HOW TO TREAT YOUR TOWN

The Ottumwa Commercial Club
Bulletin makes the following practi-
cal suggestions as to how citizen
should treat his home town. They
are well worth considering and are
passed on for the benefit of our
readers:
"Praise it.
Improve it.
"TaIk about it.
"Be public spirited.
Remember it is your home.
"Tell about its business men.
'sTake a real home pride in it.
"Tell of its natural advantages.
"Help public officers do the most
good.
"When strangers come to town, use
them well.
Support local institutions that
benefit your town.
"Don't call your best citizens
| frauds ahd lmposltors.
"Look ahead of self when all the
town is to be considered.
Advertise in the local paper, not
to help the editor but to help your
s---Ie...s - 4 ssv@.~ $40 ---'
There is nothing particularly new
in these suggestions, but they are
common-senical and worthy of con-
sideration on the part of every citi-
zen of DEBORAH, or any other town
for that matter. Make those sugges-
tons your motto for the next month
or so and see if you cannot note some
improvement in your home town
and possibly in yourself.

New Duties of KrauSs
Are Work in Which He
Is Deeply Interested

Friends of F. G. Krauss on Maui
will be interested to know the line of
work which he is taking up at the
University of Hawaii and to learn
that it is a branch of work in which
he is intensely interested. Such in
formation is contained in the follow
ing article which was published i'll
The Advertiser of last Saturday
Frederick G. Krauss, we'll known
agricultural investigator, teacher and
writer, Joined the staff of the Uniyer-
sity of Hawaii, August l as professor
of genetics. He is now preparing a
course of lectures and outlining a Sc
ries of Investigations and experiments
to be conducted at the University
farm.
Professor Krauss said that the
subject of genetics, or the theory CT
plant and animal breeding. is one Of
the required studies at the Univer-
sity. For several years the course has
not been given. The Junior and senior
classes did not receive this instruction
last year.
ALREADY there are 90 or more up
per classmen enrolled for this work in
the coming school year. Besides the
theory of genetics. there will be labor
atory and field work in the pratical
application of genetics to agriculture.
"Krauss has brought with him from
the Haiku experimental farm, a flock
of chickens of his own breeding. He
expects to work with poultry and
swine, in animal genetics, and with
culinary beans and corn, on the plant
side-all of these being especially
adapted to research work because of
rapidity of propagation.
THE regents have set apart six
acres for Professor krauss' use. A
new laboratory will also be built and
every facility provided for the sue
cess of this new line of investigation
and research"

Public Welfare

Elsewhere on this page is
printed q letter from the Direct
or Of Public Welfare at Chapel
Hill to Mr.. R. D. jenkins, Coun-
ty Superintendent of Public We'll
fare for Halifax County. In
view Of the fact that the office
of the County Superintendent of
Public Welfare has been under
fire in this county, it is interest
ing to note the favorable i'm
preston Mr.. Jenkins work is
making in high circles.
Probably no phase of county
governmental activity is less
familiar to the average citizen
than the work of the Health Off,
Ger and the Superintendent of
Public Welfare, due to the fact
that here government is break
ing new ground. Enlightened
public opinion forced the legisla-
ture of North Carolina last year
to recognize the legal duty of
organized society not only to re-
strain but to sustain and care for
moral and mental detectives and
to enforce the right of every
North Carolina child to at least
q grammar school education.
The School attendance alone
In North Carolina was increased
through the Public Welfare work
by more than one hundred thous-
and and the average daily at
tendance was increased by
eighty seven thousand. This
alone is worth in the added eff
fectiveness of our educational
plant more than the Public Wei
fare work has cost Us. The
benefits Of education to those
children who would otherwise
not have received It are meal.

progress can not be expressed In

Much more has been done.

detectives, in restoring to

better ideals Of life and conduct
and citizenship is again worth
every cent it has cost US.
We believe that the Public
Welfare work has come to stay;
that as soon as what is being
accomplished is more widely
known and its purpose more
generally understood, it will be
so widened and strengthen as to
cover fully the duty of society to
its children and it's unfortunates.

ing of the state for the state

a violation of every principle OF
democratic government as was

that the time has arrived when
it is safe in North Carolina to
drop the last pretence OF regard
for justice and honesty in state

and shamelessly to the perpetra-

likely to benefit their party.

No National Art i'm
America, New York
Girl Tells Europe
Delegates From "a Nations
Hear Cecilia Beaux, in
Paris, ID eclare France
Must Give Inspiration

PARIS, Sept. 26 (By The Associated
Fress) s).-America has no national art,
and must continue for many wears to
come to France for inspiration, Cecilia
beauX, New York artist, told the del
egates to the International Art Com
gress, which opened here to-day. Miss
Beaux, who is q delegate, explained
that the United States was too Young
to have it's own school of art, although,
she declared, the art conscience of the
ration had awakened to a greater ex-
tent than that of any other country in
the world
American artists owe great deal
to France and always feel that they
have in her an almost infallible source
Of art knowledge" said Miss Beaux.
America is constantly striving for it's
own national art, and in time it will
come. but for many years we shall have
to find our chief inspiration in Holland
and Italy, and especially in France"
The assertions of Miss Beaux were
the subject of much comment among
the delegates from twenty four coun-
tries attending the congress, and in the
course Of informal discussions after
the first session some of the delegates
said speciments Of American art they
had seen indicated a national school
2lready had been established in its pre-
l;minary stages.
The United States is also represented
by Miss Edith Abbott, of the Metropolis
tan Museum in New York, and John
Cotton Dana, of Newark, N. J., is ex-
pected to arrive. Robert de Forest, Of
New York, chairman of the American
section, was not present at the first
session.
The delegates were unanimous in
agreeing that art should be given the
opportunity to promote international
amity and prevent future wars, since
diplomacy was badly in need of outside
belp. This could best be done, they
said, by the widest dissemination of art
knowledge, which would have a pacify-
ing effect on the world. All the dele
gates said in their speeches that Paris
remains the undisputed art capital of
the world, despite the war and the eff
forts of other cities to assume that
title.
The congress will remain in session
until October 5. One of its chief pur-
poses is to reassert the pre-eminence of
the old established principles Of art, as
opposed to new movements
