THE o VIEW

Seeing that the election of 1920 is
almost sure to be a Republican vic
tory, the Democratic ch%ieftains have
lost their heads. Many of them are
charging that the Republican leaders
are deliberately encouraging the
present social unrest, that they want
conditions to become worse, so that
the country will turn to them in des-
peration.
What a different spirit is this from
that of Chairman Hays of the Repub-
lican National Committee, in a recent
utterance. "This is no time for little
things" he said. I'VE have no time
for pullings and haulings either as
against Democrats, or between our
selves. We attribute honesty of pur-
pose to the opposition, and urge that
the contest between the Democrats
and Republicans be a contest in effort
for service to the nation"
An ancient story says that an un-
learned shoemaker used to take plea
sure in attending debates spoken in
Latin which were held in a certain
college. He could not understand a
word that was said. But he could
tell which debater was getting the
worst of the argument, as the loser
would always get mad. The Demo
cratic leaders have reached that
point.
The Republican leaders are big
minded enough to give these oppo-
nents credit for honesty of purpose.
Their claim is simply that the Demo.
cratic party Is led by men who are

TOWN BOOSTING

The movement to form what might
DC CLASSIFIED as town boosting organ
iZations, which would take some such
nalne as Board OF Trade, Chamber of
Commerce, OF Business Mems Asso-
citation, became quite general fifteen
years age. Thousands OF towns and
cities formed such organizations d
long THAT period. Many OF them
proved very successful, Others would
accomplish a few good things, and
then coUfine themselves to perfume
tory activities.
They would appoint a long list Of
committees that might never meet.
Frequently about all that was ac-
complished was to hold an annual
meeting and dinner
1t is a difficult matter to run such
an association On this basis. 1t may
cost little to belong TO it, and it does
not take much work to keep them
running in this routine way. But
people get tired Of societies hat don't
accomplish anything. 1t has proved
true in hundreds of cases, that organ
iZations that expect more work and
more money from their supporters,
would get get much better backing.
A movement that starts out in a
systematic and energetic to
promote home town business inter-
ests, will get solid support in any
town having community spirit, and
it surely will here in Hope.
A case could be mentioned of q
board Of trade that a for 10 years
in a small we'll known city. 1t had
difficulty in getting $50 members
who would pay annual dues of $500
each Recently it organized on a

HOPE. 26: MAYVII4LE, 12

The first team of Hope added an
other victory to it's list when last Fri
day they invaded the city of May
vile and came home with the decided
victory as indicated by the above
score. Mayville has a big team and
no easy victory was expected. How
the game although somewhat
rough, presented no great difficulties
to the Hope quintet. Joslyn looped
in seven of the winning TALES
and Gumb, star forward, piled in the
other five. Gumb and Kraabel also
made n free throw each. Hope
was supposed to play Hatton next
Friday but the game was cancelled
by Hatton, the expenses of the trip
being too great. Aneta plays here
on the 23rd. Let's get out and boost
for our team.

A board of trade in another town
was SO reduced a few years ago that
only five members attended the an

A CHURCH MERGER

Twenty Protestant denominations
will send delegates to a convention
at Philadelphia February 3-6, to o m
slider a merger of Christian interestst
The propose is to form a council of
these denominations. 1t would open
the way way to a gradual merging of
the interests of these bodies.
Sectarian spirit has created costly
duplication and harmful rivalry. 1t
has lowered the efficiency Of the
church. 1t splits worshipping bodies
into little congregations that are too
small to command influence, and can
not afford to pay their ministers a
living wage.
The churches are not private
clubs. They were created to spread
the Christian religion. They should
sink the little prejudices and Twee-
dedum and Tweedledee differences
that keep them apart, contrary to the
spirit of Christ.

