WANTS THRIFTY PUPILS
State Superintendent of Schools Ap-
proves Sales of War Saw
ings Stamps.

Columbus, O.-(Special )-Superin-
tendent of Schools Vernon M. Riegel
has called upon the school children
of Ohio to become more thrifty by
saving their pennies and investing
them in Thrift and War Savings
Stamps. The head Of the schools in
Ohio shortly is to issue a course of
study in Thrift, the practical part of
which will be the sale of War Saw
fngs securities. This course is pre-
scribed by the Freeman law, which
was passed by the last general assem-
bly,.
Almost every school child in Ohio
at some time during the last three
years has purchased a Thrift or War
Savings Stamp. The sale during the
first half of this year was very heavy
in the schools and the government
hopes to increase this sale during the
fall months.
War Savings officials join with the
superintendent Of schools in appeal
ing to the teachers of the state to
push the sale of War Savings Stamps.

Americanism, yet some of them have
used every conceivable means to in
timidate and humiliate those council
men who have in the gas controversy
put Americanism paramount to all
else, as was the case of the council
man who said, 81 was elected by the
people of the sixth ward, and until
those people, or the majority of them,
express their approval of the increase
l will vote against the ordinance"
1t is time the people of Newark
wake up and take cognizance of the
situation, as there are very few peo-
pie who really know what the gas
controversy really means to the city.

Light Lunch In Missouri.

The man who never could get
enough doughnuts EVIDENTLY lives in
Boonville. The Central Missouri Re
publican says he visited the window
sale of doughnuts recently held by a
local woman's lodge. His first pur-
chase was dozen doughnuts, which
he ate on the spot. Without heaving
a sigh he added second dozen to
the late casualties and then bought
arother six to fill the crannies and
made way with them without a sign
of even becoming languid.-Kansas
City Times.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-12-03

All men, or bodies of men, chosen to
represent a community, should ex-
pect, as it is impossible to please all,
to be criticised, and when they err in
tentionally they deserve reproach.
Representative bodies are frequent
ly confronted with perplexing prob
lens, and their decisions are some
times diametrical to the views of
those they represent, thus provoking
criticism which in many cases is due
to lack of interest by the persons who
are most vitally interested.
At present, and for some time past,
the city councilmen have had under
consideration one Of the most con-
fusing problems than those who have
never been placed in a similar posi-
tion have any conception, namely the
price of natural gas, and sarcastic
comments of citizens, both those who
favor granting an increase and those
opposed, are unkind and unjust, and
in the majority of cases they are the
expressions of individuals who pos
sess glib tongues and empty heads.
The writer has for a number of
years been in close touch with the
proceedings of the controversy, and
he knows that each individual mem
ber of the council, including the pres
ident and the clerk, is an honest in
telligent man, with the courage to
stand by his convictions.
The one great trouble with many
citizens of Newark is that they find
fault with others when the fault lies
in themselves, and this is especially
true in the gas case. Every time the
question of an increased rate has
come before the council the people
were notified and requested to be
present so as to learn the facts; but
except on the last occasion the
audience consisted of from one to
five or six citizens. On one parti-
cular occasion there were four men in
attendance, but streets were clogged
with automobiles burning gasoline re-
gardless of price, and the Auditorium,
where burlesque show was in pro-
gress, was packed to its capacity with
people of all classes craning their
necks at bevy of feminine beauties
executing the far famed shimmy
dance. No one seemed to care about
the price of gas so long as their per-
sonal pleasures were not interfered
with. A great number of the most
disgruntled citizens are those who
seem to be imbued with the idea that
the councilmen are mind readers and
should be able to vote their senti-
ments without any expression from
their constituents.
The people of Newark, like those
of all other cities, have done a lot of
fiag-waving and shouting about

THE GAS QUESTION
(By John Bush)

Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Good name in man or woman, my
Lord,
Who steals my purse steals thrash,
But he that filches from me my good
name
Robs me of that which not enriches
him,
And makes me poor indeed.

Olive Tree introduced in
Golden State by Priests;
Mission Variety Popular

The ancient scrap between Minerva,
who gave the olive, and Apollo. who
bestowed the horse upon mankind. was
decided, as will be remembered, In
favor of the lady-the dispute being
as to which of the two gifts was the
more valuable.
To understand the reason for this
decision, one ought to live in the
Mediterranean region, where the olive
is a vital factor in the lives of the peo-
pie. They could much more easily
spare the equine quadruped.
Olive culture has already assumed
great Importance in our own country.
In 1916 (the latest year for which fig
ures are available) there were in Cali
fornia S34,93S olive trees in bearing,
and 515,221'not yet old enough to yield
fruit. The states production in that
year was 100000 gallons Of olive oil
and 100000 gallons Of picked olives.
The olive tree was introduced In
California by Spanish priests, the first
grove being planted In San Diego In
1850. From those trees is descended
what Is today the most popular variety.
the so-called Mission olive.
