Health Inspection For
School Children Asked
Hospital Auxiliary Endorses Proposal
at Wednesday Meeting

The members present at the Hos
pital Auxiliary meeting yesterday af-
ternoon at Carnegie Library must
have been impressed with at least
three pleasing features. First of all,
the bright inspiring manner of our
new presiding officer. Mrs w. E.
Yeatman, the delightful comic sketch
es given by Miss chatham at the
end Of the business program and the
pleasant half hour "over the tea
cups" arranged by Mrs. S. L. Smith,
social chairman.
The devotionals were conducted by
Mrs. Lula SHEPPARD and Mrs. I. P.
Tyson. Committee reports were sub
mitted. Plans for aiding these COM
mittees financially were discussed, as
dues are used exclusively for charity
work.
The plan Of the president to work
for medical inspection of eyes, ears
and throats of all school children in
the fall, met with hearty endorsement
and the further plan of arranging a
free clinic for the treatment of those
unable to pay was discussed Doc
tors and school teachers know better
than even the parents generally do
how the neglect Of some of these
common defects in children, retard
their mental growth.
AS an entertaining feature well
chosen clippings were distributed for
miscellaneous reading and nj q
splendid scrap books made by Mrs.
]. G. Glover, Mrs. M. M. Stephens
Mrs. w. D. Dorminy and Mrs. Al. j.
Mcdonald for use of children and
elders who might be deprived OF
reading while patients were inspected
with much interest. Members should
keep ] nnind that the regular meet
ings occur the fourth Wednesday Of
each month at the Library, ass that
1921 dues are now payable.

ready to send an official d legation TO
this country for the purpose Of nego-
tiating an agreement to that end.
Government offivials were careful
MOI to commit themselves as to the
course that may be taken, but there
were indications that the closest
scrutiny had been given the recently
negotiated British Russian trade and
that. already a. somewhat broader in
depreciation had been given the regu-
lat,ons that defined the Wilson ad-
ministration's policy in dealing with
the Bolshevik Government.

arraignment Of President Wilson for

hope was expressed that the United
States would not continue to follow
"obdurately" the course taken BY
President Wilson who, the note de-
clared without cause and without any

CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOL, EFFECTED
Eureka to Consolidate Temper
arily with Evergreen
EXTEND SCHOOL TE RIM
Dorniney and Horton Consoli-
date with Ashton School

Five Ben Hill County schools have
been consolidated into two and the
school term in four of them, which has
been six months, will be extended TO
eight months for the lo2l-Io school
year. it was stated today by Superen-
tendent ]. H. Bullard of the county
schools.
Eureka and Horton schools will be
consolidated effective with the opening
of school October lst this year. Both
were formerly one-teacher schools but
according to the consolidation plan
three teachers will be retained next
year. A new school house willb built
at site to be selected by committee
composed of RI r. Dorminey, r. l..
Robitsch and w. M. Williams.
According TO tentative plans, the
new Eureka Evergreen school will be
a wooden building as the citizens of
that section Of the county look toward
a further consolidation in the future
and do not intend to tie up large sum
of the county's money in brick school
building which may later be discarded.
Dorniney and Horton schools will
be consolidated with Ashton High
school. Seven teachers will form the
Ashton faculty and it IS probable that
one Of them will be an agricultural ex-
pert with large part of his salary
paid by the United States government.
The county schools all close April
8th this year and preparations are on
foot for big commencement programs
at Ashton, Lynwood, and Dorminey
High School.

The postponed hearing Of the pc

handed OWN by Judge Sibleyauthori-
zing Col. B. L. Bugg, receiver, to re-
duce wages of the men, was taken up
again Tuesday aftrnoon at 800
O'Clock Shortly after the case was
opened District Attorney Hooper
Alexander applied and was granted
permission to intervene on behalf of
the government in defense of the con-
stitutionality of the Newlands act,
which, in one section, provides that a
notice of twenty days shall be given
before employees wages are reduced,
The provision of the Newlands act,
imposing twenty-day notice upon the
receiver, was attacked by his attorneys,
Brandon and Haynes, on the grounds
that the railroad was loosing some
thing like $1,000 day through the pre-
strike wage scale, and to further inn
pose this expenditure upon the road,
which was not making its operating
expenses, amounted to taking the COM
pany's property without due process of
law.

Concludes Argument


James A. Branch, of Branch and
Howard, counsel for the striking en-
ployees, concluded the argument he
began Saturday, and Attorney Morris
Brandon, representing the railroad,
took up the argument for the carrier.
Owing to the fact that the March term
of federal court is now running, the
session was very short. Attorney
Brandon will appear before Judge Sib-
ley when the hearing is resumed at 8
O'Clock this afternoon, and complete
his address.
In his speech, Mr.. Branch contended
that under the Newlands act the wage
reduction order of the court is null and
void, in that section 9 of the act pro-
vides that where road is in the hands
of receiver,no reduction shall be
made in the scale of wages until the
employees have been given twenty
days notice:
Assails Bugg's Statement
"Col. Bugg says that shopmen are
not necessary" he said, because trains
are like automobiles and will run a
certain length Of time without repairs,
and in proof of this he states that a
train has been operated an entire week
without repairs or inspection.
If Col Bugg attempted to operate
a railroad on that basis very long he
would pay out much more in damages
than he would have to pay in wages
ltcsan efficient force of employees
Attorney Brandon began his address
with the statement that the petition
for revocation of Judge Sibley's wage
order was based purely on question
of law.
The road involved serves large
number of people" he pointed out.
"and is a system of considerable extent.

There was fire yesterday Oh the
Braddock farm set by the engine on
the 500 train that destroyed about
forty acres Of thirty bushel wheat
which was in the shock. All hands
were called out to fight fire, which
was finally subdued after stretch
about three miles long had been
burned, mostly on unplowed land. The
damage to Mr.. Braddock was serious
and we understand that he is going
to put in claim against the railroad
for damages. It seems that the 500
Line is particularly careless about
the setting Of fires.
Had it not been for the fight made,
by the neighbors, great damage would
have resulted. s..
Another damaging fire on the res
ervation south of Antelope has been
reported.
