These wet Sundays lately, when
it has been too> rainy for news
paper man to go to church, we
have been reading the Bible at
home /. There is certainly helpful
and spiritual guidance in the Old
Book for people who live in wet
country such as this. Do you
know what we think is the
best story In the Bible? 1t may
surprise you, but It's that one
about Noah and the flood. We say
this even in the face of doubters
who turn up their noses and de-
clare the flood story is fake. You
remember that Noah had to work
long time on the ark. 1t was
uphill business, too at best, to go
on sweating and toiling day after
day under the hot sun, out there
on dry land, while the hammer
and anvil club around splitting to-
bacco juice in his boards, whittl-
ing up his soft pine with old jack
knives and telling him what fool
he was to expect a big rain in a
country that was to dry to grow
alfalfa But he kept at it; finally
the flood came and every mothers
son of the croakers was drowned
This is the only instance we know
of in either sacred or profane his.

TO go and we hope to take the full
number. ~
Little time was lost on account
| of the flu epidemic and as the
result of the teachers work and
the efforts of the parents in send
ing the pupils and in the work of
the pupils. So eighth graders
wrote the examination, eighty-one
passing, four conditioned and four
failures.
In the seventh grade sixty wrote
forty-eight passed, five conditioned
and seven failures. 1t is but fair
to the latter to say that on ac-
count of the combined seventh and
eighth grade work that it was a
little hard for some as the work
done was eighth grade work.
During the year the salaries
ranged from $50 to to $50 in the
rural schools, only two teachers
receiving the former salary.
Several teachers have been re-
lected at $l25 and three at $3.50 In
the rural schools, and we are urg-

FAULKNER ASKS RE.TRlAL

Attorney H. l.. Faulkner, in two motions filed in the district court and argued before Judge Robert Jennings, in the case of Sam Bekoff vs. the Dan Creek Mining Company, who sued for damages for personal in- juries and was awarded a verdict oi SO per cent of what he asked, charged that Bekoff, represented by Henry Roden. had "gambled with the yer dict of the jury" One motion asked for a new trial and the other asked for Judgment for Bekoff The last motion in effect means that Bekoff would be paid in full in the amount of S5S0, which he had accepted from the company and for which he had signed a release at the time of the settlement. It was contended by Faulkner that before bringing suit Bekoff should have returned the s5S0 to the company, and that not by do- ing so, he gambled that if the yer dict of the jury was against him he would keep the amount and that if it was in excess he would receive the balance. Judge Jennings inti. mated that he would deny the mo- tion for a new trial, but took both points under advisement to give his decision later.

The comedy was in three acts and embraced all the high spots of Alice Hogan Rice's famous story deftly. woven into a connected plot, which. however, cen tered about the parentage of Tommy, the youngster which "Lovey Mary" brought along with her when she un- ceremoniously left the confines of the orphan asylum.

 This battle.-one of the most i'm portant operations of the war,-was to continue until the enemy capitu lated. The objectives assigned tt General aPershing's Army were oi paramount importance. The Ger mans realized that if they could not hold their lines of communications at this point, all would be lost for them. They consequently with drew division after division from the north, to fling them in desperation against the Americans.
 Ouf of nine divisions which took part in this brilliant attack, sustained for AZ days, only three were in pos session of their organic artillery oi had ever taken part in active wal and five divisions came in contact with their artillery for the first time on the battlefield. Two divisions had spent about sixty days in calm sectors, one had been ten, another sixteen days in the trenches, two had never been under fire They were provided with only three quarters the regulation number of horses and wagons, and the natural difficulties which they had to face seemed in. surmountable. Yet, in spite of roads heavy with mud, of deep ravines thick woods and steep hills, the Am. orleans pushed steadily on. Not at any time superior in numbers to the enemy. during this long struggle they always had the upper hand
 On October 26, at the end of the first month, the troops had made an average advance of 10 miles on a 20 mile front, they had freed 45 vii lages from the Argonne to the Mouse they had liberated 200 square miles of territory. and they had penetrated the four strongest German systems of :, trenches, including the Hinden burg line. The ay;ators had fshoi down 230 airplanes and 20 balloons

 Fifteen out of the twenty-two divi sions engaged had been twice in ac ton during the Mouse Argonne bat tie. in which the Americans sustained 100000 casualties.

General Pershine in Command
 On August 10, the First Army was organized under the personal com mand of. General Pershing.
 In view of the important part the Americans were now to play it was necessary for them to take over a permanent portion of the line which extended from east of the Moselle River, to a point near Verdun. The operations in this sector resulted in signal success, on September 12, the First Army wiped out the Saint.

tic theatre Tuesday night, October

year more enchanting than ever.
Aside from its fascinating love story

every beholder while the plaintive
native melodies and the unique hula

enrolment will be better when the
new term commences.
The local continuation school sys-

saloons Ind speakeasies have hit
upon the plan of modelling their
market after the curb market of the
