|This spirit has not been confined to

the public, who have heretofore
taken the attitude that they were
Imposing upon the comfort of the

authority that there has been more

ing society, which will also compete
for honors with other schools of tn
state. This is a new feature for the
Orofino schools, to be instituted for
the first time this year. Mr.. Kull-
berg is an experienced instructor
along these lines and has met with
considerable success in this work. 1t
is planned to create more public In
terest in the school by giving free
entertainments at intervals which
will be more or less of novelty to
local people and break the monotony
of school life. Another new feature
which will be added to the school
Curriculum this year will be As min
ute classes three times a week in
physical culture, under the direction
of Miss Rutledge, who is experienced
in this line.
As the facilities of the school
have been improved the scope of its
educational work has enlarged. We
have the buildings, the faculty and
the pupils and the only thing re-
naming to be done to make the Orc
fino public schools as good as can be
found in the state is to beautify the
grounds. To this end a large num-
ber of local people again turned out
Monday afternoon to clean up and
level the campus and much was ac-
complished. 1t is estimated that
over $500 has been saved this way
However, much remains to be done.
1t is planned to have an expert
landscape gardener from one of the
nearby colleges come here, look over
the grouds and draw up plans which
when completed will accomplish the
desired result. If this plan is car
ried out it will not be long until we
can boast with pride of not only an

TESTIMONY IN
NEWBERRY CASE
Already Shows the Use OF
More Than 100000 in
Senatorship Campaign
MONEY FOR EVERY
WORKER
One Man Opened Envelope
and Found $500
in 1t

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb, 7.-Testi-
mony relating TO funds deposited or
withdrawn by members Of Senator Tru-
man H. Newberry's campaign com
mittee was introduced by the govern
ment again yesterday in the election
conspiracy trial in which the senator
and l22 of his associates are defend
ants.
At the conclusion of Thursdays ses-
sion. Frank e. Daley, special prosecu-
tor. claimed that 50 far the prosecu-
ton had shown the use OF more than
100000 in the Newberry campaign,
whereas he declared, $3.50 was the
lawful maximum. Attorneys for the
defense maintain that statute governs
only the amount spent by the candi-
date and does not place a limit upon
expenditures by his supporters.
Two young women stenographers
were the first witnesses to-day They
were followed by John +. Kern Of
Midland, Michigan. He said Terry
Corliss. a defendant, called on him in
the middle OF August, 1918, and asked
him to aid in organizing the county
for Newberry.
About a week before the primaries
Corliss called him to Detroit to meet
King. ~,
Kern said a sealed envelope was laid
on the table beside him. He opened
il on the train, he said, and found
800 in it. Out Of the 500 Kern said
he paid for automobiles and employed
some kids to pass literature. He said
he spent about 500 of the money and
returned the rest to B. Frank Emery.
Cross examination developed that
Kern was a Newberry man before Cor
liss called on him.
George W Mackenzie, cashier Of the
Old National Bank OF Grand Rapids,
testified concerning accounts OF Charles
FLOYD. He read from records To show
deposits of 4.97S.90 between April ,
and August %; about $500 Of this
wa, cash. according 70 the record,
The defense had the witness tell Of
Withdrawals amounting to $4,622.Ti
and that deposits from October %,
1917. to April , totalled S5,037.50
80 that in the five months the de-
posits were less than in the five
months preceding asked the defense

Yes sir, said Mackenzie, and he was
excused.

enlightenment, but that those who
merely wanted excitement would be
disappointed If they want %enlighten-

not to tame the goats.
The truth is that the radical, using
the term more broadly than to imply
a necessarily sinister meaning, Is by
nature an enthusiast and a propogan-

every happening TO account Tor his
