HALLOWEEN

When> Halloween and the Sabbath
occur at the same time, those who
are accustomed to appearing on the
streets as. ghosts, clowns and in
divers other DISCUSSES are at loss
to know just when to make their
appearance.
Some are of the opinion the cele-
bration will be moved up day, to
Saturday, while others think maybe
Monday would be the better day.
Certainly, it is felt, no attempt will
be made to observe Halloween on
Sunday.

Mrs. Gait is for the

Woman's clubs and suffrage cir

by the announcement today that
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, for years
president of the .Woman's Suffrage
Association, and president Of the
international Woman's Suffrage Al
lance, has written an endorsement
Of the League Of Nations. Mrs. Gait
proposes to vote for Cox and Roose-
welt, though she has always been a
sffunch Republican Her statement
has shaken from their mornings sew
eral Republican women leaders, in
Louisville, who have for many years
been guided solely by Mrs. Catt's
policy.
Mrs. Cats view are given in the
current issue Of the 'sWoman's Citi-
zen," organ Of the American League
q Women Voters, a national non
partisan organization. In her article
she answers every objection to the
League Of Nations, and tells why the
United States should ratify it.
''To my mind" she writes, "The
United States has lost decided ad-
vantage Of world leadership won by
the united efforts Of the United
States during the war, and II falls
farther into the background with
each month of longer delay. If the
League has failed to begin its opera

Montgomery Co. Men
Get Benefits

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education is having remarkable sue
cess in retraining disabled veterans
of the World War who are no longer
fit for pre-war occupations. The
board trains disabled, men in any
occupation or profession for which
they are mentally and physically
fitted. The trainees are placed in the
best schools, colleges and Industrial
establishments and are trained until
, capable Of accepting position. If
necessary the training coveD period
OF four years. AT the completion of
the course a position is secured for
the man, and he is kept on the gov
eminent payroll until it is certain
that he will make good. While in the
training men receive an allowance
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year, and
all transportation, tuition, books,
tools and training supplies are paid
for by the board
In order that married men may
take their families to the place Of
training the pay for men with de-
pendents is larger than the pay for
the single men without dependents.
If the men desire, they are trained at
or near the place of residence. The
men are not under military control,
nor do they have to sign up FOR any
certain period of time. They may
cease training whenever they so de-
sire.
Their compensation from the War
Risk Insurance Bureau does not stop
except during the time they are re-
ceiving pay. When the man is dis
continued or is retained the compen-
sation is resumed, if the disability
still exists. The following men of
this section and entitled to this
training and Il is expected that they
will shortly take advantage of the

Stone. 80 a
Now this was hard game and
you know we were up against it in
the first half of the ninth inning. We
had what is known as the shine ball,
but a few years ago we had what
was known as the raise ball. Well,
of course, Woodrow being some old
fashioned, when Dupont was first
man up Woodrow led with three
nice raises. Dupont, batting for a
drop in wages, swings three times
hard and walked away.
Now Wall Street is up and he is
very dangerous. But he is hit by
Woodrow and walks. We know Wall
Street stole second and in a close
play also stole third. Now Penrose
is up and things surely look blue, for
Penny is a great hitter. The grand
stand is filled with old gray whisk-
cred farmers from the West, but in
the meantime Federal Reserve, play
ing deep in center, takes a beautiful
liner from Penny's bat, and you
should have heard those old farmers
cheer when Wall Street died at the
plate on Federal Reserves THROWN.
Now comes the last half of the
ninth. Pitchers as rule are not
much with the stick, but you ought
to have seen the people blow up
when Woodrow hit the orange. He
touched the bag in Ohio, in Kansas
and got so near it in Minnesota that
he got by with ii, and was called safe
in California by the official count.
Now what he must have is new

is, is he a good hitter7 Now thinkt

Ten Reasons for Teaching

1t is the duty of every school super
intendent. school committeeman. and
citizen so to cooperate in organizing
work and crystalizing public opinion
that local young men and women will
choose teaching
Because without education our coun-
try will not advance: for a state or a
country is no better than it's schools.
Because the teacher comes into con-
slant contact with the best things in
life
Because teaching is one OF the sur
est ways of making ones personality
count
Intellectual Associations
Because the teacher may have as
companions people of refinement and
intelligence.
Because it is a highly respected pro-
fession which is rapidly receiving
more and more recognition.
Because it offers an opportunity for
the highest type of service by influence
ing countless others to live honorable
and useful lives.
Because our land must be safe
guarded. and education is our protec-
ton. The teacher must carry on what
the soldier began.
Because it keeps one young, alive.
and progressive. Contact with grow
ing. inquiring minds keeps one contin-
ually studying and learning.
TO Teach Economic Laws
Because there has never been a time
in the history Of our country when
our people have turned as eagerly and
as hopefully to their teachers as now.
They ore asking us to teach them eco
nomic laws. patriotic duties. the mean
ing of national and international CO.
operation and service.
Because in return for duties ade-
quately performed the profession will
soon receive higher salaries, better
working conditions and high rank in
the professions that serve mankind
