High School
Alumni to Dis
cuss School
Situation
VIII Meet Next Friday Euening
Initial Step ToWard Secur.
ing New Building to
be Considered

The Alumni Association of the
Newark High School has called an
important meeting to be held at
the High School next Friday even
ing at 7 o'clock. Every member
is urged to be present. The chief
topic for consideration, will be
that Of arousing sentiment in
favor of the erection of new
school building "a matter which in
the light of the present crowded
conditions in the public schools,
the unsanitary condition of the
buildings, and the disadvantages
under which the pupils and teach
ers are compelled to labor, the
loyal alumni feel should be at
tended to without delay.
At the annual reunion and din
ner held last June the Association
pledged itself to an active interest
in the affairs of the local schools
and at Fridays meeting definite
steps will doubtless be taken and
plans outlined for the betterment
of school conditions here.
According to Investigations
made recently, the grammar school
rooms are crowded beyond their
capacity. The library has recent
ly been turned into a classroom to
relieve congestion in the Fourth
and Seventh Grades, an additional
teacher secured and an effort thus
made to better conditions. This
room is now overcrowded as we'll
as the regular Seventh Grade
room. An enrolment of 76 in the
First Grade necessitated the erec-
ton of a portable building which
houses a number of the pupils and
is in charge of Miss Sara c.
Brown. The usual influx of stu
dents At the mid-year will lcreate
again q congested condition here.
These and other things equally
serious impel the Alumni to i'm
mediate action. They are partic-
ularIy desirous of having a large
4 attendance on Friday evening and
have set an early hour to avoid
i conflict with other engagements.

Local Workers Ready for
Fourth Red Cross Roll Call
viii Begin Tomonav Appeal for Membership
Funds Needed to Finish War Work and Garry Out
Constructive Program of Health Conservation -
and Disaster Relief
viii Begin 7omorraw

Mrs. Daniel M. Thompson,
Mayor Eben B. Frazer, and others
active in Red Cross work in the
town are ready to make the Red
Cross appeal in support of the
Fourth Roll Call. Tomorrow, Arm
istice Day, marks the opening of
this campaign which makes an ir-
resistible appeal alike to soldier
and civilian, who knows of the
heroic war time service and the
equally heroic but less spectacular
peace-time service of this organ
ization.
The imperative need of gener-
Gus response to the Fourth Roll
Call is voiced in the following
telegram sent by DR.. Livingston
Farrand, chairman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, to Henry P. Scott,
State Chairman:
"The Red Cross comes to its
Fourth Roll Call with it's war task
unfinished. Never were world and
national needs so pressing and
corresponding opportunities for
service so great. The world has
not been able even to approach re-
establishment after the war. Wide
spread distress and sickness stare
us in the face in Europe, and the
Red Cross is carrying on to the
extent of it's resources in an at
tempt to answer the call to help.
How permanent and far-reaching
this help shall be, depends upon
the minds and consciences of the
American people.
Many Invalid Soldiers.
"At home the wounded and sick
soldiers and sailors in hospitals
and elsewhere are still numbered
by the thousands. The Red Gross
cannot demobilize it's forces, or
ganized to stand by those who
gave their best for their country
and must extend what aid and
comfort may be possible.
"An attempt to build up the
health of the country, which is the
outstanding feature of the peace
program of the Red Cross, is tax
ing the energies of the organiza
ton. Demands for visiting nurses
come from every corner of the
United States, and every effort is
being made to supply that need
the filling of which is vital.

SENT TO CONGRESS
WISCONSIN CONFERENCE PASSES

ARMENIAN RELIEF.

The following resolution has been
engrossed and mailed to the president
of the United States Senate and to
the Clerk of the House of Represent
atives in Washington in accordance
with the instructions of the state con
ference of the Near East Relief in con
vention assembled December Z, 1920
in Milwaukee:
WHEREAS, The suffering and sor.
row that have been and are still be.
ing entailed on the people of Armenia
through the fiendish cruelty and bar
barous treatment of the Turk, are
such as should awaken the conscience
of the civilized world to effect a rem.
edy, and
WHEREAS, The generous contri.
buttons of relief from the citizens of
the United States have thus far saved
Armen from destruction as nation
and as they were our staunch and
valiant allies in the world war, sacri-
ficing more in proportion to popula-
ton than any other of the allied coun-
tries, losing more than 100000 of
their male citizens and leaving hun
dreds of thousands of helpless women
and orphans, who must be provided
for if saved from starvation, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, BY this conference of
Near East Relief delegates in conven-
ton assembled, representing every
county in Wisconsin. that we respect
fully petition and urgently request
Congress to take such steps as may be
necessary to provide relief for the
stricken Armenians and protection
from the Turk hereafter. We ask this
as protection for the investments that
we have made and are still making in
Armenia and in response to those ties
of bloody sacrifice made in the same
cause with the sons of Wisconsin and
the United States and we ask it in
the name of common humanity and
the obligations of Christian civiliza-
ton"

