THE BONUS PLAN

Suppose congress does carry out its announced intention of giving to each ex-service man a certificate of credit instead of lump sum in casfi what will be the result?
 Hundreds of thousands of young men will take their certificates to the banks and pawn shops and borrow as much as possible on them, and wifi fail to meet the loans when they fall due. The banks or pawn shop men will either keep the certificates until maturity, or sell them to those who will
 The certificates, in other words will find their way into the strong boxes of the wealthy, while those for whom they were issued parted with them for half their value or less.
 The certificates will eventually be paid, not to the men who fought for the country, but to a few wealthy speculators.
 The more one thinks about this particular bonus plan, the less satis- factory does it appear.

OUR RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA

The number of famine deaths in Russia to date is estimated at more than 250,00O by Semashko, the soviet commissioner of health. Food, rushed by the American relief expeditions, has saved the lives probably of mil lions.
 The Russians who have been saved from deaths clutches by American food are bound to have kindly feel ing toward us that willb perpetuated through their descendants.
 And in the long run that feeling will be more important for international brotherhood than the official relations between the Russian and American governments.

FIRE PROTECTION

President Harding has issued a proclamation designating April p to April 29 inclusive as Forest Protec- tion Week. A similar proclamation has been issued by the President and a number of the Western State Gov ernors for a number of years past. It is well high time that the people of the United States are awaking and they are awaking-to the impor- tance of protecting the National Forests from fire.
 The original Forests of the United States covered approximately S22 million acres and contained 5,2O0 billion board feet. Through the vari- ous destroying agencies of which fire is one of the chief factors, the areas has been reduced to 563 mil lion acres which is only little more than one half of the original area, the volume has been reduced to 2,214 billion board feet which is only about 5OTo of the original volume.
 There is being used and destroyed in the United States more of every class of timber than is being pro- duced the young timber too small for the saw mill, but upon which out future supply of timber depends, is being destroyed three and one half times faster than it is being produced. This devastation is due largely to 1a,.r t0r nf xxyhI Dh l may be prevented. During the last five years there occurred in the United States 160,0o0 forest fires burning over territory of 66,5o0 square miles, or an are1 greater than that occupied by all the New England States. These fires occasioned a loss of SS5,O00,0 0,000.0t and cost the Government more thai $5,O00, ,000.00 to detect and suppress Statistics show that s0&% of thes' fires were caused by humane agencies therefore, it behooves each ant every one to be careful with fir in the woods.

DUNCAN NEWS

w. T. Witt, J. R. Fowler and B. F. Billingsley represented Duncan at the conv ention of the United States and Southern National Highway associa- tons at Phoenix, this week. The party left here on last Saturday morning and are expected to return home on next Sunday. On Friday of this week a party of Duncanites will motor to Miami to attend the formal dedication of the Miami-Superior highway, which promises to be one of the biggest meetings ever held in that camp.
 ! capacity audience witnessed the free picture show at the Duncan theatre on Monday night when pie lures showing the way the Sargent school in Colorado handled the youngsters to and from school, from all portions of the union school dis trict. The pictures were shown to give the people of this section an idea how the consolidation of a num- Der of school districts, with one school building, worKs toward better conditions for the pupils and increased attendance. The SCHOOL DOdIu Ol lNS DuilCdu ulSIilCt is meeting a question which must be settled soon. The present school is declared to be unfit for the needs of the district, and is also in need of much repair work. The board is attempting to ascertain the opinion of the people of the Duncan district, as well as outlying districts (the same as compose the Union Hign School district,) as to whether, through the consolidation of the various districts of the valley, a union school would meet with their approval. Considerable interest has been aroused and there have been many discussions for and against the proposed plan. Whether or not a consolidation of the districts will be brought about remains to be seen.

ARMY GREAT PEACE
AGENCY, SAYS Weeks
Secretary Says He Favors Only
Proper Degree of Insurance
Against War.
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. November 15.-The Army
as peace organization as opposed
to q war machine will be of inestimi-
able value to the nation in the present
and future. as in the past. Secretary
of War John w. Weeks said in an
address last night Al the annual meet
merce. He declared that the Amer
ican railroads owe their development
to the Army, and related how another
newer transportation system, by air
plane. was being fostered and pro-
noted by the War Department
Defending himself against charges
of militarism. which he said were
made against him from time to time.
Secretary Weeks said he had no
greater fondness for war than he had
for fire. murder. disease or bank
ruptcy. and that he merely continued
TO urge the degree of insurance
against war that business man
would urge against the other evils.
Per Capita Strength Small.
Referring to criticism Of War De-
partment officials recent appeal for
a minimum strength of 10000 men
for the Regular Army. Secretary
Weeks said:
smaller per capita strength Of Army
/ than that of any other American
| country except Canada. which Is pro-
tected by its participation in the
British empire.
| During the past summer we trained
| about $4,000 men in our citizens
training camps. Canada trained about
| 100000 in hers"
To the question How does Canada
afford this training?" the Secretary
, said he might reply that il is by cut

gum. We are a nation of gum chew
ers." he added. I'm a year we spend
three times as much for chewing gum
and candy as we spend for military
preparation
Need of Teaching System.
Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University. in an
address on educational problems as
serted that America is desperately in
need of a general teaching system
| whereby pupils in primary and sec
ondary schools may be taught the
principles of mercy, Justice and good
will among men.
He said that the voters OF to-
day were ignorant OF the most ele-
mentary principles OF political econ
omy and the elements of this sub
ject should be instilled into the
minds of every American child in
every school in the country.

