is the time in the year when
the baseban phenomenon is widely
heralded. The training camps of the
ball teams never fail to set the fans
to talking of some hitherto unknown
youngster who is a "Ty Cobb IL or
another Christy Matthewson, or the
possessor Of speed that would shame
Walter Johnson and all the other
speed kings.
The dope runs mighty good for a
month maybe. Then something hap
pens. The phenom begins to slip.
Sometimes he finally makes a pretty
good ball player, but more often he
slides from bad to worse and finally
slides out of the Big League and into
the bushes" 1t always work in just
about the same old way. He was
human after ALL He had his weak
nses, maybe more than one, and the
opposition found out about it, and then
the end of the finish was in sight.

back to the hinterlands and that par

played in the shadow of the worlds
grandstand, is over and Germany lost.
And everywhere in the world men are
glad that 1t Is over And now comes
the settlement. The BIZ. league rules
need revision. The last four years
show that. The German gang need a
lot of penalizing. And the expenses
for the whole series must now be met.
Wherefore a great International
commission is held in Paris and the
world sets to wor to rebuild a lot of
teams. There are grievances, greater
than any the world has ever known,
that must be adjusted. And the Big
League conference irons them out.
The expenses? Our part of them
must be met from the money of the
people of the United States. And hat

And every time we think of the way
that game might have ended there is
a thrill of joy and thanksgiving in
every American home. For every
American home almost had a player
in the finals of the big game, and we
are mighty glad that 1t is over and
that our players are coming back
again.

HOW THIS LOAN DIFFERS
Secretary Glass Compares Victory
Issue With Preceding Liberty
Bonda.

Since the announcement by Carter
Glass. Secretary Of the Treasury, that
the Victory Liberty Loan issue would
consist of Victory Notes instead of
Liberty Bonds. the question has been
asked, What is the difference be-
tween the bonds and the notes7"
The answer is simple: There is vir-
tually no difference. A Liberty Bond
is the Governments long-term promise
to pay The Victory Note is the Gov
ernment's short-term promise to pay.
In other words, where bond tmay
not mature for period of ten or
more years. the note must mature
within a period of five years at the
most.
The security in both cases is the
same-the entire resources of the
United States back them both.
AS to the terms of the forthcoming
Victory Liberty Loan, no comparison
may be made with the Liberty Bond
issues because the announcement as
to terms will not be made, according
to Secretary Glass. until few days
before the campaign begins.
The notes are more advantageous
than the bonds, as can be seen by
even the veriest tyro In finance, owing
to the fact that their shorter term Of
maturity has a tendency to stabilize
their prices because purchasers are
more apt to hold them.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The Knob Lick Board Of Education
approved High School work next term.
The board is powcr1ess to offer such
a course unless it can have the whole
hearted support of the people. A levy
of 65 cents for school proposes was
voted at the annual school meeting.
Such a levy is entirely inadequate and
is no higher than was voted last year
when only grade work was offered.
A competent high school teacher
cannot be secured for less than one
hundred dollars per month. The
school district of Knob Lick cannot
pay such a salary unless levy of one
hundred cents is voted for school pur-
poses. The board has called special
election for April 18th, at which time
proposition to increase the levy to
one hundred cents will be voted on. If
the proposition is defeated no high
school work at all can be offered next
year.
There is no sound and sensible rea-
son why it should fail to carry. The
people of practically all of the towns
in st. Francois county where high
schools are maintained are so in the
habit of voting the one hundred cent
levy that it is each year voted auto
matically or about the equivalent to
the same. We are living in an age
when everything must be paid for.
Surely if the taxpayers of the other
towns think it good investment to
give their children high school edu-
cation the taxpayers Of Knob Lick
will not be found wanting. People of
Knob Lick, it's up to you! If you
must pay for it. But before you vote
against the levy stop and ask your
selves whether or not you are acting

FIND BOXFULL OF
ANCIENT RELICS
DISMANTLING OLD BUILDING
IN RENO UNCOVERS PAPERS
DATING FAR BACK

RENO, Nev.-A box left in a saloon
forty years ago, which was stored away
and forgotten until the place recently
was dis1nanttled, has been turned over
to the police. When opened it was
found to contain a score of interesting
relics, including a number dating back
to before the signing of the Declaration
of Independence.
The box is believed to have been
the property of Jacob Chamberlain, there
are two land deeds concerning the sell
ing of property in Macomb county, Mich
igan, on the 10th day of August, 1887.
Among the contents is the Boston Ga
zette of March II, 1870. Numerous
photographs also are among the posses
sions. The pictures were taken in the
eighties by the Elite Gallery of Marys-
vile, Calf.
A deed, certificate No. 22,11O, was
found concerning the purchasing of land
in Tew York city and registered by the
general land office in Washington, D. C.
Several letters were found dated in the
spring of 1861, which were sent from
Truckee Meadows, care Of the Evans
ranch.
There also were hand paintings, pen
and ink drawings, a number of photo
graphs of friends or relatives. an alma
nae dated 1913, a calendar dated 1916,

