PICTURE TO BE GIVEN
TO CREATE INTEREST

At the meeting of the parents and
teachers Wednesday afternoon it
was decided to make cooperative
effort to increase the attendance , of
mothers at the future meetings of
the. Parent-Teacher association. The
association believes that the best
means of reaching the mother is
through the child so the members re-
solved to purchase two beautiful
framed pictures, copies of master
pieces, and hang them in the room of
the grade, one at the graded school
and one at the high school, which
had the greatest number of mothers
at the next meeting of the association
February 18th. So long as the grade
that first wins the picture has the
greatest number of their mothers
present at the meetings the picture
remains in that room. If a grade
should win the picture three success
sive times it shall become their per-
manent property and new picture
will be offered by the association.
Should a mother have children in
more than one grade her attendance
will count for one point for each
;rade in which she has child en-
rolled.
The officers of the association are
very anxious to secure "a 100 per cent
attendance and membership of the
mothers of the schools and are de-
termined to at least double the at
tendance at the February meeting
over what it was Wednesday after
noon. Each mother present Wednes-
day was requested to bring another
member with her February 18th, and
the grades in both high and graded
school are working in earnest to Sc
:ure the pictures next month, and
to hold them.
Mrs. w. P. Greene, Mrs. Amos B.
Morse and Mrs. J. D. Fulp were ap-
pointed on a committee to arrange a
parents program for the next meet
ing which promises to be something
unique. This will be the first time that
the school children Or teachers have
not furnished the program.

ley desired. All these papers were
stolen from Smiley. I found them in
Edmund's possession. When I at
tempted to secure possession of them
Edmund flew into a passion and
threatened to take my life as well
as that of my mother. I gave up
all hope of getting the deeds back
and his conduct is such that 1 am
afraid he will kill me at any mo-
ment and I want you to prepare my
will, giving all of my property to
my brother Smiley, and charging
him, as I know he will, to take care
of my mother and my two little
adopted boys"
Mr.. Arrowsmith further declared
that he drew the will as instructed
and it was witnessed by himself, G..
T. Bryce and Marshall w. Bridges
and that he incorporated in the will
the statement of Mrs. Rlack to him
regarding the threats :gainst her
life.

PLANS FROM BORAH
WINS APPROVAL
Step Taken Toward International
Observation-Disclosures Be-
tween United States, Great
Britain and Japan Recon-
mended in Bill

Washington, Jan. 20.-A definite
step toward international disarma-
ment was taken by the senate for
eign relations committee today in
ordering a favorable report on the
resolution of Senator Borah, Repub-
lican, Idaho proposing, negotiations
between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan to reduce naval
programs.
Discussion Of the resolution in the
senate is not planned before next
week and action on it at the pres
ent session is conceded to be in
doubt. Advocates Of the resolution,
however, hope the senate debate will
give impetus to general disarma-
ment sentiment here and abroad.
The committee approved the Borah
resolution without a roll call after
it had voted down, 8 to 8 an alter
native resolution by Senator Walsh
Democrat, Montant, proposing Am
erican participation In discussion of
the league of nations disarma-
ment commission. All democrats
commission. All Democrats present
supported the Walsh measure and
all Republicans voted against it.
Senator Shields, Democrat, Tennes-
see, although absent was recorded
i'm opposition.
Some changes were made in the
Borah resolution by the committee.
One was the inclusion of the provi-
sion that any agreements between
the United States, Great Britain
and Japan for naval building reduc-
tions should be promulgated formal
ly by treaty. Another amendment
struck out Senator Borah's original
proposal to negotiate for so per
cent. reduction in naval building,
the committee deciding to leave this
question open for whatever reduc-
ton might be arranged.
Confinement of the negotiations to
the three principal naval powers as
originally proposed by Senator
Borah, was approved by the commit
tee, proposal by Senator McCum-
Der, Republican, North Dakota, to
include France and Italy in the par
leys, being rejected.
Senator Borah plans to call up
the resolution in the senate the first
opportunity, probably next week.
