George w. Brassfield, scion of a
pioneer Weston family and well and
favorably known to the old timers
hereabouts, was in town Monday on
a business visit. George manages to
get to Weston about once in ten

Everyone one has the right Of free
speech. No meeting Of even an ex-
ecutive committee is ever held behind
closed doors. All members are invi-
ted. The handful Of men interested
enough in the Legion to take time
from their affairs to work for the
Legion would look less like clique
in some posts if the entire member
ship would get out and work.
Are The Dues Too Much?
The price Of dozen packages Of
cigarettes, a theater ticket or two,
maintains National headquarters,
department headquarters and local
post, buys fifty-two copies Of the
livest and snappiest magazine on the
market worth double the price alone.
A few dollars for membership in
an exclusive organization that no mil
lionaire can buy his way into un-
less he is eligible. The lowest dues
of almost any organization in Amer
lea, and more work to do with it.
Ex-service men, your sense Of duty
and fair play urges you to join the

ness. East is east and west is west

PARIS, Sept. 5.-A day at the
clinic of DR.. Emile Coue, the healer,
of Nancy, would indicate that the
human mind is the master of human
disease.
His fame as a healer has spread
afar and people from all parts of
France are coming to him. Scien-
lists are watching closely the work
he is performing.
Coue does not claim that his meth,
DDS are a substitute for medicine or
surgery. He does not claim to have
substitute for religion But he does
claim-and his successes substantiate
him-that auto-suggestion is helpful
in organic as wen as in nervous and
functional diseases.
Anyone can practice auto-sugges-
ton for himself, without seeking the
help of another person." says DR..
Gone.
Stated simply, the practice of au-
to-suggPstion consists Of eliminating

For instance, have. you head
ache? Concentrate on phrase such
as "fhe pain is going away" Re

no room for any other thought, The
pain will leave.

ITCHING ECZEMA
DRIED RIGHT UP
WITH SULPHUR

Any breaking out OF the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
sulphur, says noted skin specialist
Because of its germ destroying proper
ties, this sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation. soothes
and heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment
and Disagreement. Sufferers from skin
trouble should get a little jar of Rowles
Slentho- Sulphur from any good druggist
and use it like cold cream.

From the above letters, we find
the fact that our present salary sche-
dule compares favorably with salar-
les being paid and further fact that
the other cities are, largely, not re-
Quoting salaries and that we cannot
expect to get efficient teachers at the
suggested salary schedule.
Much has been said regarding the
present high cost of operating our
schools as compared to 1914-1915.

pupil for 1914-1915 and 1921-1922.

cities and compare it with Washburn.
You will find that Washburn falls

The aims of our schools include the
idea of teaching one to live for his

Much has been said in regard to
reducing expense of operating the
schools through lowering teachers
salaries. While many arguments
may be brought to bear on either
side of this question, it is not our
purpose to enter into the argumenta-
tive or theoretical side of that ques-
ton, but bear in mind that poor
teacher is expensive at any price
while a good teacher is inexpensive
at any salary. The training now
given to your child comes back in
future dividends. The money in
vested or spent in the maintenance
of our public schools is not an ex-
penditure, it is an investment. The
boys and girls of yesterday invested
in public schools. We now have bet
ter homes, better facilities for ac-
complishing our purposes, wider
range of possibilities etc., because of
these investments made by the boys
and girls of yesterday. Could these
same boys and girls of yesterday but
talk to us now they would say they
are happy to have paid the price that
we might now enjoy the things we
have. VIII the boys and girls of
tomorrow be able to look back with
pride upon the investment that we are
making today for them?
The local board has adopted a
salary schedule, with cut of
2O9o in the present schedule. I'm
mediately upon learning of it, the
superintendent of schools wrote to

DIR RnYs AND GIRLS

The most valuable asset to any com
munity is its boys and it's girls. In
them lies the reason for the present
and hope. FOR, the future. The past
belongs to the boys and girls of
yesterday. The present is ours but
the future belongs to the g rls and
boys of today. What shall that
future be? Its possibilities are
limited only by the limitations of
those whose hands and minds direct
the present. We know how limited
we are nthe things we may accom-
plish. Those boys and girls Of yes
terday, to whom we owe the things
we have, struggled to give US our OPP
portuniteis of today. No sacrifice
was too great; no work too arduous;
no difficulty too meancing to keep
them from working so that we might
be better equipped for life and its
work than they were. Shall we of
today be. less anxious and willing to
give the boys and girls of today. our
boys and girls, a brighter, broader
and bigger tomorrow?
Who is there that would spare eX-
pense, even to mortga giIg or selling,
all he has or may ever hope to OBJ
tain if by so doing he may save the
life Of his child or restore it to life
and happineses? Where is that
parent who would, when life or death
is the issue, intrust the welfare of
his child to the ordinary physician?
On the contrary, regardless of cost, he
will employ the specialist. When life
and death! battle for supremacy in the
child's career, nothing but the best
is desired or accepted. What par
ent who does not desire his boy or
girl to have future filled with great
er promise and more complete full
fillment than his own has been?
Because of our hope for the future,
we have founded our public school.
The school EXISTS for the children of
the community. Where there are
no children, there are no schools.
Where there are children, there must
be schools. Hence, the only rea-
son for the existence of schools is our
children. No group of people, re-
CARELESS of religious or political
creed, has any right to take any mea-
sure or steps to hinder or destroy
these schools. The children of
Washburn are entitled to every OPP
portunity that is afforded any other
children wherever they may be. Our
schools must be maintained and our
boys and girls must not be permitted
to go out into the world handicapped
by an inadequate education. Just as
the body calls for expert attention, so
does the education of the child call
for expert attention. This expert
attention can be given only by COM
