building up to the standard of the
most advanced school practice.
One of the decisive factors which
has helped to keep the Campbellstown
schools in the lead is the Parent
Tea cheers association, which takes an
active part in deciding questions of
school policy. Residents of the town,
as wen as members of the association
who live in the country nearby are
enthusiastically "for" the organiza-
ton. E. e. Mcclellan, superintend-
ent of the school, heads the associa-
ton. Mrs. Grant Larsh is secretary.

Town and country are equally rep
resented at the meetings of the or

the meaning of the term progress"
since the original five sections of land

Campbell History.
The Campbell family, are a story in
themselves. William Campbell, found
err of the town proper was a son Of
John, who came late in life to the site
! of the town. William, with four broth
ers each took a section of land, then
dense forest and cleared it for a
home. ..-..
Some evidence of what conditions
! we're like in this section of the coun-
try at that time may be obtained from
the statement of one of them that the
forest about the old Campbell home
was SO dense that COW, tied out on a
3O-yard rope could only be found by
following the rope through the thicket.
Sam Swisher, who married a daugh-
ter of William Campbell, lives today
! in a house built on one corner of the
original tract cleared by the family.

There are no other inhabitants in its

There is a cemetery, with crude

Johnson's Island hasn't always pre-
scented such a picture. Sixty years
ago this spring. 1t hustled with hui

crowded with civilians, and soldiers

busy. 1t was real boom town.
The forsaken little island was owned
first by e. w. Bull, and 1t was called
Bulls Island until 1852, when it was
purchased by L. B. Johnson, and the
name changed to Johnson's Island. In
1911. efforts were made to found a
town on the island, and steps were
: taken to lay out village lots. The Gus
tom house Of port was located there,
but the attempt was unsuccessful, and
the project failed.
The government leased the island in
1852 as depot for confederate prison
ers. The first prisoners were installed

company of federal soldiers, which
subsequently was increased to a full

At some times there were as many
as 5000 prisoners on the island but
the number varied from time to time
From the period of establishment, un-
til the end of the war. $4,000 or more
prisoners we're established in the bar

the prisoners were officers.

Both sides of the road that led from
the dock were lined with small build

houses and the like. Behind the camp
on the highest point of the island was
Fort Hill, an earthwork, mounted with
several guns, which commanded the
harbor and the lake entrance.
The treatment of prisoners on the
island was considerate, even to the
point of indulgence. Their wants were
said to be better filled than most oil

friends plentifully supplied them with
money. In summer they were per

New state senatorial districts were
laid out last week by Gov. Arthur NJ.
Hyde, Secretary of State Charles U,
Becker and Attorney General Jesse
w. Barrett to take the place of the
present districts. The new districts
will stand, it was stated, upon the
vote cast for State Superintendent in
1918, twenty Republican and fourteen
Democratic districts. The distributing
was performed by Hyde, Becker and
Barrett under a constitutional pro-
vision, which provides that when the
Legislature fails to act the state
officials shall make q distributing. The
plan to leave the redistricting to the
state officers was agreed upon among
the Republican leaders to obviate the
suspension of the distributing by refer
endum. 1t was the opinion OF the
Attorney General that a districting
by the state officers is not subject to
the referendum. Ours is the twenty
second district and is composed of
the following Counties: Carter, Craw-
ford, Dent, Iron, Oregon, Reynolds,
Ripley, Shannon and Washington.

My feelings are expressed in an
article written for the Globe Demo-
crat and published in its last Sundays
issue. Unfortunately for the reader,
I am limited by lack of space from
reproducing more than one or two
short extracts:
The antisaloon people thought that
with the eighteenth amendment swept
into u beloved constitution the
American people would take their
medicine, stupidity submit, keep their
mouths shut lin every Way, obey the
drastic law, no matter how offensive,
and let a bunch OF dry-as-dust ia
natics with vinegar mouths and chalk
like cheeks rule them. They honest
ly imagined we were like that-a ma
ton of asinine puppets; and they
counted upon many of US (of whom
/ was one, | am ashamed to say, not
30 long ago. submitting because it
was too much trouble to protest. y
A friend of mine who never
overindulges, and never will-iust to
spite Mr.. Volstead and Mr.. Andersoni
told me that on a recent visit to
Cuba he had never felt happier, for
while in that sunny and civilized land
he could walk fearlessly into a cafe
and order a drink without feeling like
q criminal and as though the man at
the next table might be a federal
officer. It Is abominable and intoler-
able that every u of us has come to
distrust his neighbor and to lie a little
ashamed Of his Americanism. A sys-
tenn of espionage is to be the next
step in the damnable propaganda Of
the a%ntisaloon people, but to offset
that n reads that, owing to the
kindly paternalism Of Mr.. So-and-So,
beer may be served over soda foun.

ever come to that?
