If nc are not. goingTto provide ade-

as well to let things stand as they
now are, for it would be only a very.
few. years more before we would be

cent of the cost of a the project.
I Henderson. people should not be so
materialistic that they would permit
the emasculation. of the city schools.
The children in Henderson are just
as good and just as deserving as those
in other communities, and Henderson
is just as able to provide properly for
them as other. communities are for
their children. If we had not for so
long been so mrserly with our schools
and allowed them to become choked
and congested as they now are, we
would not be faced today with the
emergency that exists and the needs
now would not be so great. But the
time has come when we must make
up for our negligence in the pasI.
Certainly we are not as we'll of as we

whether we shall build and how much.
When that has been settled, it. will be
time enough. to, quarrel over the loca-.
ton. That the location is influencing
the attitude of lot of people on the.
first question ought to be evident to
those who, have listened to discus
sions.- It would seem that real estate
promoters could at least wait to get

Tor just moment, they will have
abundant opportunity to be heard.
Moreover, the tragic waste of money
in the old Goose. Hollow land pur-
chase ought not to be lost sight of.
A site was bought there on, the in
sistence of some interests and later
had to be abandoned in the face of a
revulsion; of public opinion over the
prospective location of a school. We
shall do well to avoid a recurrence of
that situation now. a..
Meanwhile, let every one hold his
head weigh. the issue with an, open
mind and without prejudice this way

CHAPTER A

CHAPTER ~
WHILE THE other passengers of
the Loganthan retired in various
excited groups and discussed this
amazing development of holiday
cruise. Stuart and Lizetta secluded
themselves in the captains Office
with Pedro and the police chief. No
one seemed to be concerned about
the passengers losses, so their only
satisfaction was to talk among them
selves and conjecture what i was
all about. =.
Lizetta was surprised to finA Pedro
restored to his former calm w1 as
he had not been the few times she
had seen him since his arrest several
weeks before. He was no longer be-
Wildered or timorous or agitated.. He
seemed to have himself and the sit1sA-
ton more completely in hand thAM

HOW NOT TO GET A
NEW SCHOOL

The best way not to get a new high
school in Henderson is for the COM
munity to separate itself into factions,
no matter what the basis may. be for
the differences of opinion or of pur-
pose. Last nights public meeting at
the court house indicated considerable
division on the part of those who
were heard from.
1t was encouraging, however, to
those favoring more adequate school
facilities here to see that every one
who spoke was for a new high school
of some sort. The question resolves
itself, then, into a matter of how big
1t shall be and the extent to which
we shall build for both the present
and the future.
Perhaps it is we'll enough to esti-
mate the cost to property owners of
the program that was presented to
the meeting by the school boards
city and county-in the regular for
NAL manner of procedure, since that
ds the thing that is now "before the
house" for consideration. IL
The project calls for an expenditure
of $335000. Deducting the thirty per-
cent which the government will give
as an outright contribution, slightly
less than $250,000 is left for which
the county would oblgate itself. The
present 1888 property Vakiation of
the ;e9anty is slightly undsr +$l6. 600 :
OOG; after the revaluation that was
carried through this year But; in or
der to- get, down to even figures and
he within the actual values, suppose
az be reckoned OH the conservative
basis of $15OO0,0OO. A one-cent levy
on that valuation would yield $1,50O.
The interest on $25OOO0 at four per-
cent interest would be $4,000 a year.
A levy of seven cents would produce
$N5OO. II should be remembered that
this is merely tho carrying charges.
Whatever amounts would be paid an
nualy In retirement of the obligation
would have to be added to that at the
rate of one cent for each 81 1900 repaid.
But the government if we understand
the proposition correctly, permits a
borrower to pay only interest charges
for the first five years, if that is de-
sired. BY the end of five years we
should have recovered sufficiently
from the depression to enable us to
carry the obligation without strain. If
our backs are still bent and break.
ing under the stress of the economic
load-well, what difference does 1t
make, anyhow? That, of course. is not
the way to look at it, but it is perhaps
logic at that.
Some of the opposition talk at the
Tuesday night meeting expressed a
Willingness to go as high as $15OOOO
for a high school. And if they are
ready to go that far, why not go lust
$4,000 more and get the high school
the school authorities have proposed
For actual bonds that would be issued
for the high school project alone
would be only 100000, since $S4 500 OF
the $25O,O00 which will be obligated fol
will go into new school at North
Henderson and $4,000 for additions
at South Henderson. Surely, these
modest argufiers would not under
take to say that the three project!

 To Address Session
May Touch on Relation of Charity to NRA - Senator
 Wagner and Postmaster Farley Heard Last Night

New Lork, Oct {. (UP)-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt will address the National Conference of Catholic Charities tonight.
 While the subject of his address was not disclosed 1t was believed 1t would touch upon the relation of charity to the National Recov- cry program.
 Approximately 5000 conference delegates heard the recovery move- ment termed Ian economic and a moral crusade" by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York. Post master General James A. Farley also spoke before the meeting last night, outlining the history and ac- complishments of the recovery campaign.
 "Co-operation is the keynote of our economic reconstruction, !" Wagner said. "Genuine charity must be the keynote of our moral regeneration. Unless we have both the program must fail"
 Strife in modern life, the Senator charged, has been a degrading factor in that 1t built up a scale of values which has directed hu- man will power and brains "to- ward plumber rather than social service"
 "Co-operation is now more than an economic necessity; it Is a moral mandate" he said. Eco homie liberty should not be de- stroyed but 1t should be modified to meet social needs"
