Watch for the announcement
of the next P.-T.-A. meeting.
Easter indications such as rab-
bits, Easter eggs, lilies, ETC., are
much in evidence in the various
rooms this week. 4.
At a recent fire drill sixty
three seconds elapsed from the
beginning of the alarm till the

operation of the short routes.
Monday morning those pupils
within the two miles will walk to
school.
An extension was put on the
chimney on the little school
house last week. When the wind
was in a certain direction it
caused the stove to smoke more
or less.

WELL RECEIVED

The Danish plays, Victor and

talent under auspices of the
Young Peoples Society, went over
in good shape and both plays
appeared to be much enjoyed by
the large audiences.
The first play-"Victor"- writ
ten by the late Carl Hansen1a
resident of Tyler for many years
and well known to a number of
Askov people-depicts everyday
life amongst Danes in America, is
real interesting and carries good
morals. N. c. Laursen acted up
in stern fashion the part of
the farmer with the many irons
in the fire, full of business and
politics, but finally breaks under
the pressure and discovers that
money and greed are not the real
worth while things in life. Mr..
Laursen's makeup was good but
THAT of Miss Sina Sorensen who
played the part of his wife, did
not correspond. She appeared
too young and looked more like
a sister than mother to Mrs. ".
S. Petersen who played the part
of daughter.
j. c. Jensen played the comical
part, that of the neighbor, who
was always talking about the
weather conditions and brought
down the house as he did six
years ago when the same play
was presented.
The second play was the means
of discovering more new talent in
the community, Alfred Jacobsen
showing no little amount of abil-
ity in the theatrical line and the
acting of Owe Hermansen, Albert
Juhl and Henry Simonsgaard was
also very good. Time and space
prevents more detailed mention,
but the singing Of the boys
amongst whom there are some
strong. clear voices, was really
the best part Of the second play.
Miss Gudrum Paulsen also acted
and sang her parts well.

e Divorce Encouraged.
I'VE must not deceive ourselves, tffe
zeal issue in this country Is: is mar
riage worth saving?' the statement
declared. Facilities for dissolVing mar
riage abound, inflaming every triflng
dispute. encouraging marital inf1delity
and stimulating hasty or secret unions.
Thousands of young people, knowing
that the law permits consecutive, or
tandem polyamy, enter the married
state with the deliberate purpose OF
Breaking 1t off should it be unsatlsfac-
tory.
divorce is invariably accompanied
by sterility. Birth control is PROB
lem that needs to be faced. The whole
subject of the end and object OF mar
riage must be set forth with patience,
Wisdom and love. The church, sent to
teach and lead, utters no strong clear
note on this vital theme. Our own
church is shamefully remiss in her
neglect of plain preaching on the ma
ture of Christian marriage.
ALLOWING for notable and beautiful
exceptions, 1t is generally true that
the American home mas ceased 10
function. We are not facing crime
wave nor suffering from the effects OF
war. Our ills grow out of the break,
down of the home. The essential need
underlying all this Is to make Amer

E25, 100000 Plan to Take Heavy

Nv the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 23.-The Daily
Graphic says that American capital
lists have just completed preliminary
plans for giving London the biggest
underground railway system in the
history of transportation, involving
an outlay of f25,000.000
"A network of freight railways below
the level of the present passenger sub
way system is planned, the idea be-
ing to speed up surface traffic by
transferring freight haulage from the
streets to the new railway system.
The scheme has been designed by all
English engineer, but most. of the
money for it's execution, the Graphic
saws. is coming from the United
States.
In the event such a system is con-
structed, freight would be trans
fer ed from the ground level to the
subway by great elevators, and the
tracks would connect with the ter
minals of the surface railways, as well
as the great markets. The plan needs
the sanction of Parliament.

not until the third offense that a Jail
sentence could be imposed.
The Wright law penalty for re-
ceiving or purchasing liquor is equal
to the penalty for selling. A $50
fine is mandatory and a Jail SEN
tence is optional with the court.
Possession Of liquor, under the
Wright law, constitutes a crime,
punishable with 500 to $500 fine
for first offense and a sentence of
from one to six months in Jail. The
third offense is q felony, punishable
with a one to f1ve-year prison SEN

sion of intoxicating liquor was not
punishable, State Supreme Court
having ruled that portion of the old
law unconstitutional.
The Wright law grants courts
broader powers in the abatement of
