HOPE TO CONSOLIDATE
GLEN HAVEN SCHOOLS.

Several of the progressive citi-
zens of Glen Haven township have
expressed themselves as interested in
the consolidation of the schools of
that township. For them as well as
others who may be interested in such
project | submit the following as
the first of a series of articles on this
question:
Consolidation in Glen Haven town
ship would mean the uniting of the
seven schools of the township into
one, that would be large enough from
the point of enrolment and strong
enough in way of money to afford a
comfortable building, two or more
teachers and reasonable facilities for
work. It would be real country
school for country children located in
some picturesque piece of woodland.
probably at the crossing of the roads,
as near the geographical center of
the township as possible. Transpor-
tation for all the children of the
township to such school would be
provided by teams hired to make
regular trips twice each day, morn
ing and evening.
There are now seven school dist
riots paying $4,57965 to maintain
these schools. There are 121 pupils
enrolled with an average attendance
OF 1O2. Under the consolidation plan
four or possibly three teachers could
do the work of seven At an average
salary of $50 month for 8 months
school $2,160 would pay all teachers
thus saving ($4,579.65 minus S2.16W
or $2,419.65 on teachers salaries
alone.
For such school the state would
grant aid as follows:
az For erection of building So
(2) For transportation the state
pays, ETC., this would mean about
$4,000 a year.
90 For maintaining school $500
annually, special aid; $1,000 saved on
teachers salaries plus $4,000 every
year, state aid plus $500 aid annual
ly equals $4,000 The township would
have over and above what it has UNI
der present conditions. This would
pay for six men with teams at the
rate of 500 per month or 8 men with
teams at the rate of $50 per month
for nine months Two hours in morn
ing and two hours in afternoon would

PASSING OF PACKETS
ON UPPER MISSISSIPPI.

McGREGOR, lathe two long.
two short whistles of the Diamond 10
packets will no longer be heard in
the upper Mississippi river towns. 1t
is the passing of the last vestige of
the picturesque old river life. For 40
years the big double-deckers have
piled the Mississippi between st. Lou
is and st. Paul, carrying freight and
passengers, and the hills have echoed
their whistles as they made land
ing to deliver and receive freight and
passengers. BY the time the gang
plank had touched the shore a crowd
had always gathered to watch with
never tagging interest the line of
negro roustabOuts with freight on
head and back, lock-step up and down
the gangplank, shouting in singsong
fashion as they broke now and then
into a run when the mate yelled at
them to 'get move on"
One by one the big packets, since
they were bought from the Doamond
10 people by the Streckfus Steamboat
Co., have been made over into excur-
sion steamers, and turned from freight
and passenger service to pleasure
boating The very last one, the
Quincy, will be in the excursion trade
this summer. 1t is now in the docks
at Davenport, Ia, being fitted up.
D. w. Wisherd of Quincy, ILL.,, who
has popularized excursions on the up
per river, has been chosen as man
ager of all the Streckfus boats as
well as the G. w. Hill, the Majestic,
and other boats which he has been
operating. While freight and passen-
ger business has declined to almost
a zero point on the upper Mississippi,
excursions have acquired such pop
ularity that they are now a lucrative
business for number of large
steamers.
AS chance had it, the season that
beholds the passing Of the old-time
passenger and freight boats, is to
witness a fleet of modern freight
barges put on the upper Mississippi.
The government is building 80 barges
for the purpose. 1t is believed that
these will be so much better suited
to freighting on the upper river than
the unwieldy packets were that a re
vival of freighting will result.

COLOR LINE IGNORED BY FRENCH

Washington - Soldiers returning
from overseas, especially those hail
ing from southern states, express
grave apprehension over the effect
which failure of the French people
to draw the color line will have on
negro soldiers from this country. The
observations thus made do not be-
little the services rendered by these
negro soldiers, who both fought val
iently on the firing line and perform
ed equally valuable services back of
the line.
II fear this is likely to create a SER
ious situation said high ranking
officer, whose home is in the south.
"And it is one which will require the
combined intelligence of our people,
both white and black, to handle.
THE French people do not draw
the color line and it is not uncom-
mon either in Paris or the cities of
the provinces to see white girls with
negro soldiers. In some places where
negra troops were stationed, there
were dance halls where negro sol
diers danced at will with white wo-
men.
II understand that at Coquidan this
nearly resulted in the repetition of
the Houston raid. There were white
and negro soldiers there and the mil
itary police refused to permit negro
soldiers into the dance hall where
white soldiers were dancing with
white women The negroes returned
to their camp and, obtaining arms,
were going out to kill every white
man they saw. The white officers
were forced to go to their barracks
and had it not been for the GOODNESS
of Maj. w. A. Rutan, there would
have been a riot.

