BURGLARS WORK IN FIRST
WARD HOMES LAST NIGHT

SLOUGH hat, and he wore mask Owe
his face
!! The ease with which the maj
/ worked in the Cole house marks MN
as professional, and the police are
looking for him not only in Keokuf
| but have sent out description &c
nearby towns.
Entrance was gained to the John
Fl. Cole residence through big win
dow downstairs. The burglar took
out the screen there and entered
through this window. He also made
his escape through the same open
ing. He evidently worked the lower
part of the house before going up
stairs. He went through drawer
in desk and found some money. HE
took this out of the envelope and put
it in his pocket. He passed up sew
eral old coins and pocket pieces.
He then went upstairs and into the
room occupied by Miss Ora Cole. He
evidently made a good survey of the
articles in the room, and picked UP
a small ring with pearl setting.
He did not take larger ring that
was on the dresser and did not dis
turb other things there.
In walking out Of the room the
burglar shut the door leading into
the hall. This awakened Miss Cole,
and she heard board creak in the
hall as if someone were stepping out
there, and she realized that the door,
which is left open for ventilation,
had been closed
Miss Cole Sees Man.
She stepped out into the ball and
turned on the light. In the meantime
the burglar had gone into Mr.. Coles
room, and evidently the turning on
Of the light hurried him, for he pick
ed up the clothes and started out,
and did not seem to make much of a
search of the room. AS he passed
Miss Cole he covered her with re-
volver. She cried out:
Don't you shoot" and this aroused
her father. The man ran down stairs
and out Of the window and Miss Cole
,alled for help, and Miss Davis,
across the street, sent in the police
all.
Neighbors saw the man come out ;
If the house and turn down Third |
street. He walked down the side
walk, and, according to one neighbor, !
walked heavily, as if wearing hob !
lail shoes. This and the fact that !
he man was seen to stoop over when !

The Salem Church was all closed up
Upon last Sabbath Day,
Because the School for novelty
Had all just run away.
They loaded up their cars with care
And all to Jasper went,
To visit at the church up there
A great surprise intent.
But when they started to come back
A big surprise for them,
For Jasper had dinner fine
All ready for them then.
Two surprises in one day,
And every one made glad.
A day Of Christian fellowship,
The best we've ever had.
Miss Templin had pleasant call
OF young folks Friday night.
They brought shower OF kitchen things
To her great delight.
The Lyceum at Carytown,
A quite attractive thing,
Discusses questions of the day
Debate, recite and sing.

For dinner Sunday had
Hi Rusk and all his family
Jim Bull's-and all were glad.
Ferguson's Ralph and Edith had
Tonsilitis for asspell
But we are glad to write it out
They both are getting we'll.
Carter's plastered all their house
Just while thejweather's warm
A new roof on McReynolds' so
The rain can do no harm.
The farmers are all busy getting
Feed and food on tap,
So they can 60 hunting when
We get our first cold snap.
Protracted meetings Monday night
At Salem are beginning
Irwin French Of Carthage will
Have charge Of all the singing.

Attendance should be good,
But sickness will keep some at home
Who would cope il they could.

KEEP ALIEN TEACHERS OUT OF U SCHOOLS

Superintendent MacCaughey says that all teachers in the public
schools ought to be American citizens. The statement seen Sc matter
of course as to be quite superhuous. Perhaps most of us will ever
be surprised to learn that there are + could be alien teachers in our
schools, particularly in the primary grades. But there are; and Mr.
MacCaughey deserves credit for bringing the fact to the fore.
Within the past week many of us have laughed or exclaimed al
the presumption OF a Japanese Buddhist bishop who Announces that
his priests are to teach Americanism to the japanese ii the Islands
Yet We must admit that the idea is not so greatly aiferent to that OF
intrustng to other persons who ire aliens the sacred t2k of shaping
the plastic minds of our children.
The blind cannot lead the blind; and a person who 5 not Ameri
can absolutely in spirit as well as in appearance anG beech, cannot
impart Amercanism to others.
Nor should the department of public instruction be satisfied tina;
a teacher bears the label of an American. 1t should not only make
this a first requisite to appointment, but should look back of the label
in all cases.
This might not seem so important on the mainland where every
influence surrounding a child is largely American. But here in Ha-
wan, where alien influences are predominant we ca lot afford to take
a single chance. A teacher in our schools must ST < up 100 percent
American. 1t is YOUR business, and MY business, and the business
OF every other American to look into this matter.
