TEACHERS SALARIES

Why should the pay of public
school teachers be increased?
The right OF a child to an educa.
ton is the greatest problem that con.
fronts the American people today
The future growth and development
of the Amer lean republic rests upon
the education that the child receives
The child receives just such IN
education as is offered him by the
inexperienced and UNFRAMED teach.
ew that our county school boards
succeed in hiring for the small and
unattractive salary that teachers are
paid.
Most of our best teachers are leav.
ing the teaching profession. Why?
Because, First, they can find en-
ployment in more remunerative
line. One that pays three or four
times as much as teaching.
Second, they cannot stay in the
profession and meet their living ex-
penses and increase the eciciencyS OF
their methods of teaching by attend
ing colleges for teachers at the sal
airy they are paid. I saw an article
in the Pathfinder in which the wri-
ter tasted that the least salaried man
working on the railroad vas $4,000
per year. Compare this with teach
ers' salaries. SAM BACON.

HIGH PRICED SUGAR

One of the reas ms sugar is priced
SO high here is that the United
States is determined that Europe
shall have cheap sugar. During the
first eleven months of 1919 the Unit
ed States sold nearly one billion and
half pounds of sugar to Europe at
an average price of about eight cents
per pound. During that period
Americans were forced 70 pay about
20 cents a pound. In November last
England got 81 million pounds of
sugar in this country at 71a cents a
pound, about one-third what we had
to pay. 1t thus appears that we
Americans, who think we are smart
are in reality easy marks, and that
sugar mnipulators think three times
as much of an Englishman as they
do of man at home.

Don't Be Bald

How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
and Lustrous.
Few of us get bald in a day and we
all have ample warning when our hair
is thinning out.
Partisan sage is a most efficient hair
inyigorator, but to quickly stop any
further loss of hair and promote
new growth it must be rubbed into
the scalp SO the starved hair roots
can really absorb it and get the vital
stimulation SO badly needed.
You will surely be delighted with
the first application, for your hair and
scalp should look and feel 100 per
cent better
Partisan sage is not expensive. It's
a scientific preparation that supplies
hair needs-a clean, non-sticky, anti
septic liquid that is sold at good drug
stores everywhere with a guarantee
to give satisfaction or money re-
funded.
Good looking hair is half the battle
in any mans or woman's personal ap-
pearance. Neglect means dull. thin,
lifeIess hair and finally badness,
while a little attention now should
insure thick and lustrous hair for
years to come.
No matter what your hair troubles

Good Evening
BY ROY K. MCULTOk

We have never seen a man laying a
corner stone who looked as though he
knew much about the technique of the
thing. The last one we observed was
General Pershing, and even this brave
warrior looked worried and harassed
and embarrassed, and he spilled NOR
tar on the shoes of the four Or five of
the honorary vice presidents and got
some into his own oVercoat pocket.
1t is a delicate position in which to
place any man and we have been
somewhat worried, too. We know
that some day when we are great there
will be lot of people after us to lay
corner stones and unveil statues, etc.
In order to get a little instruction in
corner stone laying against the days
that are TO come, we have opened
negotiations with a wellknown CORE
spOndence school, and no doubt we will
be ready to do plain or fancy corner
stone laying within a few months.

Lincoln


Can anything new be said about Abraham
Lincoln? Can new luster be added to his i'm
mortal achievements? Can later generation
contribute more homage than already has been
paid to his name and memory?
AS each anniversary of his birth arrives, the
istic, some new thought that leads them onward
and forward in the consummaton of their ma
tional destiny.
The republic never grows tired of his I'M
bounded faith in the principles of our govern
f1nent, his conviction that no matter what the
problem, the solution is possible in government
that derives all it's power from the will of the
people.
Of Washington, Lincoln once said, ITO add
brightness to the sun or glory to the name of
Washington is alike IMPOSSIBLE How great
Lincoln was, how lofty his spirit, how exalted
his nature, we never shall know. We may only
speak Of them in broken terms, in faltering ex-
pressions, in words that vainly strive to convey
the fulness of our feeling, the depth of our ap-
probation.
Here was man whose whole life was ground
Gu vi Iie eIcIAdl VI ilSAt. lac "AS
great, we may say not because of his Intellectual
power, but because of his moral qualities. "He
formed one basic conviction says an admirer,
namely, that only the right thing wears long
lest, only the right act serves longest only the
right word guides longest. To find the right
thing, and upon occasion do it, was the whole
policy of Abraham Lincoln"
Lincoln himself, unconsciously perhaps, ex-
pressed the basic motive of his life when he said
Let us have faith that Right makes Might, and
in that faith let to the end dare to do our duty
AS we understand it."
He based his policies, his course of action on
a power beyond human control, power that
rules the destiny Of men and nations. Today,
when not only our own nation but all the powers
of the world are wrestling with mighty prob
lens, their leaders may we'll turn to the career
of Lincoln and be guided by the spirit of the seer
who firmly believed that no nation can endure
unless it's destiny be linked with the principles
of righteousness, integrity and liberty.
The man Lincoln may be dead but his spirit
lives in the great American commonwealth
steadying our course in the hour of uncertainty
pointing unerringy to the way of rectitude and
honor amid the maze of crossing and conflicting
paths, adjuring us always amid the shouting of
demagogues and the clamor of radicals to re.
main constant in our allegiance to republic tt
which he himself paid this tribute: Nowhere ir
the world is presented government of such
liberty and equality"