MAKING 100 PERCENT
BOYS AND GIRLS

That Hope has the truly progress
i've spirit was shown by the attend
ance at the alst Teachers and Par
ents' Association meeting held at the
close of the splendid work done by
Miss Cora Farley, who gave us the
benefit Of her expert service for IL
week in locating our physical weak
nesses.
Any of us can remember, if we
bark back to the time of our early
school days, that in our school room
there were two or three children who
were backward and who were gem
orally the butt of all our practical
jokes, and who were stunned as not
being II of us. There were also
two OF three that were Intermittent
ly out of school because of sickness,
and when in school had to be petted
on account Of their sickly condition.
AS they went on through the grades
they were either dropped behind like
sticks floating out Of the current Of
a stream, or finally left school al
together
AS we look at it now, though We
did not think much of it then, we
Can see them as having been physical
ly and mentally the stunted children
of the class. And this stuntedness
was accepted by teachers and parents
as a decree of providence and we did
not inquire into the causes.
Anyone who has lived on the farm
and has seen the spring crop Of pigs,
lambs and chickens grow up, will re-
member hal in any bunch of little
pigs there are Always two or three
socalled %"runts." There are also the
little hunched up ambs that do not
get enough to eat and can not join in
the genera freshness of the flock.
Some of the little pigs will be wheezy
and some of the title lambs will
have the snitfles. How many of us
will remember having given such
scrawny little lambs or runted pigs
special care, and then raised them to
a healthy normal sized animal that
was as big if not bigger than any on
the farm when fall came. The Sc
cret of our success lay in the fact
that VIC gave these little stragglers
an extra mdoicum Of care, and | am
wondering whether we are as fair
to our children sometimes as we are
to Il little pigs and wheezy lambs.
Ii we should do so we would find
that at the end Of the school course
INST OF these backward and under
nourished children would have prov
Ell out as we'll as any in the class.
Among every group of school chill
dren there are those who are so
handicapped by physical defects, want
OF proper nourishment and bad health
habits that their mental progress is
hlndered. All Of these shOrtcom-
ings can be remedied if we will but
try hard enough. Let us carry on
the work that our nurse has so we'll
begun, an in which the doctor and
dentist have SO generously assisted,
and let us see to it that our children
will have the proper care and nour-
lshment If we do so we shall have
just cause to be proud of our efforts
for the results will more than repay
us fl all we may have done. Let us
work for 100 percent boys and girls
in Hope,-it is a big job, but one
that is mighty worth while.
SUPT. SCHWALJE.

In New York, largely an industrial

another scalp to their belts Thursday
AFTERNOON in the interclass basketball
tournament when they defeated the
seniors by the decisive score of % to
H. 1t was the underclassmen's day
for in the following game the sophie
mores beat the juniors, "a to IL.
This afternoon the freshmen and
are scheduled to meet, and
the juniors and seniors.
The yearlings sprung a surprise
Wednesday night, when they humbled
the facetious juniors to the tune of a
80 to score in the first interclass
Ream to better pick his material for
the varsity. The freshmen literally
played the third year men from their
feet, and the work of Simpson, Brun-
ton and Edgell was a large factor in
the Junior defeat. Simpson, captain
cinched himself a place on the var
sity quintet by his remarkable scoring
abilities. Time and again, the fighting
juniors found themselves unable to
hold Simpson away from the basket.
He was the high scorer of the game,
the yearlings. All three of these hIcn
were, chosen for the a1l-state high
school team after they had shown
their wares to good advantage in the
tournament at Washburn last spring.
After the victorious freshmen had
retired from the scene of battle. the
sophomores repeated the freshman ac-
ton. and ran up a score of 10 against
the seniors 9. Altho the second game
did not hold the interest of the specta-
tors as did the yearling contest, tire
game was hard fought thruout, with
Joerg and Poort working like truck
horses for the seniors.

we have had an increase, because of
the fact that we handle very little

hardest hit
Express Shipments Decrease.
Express shipments have reflected
the decreasing business in the same
way as the freight business has done,
according to E. E. Brayman, Topeka
agent for the American Railway Ex-
press company. The express company
for a time was called on to handle
more shipments than usual because
the merchants were buying in small
lots and not asking for freight ship
ments of large quantities of goods. but
even this type of business has fallen
off.
Passenger Business Increases.
Passenger business, in spite of the
decrease in freight business, has been
on a steady increase during the past
few months, reports from all the roads
show.
1t is believed that the railroads in
the east where business depression has
been more marked than in the middle
west, will show greater decrease than
in this section of the country

New York, Dec. 10.-A project to
bri1;g coal from the anthracite regions

give,l consideration today by the city
docks and health commissioners.
The plan was submitted to Mayor
Hylan by Reginald P. Bolton. MEM
Der of the American Society of Nc
chanical Engineers, who explained that
between this city and Scranton, Pa,
there is a fall in elevation of about two
thousand. feet, and that it would be
easy to transport coal in this fashion

He claimed seven million tons of
coal could be brought thru the pipes
every year, which would supply the

Freight shipments on roads into

parsons made with the month of No

The decrease is particularly evident
in two lines of business and the drop
in one-grain and grain products
