MILITARY TRAINING UNPOPULAR

Congress has ceased to regard the
possibility of making laws for compul-
sorry military training Of our youths.
This subject, which was kept in the
forefront for many months, has been
definitely dropped for the present
term. Probably the unpopularity of
the scheme weighed on the minds of
congressman, who feared that such a
law would have tendency to affect
votes.
1t was pointed out from the time
OF the armistice that as the war was
fought to eliminate miiitarism, it
would be rather astonishing to have
a species of militarism foisted upon
Ethe nation after the wars victorious
conclusion. The supposition that pre-
Gparedness for war is a preventative of
war apparently has not made much
of an impression upon the majority
rof citizens. Germany was better pre-
pared thar any other nation for war,
and all its great preparedness did
was TO encourage and provoke a war.
There is only one way to prevent
wars, and that is for all nations not
to have the tools of war handy; but
as this is nearly too much to expect at
this time in this world of suspicion,
rivalry and jealousies, the next best
plan is to keep the war-making es-
adjustments down to the minimum
deemed necessary.
The argument that compulsory mil
itary training in peace would merely
be an entering wedge into schemes
for greater and more extended meth
ods, even suggesting militarism. was
potent factor in making the plan
unpopular among the people as a
whole, though the scheme manifestly
had plenty of defenders among a GER
tain class Of metropolitan newspapers
and magazines.

1t is stated by the superficial that
some day the railroads will become
nothing more than accessories TO a
highly organized motor truck service.
This of course is all bosh. 1t was q
few years ago when electricity was
to put the railroads out of business
so far as steam propulsion was con-
cerned, but except for the electrifi-
cation of mountain stretches far re-
moved from coal resources, and the
use of electricity for suburban SER
vice, it is evident that the good old
steam kettles on wheels will remain
our most economical method of long
distance transportation.

If 1t were assured that every wom-
an would vote the same ticket as
her husband there would be little
objection to her ballot rights.
1t is said that President Wilson rath-
.er enjoys seeing the senate squirm
That probably is his way Of getting
even with it. AS for the President,
all will agree that with his health
back he will know how to enjoy life
motoring and golfing, and will not
allow such measly things as politics
and senatorial arguments to affect
his eye on the golf course nor inter
fere with his relish of the smooth
motoring roads around Washington.

At every official Hart-Parr test ever enter

At the greatest tractor test of all time, held

I selected the Hart-Parr 80 because, to the
best of my knowledge. it offered the great
est tractor value per dollar, on the market
--because it was backed by 10 years ex-
perience in tractor building g--because it was
simple--its working parts easily accessible
and it's construction sturdy.
Proof of my opinion lies in the performance
of Hart-Parr 80 in official tests and on the

AS everyone will remember, Wednesday was an ideal spring day; every high school student will re- member that day as being very suf- locating in the rooms, our desks seemed unusually small, and the pages of our lessons yard long.

 Bookkeeping has always taken more time than actual labor, and now that we have finished it the people must not be surprised to find us at the show oftener, or lettering on the streets after school.
 "'Freckles' was his name" There are many to whom the name might be applied at home here, for the sun kisses are surely blossoming out in fine order, especially among our en- chanting "Cigarettesses."

 The sand tables in the primary room have been turned into gardens, wherein the tiny hearts of peas, mas turtiums and beans slumber. In the corner pussy-willows are taking root, later to be planted for future useful ness. But the corner that attracts the eye most is the shelf of bright vel low daffodils and fragrant narclssus. Soon the lilies and hyacinths will add their delicate faces to the row.

A number of people who are unable to visit school during the regular hours have expressed a wish to visit various grades when their time per sSits. AS it is impossible for the regu- lar school hours to be convenient for all, Miss Keever has planned on q Friday evening session soon instead of the usual afternoon class. Recita- tiOns covering our most interesting subjects will be given special atten- tion. The exact date of this evening class will be announced later, and we hope for a large attendance of all the school patrons.
 School will be dismissed May 19- Isn't it grand and glorious feeling, though?
 Six of the high school girls have formed humane society,"" and their neighbors insist the results are any thing but what the name suggests.

 A most enjoyable study of ornithol- ogy has been introduced into the pri- mary grade. Wednesday afternoon Miss Kolbenson accompanied her pupils on 8 "bird walk" and a num- Der of our Cordova birds were iden- tifed. A chart, with mounted colOred birds, has list of birds found in this district, of which the latest is the 'Lazuli-bunting" recognized Wednes- day. All of the children are enthu- .siastic over this new study
