cal Application

Telephone rates will not be raised

of interest contained therein, and give
TO each its proper news value. The
same sort of instruction should be
adopted in other schools.
Already commercial interests have
sensed the need of greater attention
to current events in the schools, and
have undertaken to publish sheets pur
porting to give a condensed daily re
sumo of important news. But know
ledge of current events gained from
such sources is bound to be influenc-
ed by the economic and political be-
liefs of the compiler and editor; in
fact, one such periodical is redolent
with propaganda in advocacy of Amer
lean membership in the league of ma
tions. Far better is it for a regular
daily newspaper to be the subject of
class study than for the pupils to be
given one of those inspired sheets.
Occasionally teacher will be found
who will pervert his teachings of cur
rent history to suit his own prejudiced
opinion, but the majority will treat
the subject fairly, and certainly the
average OF newspapers and the aver
age of teachings therefrom will rank
higher than anything CLEANED from the
canned "current events" so often serv-
ed up to unsuspecting students.

WASHINGTON NOTES
A Double Opportunity.

Now is the best season for road
building. There is little moisture in
the soil, and the conditions are ideal
for the laying of foundations that will
remain permanent But perhaps of
more consequence is the fact that
many men are out of employment who
would be willing to work if given the
opportunity There is said to be $780,
100000 available in the States for the
construction of roads, and other funds
are constantly being raised through
the issuance of bonds. There could
be no better time than the present to
spend that money for the objects for
which it was provided. 1t would serve
the two-fold purpose of providing men
with work and taking advantage of
the season for carrying road projects
to completion.

Progress Already.

1t may be said that already the arm
aments conference has accomplished
actual results. Japan, as the date of
the meeting approaches, appears stim-
uLated to great exertion to settle some
of the disquieting Pacific and Asiatic
questions before the conference is
called to order on Armistice Day. For
some time Tokyo has been in COM
munication with Washington in an en-
deavor to reach a settlement of the
zap problem and the question of cable
communication involved therein. Jan
anese relations with Siberia have also
formed subject for recent diplomatic
exchanges, and the return of Shan
tung to China promises to be an event
Of the near future as the outcome of
negotiations between Japan and China.
With those three agreements consum-
mated before November 11th, of course
their consideration will be removed
from the conference, but President
Harding can claim credit for hasten
ing their solution and reducing by that
much the probability Of future wars.

HERE'S ODD FREAK OF NATURE
So Far as Known, Twin Tree Is the
Only One of Its Kind in
the World.

One of the most remarkable frenks
of nature. II such II is. ever discovered
is twin tree. an oak ami elm grown
together. which is found IN The ISLAND

Of the Mississippi river and emhraceS
some TWO hundred acres II is covered
with a iuNurlant growth Of oak elm
and various other species of trees. but
the twin tree Is the only one Of us
kind on the island or anywhere else
IN the world As tat as Is known BY
some curious phenomenon, the trunks
"t the trees. which apparently were
growing side by side when saplings,
have merged mo q single hole TO u
height Of seven or eight feet At this
height the individual trunks separate.
each hearing us own peculiar mark
formation and foliage whereas The
Joint trunk seems to he a blend OF
both elm and oak bark II mas been
estimated that m" twin tree IS over
a hundred years old. and il is possible
that the Indians who puce camped on
the island may have had something
to do either by accident or design
with the peculiar formation.

Value of Newspapers.

Recent educational tests have shown
a deplorable lack of knowledge of cur
