EDUCATIONAL SUBJECTS
OFFERED BY U. S. ARMY

If John D. Rockefeller should offer
to the young men of Minnesota a
scholarship at Dunwoody institute or
the Mankato Business college with all
expenses paid, would such an offer
appeal to you? The army, at all
camps and many of the posts, main
tains schools where both mechanical
trades and educational subjects are
taught.
Oftimes young men are handi-
capped in securing an education due
to the expense which they feel their
parents cannot afford without max
ing great personal sacrifice and are
not willing to have them do so.
At Camp Grant and Camp Fun
ston, which are the large camps near
est Minneapolis, grade schools are
maintained under expert civilian
teachers, teaching arithmetic, history,
spelling, grammar, etc. The high
school course includes rhetoric; Eng
lish; algebra, geometry; advanced
mathm ematics; history, American!
ancient and modern; French and
Spanish. The sciences include physl.
ology and hygiene, general science.

ASSESSMENTS UP-TAX
RATE NOT YET DOWN,

Every now and then some home
owner pops up and tells of the new
assessment put on his property-and
the figures loom skyward. For in
stance; A man living in Lexington,
with a good home and no special in
come, finds that home assessed at
say $4,000, which will run his taxes
in 1921 to perhaps $250.00. It may be
the place referred to will sell for
$4,000 these wild times, but as a mat
ter of fact, man with small business
and small income, can not afford to
live on, own and maintain home of
that value. We say this: If the tax
rate is reduced before the taxes are
collected on the advanced assess
ments, well and good; but if the tax
rate is not reduced and the assess
ments kept up, the Roberts assess
ment law ought to be killed-and
killed without letting a Legislature
get by.

NUMBER Is
THE ANTI TUBERCULOSIS
DRIVE TO RAISE FUNDS.

All who read the Progress and ma
ny who do not are aware that not long
ago an attempt was made to raise a
fund in Henderson county to be used
in the fight against the great destroy
er of human life-TUBERCUL0SIS.
There was no regular organization
perfected in the county, hence the
sum raised-$26S.48 was nothing like
what was expected of us and we are
now requested to make another effort
to see if the balance of $500 can not
be raised, For that purpose we are

large number of men who have not
given cent who could easily afford
So to $40 each-and never miss it,
to the greatest appeal that can be
made to humanity.
This drive to raise funds has no
connection whatever with the Red
Cross and the Red Cross has nothing
to do with it, except that the Red
Gross aeals were borrowed to be used
as tokens Of contributions made to the
Anti-Tuberculosis fund. If we Will

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
GREAT FIRE LOSS

The fire alarm Wednesday morning
at about s o'clock received a slower
response than usual from the people,
but a sufficient number were soon
on the scene to have saved
the property destroyed had there been
high pressure at the water plant.
The flames originated in the Joyce
bakery, is stated by those who we're
first ON the scene, and for time
threatened the wiping out Of the en-
tire row of buildings from the Thread
gill Bros, corner, opposite the DAVIS
Hotel, to the Watson-Arnold drug
store corner, with fully as much dan
ger in the rear to the big hardware
and furniture business of Brown
Bros. Had the fire not been controll-
ed as it was, by heroic work, it would
have meant the complete destruction
Of the buildings on the entire North
West side Of the public square, as
well as those mentioned on one side
Of old Jacheon, now North Main ST.
The only water pressure obtainable
was that from the water tank, be-
cause Of THE breaking of something at
the plant ii attempting to turn on the
high pressure. The entire stock was

house on the cafner and the wall be
tween that andfthe lumber shed, Jthe

stock in the shed va consumed to-
gether with Tic, truck bo0ght but

The losses and insurance are as fol-
lows: Threadgill Brothers losses:
Building, $1,000; stock, $1,000; rotor
truck, $4,000 Insurance, building,
$4,000; stock, $G.500; motor truck
$4,000.
The bakery, owned by Hiram and

covered by insurance. The bakery
building was owned BY Elver Eller