AIMS OF FARM BUREAU

The object of the Wisconsin Farm
Bureau Federation is to promote the
general interests of agriculture so as
to establish the business of farming
upon permanent and profitable ba-
Sis. The profit derived by the farm
er TO depend upon his good business
management, labor performed and
capital invested. In other words, up
on a reasonable cost of production
plus fair profit. We grant and ac-
cord every other industry this privil-
ege and demand the same for our
selves.
No industry is so subject to the ell
ement of natural chance as that of
agriculture. The farmer must at all
times contend with the possibility of
losing his crops and consequently his
years income through the agency of
floods, frost, hail, hot winds,
droughts, insect pests, plant diseases,
etc. Added to this is the artificial
chance caused by the manipulations
of the markets, transportation sys-
TENS, statistics and advertising prop
uganda by dealers and spectators in
farm products. This element is alb
solutely unnecessary and it is the
aim of the Farm Bureau Federation,
through its bureaus of Markets,
Transportation, Statistics, Education
and Legislation, to do away with this
force which is not only inimical to
the interests Of the producers of agri-
cultureai products but to tie consum-
Ell as we'll.
Since agriculture is and must be
the foundation stone upon which the
continued prosperity of any nation
rests, it is of the utmost importance
not only to the farmers but to the So
ciety as a whole, that constructive,
broad minded action be taken to in
sure its permanence. With this point
in view it is the aim of the Farm
Bureau to foster and maintain cam
paign looking towards the conserva-
ton of soil fertility, proper equip
ment with machinery, improved live
stock, better seeds and grains, ade
quate supply of farm labor, more
comfortable homes and home sur
roundings, better schools, churches,
roads, social conditions, etc. All these
things, however, contingent upon ag-
riculture being placed upon an eco
nomic basis which will yield financial
returns commensurate with its I'M
portance, and to warrant the neces-
sary expenditures.
1t is the aim of he Farm Bureau
to cooperate with every existing or
ganization which is sincerely and
whole heartedly working towards
better agricultural conditions. Since
the Farm Bureau is so broad in prin-
icipal and in scope that it embraces

Sc O|T|0N BILLS
OPPOSED BY | LAB 00R Or
Gompers Serves Notice of Fight
to Prevent Passing of ALI
the Proposed Legis-
lation.

Washington, AIN. 20.-Formal an
nounc-fneni that the american Z z, t3era-
ton of Labor would oppose with
whatever power it may possess" the
enactment of the anti-sedition bills
now pending in congress was made
Sunday in a statement issued by Sam
uel Gompers president of the fedora
ton.
The president of the federation OF
labor, its chieftain indicated. would be
directed impartially against the Ster-
ling bill recently passed by the Senate,
and against the Gramm measure based
on suggestions of Attorney General
Palmer and awaiting action by the
House rules committee for special
rule to expedite considera ton.
Referring to the two measures as one
bill, President Gompers declared its
enactment would violate the consti-
tuition and rob the whole American peo-
pie of their most cherished and basic
guarantees of free government
II the American people, and in fact
a ma jority of members of congress-,
Mr. Gompers asserted, were awake to
the dangers concealed in this bill. a
storm OF Indignation would sweep the
nation.
1t has been widely advertised that
this measure protects free speech fully,
but prevents advocacy OF forcible revo-
luton, boishevisn and anarchy. In
fact il would perpetuate an autocratie
censorship over the entire American
people. 1t can be used to kill free
speech and free assembly. 1t strikes
deadly blow ct legitimate organiza-
tons Of labor or any other progressive
movement for the betterment OF the
masses, which may be opposed by the
! advocates of privilege and reaction
