FAILS TO LIMIT
SKIRT LENGTHS
Directors Stir Up Hornets Nest In
Placid Kansas Town-Gfri
Pupils Object to Railing.

Lawrence, Kan. April How
short a girls skirt must be to be
a disturber of scholastic peace, and
when, If ever. it becomes the con-
Germ of a school board, are ques-
tions expected TO be laid before the
sunreme court of Kansas, following
the recent action of District Judge
uugh Means in sustaining a de-
murrer of the Vinland, Kansas,
rural school board against his jur-
isdiction in an action brought On
behalf of Alice Hansen and Maude
buchanan, Vinland high school
pupils. against the board.
Alice and Maude are Is years
old. and both are farmers daugh-
fers. Court action was brought by
i E. Hansen, father of Alice, when
the Vinland school board, after
adopting a rule requiring pupils to
wear skirts three inches below the
knees. decided that the skirts of
Alice and Maude did not meet spec
iications, and expelled them until
such times as their skirts should
be lowered.
On application of Mr.. Hansen,
Judge Means issued a temporary
order directing the school board to
permit the girls to return to their
studies. They did so, without res
ervations or amendments as to
skirt length. Then the school board
filed Il demurrer to Judge Means
jurisd elton, which the judge up
held, and Hansen's attorney an
nounced an appeal to the supreme
court
The action of the school board
stirred up hornets nest in the
usually placid community of Vim
land Supporters of the school
board said the board was right;
that three inches below the knee
was a liberal allowance for skirts.
others, particularly friends of the
girls mothers, said they believed
Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Buchanan,
who made the costumes in question
at home, knew more about what
was right and modest for girls to
wear than any three men in the
county, school board directors or
not

persons In all parts OF the United
States.
Serious minded women wrote 70
MIN gravely, pointing out the mer-
It's OF short skirts from q sanitary
standpoint.
Others feared the decadence OF
national morals, and still others
were concerned over the peril to
national liberties OF school boards
were to be permitted to determine
styles.
The most yoluble adherents of
short skirts among Judge Means
correspondents were women.
One woman said that morals and
skirt lengths had no connection.
that 1t was all a question OF the
purpose and intent with which
clothes were worn. Another de-
clared skirts anywhere between the
knees and the shoe tops were en-
trely proper.

in Guildhall Congregational

Mr.. Mahurin was born in
Colebrook, N. H., July 27, 1858
In 1881 he married Miss Eva M
Hogue, of Stewartstown, NH.
For twenty-five years they liv-
ed on a farm at East Stewards

death. For the past three

has frightened the lives of old

of his whole-hearted generosi-

The Lazy Failures

A QUESTIONABLE sent out by
certain school authorizes to
$500 students who failed in
one or more subjects during
the fl rst school term revealed
the fact that IT per cent of the
failures were due to laziness
ON the part of the student or to
lack of interest in the subject.
Ten per cent of the students
questioned failed because of
absence or illness. Only two
percent claimed unfairness on
the part of the teachers. Of
the remaining number some
failed to answer, and others
laid their failures to outside
interests which crowed the per-
iod of some study and distract
ed the mind in school.
It is a comment on the cause
of failures which should be in
teresting to parents and teach
ers alike. There is a hazy
notion current that most fail
ures could be prevented if it
could just be known what caus-
ed them. Here is the desired
information supplied by the
students themselves.
A similar investigation of
conditions under any school
system would be valuable and
should open the door to timely
and effective cooperation be-
tween the school and the home
to reduce the preventable fail
ures to the vanishing point.

The Sc1vs

There IS room &C. honest DIFF
ference of opinion over the sold
Ter s bonus mater.
There are thee who believe
that the men who se"vod the
country in the world war
should be given some substan-
tial recognition of their SER
vices b. . grateful country
while there are others who be-
lieve that a mans first duty is
to his country. and that none
of those who did not suffer by
reason of wounds or accident
while in the line of duty should
be paid anything more than
they have already received. All
the people are agreed that the
country cannot do too much for
those who were disabled while
in the service. ".
But whatever ones views
may be, all of us will agree
that if Congress passes q bonus
bill it, should be because the
members of. Congress honestly
think It should. he passed and
not thru hope Of gaining votes
or fear of tosipa them. ~ -
"A bonus given under. such
circumstances would be worse
than no bonus at all. A, bonus
civen under such circumstance
81 will be resented, by those
who receive it.
1.-THE Congressman who re-
.1octs himself or his position
~ not consider or discuss the
'itical effect Of his vote, but
+her the business Of the pro-
osition before him. And the
ex-service men will be pretty
hard to fool in the matter.

