An Opinion Of q Junior

"Politeness is to do and say, the
kindest thing in the kindest way" But
this is forgotten by so many Of us. We
should remember we are a student
body on equal basis. We forget that |
one of hte most unkindly acts is that
of throwing slam or criticism on
some fellow students. Although it is
done lightly and thoughtlessly, it isl
always returned to the one whom it
was not intended for. We all have
faults and may overcome them more
fully by the cooperation of every one;
not by an unfeeling act Of any one.
Therefore, remembering these things,
let us try to be more careful OF our
words and more willing to show kind
ness toward everyone.

of its trade school, as not another town this size has such an institution. He alluded to the generosity of the state in providing such a course, he praised the supervisor and instructors, and said that much was due MT. Trin- der for the location of the school in this city.
 MT. Johnson called attention to domestic science summer school This is new venture and will consist of seven weeks course during the sum mer months. There will be seven hours instruction day and the course is absolutely free.
 Mr Trinder spoke in an interesting manner of the valuable work trade schools are doing in the country at large, and told how this state is a pi- oneer in this branch of education and now stands third in the country in im- portance in this branch of learning.
 He brought forcefully to mind the value of learning a trade, comparing present opportunity with the past, when boys and girls left school early in life, some from the seventh and eighth grades, unfitted for any line of work and drifting from one job to an- other. Now the boy has a chance to develop his bent" and pursue a course along lines that are attractive and fit him for usefulness upon re- eeivng his certificate.
 He emphasized the fact that the Trade schools object was to make education work" He said that in the early days when the first schools were established under state supervision, people thought of them as some sort of reformatory institutions. This has passed away and the combined aca- demic and trade school courses have brought about an entire change in the aspect of the trade schools before the l parents and children.
 He spoke of the organization of the first school Tn Putnam in the old Ar mory building. Of the interest of the people and the determination to have school building. Of the erection of the present fine building in 1915 and the continued progress of the work.
 MT. Johnson having alluded to Mir Flinders bulldog tenacity" as evil dencing English blood, the speaker said that Mir. Johnson was quite right, that he. the speaker, was born in Eng Hand in 1866. He came to this coun- trv as a lad and the family removed to Kansas His playmates were lndl- ans and he learned the Cherokee and Choctaw language. His father re- ceived the appointment of land in spector from General Grant, and he. as boy, often covered the territory with his father on horseback, sleeping in the open. The father carried a leather-bound volume of lvanhoe and volumes of Shakespeare which he read aloud. This gave him visions and these visions he had followed, and some of them had taken conereate form.
 In closing Mir Trinder thanked the people. the superintendent of schools, the supervisor. Mir. Ellis, and the in- structors for their cooperation and said that what he had seen on this visit had been most pleasing to him.

 The fire was discovered by one of l Mr. Chabot's hired men who was pass ing on a motor bus He ran to where Mr. Charpt sat reading his paper af- ter covering his milk route, and told 1 him that the barn was on fire. An alarm was sounded and help was soon on the scene, but so rapidly did the fire spread that there was only time to get out part of the stock
 The wind carried burning embers quite some distance The Chabot house caught and was soon destroyed. The firemen worked to prevent other fires and in this were successful. They also saved much of the personal property in the Chabot home.
 Two theories have been advanced as to the cause of the fire, one the oil stove used to heat water to wash milk bottles. It was learned that this had not been lighted. Several chil- dren were seen coming from the barn before the fire was discovered, and is is now believed that they were in some way responsible.
 Mr Chabot is a hard working man and had built up fine herd of blood ed stock. He was greatly depressed at his great loss and the farmers of eastern Windham county have ex- tended their sympathy and offers to help in any way possible.

