YOURS only half a yard! Really
the well-bred person does not eat
candy in public place like a

candy has been reposing? And
the chocolate always smells so

 Under the changed conditions in the Territory this proposed date will work no hardship on any mem Der or the legislature. | The senate amended the Steel education bill creating schools of two classes; the first with less than d50 pupils and the second over that number. The first to receive 85 per cent and the second 75 per cent. It is estimated this will in crease the biennial school costs approximately $75O0O

 PARIS, March 21, P)-Ferdin- i. and Fcch, Marshal of France and z Tcommander-in- chief of the Allied forces during the world war, died at his home after lengthy illness at 12:50 D. m. yesterday eastern time.
 "The foremost strategist of the great war;" was Sir John French's characterization of Ferdinand Toch, Marshal of France.
 Crowned with an immortal glory ns the savior of civilization, the :onqueror of the Germans will go down in history as the military ;eade- who, with more than 1O,- 3CO,0OO soldiers under his com n'and, directed five battles at once and h"ought peace to a world de- solated by four years of indescriD- able terror and bloodshed.
 HUMBLEST OF MEN
 The victor of this modern Arms, ecddon was said by Marshal Joifre 10 be "one of the humblest of ,nen." "The brilliancy of his gen. ins was hailed turnout the world curing these historic days in 1918 when the Allied armies under his command drove the Germans out cf France The magnitude of his \ military operations was stupend- ! ous. He never would admit defeat. ' Nils memorable message to Jof re, the hero of the Marne, when tue overwhelming armies of von tlluck were sweeping on toward Paris on September 9, 1914 will ever remain a classic with all eoidiers.
