THE HIGH SCHOOL

What appears to be regretable delay in building the
Peasanve high school may after all result in finally
determining question raised by DIRECTORS who wish 1t
known that they are conscientious say the least
The question raised that of the right of the author
tiles Indebtedness OF six cent OF
the assessed valuation for bond issue question OF law
and there be laws the books One OF these
laws places the limit of debt nine per cent and this the
law under which the Board of Education has been proceed
ing.
1t does not that the issue will remain long IN
doubt The delay not improving the results which should
be obtained behalf of the school attendance OF the CITY,
AS has been pointed these columns there is pressing
need of school space.
That there is need of school space is not denied
even by those who have asked the State Department OF
Education review the proceedings and the bonding ua
ton in the City of Peasanville.
Everyone is agreed that the city needs a new school,
IF the bonding of the city for the school has to go TO
referendum we feel confident that the delay will only make
the eager for the opportunity to vote yes ana
beyond question of doubt the plan Tor the new
Pleasantvie high school.
In the meantime no should confuse the high
school project with politics. The high school project Is
wholly educational.

HOW DO YOU WORK?
~ GROVE PATTERSON

F1OW W wv WonNf
A lot of men pride themselves on
the great amuont of work they do.
They pride themselves on how busy
they are. 1t is not always, in fact
not usually, matter for pride. No
man in really big JOB should use
his time doing anything that some
body else can do just as well. He
should save his energy for direc-
ton and for doing those things
that he is convinced nobody can
do as well. Some of the most
successful business executives give
attention to details-but they are
the details which nobody else can
handle quite so well. Learn to
farm out" the work that others
can do as well as you, and you will
have more time for the important
tasks.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-11-25

The reason that SO many of US
are forever crying that we haven't
time for this or time for that is
that we are giving SO many hours
to thinking about our rights and
privileges that we haven't any
time left for our duties. The biggest
nuisance in the human pathway is
the man who is always prating
about his rights" He tells his
story in every ear--to BARRIERS and
walters, to bankers and preachers.
He also tells it to newspaper men.
Some folk are obsessed with the
ideas of their rights or their lack
of rights. AS matter of fact
everyone of us has all the rights
he is intelligent enough to use.

COURT CRITICIzES
GOVERNMENT ACTION
Says Privately Owned Land Can
not Be Taken Unless Re-
turn Is Given.

The District Court Of Appeals yes.
terday criticized the Department of
the Interior for holding on to land
in California decided to the United
States by C. w. Clarke in 1899 as
Il basis of exchange for forest reserve
land for other property which it de-
clined to transfer in the absence OF
additional affidavit of its non-mineral
character Justice Van Orsdel in
rendering the opinion of the court
said. ''The action of the department
in this case is indefensible. 1t is
here attempting to divest citizen OF
his privately owned lands without
giving in return any compensation
whatever. 1t is too elementary for
discussion that this cannot be ac-
complished either by act of Congress,
or by any regulation of the depart
ment, or by both combined"
Clarke's application for lieu land"
was denied when he refused to make
second affidavit as to it's non-mineral
character after the suspicion of the
Government had been aroused that
there was oil on the selected land.
Clarke and his wife then conveyed the
land to Rembrandt N. Peale, who
brought suit in the District Supreme
Court for the mandatory injunction
against Dwight f. Davis, Secretary of
War; Hubert Work, Secretary of the
Interior. and William NJ. Jardine. Sec
retary of Agriculture, comprising the
Federal Power Commission, to revoke
a permit and license to the San Juan
Light and Power Corporation for
power rights on the land. The Dis
trict Supreme Court denied the in
junction and an appeal was noted.
Since a color of title has been vested
by the deed, declares Justice Van
Orsdel, In the United States and the
Power Co. holds its permit and license
under that color of title, the United
States must be divested of title before
action can be taken to remove the
cloud placed upon it by the action of
the Power Commission.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 H9-EXtrcmely
active trading in corn and much high
er prices today accompanied a fore
cast of frost tonight over Nebraska,
the Dakotas and Minnesota. 1t was
pointed out also that the corn market
of late had undergone break Of 20
cents q pushed and that corn is now
on a profitable feeding basis compar-
ed with the value of hogs.
Closing quotations on corn today
were unsettled, cents to Al cents

and provisions varying from 25 cents
decline to a gain of cents.
Big spectators we're among the

there was also a general rush to pur-
chase. Meanwhile, a scarcity of Of
ferings rapidly developed, about the
only sellers being owners who were in
position to realize profits Anxiety
regarding likelihood of damage from
frost and perhaps also by the abrupt
reversal of weather conditions from
excessive heat to widespread unseason-
able cold was evident in particular on
the part of corn traders who OF late
have been conspicuous on the selling
side Of the market. Besides frost pre-
dictions as we'll as a severe drop to-
day in temperatures throughout the
corn belt the corn market was affected

easiness over frost predictions in this
country, and to talk which was cur
rent even with favorable field con-
ditionS from now on, the amount OF
mcrchantable corn available this sea-
son would be low.
Wheat advanced with corn despite
the fact that the houses with north
west connections were persistent SELL
crs in the wheat market here. The
wheat advance, too, was in the face OF
an increase of 6, 5,421, 900 bushels for the
week in the United States visible sup
ply. On the other hand, the Liver
pool wheat market displayed unlocked
for relative strength. Assertions were
renewed that Canada estimates OF
wheat yields have been excessive and
there were drought complaints from
Argentina and Australia.
Oats as well as wheat reflected the
upward swing of corn values.
Provisions went lower as result of
scattered selling associated with weak
ness Of the cotton market.

market displayed startling reversal
in form today an early break which
carried many stocks down to nearly

recovery which practically wiped out
many of the losses, and converted a
few of them into moderate gains.
Final quotations were irregular, but
mostly lower, a long list of declines
ranging from fractions to 6 points in
the active issues being offset by a
sprinkling of gains running as high as

There was a heavy accumulation of
selling orders at the opening due to
the nervousness created by the sharp
break at the close on Saturday and
the unexpectedly large deficit in re-
serve shown in the clearing house
statement. Selling pressure increased
when banks called 100000 in loans,
and sent the call money rate up to
per cent. Owing to the rapidity of the
recent advance, several commission
houses expressed the opinion that the