Day was dawnng in Buenayentura
republic of Sobrante, as invariably IT
dawnS in the trOpcs-withOut extend
ed preliminary symptoms, The soft
silvery light of a full moon that had
stayed out ScandalOusly late had
merged imperceptibly into gray; the
gray was swiftly yielding place 20
faint crimson that was spreading and
deepening upward athwart the east
In the patio of Mother jerks estab-
lishment in the Gale de COncordla'
No. 10, the first shafts of morning
light were filtering Obliquey through
the orange trees and creeping in un-
der the deep, GOthic-arched veranda
thanking the western side of the pa
ito. Presently, through the silent
reaches of the Gale de COncordia, the
sound of a prOdigiOus knocking and
humping echoed, as Of some fretful
individual seeking admission at the
street door of Ell Buen Amigo, by
which euphOnOus designation Mother
jerks caravanSary was known to the
public of Buenaventura. In the sec
Ond story, front, window slid back
and a wOman's voice, husky with that
huskiness that speaks so accuSingly
of cigarettes and alcohol, demanded:
"Quen es? Who is it? Que quiere
listed? Wot do yer want?'
Eye might dispinse wit that para
queet conversation whin addhressin'

me-Cafferty. I have a cablegram
Leber give me to deliver"
"Gawd's truth! Would yer wake
the ole 'ouse with yer 'ammering?'
"All right. I'll not say another
word"
Without the portal stood Don Juan
CafeterO. of whom a word or two be-
fore proceeding.
To begin Don Juan CafeterO was
not his real name, but rather a free
Spanish translation of the Gaelic
John Cafferty. Mr.. Cafferty was an
exile of Erin with a horrible thirst.
He had first arrived in SObrante some
five years before, as section boss in
the employ of the little fOreign-Owned
narrOw-gauge railway which ran from
Buenaventura on the Caribbean coast
to San Miguel de Padua, up-cOuntry
where the nitrate beds were located.
Prior to his advent the railroad peo-
pie had tried many breeds of section
boss without visible results. until a
Chicago man. who had come to So
brante to install an inter-cOmmunicat-
ing telephone system in the govern
ment buildings, suggested to the SUI
perintendent of the road, who was a
German, that the men made for bosses
come from Erin's isle; wherefore Mr..
Cafferty had been imported at price
Of 50 a day gold. Result-a marked
improvement in the road bed and con
sequently the train schedules, and the
ultimate loss of the Cafferty soul.
Something in the climate Of Sobran
te must have appealed to touch Of
laissez faire in Don Juan's amiable
nature, for in the course of time ne
had taken unto himself, without bel
or book. after the fashion Of the pro
letariat Of SObrante, the daughter OF
one Esteban Manuel Enrique Jose Ma

BILE peon who was singularly glad t
have his daughter off his hands and M
questions asked. Following the fash
ion Of the country, however, EstebaI
had forthwith moved the remainder O
his numerous progeny under the man
tie Of Don Juan Cafetero's philan
thropy, and resigned a position which

The girl read and reread this tele-

slow little smile commenced to creep
around the corners Of her adorable
mouth
"I believe that amazing old gentle

arrived and calling for telegraph

read:

She Struggled back among the pill

consideration troubled her. How

obstacle?
"Oh, dear" she murmured II do

She need not have worried. Hours
before, the object of her thought had
settled all that to his own complete
satisfaction. and as a consequence was
sleeping peacefully and gaining
strength for whatever of fortune, good

 ISLAND COOLIES

Sydney N. s. w. Oct. so-Fears that Bolshevism may take a hold upon the 6o,oOO East indian coolies in the Fiji Islands. who have been inn ported over a period of years to work the sugar plantations, have been ex- pressed by the Fiji Planters Associa- ton according to advices reaching here today
 The Indians have just carried out SiX-m months' strike which paraIyzed the sugar industry and caused heavy losses to the planters. They had presented demands that tho planters characterized as "extravagant,p and refused to grant. These demands. the planters declared, were the result of the efforts of agitators wha are preaching that the Indian should not "salaam" a white person, and similar pronouncement of race equality
 Under pressure from imperial au= thorities, suffrage has been granted the Indians, and the Fiji islands viii become more of an Asiatic colony than European.
 The Fiji Planters Association has expressed itself as faYering the iH= troduction of Chinese eeofies instea q of further Indian immigrants
