ASKOv SCHOOL COLUMN

Anna N. Rasmussen. Alice
Clausen and Alta Clausen took
up school work this week.
The new library books have
have been ordered and should ar
rive at the schoolhouse in few
days.
Miss Ingrid Fenger had charge
Of the sixth grade Monday fore
noon; Miss Larsen missed train
connections so she could not get
back in time.
A new Singer sewing machine
has been added to the Domestic
Science department. The girls in
the Home Economies classes seem
quite enthusiastic over their
work. and not least the seventh
grade girls.
The report cards for the first
month were given out this week.
The marks are the teachers es-
innate Of the work done the first
month. In some cases the marks
given may be too low; in others
too high. The following marks
should be more correct as the pu-
pill and teacher become better ac-
quainted.
Last Saturday at Hinckley was
held the first of a series of meet
ings of the school heads of the
county. Several topics pertain
ing TO the various schools of the
county were under discussion. II
was decided to arrange for anoth-
err county spelling contest and
athletic meet some time next
spring. The contest will be open
to all pupils who did not COM
plete the eighth up till June l,
1925. Now is the time for the
pupils to begin to prepare for
the contest. Askov was success
full in securing one Of the two
first positions; this record ought
to be kept up. Come, on, spoilers,
shall we win next spring?
A few changes have been made
by the film exchanges in the
school movie program. Follow

instrumental in this condition:
the rainy weather last week
which hindered the potato dig
ging, illness on the part Of the
children, and fear of infantile
paralysis. Since the weather did
not permit potato harvesting last
week nothing can be said about
children working in the potato
field at home; sending the chill
dren out to pick potatoes
for wages is an entirely diff
ferent question however. Of
course, a child should re-
main at home when i'll. The
fear OF infantile paralysis is nat
ural but it should be consistent.
Medical science knows but very
little concerning the germ or bac-
terra causing the disease, hence it
is difficult to learn anything def
mite. A number of deductions
have been made from observing
Che disease but some of these fail
to hold in many cases. However.
a few things are known. The
symptoms are similar to those of
several others; the subject has
a fever for some days and is more
or less ~. 1t is not till the
paralysis appears that it can be
distinguished from other diseas-
es. The prevailing opinion seems
to be that it is not contagious
but it is infectious, in that case
one person does not catch it from
another. Some medical men
maintain the germ is carried in
dust and the disease is more pre-
valent during dry weather and
during the late summer and early
fall months. Hence it seems cold
weather lessons the danger of
catching the disease. In some
cases regular and continued mas
sage Of the affected member
seems to have helped. The state
board of health regulations do not
provide quarantine of the family,
only placard, posted, warning
others of the disease; however,
in some places the local authori-
ties maintain a quarantine for
week or ten days. But very
few places are schools closed. In
order to be consistent, people
who fear to send their children
to school should keep themselves
and the children away from ali
public gatherings and not per-
NIT birthday parties or other pri-
vate gatherings.

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T

My father says the paper that he
reads amt put up right,
He finds lot of fault. he does, per-
using 1t at night;
He says there amt single thing in
Il worth while to read
And that it doesn't print the kind Of
stuff that people need.
He losses IT aside and says it's strict
ly ION the bum"
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all get out;
He reads the social doin's with the
most derisive shout;
He says they make the paper for the
women folk alone.
He'll read about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and groan.
He says OF information II don't con-
tain a crumb-
But you ought to hear him boiler
when the paper doesn't come.
He's always first to grab 1t and he
reads II plumb clear through;
He doesn't miss an item or a want ad
that Is true;
He says They don't know what we
want. them durn newspaper guys.
I'm going to take a day some time
and go and put them WISE"

Let us quote you on your want

1t hurts our feeling whenever we

North of &c." tale of for
gotten Texas cattle trail, adapted
from Emerson Hough's Saturday
Evening Post serial and novel,
comes here Friday, Oct. 9, with
Lois Wilson, Jack Holt, Ernest
Terrence and Noah Berry. The
picture opens in Texas directly
after the Civil War. During the
war the longhorn cattle have
run practically wild on the
ranges and multiplied. One of
the largest ranches is owned by
Taisie Lockhart Lois Wilson,,
rich in land and cattle but poor
in actual money. When things
look hopeless financially Dan Nc
Masters Jack Holt), an old fam
lily friend, announces a railroad
has been built to Abilene Kansas
and herd can be driven there
and marketed at an enormous
profit. Despite the protests of
the foreman, Jim Nabours, (Er-
nest Torrence) Taisie starts out.
McMasters offers to accompany
her. Sim Rudabaugh Noah
Berry, outlaw, state treasurer,
schemer, foresees a future cattle
market and schemes to buy cat
tie and land, also Taisie's ranch.
On the morning of the start a
trunk, stolen from TASTES room,
is found in McMaster's wagon; he
must leave the outfit. The drivers
push on with Rudabaugh in pur-
suit; later his men stampede the
herd. The Comanches are bad
enemies. At last Abilene looms
in sight;an eastern buyer purchas-
es the herd: Rudabaugh, arriving
under the celebration, attempts
to steal Taisie's trunk; he is foiled
by McMaster, taken into custody
and turned over to the Indians.
McMasters silent, uncommunica-
tive, a puzzle, marries Taisie and
they start back to Texas to-
gether.

Great Wall of China
Longer Than Supposed

1t is one of the Seven Wonders of
the World, medieval Europe wrote
poems about 1t, and the Great Lexicog-
rapher, friend to Miss Pinkham In
the days before Becky Sharp threw
the dictionary told a certain Scotch
writer to the signet that it was worth
visit. Chinese poetry and legend is
full Of the names Of Kia-ju-kwan and
Shan-hai-kwan-much as we speak OF
Dan and Beersheba. But few are the
eastern Chinese who have reached the
western end-polItical exiles, for the
most part, fleeing from poison or the
silken cord at Picking.
1t fell to Sir Aurel Stein of the
British museum to put an end to the
myth Of Kia-ju-kwan by finding hun
dreds Of miles Of wall beyond 1t In
the desert, older and more romantic
still, built of bundles Of reeds and pop
lar branches anchored to driven posts.
But, important as his discoveries are,
barely a score Of Chinese know Of
them yet, and hence they have not
robbed Kia-ju-kwan Of its unique
place in Chinese lore.-Langdon War