School which gave 70 Marion County the honor %
having the first standardized school in west vir-
ginia. East Run made. tremendous effort to qualify
and its success is owing to the wonderful team work
OF pupils, parents aud teachers, who worked hard
for the honor and earned it beyond question. :.
The county schools are to be heartily congratu-
lated upon the close OF this most successful years
work. Marion County owes a great debt to the
teachers who have worked SO faithfully and effici-
emily In their various localities. The teacher Of
the rural school has the most difficult Of educa-
tlonal work, and she works In a remote field where
her efforts too often go unremarked and uuappre-
clated. When salaries are being boosted for teach
ers, the rural teacher deserves first consideration,
for her work is done under more difficulties than
falls to the lot of the city teacher, and her oppor-
tunities are fewer by far.

.GONNELl ENDORSES
THEATER PROJECT
Secretary Of Chamber Of Com.
merce Points Out Advan-
tages of Plan

Thomas D. Conner. .ecretary Of
the Chamber OF Commerce, ex-
presses himself al being well
pleased with the rapid manner in
which the plans for the early
building Of the new Main street
theater are taking shape. He says
that lone Of the first questions
that is asked Of the Chamber Of
Commerce by manufacturers who
are seeking locations for new en-
terprises is in regard to churches.
schools and amusements. These
people, and many Of them have
put these questions up to the
Chamber of Commerce since l
have been connected with the or
%ganlzation place much stress upon
these points. They say that 1t is
their belief that they get better
service from their employees IL
they are surrounded by good liv-
Ing conditions. and living condi-
tons are considered out Of the
trend of the times unless these
LHlA6s are PROVIDED.
They demand good schools for
their working people because that
makes for a more intelligent set
of workers. They want churches
because they are the means Of
making better citizens and more
honest and conscientious working
people, and they want amuse-
ments, such as the new theater
will provide, because that will go
a long way towards making them
satisfied workers and satisfied
workers produce more than those
who are living a sort Of hand to
mouth existence for the sake of
wages alone. In other words,
these things are necessary to make
a home loving people or good citi-
zens.
ut is partly for this reason that
the Chamber of Commerce has SO
strongly Endorsed this movement
and will cooperate in every way
possible to make the proposition
a success"
1t is claimed that practically
every business man In the city
who. has so far expressed himself
in regard 10 the new theater
agrees that its building and opera
ton will help every business in the
city because 1t will be the drawing
power to bring people from the
surrounding country into the city
and naturally this will add to the
receipts Of the business houses.

THE COTTAGE AT JACKSON PARK

He more jackson Park is discussed the great
! er possibilities 1t displays. There is every pro-
mise that the famous spot which was the birth
place Of Stonewall jackson, will in time become one
sof the finest parks that any state can boast. Lewis
County in which the park is located Is taking the
lead in making improvements there. Other coun-
ties will add their bit as the interest grows.
II is planned to have each county build a cot
tages at the park to house its boys and girls clubs
whenSthey go there for the summer out door period.
Harrison. County, Lewis County and Taylor County
are already planning their buildings, and expect to
erect them Immediately. so that the young peoples
agricultural. clubs from these counties can be made
comfortable at Jackson Park this summer. Marion
County will want a cottage in the park for her
young folks. and there is no reason that the county
should delay in building 1t. The work Of the agri-
cultural club is a most splendid thing for the boys
and girls, and Marion County has a most euthu-
siastici Organization. Jackson Park is accessible to
Marion County, and the summer work there will
bring scores of youngsters to the spot. The cot
tagel should be there to receive them. 1t should be
foorny, substantial. and comfortable, something
that the county Will be proud OF, and that will sup
ply all needs Of the young folk whom it will shell.
ter.
Jackson Park offers every natural feature for a
spot of sylvan beauty and every year will add to
lSitsG attractiveness. The state is interested in its
development, as we'll as the counties in its imme.
date vicinity, and nothing will stand between 1t
and the necessary improvements in the way OF
roads, paths, and lighting, as we'll as flowers and
shrubbery for its additional identifying. 1t will
this summer be visited by many hundreds of per-
sons, and. the number will be augmented every year
asipeople become familiar with its possibilities, and
accustomed to making use Of It, but first, and fore.
most,it belongs to the boys and girls of West Yir-
gtnia and 1t is primarily their summer play ground.
Marion County should. by all means, do her share
tnlthe work in connection with putting the park in
10 shape, and Marion County's cottage should be
among the very first to be reared there.

FINE WORK FOR COUNTY SCHOOLS

f1oUNTY schools are ending their years work
~ now. Numbers of them closed last Friday
with interesting exercises. and great satisfaction is
felt over the result Of the months spent in study
and training.
Marion County has never had such a successful
school year In her rural field. Everything has been
Spropitious for good work including the weather.;
with the single exception Of the prevalence OF a
mild kind OF flu nothing has i%ntcrfered with the
work in any way,
Community interest In the schools has been ex-
ceptional. Parents have co-operated with teachers
as never before and the social life Of the community
has %centered in many cases almost entirely in the
school programs, and in events planned in which
children and parents alike had a part. With the
start made along this line during the past school
year, next year ought TO he an even greater one,
With every man and woman actively interested in
1.-THE welfare of the school nearest his or her home
place
The tests at examination time were most satisfac-
tory. Over thirty pupils had an average higher
than ninety per cent and the rest of the school work
measured up accordingly. This means an excep-
ttonal lot Of students entering high school next
fall, and 1~bespeaks fine work upon the part OF the
Teaching force. The necessity for excellence In
Spelling was recognized in the schools this year and
especial emphasis laid upon this study. A very fat
.kprize offered by a local man inspired pupils TO extra
effort, so that the final contests In spelling which
produced the county winner was interesting to
pupils in every school, The winner OF the prize,
and Marion County's best speller, proved to be a
very bright young lady who triumphed over all
masculine opposition.
Perhaps the one school that stands out among
the general school excellence. is the East Run
