B0RAH MARKS
30 YEARS IN
SENATE
Vote Against League
Most Important,
Says Idahoan
(Copyright. 1897. by international
News Service)

Senator William E. Borah, the
"lone wolf" of Idaho, today COM
pleted 80 consecutive years in the
United States Senate. And he is
willing to serve 80 more.
Now in his sixth consecutive
term, Borah's senatorial service
began March 4, 1907. Since then.
he has participated in a thousand
legislative battleS-conteStS that
once rocked the nation. Five
times he saw these battles lead to
amendment of the Constitution.
It was income taxes in 1909; di.
rect election of Senators in 1912;
prohibition in 1917; woman suf'
frage in 1919; lame duck sessions
of Congress in 1882, and repeal OF
prohibition in 1888. He helped
write the income tax amendment,
led the battle for direct election OF
Senators, voted for prohibition,
woman suffrage and lame duck
amendments, but against prohi-
bition repeal.
One Of the highlghts was his
battle to nominate President Theo.
dore Roosevelt at the Republican
convention in Chicago in 1912, but
his refusal to join Teddy" in the
latter's bolt to a third party.
He voted for war in 1917.
In 1920, he helped to lead that
great Senate battle that kept Amer
lea from entering the League Of
Nations. In 1925, he was again
a leader ih the fight against Ameri-
can entry with reservations into

these rooms and also accessible
by a side entrance on the south is
the intermediate grade presided
over by Miss I. B. Mclaughlin.
On the second floor the grammar
grade Miss c. M. McComber,
teacher is installed in the east
room, while Principal Hubbard's
department occupies the south
west room. The vacant room OPP
posite will be convenient for a
classroom at present and will al
low for the expansion of the
school hereafter.
The important problem of heat
ing and ventilating the rooms
have been solved by the Fuller
and Warren company, the con-
tractors for the furnace system.
Four furnaces in all are grouped
near the center of the building
and by system of cold and foul
air drafts, each room is supplied
with fresh air heated to the tenn
perature desired on scientific
principles. In the basement the
janitor, Edward Gillespie, is the
presiding genius. We might add
that the danger from fire is ap-
parently guarded against at all
points and that the building could
be emptied in a twinkling in case
of an alarm.
The members of the village
board of education have had no
play spell in the responsible over
sight of the work on the building
just completed. Mr.. Herriott Of
the old board was the leading
spirit in the work and the new
school building will help to keep
his memory green during his alb
sence. The board is now organ
lied as follows: H. N. Bell, pre-
sident, S. j. Race, clerk, w. D.
Finn, treasurer, with Charles
Wiltshire, w. P. Huntington and
j. H. Bowers.

For several weeks past an en-

things are in readiness.

LIGHTING EFFECTS NOT
DUPLICATED EVEN IN
BEST THEATRES

Lighting adjustment features of
the new auditorium gymnasium
are not duplicated, even in the
larger theatres in this territory.
A control panel at the edge OF
the stage-type- gymnasium swift
ches on all lights, any OF which
may be adjusted to any intensity
desired.
The elaborate ceiling light fix
lures in the auditorium may be
dimmed by degrees and set at any
intensity. The same is true of the
footlights which fold into the
stage floor when not in use and
of the lights at the top of the
stage. These are red, white and
blue in color and any or all OF
them may be dimmed or shut off
entirely by separate switches.
School authorities say the sy-
stem is unique to this school.
They are also proud of the fact
that the beautiful new stage
curtains of burgundy and gold
do not contain the legend "R. F.
H. S."
'PeopIe should know where
they are when they are in the
auditorium they explained in
stating that they have not fol-
lowed the usual trend in using
high school letters for the cur

usual initials.
Curtains at the ends of the

Bob Whyte Starts
Thirty-Third Year
as School JanitOr

Bob Whyte" who will begin
his thirty-third year as high
school janitor November Is has a
special suite of his own in the
new high school building.
1t is located in the basement
and includes sunny main room
which he uses as work shop, a
private lavatory and private
shower bath.
Whyte began work as janitor
when he prepared the former high
school for occupancy in 1905. He
had it already for classes the week
before Christmas vacation of that
year and worked there until the
fire which destroyed it in 1886.
Last year he was employed In
the Lincoln school and this year
took over his duties in the new
building.
Robert Parker, chief Lincoln
school janitor, has been there
since 1926, two years after it was
built. He and his assistant, Rich
ard Jueneman, have their quart
ers in the Lincoln building.

neighbor were to visit us, we
should take pardonable local
pride in showing him through a
school building beautiful without
and within, spacious and we'll
lighted, where teachers and chill
dren live in an air more pure and
temperature more pleasant even
on the coolest days of this cold
winter than most of them realize
in their own homes. If Mr.. Whit
ney should rewrite his impress
sions of Redwood Falls after such
an inspection, with the same sin
cerity as before he would very
likely pronounce our school
building and its corps of instruc-
tors the equals of those of most
cities of four times the population
of Redwood Falls.
Just how this sudden change
from the rickety old makeshifts
of last week to a well-appointed
school building was brought
about, involve more history ard
more space than these columns
have room for. Before a new
school building was talked of
there was grumbling enough and
teachers were obliged to dismiss
their classes from sheer inability
to keep out the cold or in the
spring freshets to again have holi-
days u-til our educational arts
emerged from the floods; Lets
wait till we can have a good
one," was the accepted formula
for shutting off all suggestions for
a new school building. So we
waited until the M and st. L.
railroad furore of 1881 and 1882
overwhelmed a scheme for voting
$4,000 school bonds. Again the
proposition was submitted to a
vote January %, 1883 and was
triumphantly carried through
These bonds were issued under a
special act of the legislature.
OF the plans for the proposed
building submitted to the board
of education, that of D. w. Mill
ard, st. Paul, was chosen. 1t was
modified in some points after
wards at the request of the board
Before it was completed, how
ever, the village was called upon
to vote $4,000 additional bonds
July IA of last year and again in
October, $1,000 more, making the
total amount voted $16,50O. A
member of the board places the
actual cost of the building al
about $l6,500 exclusive of furni-
ture. 7at

KnOlU Your IUy, Doctors
Counsel J/acatiOnists.

Among the common vacation perils
which a little watcl1fulness and ar
elementary knowledge of plants will
usually avoid is ivy poisoning.
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical Associations Committee on
Public Health Education advise this
years picnickers, tourists and every
body else who gets off the pavements
in the summer time to brush up on
their botany first and identify the
three leaved plant that is capable of
causing so much discomfort.
The plant is distinctive with its three
leaves growing each from single stalk
and once learned is never forgotten.
If you have the misfortune to rub
against it anyway, the doctors counsel
the following procedure:
Wash the part that touched it
thoroughly and Immediately with good
strong soap and water. The poisoning
comes from the oil that covers the sur
face of the plant and the best way to
get rid of oil is to wash quickly with
soap and water. Care should be taken,
of course, not to injure the skin and
thus rub the oil in, instead of re-
moving it. An application of gasoline
after the washing has been found eff
fective to ward off inflammation if it
is applied Immediately.
If the poisoning actually develops,
then expert treatment is usually neces-
sary.
Brash woodsmen who are under the
impression that they are immune to
ivy poisoning should be warned. Ex-
periments have shown that nobody is
immune if the contact with the ivy oil
is sufficient.
