Your School and School Teacher.

1 In a few days now our boys and
girls will again be in the midst OF
lessons. Fathers and mothers will
then be occupied each evening with
the task of trying to call back know
ledge, stored away score or more
years ago, to help Willie or Mary over
the rough places.
1t is we'll, at this time, to call to
attention that parents should start
right with the school teacher. One
mistake made so often Is that the
school teacher is not given the proper
support from the home. The teachers
elected by your Board Of Trustees are
put in these responsible positions
after careful consideration OF their
character and ability and you should
realize they have the interest of your
child at heart.
Parents are too prone to accept
without question their children's side
of a difficulty at school and will
censure the. teacher in the presence
of the child without taking the pains
to 20 to the teacher for the other
side of the story. This often leads
to the child's losing respect for the
teacher and causes no end Of trouble
thereafter. ..'.s"
A good plan to plan to follow Is
to meet the teacher, who will teach
your boy or girl this year, then visit
the school room and stay long enough
to know how the lessons are taught
and il your child has trouble with the
teacher get both sides before you pass
judgment.
Don't criticise the school until you
20 and see for yourself You can hurt
its usefulness by telling what some
one told you. A little more "pulling
together" with the teachers this year
will make a more successful school
year for Cheraw.

CENSURE BRITISH new RICH
War Profiteers Don't Give to Charity,
40 They Should, old Arls-
tocraey Chargea

The English new rich" have to bear
almost as much criticism as the prime
minister, and from almost as mixed
source. Their natural enemies are the
poor and the new poor, and the latter
element seems to feel strongest on the
subject. The aristocracy have taken
lately to publishing their sentiments
about the people who have usurped
their place. One of the charges they
make is that the new rich don't know
how to give, and that as a result hos
pitals and charitable institutions are
being forced to close up. 1t may not
be, say the aristocracy obviously, that
the new rich are wilfully selfish. But
they are not used to money, and so
are not used to giving 1t away. An
other allegation, made by a peppery
daughter of an impoverished duke, was
that the new rich had never done any
thing to make the world beautiful and
that rs class they had produced no
great art or literature.
Socially the new rich have to pear
the brunt Of all the changes. An ac-
tress said the other day that she never
saw before the war the people who
now fill the stalls in the theaters. The
people with good manners who used to
sit In stalls before the war have dis
appeared and their successors lack
breeding. One day somebody ate Or
anges in the stalls and the feeling Of
calamity in aristocratic circles was
strong for weeks.
EXTREMES In styles are also blamed
on the women of the profiteer class,
who are declared by their enemies to
have learned the art Of dressing in
their original homes in the East end
Of London.-Mary Henke in Los An
geles Express.

OFFERS REWARD FOR FORD
Burlingame Man Has Cards Printed
Offering Reward From Sheriff
Robert MfIer-Shawnee County
Official Knew Nothing of 1t.

Frank E. Smith, of Burlingame, had
a Ford touring car stolen from the
fair grounds when the circus was in
Topeka last week.
Smith had cards printed. giving a
full and complete description of the
stolen car, winding up by offering a
reward of $50 for its return and print
ing Sheriff Robert MiIer's name at the
bottom.
When one of the cards reached the
sheriffs desk at the court house that
official shifted his position. adjusted
his glasses and took a second look.
Say, the way that thing reads I'm
responsible for that fifty dollar re-
ward" exclaimed Miller.
Edward Rooney, attorney. happened
to step into the room just at the time
the sheriff made the discovery
Here Ed. you're a good lawyer,
read this and tell me what it means"
ordered the sheriff, showing the card
into the attorneys hands.
Rooney read slowly and carefully
and upon finishing politely and firmly
told Miller that he was offering a re-
ward of $50 for the return of the
stolen automobile.
Maybe am and maybe I'm not"
roared Miller, IT don't think I am but
thing about it."
Then came action. Smith was sent
for and the matter explained Smith
said that he left the wording of the
notice to a job printer. Miller said he
could go ahead and send out the re-
mainder of his cards provided he de-
posted fifty dollars with him. The
matter was finally disposed of when
Smith took a pen and ink and signed
the cards. putting his signature above
the sheriffs name. Attorneys say this
not only protects Miller. but smith
agrees to pay the $50 II the car is
found and guaranteed the sheriff the
reward wouldn't cause him any
trouble.
ST wasn't afraid that I would lose
anything in your case" Sheriff Miller
told Smith, but If I allowed every
person losing a car to offer rewards
and sign only my name to the offer
I would be stuck sky high"

