following subjects: mathematics, che
mistry, physics, social science, Ger
man, Russian grammar and litera-
ture natural science, drawing and
painting, music and physical culture.
Our school has an uninterrupted
week. That means that we go to
school for four days and are free on
the fifth, but various classes are free
on different days. In addition to
study, we carry on social work in the
school and are members o voluntary
societies such as LID (the Interna-
tional Society for Labor Defence) +,
the MAS militant Atheist Society,
the CTS (Children'S Friend Society,
etc.
Free Meals
The social fascists are spreading
the lies that we are dying of starva-
ton. This is not true, of course. On
the contrary, all the children receive
hot meals at school, and if their pa
rents have low wages, they get them
free of charge. School children are
given boots, clothing and school
books.
In addition to school work, we

FRANCE HOLDS
KEY TO EUROPE'S
ARMS DECISION
Attitude of Other Powers
Ringing on Stand of
Republic.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
United Press Financial Editor

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Secre-
tary Of State Henry L. Stimson will
return from Europe this week with
his portfolio fairly bursting with
reports of heart to heart talks with
old world statesmen.
Mum as the sphinx thus far as
to the precise nature of these con-
versations, it is known that the 1892
arms conference was the principal
topic discussed. Among other things
he will report to President Herbert
Hoover.
First, that in European opinion
the coming parley is regarded as
the most vital world gathering since
the making of the treaty Of Yer
sailles.
Second, that it is believed that
upon its success or failure the
future of world peace will depend.
Third, that the rehabilitation of
Europe is contingent upon such
success.
Success in Great Doubt
Fourth, that success is in grave
doubt owing to political unrest and
strong nationalistic movements in
certain countries.
Fifth, that the key to success Is
mostly in the hands of three ma
tions, namely France, Germany and
the United States.
France is key-country number
one. What she eventually decides to
do will make or break the fateful
meeting. Her final decision will de-
eide whether Europe and the world
will go on arming until the newt
able, bloody crash, or whether 1t is
to be gradual disarmament and
peace.
Germany and the United States
are the key nations numbers two
and three. It is their attitude which
will largely shape the momentous
decision of France.
Germany Is Feared
Rightly or wrongly, France is
mortally afraid that Germany fully
intends to smash her way to Paris
as soon as the exigencies Of the sit
uation permit.
AS France views it there are just
two ways in which this can be pre-
vented. One is by world peace or
ganization able to make would-be
aggressors stay put. The other is
by building up her own system Of
national defense.
Two things, therefore, will have to
be accomplished at Geneva next
February if there is to be any arms
reduction. First, France and Ger
many must be brought together in
some sort of understanding and,
second, the present altogether vague
and impractical anti-war machin-
cry will have to be improved.

Armistice Day was observed in the
Plentywood schools by appropriate
programs in all the Grade and in the
High School. The programs were
chiefly planned by the pupils them
selves. We are sorry that our new au-
ditorium was not ready so that a fine
joint program could have been en-
joyed by the parents of the commun-
ity.
During the past week a Point Sys-
tenn has been introduced into the high
school in connection with the extra
curricular activities of the student
body. The chief aims of the plan is to
enable us to give appropriate recog-
milton for all activities and to ncour
age as many a possible to enjoy the
benefits of the educational and social
training that such activities afford.
Through a limitation plan we shall
try to control the participation of each
pupil so that he or she does not en-
dulge to the extent that their class
work will suffer. We are quite certain
that scholarship will be generally I'M

s.. Faces
Need For a
Value Policy
Act is One Proof Too Much
Land is Being EARNED
In United States

Chicago, Nov. Ia (AP)
After $50 years without a formu-
lated land policy the United
States abruptly faces. the need
for a program to protect the &C.
On0mic and social values Of its
900, 600, 900 acres in farms.
To this end Secretary Hyde of the
department of agriculture and the as
ISOLATION of land grant colleges and
universities have called the first land
grant utilization conference in hist
DRY into session here November 10 to
81.
States have studied the subject but
never before has the national gov
eminent moved so broadly to regulate
the use of public and private domain.
From colonial days it has been as
sumed that all cultivable land was des-
tined to be used to produce food and
fiber and that the sooner it could be
put to that purpose the better.
The conference is a frank refuta-
tion of that theory, an open admission
that too much land is being cultivated
and a signal that farms not paying
the cost of production must be retired
if relief for agriculture is to be effec-
tive. The conferences recommended
items are expected to form the base
of state and national legislation, to
remedy overproduction, %maladjust-
ment of crops, tax delinquency and
farm abandonment.
Secretary Hyde says the way has
been pointed to by certain Of the New
England and Great Lakes States.
Wisconsin has a law enabling
counties to take over tax delinquent
lands and make forests out of them.
New York is spending $4,000, 900 a
year to reforest waste lands. Of the
10000, 900 acres in New York %, OOO.-
900 at time was in farms. There
now is only $4,000, 900 which means
that 1000 900 acres have been retir-
ed. Governor Roosevelt says 90 per-
cent Of the remainder should be turn
ed into permanent forests and past
ures.

dents of the different organizations
will meet with the Superintendent to

The Seventh Grade Art Glass has
made Photograph Albums recently, in
the school colors. The Class is now
making glorified glass pictures in
monochromatic colors.
The Eighth Grade Civics classes
are being conducted as socialized re-
citations every Wednesday of this
six weeks period. The topic on which
these discussions are based are the
character essentials which are graded
on the new report cards. The object
is to become better citizens of our
room, school, home and community.
The first two discussions have been
led by the Home Room presidents.
For the remaining discussions we are
going to elect different leaders for
each day.

gar beet growing in the Muddy

The first n to throw his hat into
the sugar beet game was Fred
Morck and his renter on the former

that farm next spring. His renter is
an experienced sugar beet farmer and
will do all he can to further the pro-

There is no doubt but that many
farmers up and down the Muddy val

Tuesday evening we received a very

in to the house and make a mess of
things. 1t is along time since we had
a real snow storm and it will be quite
a treat for the kids to use their sleds
after a two years rest in the storage
room, but it will require a much
heavier snow fall than the one that
came Tuesday night.
