THE REDIsTRIcTING SCHEME.

THE REDISTRICTING SCHEME.
Some time ago Senator Roland F.
Chase. Of Clintwood. stated that he
would attempt to have the Ninth
District re-districted, and published
his contemplated schedule.
Mr.. Chase's object, it appears. is
only to equalize the representation
in the district, giving, according to
his plan, about two additional rep
rescntativcs in the General Assent
y Mr. Chase is a Republican.
E.cently. the Democrats have
taken up the same matter and pro-
posed a redistricting quite different
from the plan of Mr. Chase. No def
mite action was taken by the Demo
Gratis.
Some one asks what the Clnch
Valley News thinks.
So far as we can see there is no
necessity for change The General
Assembly is already too large. There
are numbers Of men in that body
who vote and draw their pay. am
that IS about all. Instead Of increaS-
te the number i, would be NOR.

ARMAMENT LIMITATION
The Great Washington Con-
ference On Limitation of
Armaments Now On.

The eyes of the world are now
focused on our own national cap
ital, Washington, ID. c. for here
are gathered representatives of
the greatest nations in the world,
called there by our President to
seriously consider the advisable
ity of limiting the manufacture
of ornaments for destructive
warfare.
Representing our own nation
are Secretary of Safe Hughes,
Senators Lodge and Underwood
and Elihn Root. From England
are Lord Lee, A. j. BalfOur and
others. Premier BRAND and Rene
Viviani will represent France and
men of special equal standing in
theirown nations are or will be
on hand to handle this moment
Gus question.
President Harding delivered the
keynote and welcome address and
Secretary Hughes was elected
chairman of the conference.
The chairman's address, was very
notable in that it gave the pro-
position of the United States in
regard to the limitations on naval
armament and building. The
plan of Secretary Hughes is
for the scrapping by the three
leading naval powers, United
States, England and Japan, of
sixty-six big ships of war. Show
ing the proper measure of faith
in the proposal, the United States
is ready to destroy nearly half
of the number named from its
own navy. This is a tremendous
sacrifice of material and value
but also a tremendous saving in
power, men and up-keep.
A further part of the proposal
is that all building of replace
ment tonnage" shall stop until
ten years from date of agreement.
As the English statesman Lord
Balfour is ready to support the
proposal as representing England
the plan is practically assured.
Japan may seek to modify the
proposal but the fact that her
two superiors are granting more
than she, places her in a position
to accept if she is sincere in re-
spect to limitation of ornaments.

Spent Honeymoon Here.

One of the notable women of
the land has just passed to land
beyond" She is Mrs. George
Gould. Death came very sudden
ly while playing golf with her
husband at their estate in Lake
wood, N. ]. Mrs. Gould leaves
"twenty-one living monument"
to commemorate her,-seven child
rem and fourteen grandchildren.
Mrs. Gould was Miss Ethel
Kingdom, a great actress before
her marriage to Mr.. George Gould.
She became a wonderful mother
allowing no social duty or class
privilege to interfere with her
work among her children and
household.
Early settlers among Eagle Riv-
er folks will remember the stir
created by the visit of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould to the town to spend
their honeymoon in the year
1886. At that time a short
spur of track ran west
ward in front of the fish hatch
cry. The private car of the Goulds
was switched on that spur and
remained there until the honey
moon was over.

Polar Bear" Party.

Mrs. Jackson Bennett and the
Gudegast girls entertained the
Polar Bears at a party given at
the home of the former last Sat
urday evening. Games and stunts
carrying out the Polar Bear idea
were the order of the evening.
This Is one of a series of par
ties which were started last sum-
mer by swimmere at Yellow Blrcn
lake and the Polar Bears derived
their name from the fact that
the members continued swim
ming long after others had de-
cided IL was two cold.

Villas NEEDS NURSE
County Nurse for Villas
An Absolute Necessity.

The County of Villas, so far, is
minus a county nurse. During
the summer a committee from the
Teachers and Parents Association
of the Eagle River schools pre-
sented the question to the coun-
ty board. Of course, the board
listened attentively and was very
considerable to the committee, two
thirds of which were ladies but
the board found it very easy to
switch the affair because no APP
preparation was made to meet the
expense at the proper board meet
ing. Anyway, they said, there is
no money to appropriate.
1t comes to light, however, on
the best of authority that the
board finds money for purposes
which it desires whether appro-
priated for those purposes or not.
We do not criticize because
money was found to meet certain
contingencies but because a mat
ter of so great Importance to the
health of the growing children
of the county can so easily be set
aside. 1t reminds us of what
county official said in another
matter, I'VE do not have to"
May we suggest that the board,
in making appropriations at its
coming meeting at the beginning
of December consider seriously
and carefully ways and means of
providing a nurse for thecounty.

Good English Week at Schools.

If visitor casually dropped in
at the schools last week he would
find sufficient evidence of an en-
deavor to promote the pure Eng
lish language as against corrupt,
slang and profane. One room we
saw was lined with pictures and
cartoons emphasizing the need of
good English. One cartoon with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jiggs of funny PIC
ture fame as main characters
but purified speech is a proof
of exceptional wit and talent for
cartooning.

At the special election last
Thursday the village went on re-

but they were without exception
for issuing bonds to cover the
expense of our auxiliary plant to

The fact that every vote was

REFRIGERATING PLANT
Economy and Efficiency De-
veloped Ice Machine In
stalled BY Local Firm.

The August We'll and Son gro
Gerry and meat firm is very proud
of its new refrigerating plant in
stalled recently at a cost of about
$1,000.
The machinery, motor etc. is
located in the basement of the
store and the system includes a
large tank and pipes in the re-
frigeratOr room. Sufficient re-
frigeration may be produced in
four hours in the hottest days
of summer to keep the proper
temperature for twenty-four hours
and a five-hour run on Saturday
proves sufficient for over Sum
day. In other words the new
machine gives refrigeration equal
to three and two-tenths tons of
melting ice. If necessary the
machine could keep the refriger-
ator at an even low temperature
end make one and one-half tons
of ice every twenty-four hours.
The plant is installed with a
view of being able in the future
to cater To a much larger bust
ness as the need occurs and also
10 provide Sower for a system for
home curir Z of meats.
The machine is a product of the
Frick Ice Machine Company of
Waynesboro, Penn. and was in
stalled by the Midwest Engineer
ing and Equipment Company,
of Chicago.