Minstrel Show q Success

The Minstrel Show given
last week under the auspices of
the Village Improvement So
ciety was a decided success in
every way. The advertised
performance was given We'd
nesday evening to a packed
house. The first part of the
program was certainly appre-
ciated by the audience. Every
song number was encored-and
the jokes greeted with bowls
of delight. The local hits
especially pleased them, and
the victims hold no hard feel
ings. The ends were F F
Smith, Ralph Reed, Fred Lilli-
crap, J R Ralston, John Moyse
and G M Powers; they were a
lively bunch, something doing
every minute. Clyde Brown,
made a dignifed interlocutor,
always right there with the
cross-fre. Little VERNE Moyse
made a sporty small coon in his
dress suit, and his song was
one of the hits of the evening.
The chorus looked fine, the
ladies dressed in white with
red coats cut tuxedo style and
the men in green blouses. They
were ready on the dot for ev-
cry chorus and made a splen-
did background for the stunts
of the Ends.
The second part was espec-
tally we'll carried out. Mr..
Virtues clog, assisted by Jack
Ralston and Fred Lillicrap,
made a big hit.
Little Eleanor Wheaton won
her audience with her song,
and dance, but greater than
either with her charm.
The Dummies were very real
istic, and performed like real
circus animals, under the able
leadership of Miss Evelyn Has
tings.
Mr.. and Miss Reed gave a de
lightfully dainty song and
dance with grace in every
movement.
The closing number was an
uproarously funny pantomine
sketch. Mrs Clyde Brown was
hardly recognizable as a coy
old maid whose two rival sweet
hearts were Wallace Richards,
a burlesque Frenchman with
exaggerated fine manners, and
Jacob Richardson. Jr., a farm
er doing his best to keep up
with the Frenchman.
Dancing followed until two
O'Clock.
The show was produced nu-
der the direction and coaching
of Mrs. G. M. Powers, for the
purpose of raising funds to
make a payment on the new
piano purchased in the fall by
the Y. I. s. We are happy to
state that enough was realized
to finish paying for the piano,
and still have a balance to put
into the treasury.
The Wednesday perform
ance was such a success that
it was repeated Saturday even
ing to a house again filled three
quarters.
Mrs Powers wishes to thank
all who helped so well, espec-
tally the chorus, as it would
have been impossible to have
given the show at this date
with only twelve rehearsals if
all had not turned out we'll for
each rehearsal.

TO HOLDERS OF 1918 WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS

Every person who can do SO
should exchange War Saving
Stamps whichLwil be payable on
January 1, 1923, for Treasury
Savings Certificates.
The large amount of money
invested and the great number
of persons who purchased war
savings stamps showed that the
people of this country could save
money when the neces-
sity arose. Now, if they
will take the money they saved
when they bought stamps to
aid the government in the pros
ecution of the war and buy
Treasury Savings Certificates,
they will demonstrate that the
thrift lessons of the war have
not been without effect. The
holders Of war savings stamps
have seen investments of about
$20.50 grow to SIS in five years,
and larger amounts in the same
proportion. They can see the
same thing repeated if they re-
invest in Treasury Savings Ger
Itificates. Interest accumulates
at the rate Of 4 per cent each
year, compounded semi-annualIy.
These savings certificates are
exempt from the normal Federal
income tax, and from all State
and local taxation Except estate
and inheritance taxes), and may
be held to the amount of S5, ZOO
maturity value, for each issue,
by every member fthe family.
They are backed by the credit
of the United States Govern
ment, and afford an easy and
sure method Of saving.
