to unusual circumstances. In such
cases Blue Eagles displayed bear q

NEWS OF SCHOOLS
LIMITED BY BOARD
TO BARE MINUTES
Resolution Opposed by Sanders
Passes 4 to l After
Discussion

By vote of four to one, school
board members decided Monday
night not to allow local publishers to
print anything in regard to school af-
fairs which does not appear in the
minutes of their meetings. To in
sure compliance with the action, the
board president then excused" the
Gazette reporter.
The minutes of the action read as
follows: Motion by Inglis, that the
minutes be copied and given to local
publishers if they want them, and any
other matters discussed by the board
not to be published unless authorized
by the board. Second by Backer.
Board voted as follows: yes-Inglis,
Mrs. Philbrick, Hillig, Backer. No
Sanders.
The action followed a discussion in
which Parker D. Sanders, who re-
Gently was elected to the board on a
platform which included a freedom
Of the press" plank, defended the
right of the newspapers to have a
representative at board meetings. He
contended that much of the criticism
to which the board has been sub
jected arose through its attitude to-
ward taxpayers and newspaper re-
representatives. and called attention to
the fact that minutes are brief and
that much Of news value never ap-
pears in them and further that school
meetings should be open to the pub
lie.
DR.. j. w. Inglis and Mrs. j. B.
Philbrick favored the action on the
ground that many things arise at
meetings which should not be print
ed. Mr.. Sanders expressed the opin-
ion that newspapers are fair and
reasonable in emitting publication of
facts that would be detrimental to
the best interest of the district.
The board also examined public
liability bonds which bus drivers are
now required to carry for the first
time. Individual students are pro-
tected to the extent of $4,000 and
groups of students in each bus are
protected to the extent of $150,0OO
for any one accident. To compensate
them for carrying this protection,
bus drivers wages have been increas-
ed from $50 to $65 per month. The
district is reimbursed by the state
for their salaries.
School children up to and including
the sixth grade will be admitted to
football games free this fall except
ing the Armistice day game with
Tracy which is covered by special
contract. The Lions club requested
this action and offered to. dispense
with its annual football and basketball
banquet and use the S25 thus saved
to make up any loss resulting to the
athletic department by the action.
The Lions offer was not accepted.
A resolution signed by nine Red
wood Falls firms was received and
placed on file. It stated that the sign
ers would appreciate an opportunity
to supply requirements of the school
where their prices are no greater
than like materials can be- purchased
elsewhere.
Salary of substitute teachers was
reduced from SIS and S. per day to
81 and S.. The board authorized pay
ing one-half of teachers salaries at
the end of the first two weeks Of school
and voted to pay janitors the balance
of their Aurust salaries. Bills to the
total of 2,134.78 were allowed.

100000 Regained

only the other day the
Italian salvage ship, Artiglio,
slipped into Plymouth harbor
in England with 100000 worth
of gold and silver bars, torn by
heroic efforts from the treas
ure room of the steamship
Egypt, lying on the ocean floor
off the coast of France.
A thrilling tale of the sea
and of the treasure hunters,
that saga of the recovery of
the Egypt's treasure of $4,000,
900 in gold bars and several
tons of silver. The old Allan
tic, with the aid of the Storm
King, fought savagely to keep
her golden hoard, and IA men
were killed before daring divers,
working deep down in the cold
darkness, by the eerie light of
electric torches, dynamited their
way to the treasure room and
blew it apart.
Divers have found the hulk
of the Ward Liner Merida
which lies partly buried in sand
and seaweed on the ocean floor
off Cape Charles, Virginia,
where she went down % years
ago. In the purSer's room of

make up his mind what he
would do if he were Secretary
of War. Chief of Staff, and
the entire General Staff with
regard to Army posts.
In the belief that the recon-
mendations of the War De-
partment that no more build
ing be done at Army posts
which are no longer active would
be approved by the President,
public sentiment indorSed this
policy. Of course the public ex-
pected that the needs Of the

by military authorities compe-
tent to have an intelligent
opinion would not only be con-
suited but followed.
It did not dawn upon the
public that Director of the

passed and one noble deed after
another has failed to produce
dividends-you've won d cred.
Does goodness really pay? Or
is this such an evil world that
only the ruthless and cruel have
a chance to survive?
Does goodness pay? That de-
pends on what you mean by
D"pay." If you mean that you'll
get promotion and bonus,
medals and sweet kisses, then
you might as we'll face the sad
fact right now that GOODNESS
DOESN'T PAY.
Neither in popularity nor cash

profitable. To the contrary, one
of the best ways to make your
self extremely unpopular and
have yourself ridiculed or
gypped is to be entirely honest.
brave, clean and generous. Nor
is the reason hard to find.
This is still an uncivilized
world. Most of us are still
wrestling with husky hang-overs
of savage greediness, cowardice,
dishonesty and vanity. We
don't admit this. Most of us
don't even realize it. But we
act on it. We have built for
ourselves a comfortable social
scheme which protects our
cowardice, condones our greedi-
ness. alibis our dishonesty and
cruelty.
Then along comes someone

our nice, snug hide-out! And

Yes, we do NOT!
Why do the wicked so fire.

That's why. Because the wicked

Selling Out Love

a perfectly good COW for hatful
of pretty beans, seems almost
like a financial genius beside
the average human being. At
least he got thrilling adven-
ture in exchange.
The things we do to kill love,
the mess we make of it, the
cheap trumpery for which we
barter it, must make angels
weep! And the devil laugh!
Fate hands us her priceless gift
and we toss, it around as
though it were a tinsel ball off
a Christmas tree.
Some of us make a GAME Of
love-just an amusing pastime
for our lighter moments. All our
SERIOUS thoughts are concen-
trated on money-making or So
cial climbing or keeping our
hips and weight down. Some
thing important" you know,
and worth while"
Others commercialize love
and think they've made a good
bargain when they trade 1t in
for an ermine coat and a few
square-cut diamonds. Or for a
trip to Europe or a limousine.

BIZ EdUin C.. HILL

An item in the news must
thrill the heart of anyone with
a spark of adventure and a
gleam of romance in his over
civilized soul. Out from the old
port of Sunderland, on the east
coast of England, sails little
cargo boat under sealed orders.
Her deck is heaped with fasci-
mating machinery and apparatus
diving bells and diving suits
and salvage gear of all kinds.
And all along the coast, which
has bred hardy seadogs ever
since the Red Haired Queen
sent Francis Drake out to whip
the Spanish Armada, goes the
word that the trim little ship
is going treasure hunting on the
bottom of he sea-to win the
five million that went down
when the Lusitania plunged to
her grave off the Old Head Of
Kinsale.
AS the English get ready to
send divers down to prowl
among the bones of the
drowned Lusitania, our own
Simon Lake, inventor of the
submarine, prepares to make a
try for the golden treasure in

go gold-hunting with an under

against the Lusitania's shatter-

for the strong box and the gold.
