WILLOW Hill School,
Taylor Township Land
mark, Becomes a Memoir,

In a very short time some of the
Taylor township will have become
only memories. Willow Hill school,
which is In the territory added to the
Albion consolidated school district
last spring, will soon pass out Of ex-
tence much to the regret of many
and especially the older residents. At
an auction sale held recently the
buildings and site were sold T. M.
Rubee bought the buildings which he
Will move to his farm. The one-acre
tract of land was purchased by the
Reese estate Of which it was origi-
nally part. Already the fine trees
from which this school derived its
name have been destroyed. Next year
the school grounds. held in loving
memory by hundreds Of former pup
lis, will be part of corn field with
nothing remaining to mark the spot.
With the sale of the Prairieville
church, and subsequent I.emodeling
into a stable on Mrs. Maulsby's farm,
there is no suitable place left In the
township In which to hold public
meetings of any kind. Willow Hill
school house. being much larger than
the ordinary country school and
fitted with large stage. drop cur
tain, dressing rooms, etc. was a
popular place for entertainments of
all kinds. Literaries, debates or plays
seldom failed to draw a packed
house.
Prior to about 1870 this school was
located close to the site Of the pres
ent dwelling on the II. @. Stowell
farm and accommodated oil OF the
western part OF the township from
the river on the south to the Liscomb
township line on the north. PopuIa-
ton had increased SO by 1870 that the
district was divided and this school
was moved three-quarters Of a mile
north, and a new brick school house,
called Mud Valley" was built three
quarters of a mile south. Carved on
the weathered sides Of the old VIII
low Hill coal house are the names of
some who have attained wide promi-
hence, who attended this school when
youths.
Willow Hill always has been the
voting place for the township and in
this connection 1t is recalled that the
election of congressman from the
Fifth district once hinged on the
vote of this precinct. On the face Of
the returns James Wilson, (Tama
Jin) the republican candidate, was
elected by a very small plurality. The
vote was so very close that the
democrats made a thorough investi-
cation of the election and finally
contested the results, charging ir-
| regularity in conducting the election
in Taylor township on the ground
that the whole election board left the
polling place to enjoy a good dinner
at a nearby farm house. leaving the
ballot box unguarded. BY throwing
| out the vote of this precinct, which
was largely republican. the demo-
cratic candidate, Ben r. Frederick, of
Marshlltown. gained a seat in con-
gress.

THE BIRD OF PARADISE"
The Eyer-PopuIar Hawaiian Romance
at Odeon Saturday EVENING,

Richard Walton Tully's charming
love story of Hawaii. The Bird OF
Paradise" will again be seen at the
Odeon Theater Saturday night.
Few dramas produced In recent
years have secured as firm hold on
the public as The Bird of Paradise"
It's popularity is largely due to the
spell cast by the weird and beautiful
which seems never to lose It's
haunting spell. 1t creates the atmos-
phere OF the play and becomes a sort
OF appropriate musical commentary
on the pathetic story of love and sac
rifice that the drama tells. Florence
Rockwell will again be seen In the
role Of Luana. Others in the cast
include Robert Brister, Brandon
Evans, Gertrude Walthers, Leo Curley,
Rose Watson, and the native singers
from Hawaii. Odeon.

Rumors of Many Changes.

Rumors more or less definite have
been going about In the depot dis
trict for some time regarding what
the railroad company intended to do.
H. addition to the extension of the
yards on the property now leased to
tenants, one rumor is to the effect
that tie grade of the east yard and
main line is to be reduced and tun-
mel for the main line is to be dug under
third avenue to eliminate that grade
',ossng. Still another detail of TITS
rumor is that the freight depot is to
be moved from Its present location on
Second avenue to site on the leased
property that is to be occupied.

and other buildings that occupy "
and incorporate the land into its

chased few years ago all but one

an editor in all the long line. Yet it
must be admitted that journalists in
general have had more to do with the
formulation of that public sentiment
which lies at the basis of our govern
ment than any other one group. Is it
not fitting that finally a newspaper
man should be President of the Unit
ed States?
Senator Harding is, moreover, a real
and not theoretical newspaper man.
As young man, with little previous
experience except as a county school
teacher, he took over a broken down
paper in his home town of Marion. o.
and by years of hard work built it
into one of the strong publications of
his part of the country, and, welded
through it statewide influence, re-
sultlng finally in his election to the
lieutenant governorship of his state
and to United States senatorship.
AS publisher and editor, Mr.. Hard
ing not only wrote the editorials and
news matter for his paper, but So
licited the lads and looked after all
the details of the business and mechan-
ical end of the publication. He learn
ed to set type and to make up the
forms, and today when he returns to
Marion, likes to take off his coat, 90
into the composing room, and turn a
hand with his fellow printers. When
he entered public life, Mr.. Harding re-
organized his paper on a cooperative
basis. Stock was distributed free to
employees of the paper, including the
mechanical force.
Mr.. Harding has never forgotten
the merchant, who gave him his first
advertisement, thus giving him a start
| on his business career. At the Chicago
convention of 1916 he showed great
anxiety to meet and greet this man,
who had removed to a distant state
And this suggests that the human side
| of Harding is destined to cut consid-
cradle figure IN the present campaign

Dor and hard working business man

ants of his town soliciting business, Oh

THE ACID TEST
THEIR RECORDS

THE ACID TEST
THEIR RECORDS
By their records you shall know
them.
When an officer comes up for reelec-
ton study his records. That is the
acid test.
On his record two years ago The
Capital Times endorsed Congressman
E. E. Browne of the eighth district
for reelection. A study of his record
for the past two years leads us to a
gain recommend him for reelection.
On every progressive measure that
has come up in congress the past two
years Ed Browne has been right. He
has stood for public welfare against
special privilege at every turn in the
road. And more than that, he has
stood for the rights of man guaran-
teed by the constitution but which are
threatened by the power of concen-
trated wealth backed by packed fed
eral judiciary.
On the peace treaty resolutions he
sought to end the war, to bring back
the 10000 American boys who are po-
Icing the disarmed and helpless Ger
man people, and to return from the
organized plumber of war profteers to
the paths of peace and honest govern
ment.
His idea is to get out and stay out
of European entanglements.
On the Graham Sedition bill which
aimed to put free speech, a free press
and our personal liberties in cold
storage it was the open fight of Ed
Browne and his fellows that sent the
bill to defeat. It was thu fight that /

first lifted the fear of the people that
an honest criticism of a dishonest pub
lie policy meant prosecution and jail
for the critic. The defeat of the sedi-
ton bill gave us the first ray of hope
that we are still free people free
to govern ourselves under the law and
the constitution.
Ed Browne stood squarely with La
Toilette against the Esch-Cummins
railroad BILL He opposed the subsid-
izing of railroads under Wall Street
management and control for the bene-
fit of Wall Street stock gamblers, thru
the public treasury and higher rates
on the consuming public. He figured,
and correctly, that the increased cost
of living because of the railroad sub
sidy would be over $500 to each family
of five. But the Esch-C ummins bill
won and we have now the worst rail
road service ever known, while the
railroad presidents are knocking at
the public treasury for more money.
Having gotten their hungry paws into
the public crib they are bound to feed
fat before the public throws them out
These matters will be up again and
we need men like Ed Browne with his
experience to lead the fight to restore
the government at Washington to the
people. On his record, Congressman
Browne should be reelected.-C