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

''Good-by Broadway. Hello France"
a song relic OF the late war. will again
be sung when $50 members of this
American Legion sail August from
New York for tour of the battle-
centers of France To experience the
to France without having to worry
about getting shot, is the dream OF
nearly every member of the former
A. L. F. This desire to return to the
old battle fronts is indicated by the
rapidity with which the quota for the
Lesfon's pilgrimage Is being filled.
John G. Wicker, jr, chairman Of the
pilgrimage arrangements committee
has opened headquarters at 621 West
Forty-third street. New York, and is
daily receiving kilograms and letters
requesting reservations. Representa-
tives for the trip are eeted thru
the various state departments OF the
Legion. Expenses are borne by the
individual members of the party. ex-
cent in cases Of local posts defraying
expenses of representatives selected
by them. II will require about six
weeks to make the trip, including
sailing time. An elaborate program
of events in honor of the Legion pill
grimage has been announced oy the

stances where Legion and Legion Aux
iliary members are busily engaged in
helping their home town in one way
or another, is to be impressed by the
extent to which the efforts OF the
Legion and its auxiliary are bound up
with the welfare of Kansas. notWttn-
standing the fact that three years ago
the organization had not been
thought of and its members were
spread thruout the world, performing

are generally doing more or less Wis
iting together.
Not long ago four California bust
ness men in a motor car struck the
third car of a swiftly moving passen-
ger tain. Hale cited this instance in
defense of the women who generally
get the blame for such accidents.
No Attention to Signals.
Automobile drivers do not always
pay attention to the wig-wag signals
which are used at some crossings. Not
long ago an accident occurred on the
Santa Fe and it was afterwards proven
that the driver disregarded one of
these signals. This does not surprise
Hale, who says he has often gone
down the track a short distance from
a crossing. placed an iron bar across
the rails. putting the signal in oper-
alton, and watched motor car drivers
steer their cars around it or under it.
Too many injured feet among Santa
Fe men, chiefly in the shops and re-
pair departments, has caused Hale to
put on another campaign-one that is
intended to educate these men to wear
good shoes. at least shoes with good
soles on them.

left-with a cobbler," the bulletin
says. Continuing it says:
I'VE are having a surprisingly large
number of injuries to feet of Santa Fe
most cases developed that shoes worn
by men injured needed to be half
soled-or scrapped."
Not often are they seriously con-
sidered as so, but the bulletin calls
attention to the fact that the feet
stand the brunt OF many q hard days
work and deserve more consideration
than is usually given.
According to Hale, many an injury
to a workman is due to the fact that
they fail to keep their shoes half
footed at play, but no man can afford
to do so at work, he says.
IF feet were like tires. If we could
slap on a patch when punctured and
go on our way. it would be different"
Hale continued, but too often a pune
ture means the workman must put his
foot thru the back shop of a hospital
Stepping on a hot piece of iron or a
nail will often put a man off his feet
where good soles on his shoes would
have saved him"
Hale declares that reducing the
number OF accidents and applying
safety first is only a matter of edu-
cation. The word careless" is not in
his vocabulary as he says all persons
care" but frequently they don't
think" Get people to think and 90

To Ask Age of Children.

The passenger department of the
Union Pacific is making a special eff
fort to have ticket agents ascertain
the ages of children and see that
those over five years of age are pro-
vided with half fare tickets instead of
passing the responsibility on to the
conductors. The department, in its
July bulletin, says:
Children of five and under twelve
years of age are entitled to half fare
tickets. Many ticket agents make no
effort to ascertain the age of chill
dren for whom tickets are purchased,
with the result that children who
should, according to the law, pay full
