MELONS PATRIOTIC AID

During the war aluminium was in
great demand by the government. Mr..
Mellon, the new secretary of the
treasury, who was a power in the
aluminium field, saw to it that the
government obtained all that materi-
al needed and at whatever prices the
federal agencies chose to pay. In adj
dition Mr.. Mellon threw open his
Mellon industrial institute of research
of ,Pittsburg, for government use
without any payment.

Of his birthday. At the noon hour

Willie Bernard Peery was born
Jan. 20, 1892; he was married
to Helen Woodrough, Oct. rs, 1911.
To this union was born one title girl,
Mable, who was the joy and pride of
his lfe. In early life he professed
faith in Christ and united with the
Missionary Baptist church at West
Union. Later in life he united with
the Christian church by baptism
by Rev. Fred Chunn, on Sept. 6,
1915. He was always true to his
profession of faith and lived a de-
voted member of the church. He
was a good husband, father and was
very much devoted to his parents,
brothers and sisters. He was
good neighbor and friend to all who
knew him and to know him was to
love him. He departed this life Dec.
10, 1921, being 20 years, 10 months
and IL days old at death. He leaves
a loving wife, one little girl, father,
step mother, two brothers, one sis
ter and one half sister and host of
relatives and friends to mourn his
death. He was an intense sufferer
all through his illness. Just before
his departure he prayed to the Lord
to take him up higher, and his last
words were, righteous Father, I've
come to see you this morning and to
stay with you forever in the name of
Jesus Christ our Lord" We know
our loss is heavens gain. He re-
mains were tenderly laid to rest at
West Union Sunday afternoon, after
funeral services by Bro. Fred Chunn.
A large crowd was present to pay the
last tribute of respect. He is await

Three PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
Of the United States have joined, for
the first time in the history Of the
country, in an appeal for a philan-
thropic enterprise. President Hard ng,
ex-President Wilson and ex-Pnsident
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pres dent Harding's first Off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic in the
East. President Hard .ng said in part !:
AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment in my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf Of the starving people of large
section Of China.
1.-THE picture of China's distress is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In Apo nting the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said in his procla-
nation:
mot only in the name Of humanity,
but in that Of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,
I venture to ask that our citizens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today light one. respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"

student has had sufficient practice in
the writing of solid matter to enable
him to write rhythmically and accur-
ately, he begins his practice on let
ters The models followed are the
various types used by standard bust
ness houses at the present time. It is
our aim that by the end of the year
every student shall have a net speed
of IS words a minute in copying solid
matter. Many will undoubtedly at
tain higher rate. Another year the
second year of shorthand and type
writing will be introduced. In this
course a great deal of dictation should
be given; all notes should be read
back and a great many of them should
be Transcribed. Here the emphasis
will rest on the accuracy and appear
ance of the finished product In the
work in typewriting, frequent exer-
cises and drills should be given for
increasing the speed. Besides this,
the student should be taught how to
cut stencils and the use of the mimeo-
graph. The second half of the year
should be more of an Office training
course. The student should learn how
to fill out various papers,, address en-
velopes, do matching in," as we'll
as become acquainted with the add
ing machine and dictaphone, where
this is possible. No course of this
kind is complete without some actual
Office practice. One method of secur-
ing this, which has proved very bene,
fetal to the departments where it
has been tried, is for the business
men of the town to cooperate with
the school by allowing the students
as practice work, to take some of
their dictation. At the end of the
second year of this work the student
should be able to fill an ordinary Office
position satisfactorily

new DEPARTMENT
PROVES VALUABLE
Commercial Course Offered For
First Time This Year In
HIS.

AS this is the first year that the
Commercial work has been offered in
the Willmar High School, it might
be of interest to know just what be-
ginning has been made and what the
aim of this department is. The course
is begun by offering the Freshmen a
half year of Commercial Arithmetic
and a half year of Commercial Geo.
graphy. After this year Commercial
Arithmetic will be a prerequisite for
Bookkeeping. We offer the Sopho-
mores half a year of Business Eng
fish and half year of Commercial
Law. This year, we have offered to
Juniors and Seniors alike, one year
course in Bookkeeping and the first
year of Shorthand and Typewriting
For the Bookkeeping we require two
forty-minute periods day, and for
each of the other subjects we have a
forty minute EACH. In the first year
of Bookkeeping we study the elemen-
tary principles; the use of the Jour-
nal, Ledger, Cash Book, Purchase
Book, Sales Book and Note Book. The
last half of the year business papers
are introduced and various Offices es-
tablished in the class room where bu-
siness may be transacted. A great
deal Of practice is given in making
Trial Balances, opening and closing
the books and making statements. In
our first years work in shorthand, our
aim is to mast the principles of the
system thoroly and to develop an or
binary reading ability. The last half
of the year we begin working for
speed. Simple letters are dictated
and read back and the last few months
the typewrtings and shorthand are
co-ordinated. IN typewriting we teach
the mechanics of the machine, the
care and oiling of the machine and
the changing of the ribbons. There
are several standard makes of ma
chimes in the department., giving the
student an opportunity of becoming
familiar with the various devices on
the different machines After the