OVER rs per cent. of the sugar used in the United
States is delivered by ships. There is produced
about 800, 900 tons of beet sugar and $50, 900 tons of
cane sugar in Louisiana. The total consumption of the
United States is about 800, 900 tons of raw sugar, which
makes about 1880, 600 tons of refined sugar.
If our coasts were ~blockaded as Germany's now are,
we would have available for the use of the people of the
United States only one pound of sugar for every four we
use. Under such circumstances there is no doubt that the
American people would get along on this limited supply
without complaint.
The United States Food Administration is asking
every American household to use not more than two
pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic
use. Reducing our sugar consumption here means that
we will be able to help supply the needs of France, Eng
land and Italy. Sugar conservation on the American
table also means conservation of ships.
The Army and Navy have sent out an IS: Q. S." call
for ships. "Save Our Ships to Transport Troops and
Munitions to France, in order that we may keep the fight
ing front where it now is and not allow it to extend to
our own homes" is the message.
There is ample sugar in the world for all require
ments-in fact, there is a large surplus, but on account
of the ship shortage it is not available for use in this
country.
Java, which produces Is per cent. of the worlds
cane crop, IS too far removed. 1t requires $50 to 160
days for a ship to go to Java and return.

SEATTLE PLANS A
GREAT MEMORIAL
WILL INVEST 100000 IN VIC
TORY CATHEDRAL-OTHER
CITIES HAVE PLANS

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 31.-A
$500,000 Victory Memorial Cathedra.
is to be built in Seattle by st. Marks
Episcopal church In memory of the
American men who served and died
YIN France, according to an announce
ment made by Rev. Ernest Vincent
Shayler, rector of st. Marks parish.
Architects are working on the plans,

named in honor of twelve of the ma
lions allied in the war with the United
States. Bronze tablets bearing the
names of Seattle men who fell in bat
tie are to be placed in the building.
A Victory Tower with chimes has
been proposed.
Steps being taken for the construc-
ton of the cathedral are believed the
first definite plans made in the state
for a memorial. Throughout the state
moves are being made to erect me-
MORALS but most of the plans are still
in a tentative state.
In Spokane the women's clubs NAV
plant trees on school lawns in memory
of the soldiers and sailors; Belling-
hams Fathers club is leading a move
ment for the erection of a memorial
clubhouse; Grays Harbor residents
are talking of purchasing a bronze
tablet bearing the name of ali men
from the harbor country who died in
the service; the Chehalis Citizens
club is planning a 5000 900 community
center building and the Olympia
Mems Christian association
has named committee to plan a
memorial.
Several Seattle organizations are
planning memorials. The University
of Washington alumni may erect a
in honor of the undergrad
yates in the service; the Municipal
League is heading a. movement for
the erection of a memorial hall, and
committees from the Chamber of
and the Y. M. C. A. are
working together planning for a
memorial. Suggestions have been
made that the committee consider
erecting a 81 $1,000 state or recon
struction hospital.

The executive committee of the
county council Of defense, met yes
terday for the purpose of, the selec-
Ltion of a chairman to take charge of
the drive for funds for the people Of
Armenia, Syria, Greece, and the refu-
gees Of western Asia.
One of the large problems of the
reconstruction period is the feeding
and maintenance of these starving in
habitants of the countries of the neal
east.
In calling upon the people to sup
states: "It is estimated that about
1000, 900 Armenian, Syrian, Greek
and other war sufferers in the near
east will require outside help to sus-
tain them through the winter. Many
of them are now hundreds of miles
from their homeland. The vast ma
jority of them are helpless women
and children, including 100000 or
phans.
The American committee for relief
in the near east is appealing for a
minimum of $30,O00,O 900 to be sub
scribed January 1918, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people,"
The quota for Latah county has not
been fixed. There is to be a meet
ing of the county chairmen of north
Idaho and eastern Washington, at
the Davenport Hotel, on Friday, Jan.
Bird, for the purpose of organizing
and laying plans for making this
drive, which will start Jan. 18th. The
executive committee, after careful
consideration, drafted Rev. H. O..
Perry to handle the drive in Latah
Rev. Perry will attend the
meeting at Spokane; as Latah coun-
,y's representative.
