LITTLE BILLIE" PETERSON
DIES THIS AFTERNOON

1t is with deepest sympathy that we
record the death of Villa Curtis Pc
tersen, who passed away at four
o'clock this afternoon. Billie" as
she was known to her many friends,
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Hardin Petersen. She was nearly
three years old, and an unusually
bright and attractive little maiden.
She had been i'll for about two weeks,
and her condition has been critical
for several days. Two trained nurses
were in attendance and everything
possible was done to save the precious
life. Funeral arrangements have not
been made.

exist after being associated with them.
DR.. J. A. Garrard spoke along the
same line, stating that while he had
been a member only a short time, he
especially referring to the faithful
ness of Superintendent Moore in stay
ing on the job at time when the edu-
cational interests of the county were
at stake. He commended his firm de-
termination to stand the test until the
last.
Mr.. Bowers also spoke feelingly
o. the friendly relations he had with
his co-workers, stating, however that
he never liked to use the expression
that he had done the best he could,
but that he hoped it would be the pur-
pose and intention Of the pew mem
bers to do even more than they had
done. He talked along the lines of
improvement, believing we should i'm
prove as time moves on. In introduc-
ing Mr.. Wilson, his successor, he ex-
pressed himself as being satisfied that
his place would be filled by a man
thoroughly capable and efficient.
Mr.. Wilson in a few we'll chosen
remarks, briefly outlined his policy as
member of the new board, stating he
hoped and felt sure the same spirit Of
cooperation would exist with the new
board as was expressed by the re-
marks of the retiring board.
Clerk Woodard briefly stated that it
had becen a pleasure to him to work
with such a body of men and ex-
pressed his regret that the time had
come when several members would
retire. He thanked the board most
heartily for it's cooperation. He also
predicted a continuation of the good
work accomplished.
uperintendent-elect Parker re-
ferred to the conscientious efforts of
the former board, commencing the
work in general, but laid particular
stress upon the remark of Mr.. Bowers
that it should be the purpose of each
new board member to strive to do
even more for the cause of education
III this county than had even been
done in the past. That each one could
have but one motive in view-that be-
ing to do at all times the things which
will be of the greatest good to the
greatest number, regardless of fear or
favor. He assured the board it would
be his purpose to keep them we'll in
formed as to matters which it is his
duty to investigate and report.
The new board proceeded to organ
ize by electing Mr.. Murrell chairman
and appointing j. D. Woodard as
clerk and H. K. 0lliphant as attorney
for the present administration.
On motion, the board adjourned.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. IA favorable
report was unanimously ordered by
the Senate military committee on the
resolution directing the secretary Of
war to stop army enlistments until
the total number of enlisted men is
reduced to 174,000.
It was announced in the Senate to-
day that evidences as to the coal
prices paid in 1920 by the war depart
ment has been transmitted to the de-
partment of justice with recommen-
dation for action. This announce
ment was made by Chairman Calder.
1t was shown in the hearing yester-
day that while the bureau of mines
was burning coal at $40 ton
through an arrangement with the Ma
tional Coal Association which re-
quired no fees, the war department
was buying coal at over 81 a ton
through Col. D. B. Wentz, president
of the association, on a commission
basis.
In a running debate yesterday be-
tween Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
and Senator Reed of Missouri, Her
bert Hoovers food administration in
Europe was criticised and defended.
Hitchcock met Reeds charge that
food intended for use of the starving
people of Europe had been diverted
to the support of the Polish army,
by eulogizing the work done by Hoov-
er as an accomplishment whose mag
nitude the world wonders at. He
denied that any of the relief funds
had been turned over to the Polish
army.
Reed retorted that it made no diff
ference whether it went to the army
directly or to take care of the people
al home while the army was fighting.
II enabled Poland to keep armies in
the field when otherwise, the men
would have had to stay at home to
provide for their families. Senator
Reed also criticised American policies
which, he said, prevented the re-
opening of American commerce with
Russia and Germany
Reed to Boost FOrdney Act
Senator Penrose has announced his
intention of supporting the Fordney
tariff act, but declares he will ask
for certain changes in the rates, and
probably insist upon the inclusion of
other articles. Opponents of the meas
ure were not disconnected by the Sen
ator's announcement. His course, it
is declared, is dictated by politics,
and he was hurried to a decision, it
is further suggested, by the insist
ence of advocates of the measure who
wanted to know whether he was for
it or against it.
Some of the opponents of the meas
ure expect to support all proposed
amendments with the motion of so
loading it down with Objectionable
features that the house will reject
it when it goes back.
