School Work

Be prompt. We fully realize how
difficult it is to run twenty-four class
es thru plus opening exercises in six
hours, having but ten or fifteen min
utes for each class. The difficulty
with most teachers is that of running
over scheduled time; it is either time
for the next class or dismissal and
over before the teacher realizes it.
When that happens once, the results
are not noticed, however the continued
habit of doing this will have the ten
dency of pushing back below stand
ard that class that has not had time
chase one. The teacher should study
to be held during that month Teach
ers will be pleased to see that all
classes are held during the month
when they should be.

Convicted of Various Crimes, ln-
Guiding BootIeggng, Bigany.

Washington, June 21 President
Harding granted executive clemency
to seventy-four persons, including
twenty-seven World war prisoners.
The President, before starting on
his Alaskan trip, acted on 158 pardons

breaking number in the opinion OF
Department of Justice officials.
He granted thirty conditional and
fourteen unconditional combinations,
one full pardon, restored civil rights
to twenty former prisoners and
denied eighty-four applications for par
dons or combinations.
Interest centers in the cases of
those convicted Of violating the es-
pionage, draft and other war laws.
These numbered forty-eight, and

FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF
Some Difference of Opinion as to
Apples That Were Eaten by
Adam and Eve.

How many apples did Adam and Eve
eat?
Some say Eve s and Adam Pa total
Of 10 only.
Now, we figure the thing out far diff
ferently: Eve 8 and Adam 8, also
total 10.
On second thought think the above
figures are entirely wrong.
If Eve and Adam 81, certainly the
total would be 80.
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the ante
diluvians were a race of giants, reason
something like this: Eve 81 and
Adam 82-total, 1853.
Wrong again. What could be clear
err than if Eve 81 and Adam 812 the
total was 1913?
We believe the following to be the
true solution: Eve 814 Adam and
Adam 1924 Eve-total 1898.
Still another calculation is as fol-
lows: If Eve 814 Adam. Adam 81242
oblige Eve-total 82,O56. II Unidentified.
Paradoxical though 1t may SEEM
many man who declares his opinion
has none.

fastest.

Then the Mauretania's greatest
speed was equaled passed!
The Leviathar accomplished its
speed record under adverse conditions,
the naval experts aboard say.
Everybody on board celebrated the
achievement in nautical fashion
drinking clamorous toasts to the Unit
ed States, to the Leyiathan and to
AL Lasker, shipping board head, VINO
directed the program for the recondl-
tioning of the vessel. The toasts were
drunk in iced tea, of course. There
is nothing else on board.

More Than Interest.

One of the railroad systems of
this country makes a practise of
keeping about SI,5oo, 900 on de-
posit with local banks along its
lines. These banks have instruc-
tlons to make loans from this fund
to business men who are patrons
OF the road. Only a nominal inter
est is charged.
Good horse sense in that kind, of
railroad management. They
might invest the million and a
half in other ways and earn more
interest. But interest is not wha,
they want. The management,
wants profits.
The million and a half enables
many business enterprises to keer
moving at increased speed. That
in turn produces more freight fo,
the road to haul, and the freigh,
produces the profits the road is
looking for.

Too Much Goat.

Because there is an enormous
amount of surplus wheat in this
country farmers are facing a tre-
mendous loss through a red uction
in the price OF wheat, while every
thing that he buys is still up in
the sky"
The proposal that this wheat be
stored in bonded warehouses scat
tered throughout the farming
communities until it is required for
actual consumption, or a foreign
market is created for it appears to
be about the only solution that
offers any degree of hope to the
farmer.
1t is suggested that large gran
aries on farms be bonded by the
government, and that adjacent
farmers store their surplus wheat
in these bonded granaries. This
would enable farmers in need of
immediate funds to borrow against
their wheat in bond.
1t is believed that this method of
disposal would keep the price OF
wheat in proportion to the cost OF
other necessities of life.
The entire nation is dependent
upon the farmer He should no,
be made doormat for the rest of
human family. TOO mnch goat
does not appeal to him.
