Basket Dinner.

For many years it has been the
custom for the patrons OF the school
district TO come together at the
school house on the last day OF
school for big dinner
This seems to be an excellent
method of interesting peope in the
school work and also brings then,
closer together with one another and
the teacher. Parents must work with
the teacher before she can make a
success in her work.
Last Tuesday, April 26, Miss Jessit
Hart closed very successful term CT
school at Wilcox. At noon the peo-
pie gathered at the school house with
we'll filled baskets to celebrate Tie
occasion. Almost every family in the
district was represented and all sn-
joyed themselves splendidly. Ide
teacher and pupils had prepared .
short, but interesting program tor en-
tcrtainment
Those receiving prizes in the spell
ing contest were George Everhart and
frankie Berry. Mr.. Ed Wilcox gave
an excellent talk ON regular attend
ance in school. It was especially in-
teresting to the pupils since there was
one boy, franklin Donnieyer, 8 years
old, who had come every day and hal
l1not been late. Then Mr.. Everhart
sang .. song which was enjoyed by
everyone present because it encour-
aged that lively, friendly spirit Of the
crowd. Mr.. West then recited Z
reading that he used to speak st
school when . school boy. Il was
fine, too. We like TO see patrons
take 80 great-an interest IN the school,
One Present.

50 BRITISH COAL MINES s
ALREADY DESTROYED
BY BEING FLOODED
Only 13 of Kingdoms 500 Steel
Furnaces Operating. n


London, April so.-.Fifty coal
mines already have been destroyed
by flooding it was officially an
rounced here Saturday. This indi-
Gates the extent to which the entire
structure OF British industry Is col
lapsing under pressure of the miners
strike.
Further evidence of the growing
industrial paralysis was shown IN
these conditions: 1ss
Only 13 steel furnaces are. operat-
ing out of total of 500.
Train schedules have been reduced
so per cent .3..s9s
All express trains have been dis
continued.
A curfew law is being planned for
all lighting. Daylight saving is to tc
extended another hour.
The country is expected soon to be
dependent upon foreign coal. A carr
go of German coal, shipped by way
of Holland, was unloaded at Ipswich,
under police protection.
Misery and hunger are growing as
the business depression increases.
The capacity of charitable institu-
tions is being taxed by the plight at
the families of many workers thrown
out of employment as direct result
OF the strike.
After the miners final rejection of
the governments offer of $5o,ooo,-
900 subsidy officialdom became exr
tremely pessimistic of the possibility
Of All early settlement. The only ray
of hope was in the belief that a ma
jority of the miners executives SCI
cretly favor acceptance of the subsidy
despite the district delegates rejec-
ton.
Representatives of both the owners
and miners have left for the coal dis
tricts over the weekend and it. was
believed the union officials would
seek first hand sentiment regarding
the subsidy.

The Jasper news. [volume] (Jasper, Missouri) 1898-1924, 1921-02-17

letters by Washington which speak
plainly Of two other love affairs. One,
written in 1749, to "Dear Friend
Robin" speaks Of his passion for
your Lowland Beauty" Both friend
and sweetheart are unknown.
Another letter, written In 1852 to
william Fauntleroy Of Virginia says:
"Slr:-I should have been down long
before this, but my business in Fred
erick detained me somewhat longer
than l expected, and Immediately upon
my return from thence l was takeD
with a violent pleurise which has re-
duced me very low; but purpose, as
soon as recover my strength, to walt
on Miss Betsy, in hopes Of revoca-
ton of the former cruel sentence, and
see If cannot win any alteration In
my favor. l have enclosed a letter
to her."
George Washington was the John
d. Rockefeller Of his day-so far as
wealth goes. John d. once said he
would rather lose a thousand dollars
than be cheated out Of nickel. Wen,
George evidently felt the same way;
at least his letters so indicate. Yet
he accepted no pay as a soldier, and
| spent $4,000 Cat leasD of his own
money. He was generous as he was
keen to get what was his. He de-
liphted In a good bargain. AS for efti-
cheney, 1t was his middle name. There
never was a better farmer and busi-
ness man, and Mount Vernon was a
model plantation.
George Washington proved himself
q regular fellow in these ways, among
others:
He played cards, and ordered a
dozen packs at time one Of his ac-
counts contains the item: Lost at
cards, shllllngs."
He drank wine, beer, rum and
brandy-alWays In moderation.
He loved horses, and imported fine
stock.
He was fond of fox hunting; his
mack of fox hounds was famous; he
wore the latest and best In hunting
clothes.
He loved to fish, to shoot ducks and
TO hunt deer.
He wore good clothes, and insisted
upon having them to his liking In
every detail.
In short, the real George Washing
ton was not the mythical Washington
who has been foisted on the American
school boy Of past generations. The
