SCHOOL PROGRAM

A. program was given March 3rd
tby the pupils Of the combined schools
.of the Misses Florence Dahlin and
Florence Swanson at the farmers
school house in Emmons county. The
program was a success from start to
finish. Patriotic pieces were spoken
land all the patriotic songs were sung
including "Out Where the West Be
gins" The play presented was en-
titled Teacher, Kin / Go Home," in
which the pupils taking part acted
exceedingly well. A negro comedy,
Hungry" and the song "Star Span
sgled Banner" concluded the program.
Although the school was of good
size it was not large enough to ac-
comodate the crowd which attended,
but the favorable weather permitted
those not finding room within to

His Scientific Deductions Not Neces-
sary to Prove Souls Immortality.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Permit
me space to comment upon the state
ment of the French scientist Camille
Flammarion that he has proved by
scientific studies that the soul or spirit
OF man lives after the death of the
body. The Bible proves It by faith and
manifestations. Christ was seen after
death by twelve disciples. also by two
on the road to Emmaus. Moses and
Elisha were seen by Peter, James and
John on the Mount of TRANSPORTATION.
Christ was seen by the Apostle Paul
on the road TO Damascus.
Christians are so busy giving glory To
Christ that they have no time or in
clination to return to earth. Moreover.
we are told in the story of Dives and
Lazarus by Abraham that there IL a
great gulf fixed between them and us.
so that they who would pass from thence
TO us cannot God has His special mes
sengers which He sends when there is
anything to be communicated TO souIs
on earth. There is no science in the
spirit land. 1t is all wisdom and glory.

Boys and Dogs.

The matter with Kansas is just
now centered in Emporid. The most
gifted and prominent citizen of that
town, WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, is hav-
ing an intellectual hot spell because
the city officials offered the boys of
Emporia 25 cents apiece FOR every
stray dog brought to the city pound
to be killed.
A boy who would do such thing.
says Mr.. WHITE in his paper, the
Emporia Gazette, ought to be killed
himself. We can't go as far as this
with the Hon. WILLIAM, but in the
main his Indignation is justified. 1t
isn't matter of saving the dog but
of saving the boy. Stray dogs ought
to be picked up and humanely dis
posed of; it is best for them as vel.
as for the community. But let the
work be done by grown men. men
whose moral fiber can stand the
twist of carting off stray dog to
the lethal pound A Kansan Of the
Ed Howe type would not do. Ed
HOWE is too cynical; he would lee
ture the dog on the evils of failure,
for manifestly stray dog is not
success and ED HOWE admires Sue
cess more than anything else...
Dogs have lot of faith in boys.
Not even the years OF tin can epi-
sodes have destroyed their confidence,
and boys don't tie cans to dogs tails
any longer, for boys are too busy
with cycles, motor cars, motion pic
lures and radio to seek cruel amuse-
ment. A dog thinks boy is an in
stitution created to play with him,
just as he thinks a lawn party is the
place to shake himself when he is
wet. In return for being played with
the dog gives to the boy an example
of sincerity and patience.
If it ever entered the dog mind
that a boy was a creature whose
function it was to sell stray dogs to
the executioner for the price Of a
couple of ice cream sodas the whole
balance of youth would be upset
1t is amazing that any Kansas
town ever fell into the error which
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE rebukes.
There must be plenty of grown men
out there-retired politicians and the
like--who can do the dog catching.

The Ventnor Pearl Problem.

1t is too bad that SOLOMON is dead.
He would have so delighted in sitting
in judgment on the Ventnor Pearl
Problem and deciding the ownerchip,
as he did in the famous case Of the
rival claimants to the baby.
The facts may be stated briefly:
LoTTrE GRAY in preparing dinner at
the home of Mrs. o. ]. HAMMELL of
ventnor, New Jersey, president of
the League of Women Voters, sam
pied one of the clans she was open
ing. She nearly choked in her eff
forts to overcome an obstacle which
she believed was marble. Mrs.
HAMMELI, attracted by the excite.
ment. hit the maid several sharp raps
en- the back, and with this stimula-
tion LoTTIE coughed up giant pearl.
"reflecting all the colors of the rain
bow"
She refused to surrender the pearl,
though her mistress insisted, so
LoTTIE left her job, consulted coun-
sci, who advised her that her title
was clear, and so tho case stands a.
present.
1t should really be fought out in
the courts and, IL necessary, carried
up to the Supreme Court, that the
nation need not stay awake nights
all summer trying TO work out to
whom the pearl belongs.
without presuming to anticipate
the Supreme Court, there are certain
phases which should be considered.
Was LoTTIE exercising laeS official
duty in sampling the clans within
her hours OF service, or was this on
her own time, between periods of her
assigned duty?
Was she hired at so much a month
and found? If so, was the con-
tract operative when she found the
pearl?
Under the law the finder of lost
property is allowed to- retain 1t until
1t Is claimed by the owner and own
ership proved. Had the pearl been
lost at all? If so, who lost It? Had
the pearl been owned at all? What
are the rights Of the clam seller?
II LoTT1E acquired her right by re-
trieving the pearl from the clam, did
her mistress acquire equal right by
retrieving it from the depths of
LoTr1E by sharp raps on the back?
Is the whole thing a conspiracy on
the part of the housekeepers of Vents
nor to make domestic service "a lot

suspccting clans designed for ulti-
mate home consumption?

Lost-A Valuable Meteor.

About four weeks ago, in the eve
ming of May u, an enormous meteor,
of the variety known as bolides,
which consist of blazing masses, fol-
lowed by trains of sparks, and ex-
ploding when they land, flashed
across the sky of southeastern Vir-
ginia. The newspaper dispatches
say it struck the earth near Black
stone, in 'Nottoway county, about
fifty miles southwest of Richmond,
and the concussion rocked dwellings
in half a dozen surrounding towns.
A sheet of flame blazed up when the
meteor landed. lighting the country
for miles around with glare like
that of midday.
The particulars of this remarkable
occurrence were not exhausted with
these details. The exact spot where
the bolide struck was designated. 1t
was about twelve miles northwest OF
Blackstone. The bolide smashed
through a grove of oak trees, several
Of which it dragged down and buried
in the great hole of more than 500
square feet area which the meteor,
estimated to weigh over twenty tons,
made in the ground. A few days
flater it was reported that scientists
from Richmond had gone to examine
the arrival from aloft and to make
an analysis of its composition.
Now the question arises. What has
become of that bolide? Have, as
might have been expected, people
come from great distances to see the
astonishing exhibit with their own
eyes? And did the Richmond scien-
fists find it? Surely, a metallic mass
weighing twenty tons that had swept
great trees down into a hole Of 500
square feet in the ground, at point
clearly described, Ought to be easily
reached. Surely, also, the scientists
who went in. search of it might tell
the world come parts at least of the
results of their investigations.
So far as we are aware there has
been no such statement from them.
We do not even know that they
found the bolide. Did they find it?
If they did not find it, how in the
world did such twenty ton grain
of star dust manage to get lost? For
lost it seemingly is, in spite Of the
minute specifications as to its where
abouts. Apparently it has vanished
as completely as has the fiery trail
it left behind in its terrific plunge
from the fathomless depths of space
to Nottoway county, Virginia.

No matter what the regular wage
