SCHOOL NOTES


The Senior play was a success from
every standpoint A we'll trained cast
end chorus played to full house, un.
der ideal conditions. The faculty and
teachers in charge fully appreciate the
help and cooperation of all students
OF High School and 'ithose outside
who contributed in any way.
They are especially indebted to the
Brown brothers, Christian Church
Orchestra and the Misses Patterson
The clog dancing of Hoke and Dow
Brown is unsurpassed by professionals
Hoke is student of the 10th grade,
and expects to use his talent in MAX
ing his way thru college, for which he
is to be commended.
The orchestra, of which Turner
Brown is director, furnished music be-
tween acts and AIDED much to the sue
cess of the evening. The members are
excellent musicians and their splendid
spirit i'll giving their services on this
OCCASION was certainly appreciated.
Misses Patterson, who are members
Of the orchestra, gave several special
numbers
Each year the class uses the funds
from the play for some specific purpose
desided on by the class. This year the
seniors wanted an elaborate annual.
Supt. Bennett issued instructions that
this would not be possible unless the
necessary funds were in hand before
contract was let. All ethat the class
needed was to be told this. With such
a leader as Harvey Jay, funds began
to accumulate and the nice sum of
nearly 5000 from the class play COM
pleted the required amount. They ex-
pect to have an annual that would do
credit to a college.
The Spelling Contest for the seniors
will be held this week. The average

with that of other schools in district

Sugar PrOfiteers
Hold Up the People
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-The profteers who hold
up American wage earners on every
pound of sugar which they buy for
the family larder are not paying
wages which will support family at
the lowest level of subsistence.
The S4,000,000 profits which the
American Sugar Refining Co. will
show as result of it's refining op-
erations this year are made at the
expense of wage earners. According
to a Wall Street paragraph, "Ameri-
can Sugar has one of the smallest la
Dor costs of any of the large indus
trials of the country. It's 10000 en-
ployes are 25 per cent unskilled and
on an eight-hour day the average
wage in the sugar refining industry is
not much over 81 900 a year. The big
sugar company does not pay much if
any more than $10,000,000 in wages"
Manufacturing profits a year ago
were fully equal to the entire wage
bill, amounting to $10,083,832. In
other words the stockholders who
have long ago got back all that's
coming to them for their money con-
tribution to the industry got just as
much for doing nothing as the work
ers got for producing the goods.
American Sugar Refining owns two
big Cuban raw. sugar producers. They
represent an investment of S3O,OOO,-
900 and have made a profit of 81
bag on a production of 1,164,000 bags
this season. This means an immense
increase over year ago in the profits
made on raw sugar.

1T WAS THE TRUTH

A reader kicked the other day be-
cause of the publicity given the dis
covery of the big cement vault in the
cellar of the country home of B. G.
Dawes, southwest of town, filled to
the brim with choice selection of
high-class wines and liquors.
Now the "Hired Man" believes in
telling the truth, and sees no reason
for shielding one and ripping up an
other; and just because one fellow
happens to be president of an oil
company he is in the eyes of the law
no better than the uneducated for
eigner who is soaked for possessing
a half pint of raisin jack; at least
that appeared to be the opinion of
Mayor White, of Hebron, who fined
"B. G." $1,000 and ordered his illicit
liquor confscated.
Because some newspapers use much
space under big headlines every time
some poor devil gets caught with the
goods on him, and lets his guilty fell
low law violator off with three lines
in an obscure corner, is no reason
for the "Hired Man" doing likewise.
There is considerable wisdom in the
advice of the old-timer who said "hew
to the line, let the chips fly where
they may"
Beeman G. got off easy. If the
owner Of the pint of raisin jack,
worth at present quotations about one
dollar, gets $500 and costs, then it
would follow as a natural sequence
that the owner of liquor valued at
upwards of $4,000 should get about
ten thousand times the penalty, would
it not?
Yep. "B. G." got off easy.

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendatiOn and Criticism of Our
Public Servants Bestowed as
Deemed Just By Leaders
Hired Man
ORR'S WATERLOO

There is no denying the fact that
the hand of the Klansman was very
material factor in shaping the result
of Tuesdays primary election, at least
SO far as the selection of a Republican
candidate for mayor is concerned
Else why should the so-called claw
and order" representative be showed
under by majority of upwards of
1000?
Tuesdays Ohio State Journal, in
speaking of the Newark political
fight, said:
"Klansmen assert the election to-
day will test the strength of Major
Charles Montgomery, state chairman
Of the Republican central committee,
who has incurred the wrath of the
Klan and is backing Orr as the regu-
lar Republican nominee. Mr.. Mont
gomery's friends, on the other hand,
assert it is test of the American
ism of citizens of Newark, and are
confident of winning"
The "Hired Man" is firm believer
that the will of the majority should
rule in all things, especially in pol
itical matters. Two men of opposite
politics have been selected as candi-
dates for mayor of Newark. One of
them will be elected in November,
Ind he will be the choice of a majority
of the voters. He will undoubtedly
exercise his authority for the better
ment and interests of the city, and
should be respected and obeyed ac-
cordingly.

DISPLAY OLD GLORY PROPERLY

The ignorance or lack of under
standing of a large number of our
citizens upon the proper manner of
displaying the American flag was
shown in numerous instances last
week, when liberty's emblem was so
profusely employed in honoring the
memory of our lamented President.
The following brief and simple
rules should be followed for correctly
displaying the flag: When flown from
it's own pole it should be by day only,
with the union at the top of the staff.
When hung fiat against wall, with
the stripes horizontal, the union
should be in the upper left-hand
corner; if the stripes are perpen-
dicular the union should be in the
upper right-hand corner.
By following these instructions in
the future the flag will be properly
placed and the many errors occurring
las, week will be avoided.

NO VIOLENCE
STREET CARS RUN EMPTY IN
SCHENECTADY
COmpany's Bluff in Operating Lines
Source of Amusement to Citizens
For Past Ten Weeks

Schenectady, N. 'Y.-All Schenec-
tady sits on its front porch and gazes
upon the most amazing sight that
ever an American municipality had
to look upon
Ten weeks ago members of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees went
on strike. Today cars manned by
strike breakers roll along the tracks
Inhabited only by motorman and con-
ductor, or on the one-man cars only
by the motorman.
Schenectady insists that these men
must ride alone. Nobody else cares
in the least to ride with them. So
? the strike breakers have the cars all
to themselves. Nobody gets aboard
either to bother them or to give them
fares.
Many cities have seen street cars
operated by strike breakers, but it is
to be doubted whether any city so
thoroughly and without exception al
lowed the strike breakers to have the
cars all to themselves.
On some of the interurban lines
there are passengers, but on the city
lines the first passenger has yet to
take his seat and pass his fare.
Families in the residence districts
observe the empty cars passing day
after day, deriving amusement and
wonderment at the spectacle. They
sit on their front porches in the even
ing, watching the phenomenon and
talking it over. Their discussions are
among themselves. No word ever
reaches the ears of tn car crew. The
strike breakers, for their part, ira
verse miles of silent streets. If they
wonder what the people say and think
nobody gives them the answer. If
contempt is felt it isn't spoken.
The crews ride on, motorman at his
post, conductor sprawled out in
seat, reading a paper. The cars roll
on, car after car, empty like spook
cars hurrying from one graveyard to
another in search of more and more
emptiness.
Before the strike the company said
it couldn't afford to provide better
service. 1t has afforded operation
without passengers and revenue for
ten weeks. This town thinks that
afford" must be a word with many
meanings. Meanwhile the people of
Schenectady find that they can afford
and enjoy walking or riding in the
multitude. of jitneys.