that Anaximander invented sun dial
about $50 B. G. The first sun dial at
Rome was placed in the temple of

Several explanations have

Several explanations have been
given of the meaning of the word
"foolscap" as applied to a certain
class of paper. One of the explana-
tions is that when Charles l, of Eng
land found his revenue short he
granted certain privileges, amount
ing to monopolies, and among these
was the manufacture of paper, the
exclusive rights of which was sold
to certain persons, who grew rich
and enriched the government, at the
expense of those who were obliged
to use the paper. At this time all
England paper bore, in watermarks>
the royal arms. The parliament un-
der Cromwell made a jest Of this
law, and, among other indignities to
the memory of Charles, it was ordered
that the royal arms be removed from
the paper and FOOLS cap and bells
be substituted. These were in their
turn removed when the hump parlia-
ment was dismissed, but paper for
the size Of the parliament's journal
still bears the name of "foolscap."

tling developed. The majority Of the
women belonging to the best set wore
black literally festooned with pearls.
One French woman wore seven rows
of these gems about her neck. The
set that are sent to the races to ex-
hibit clothes wore frocks with ex-
tended hips, the farthingale effect.
There was also a strong tendency
toward lace frocks made Of white or
ecru fiounces. Nine. Poincare wore
one covered with the ubiquitous black
satin cape topped with the equally
ubiquitous brown tulle hat flickering
with uneven sprays Of paradise.
None of these lace frocks was espe-
cially worth copying. except one Of
ecru fiounces with the shortest of
skirts, the most negligible Of bodices,
short sleeves and q brown tulle sash.
The hat that turns away from the
face, built Of black velvet, was worn
by so many women that It must be
accepted as a first fashion. We had
1t in America in April, but only the
minority wore it. A fringe Of hair on
the forehe cad Is necessary with II. and

ing the bang. 1t looks as though we
were in for q new sort of coiffure.
The social side of the Paris races Is
OF keen interest to Americans. The

well placed Parisienne does not ap-

mitted at a price. except at the opera.

1t Is astonishing how many women
bearing the first and finest names In
PaSis are discovered sitting in the
inclosure. The smart English and
American women go without apology
or denial. It's the Anglo-Saxon way
to attend public places. Perhaps the
nobility Of France does not yet ac-
knowledge that it mingles with the
republicans. But 1t goes, just the
same, to the races, and frequently to
the restaurants
For instance, this story: An Ameri-
can said to an aristocratic Parisienne
at tea. Aren't these last races chic?"
And the answer, VERY. For the
concierge and his wife," And yet, the
names of those present at the Grand
Prix, printed in a Paris paper the next
day. sounded like memoirs Of the
court Of Louis XVI.
Not all these women wear their best
clothes. by any means. They are too
distinguished for that. They leave it
to the manneQuins and lesser act-
resses to exploit sensat ional gowns;
but this is the same in America.
The idea they did impress on the
fashion reporter. however, was the
prevalence of white, gray and black
instead Of colors. 1t is a new thing
for Paris to wear white, especially
outside OF the home, and 1t seems nat
ural to assume that the fashion has
to do with the signing Of peace.
There was the costume Of the

THERE are wells that are bound
with ribbon about the lower edge
and this ribbon extends beyond the
end of the veil, which is just large
enough to go around the hat and is
tied in bow at the back of the hat.
A novelty is the chair bag, to be
hung over the back of the chair in
front of the dressing table, to hold all
the accessories of the toilet. The best,
thing about this bag is. of course, that
1t may be used even when there is no
dressing table, and will therefore con-
vert an ordinary chair, with a mirror
of some sort before it, into a dressing
table. The bag is fitted with little
pockets cut according to the size Of
the particular toilet articles they are

made Of red georgette, and although
1t is a slip-on blouse, it has a simu-
lated closing at the left side, which
suggests its kinship to the Russian

and black beads. and although red and
black do not sound very original or
interesting, still in this case they are
blended in such a way as to gain un-
usual distinction.
Hand embroidered polka dots are .

other bright shade.
The very narrow belt is still used on
some Of the new frocks. The belt just
now is unusually interesting, for it
can consistently be any width from
the string belt to the hip girdle.
