As you possibly know school
opens Monday. Aug. -. Let Ill
who are going this year start
from the beginning.
The board Of education Ii 10
be congratulated apon being
able to secure practically the
same teaching force that %
faithfully and conGcientiously
served the children and the COM
munity last year.
The transportation vans will
travel on the same routes with
a few changes in starting places.
Route No. ! will start about
one-half mile farther south: No.
II begins at John Jac0bsen's
driveway; No. 4 begins one mile
north Of Mr.. Martins corner 1t
northeast corner Of Section l6)
and turns east to Mr.. Martins
driveway and No. 5 begins st
Jens B. Jensen's driveway. No
changes have been made in the
Others.
The vans will reach the school
house at 8:55, q little later than
last year. hence the time for
starting in the morning will b
about ten minutes later. The
drivers are asked to keep q mile
in about twelve minutes with
dry roads. In about ten days OF
two weeks we plan to send q
trme-schedule into every home
from which children are trans
ported. May we ask that you
unite with the driver and the
superintendent in making the
transportation more satisfactory
than ever before.
The school belongs to the pub
lie: it extends its advantages to
| all. 1t seems unnecessary to
urge that you come in often to
watch the progress or lack of
progress in the classes. II seems
that it should also be unneces-
sary to urge that all children at
tend regularly. only in that way
can the child get the most pos
sible. Excuses should be asked
for only when absolutely ncces-
sary. The matter Of asking for
excuses and the granting OF
them has been misused; let it
not be SO in Askov.
In conclusion permit me to re-
quest you, and urge you. to join
hands with the board, the teach
ers and the superintendent that
this may be the best year ever.
Tell me Of your dissatisfaction
IF any--with the school. Re-
port to me irregularities on the
part Of the driver and do not
vent your wrath upon him, he is
supposedly following his con-
tract. Come in and discuss the
poor work done in the classroom
possibly you have but one side
Of the question. You are as
sured an attentive ear in all ca
ses. But then fail not to ex-
press appreciation Of the best
efforts of your driver and Of the
good work the teacher has done
for your child. Such expires.
sions shall gladly be passed on
70 the parties concerned.
Let us make the school 1 big
ger and better factor in our com
munity.
Yours sincerely,
Y Fq~~~.. lf.> 49,.

LABOR WILL FIGHT
WAGE REDUCTIONS
NATION FACES RAILWAY STRIKE
AS RESULT OF PROPOSED
GUT IN WAGES.
Announced Purpose OF Big Eastern
Lines to Slash Schedules Causes
Unrest Among Workers Which
May Result in Strikes.

ngton.-Railroad strikes which
may assume nationwide proportions
are likely II the announced plans of
the PENNSYLVANIA, New York Central
and other lines to make wholesale
wage reductions are carried into eff
feet, leaders Of railroad labor organi-
cations declared here Thursday.
Officials of the American Federation
of Labor, however, viewed the situa-
ton with somewhat less alaFm. Any
threat TO force wage reductions with
out consent of the railway labor board,
Il was said at the federation head
quarters, Is nothing more than a bluff.
Officials of organized labor agree
that the contemplated wage cut, If put
into effect, would be nothing short of
defiance of law. A vice president of
one of the big railroad brotherhoods
said
The Pennsylvania railroad is play
ing with a dangerous situation They
know that under the transportation act
they have no legal right to make wage
reductions unless they obtain the CON
sent to the railway labor board"
From official labor sources 1t was
learned that Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, Intends TO seek an early con-
ference with President Harding on
measures to halt the wage reduction
movement and avert the series of
strikes which Mr.. Gompers believes
will be the net result.
The New York Central railway on
March 10 announced that, beginning
April 16, 1t would revise downward
wages of approximately $4,000 EN-
ployees.
Cuts in wages affecting 27500 EN-
ployees, from the president down, were
announced Wednesday by the Penn
sylvania.
Operating on five-day week basis,
from president down, is the plan of
the Erie, UnskilIed labor reduced in
wages from AS to 80 cents an hour in
some localities; lesser reductions in
others. Mechanical forces cut 40 per
cent in number; $4,000 employees af-
fected.

Former Emperor of Germany Seeks to
Place Blame on Others.
Amsterdam.-Fo Emperor VIII
liam of Germany has written for pri-
vate distribution book by which he
attempts to show that England was
responsible for the world war. In the
volume he had collated historical facts
and data relative to International
agreements between all countries in
volved in the war from 1884 to 1914,
and these facts have been marshaled
in parallel columns by Count Hohen-
zollern, says the newspaper Het Volk.
He declares England's responsibility
for the war conferred in her "plot to
isolate Germany and refers to 'the
mobilization of English banks in April,
1914, preparations for war by the
British fleet in June, the same year,
and the Russian mobilization of forces
on July 49,
Thus says the newspaper, 'the
former emperor tries to find adher-
ents for the theory that allied mobi-
lization made it impossible for Ger
many to prevent the war"

GERMAN ENJOYS
ORDERED HOME
ACTION OF GOVERNMENT CON-
siDERED AS DEMoNsTRA-
TloN OF PROTEST.
The Conservative Extremists Actually
Consider that Germany Is at
War.--Discussion Concerning
Rebuilding of Cabinet.

Berlin,-With the recall of the Ger
man ambassadors to France and Eng
land and the minister to Belgium,
Germany interrupts diplomatic rela-
tons with the entente again and one
element-the conservative extremists
actually considers that the nation is
In state of war. Generally the gov
ernment's action Is considered as a
demonstration of protest.
DR.. Walter Simons, the German for
eign minister, Is not expected to re-
sign on his return from London. It
was expected that he would resign
when his contemporaries failed. but
now the people of all parties are solid
ly united in supporting the govern
ment, following the entente's occupa-
tion of the Ruhr coal ports.
! However, there Is considerable dis
cussion concerning the rebuilding of
the cabinet. One proposal is for a
small supercabinet similar to Great
Britain's wartime cabinet, with
George Helm, the president of the
baVarlan peasant party and called the
uncrowned king of Bavaria, as pre-
mier. Such change would please
the nationalists who want to see the
present coalition, which is bourgoisie
in its sympathies, grow more conser-
yative.
Until Wednesday evening Berlin did
not experience the slightest excite
ment. In the morning patrol was
stationed in front of the French en-
bassy and guards were increased in
the vicinity of the Brandenburg gate.
The German is working off his pas
sions against the entente by talk. How
ever, the stock market has been
greatly affected. Business men con-
slider that the entente's invasion will
result in nothing, and they believe
the occupation will end with the re-
sumption of peaceful negotiations
within a week. \
