PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
The State Department of Education
A. =. CUSTAFSON, County Supt.

The State Department of Education
sent us only Is attendance record
books. The department is short OF
funds for printing. If our rural teach
ers cannot wait for new supply,
they will have to order direct from
the st. Paul Book & Stationery Co.,
at 4Oc each. See page 100, new cata-
logue.
Other general (teachers') supplies
were delivered to all but four of our
teachers last week. Most of them
called at our office. All rural schools
are now in session except %, 48 and
90. Seven of our young men teach
ers and four of our young ladies, now
teaching our rural schools, are mar
ried. This summer, many of our
teachers attended schools and most
of the others followed other occupa-
tions, such as farm work, carpenter
work, clerical work, craftsmanship,
restaurant work, etc. Betty Currie
(8O) is one of our very efficient teach
ers who can also drive team or a
tractor and operate most any farm
machinery. Furthermore, she does
these things we'll and likes it. Every
teacher seems to be ready and ex-
tremely interested in the school job
ahead.
Schools Visited.
The following 26 schools were visit
ed by your county superintendent this
past week: l, 4, 8, Is, Is, 80, "a, 38, 80,
SO, 60, SO, 70, 80, IS, 80, 90, SO, "a,
100, 1O2, 1O4, Ill, 112, III and 1873.
Teachers of IL other schools were
also contacted in their teaching fields.
Most schools indicate very good sup
plies and other teaching tools. This
is good economy. Most schools have
also made necessary repairs and i'm
provements. District 102 has new
porch. District 81 has new indoor
toilet equipment.
Display the Flag.
Four schools, 80, SO, IS and 90 had
our large flag waving on suitable
flag pole out of doors. Practically
all the other schools had our small
flag on the wall indoors. The latter
is required by law. The former is
also suggested and recommended but
not required by law. The boys in
IS look after the raising of the flag
every morning. The flag, waving
in the breeze from our school flag
poles, is inspiring and encouraging.
Our flag really stands for true de-
mocracy, unoppressed freedom, social
security for all and economic Gas well
as politicaD justice for all. 1t stands
for the promotion of the general well
fare, domestic tranquility, justice and
common defense" as written in the
preamble of our great constitution.
So be it.
All rural teachers will please give
us their teaching addresses at once so
we can complete our mailing list.

SlGNPOSTS ALONG
THE WAY WE TRAVEL

1t used to be that California looked
aghast at Imperial Valley because OF
the stories radical agitators told Of
Interrupted mass meetings, Spontan-
eous public protest and general dis
trust here of the rights claimed by
the trouble makers.
1t used to be that coast newspapers
would display in black headlines the
news that some two-bit MoScow-vite
had asked police protection at valley
meeting where he was scheduled to
talk, and at which he claimed to fear
"vgliante action.
1t used to be that most of the state
frowned ON Imperial Valley, chiding
us for our red-baiting and ridiculing
US for our "childish fear of imaginary
bugabOOS.'
you people down there are silly"
they said in Los Angeles and San
Francisco and Sacramento. After all,
what harm can these fellows do?
You'd be smarter not to pay any at
tention to them. That's the way we do.
Well, times to change-and view
points, too.
They're realizing in Los Angeles
and San Francisco and sacramento
and all along the line-that they
should have seen q Signpost IN lmper-
ial Valley, instead Of an occasion Tor
ridicule.
Today they're putting up their own
signposts.
Not long ago, in Sacramento, Harry
Bridges was refused permission to talk
in a public building. A little later he
was excluded from civic groups
property in the San Francisco bay
area. Public evaporation with the
radical doctrines he teaches kept
growing. Now it is almost a foregone
conclusion that Bridges. the ClO, FL
lis f. Patterson, Tom Mooney, A. l..
Wirin, or any one of 4 score OF others
like them, will demand police protec-
ton wherever they speak.
If their doctrines are as popular as
they suppose, or if they're as demo-
cratic as they pretend to be, why
should they fear the wrath of the
people?
They're on the way out, the Bird
es-PatterSon-Wirin rabble rousers.
The signposts are up. The people are
getting tired Of the continuing turmoil
they stir up. Their brief popularity,
never anything but fad among people
too busy to realize their true purpose,
has waned.
Imperial Valley deserves a bit Of the
credit-as a pioneer if for no other
reason.

EYES ACROSS
THE ADRIATIC
(Christian Science Monitor)

The Adriatic has never been quite
wide enough for Italian comfort. 1t eX-
poses a long Italian coastline to attack
from the Dalmatian coast, now held by
1ugoslavia, which would hardly attack
II Duce's Italy, but which one day may
not be able to hold it against the new
tide of Pan Germanism. The historic
drive of Germany toward the Adriatc
helped to make up Italys mind in 1915,
and the treaty of London of that year
brought Italy into the World War on
the Allied side.
Among the promises of that secret
document was one providing for ces-
sion of the Dalmatian coast to Italy.
And Italy might have had it but for
one big unforeseen development. This
was the entry of the United States into
the war. President Wilson took the
idea of Self-determination seriously
enough to prevent the handing over
of Yugoslavia to Italian rule But Italy
apparently has not ceased to covet that
narrow strip of territory, possoibly be-
cause some military experts consider
the Dalmatian coast superior Strateg
ically to ltaly'S own coast across the
narrow sea.
Now there is talk of the Dalmatian
coast again. Once more it seems to be
on the auction block. But this time the
auctioneer is in Berlin. Dalmatia is one
of the prizes that Italy may look for
ward to winning if Premier Mussolini
helps Reichsfuhrer Hitler to victory
50 the reports run. But in the dog-cat
dog world Of sheer force can Il middle
sized dog forget that when he has
dined ON a little dog there is still a big
dog intending to dine on both? Ger
many was too near the Adriatic for
Italian comfort in 1924. How must
Italians feel now that the Third
Reich's conquest of Austria has
brought greater Germany within
sixty miles of Trieste?

HOW

BY ALICE II. SMITH
NutritiOnist, Cleveland Health
COuncil

Grandma was right about that
spring tonic, except that you don't
need to make it sulphur and mo-
laSSes. Good food is enough-the
year around
The chief virtue of grandmas re-
medy was the iron it offered. That
same iron is available in greens.
both wild and cultivated, of which
there are plenty now that sunny
days are back.
And there's other food with gen.
erous amounts of iron: eggyolks,
whole grain cereals bread. liver
mot necessarily calves liver)
Weight for weight, both beef and
pork liver contain more iron than
calves liver.
Dried fruits offer iron. too-apri-
cots, peaches. prunes, raisins. So do
dried vegetables and nuts. partic-
ularly peanuts.
SO you can have your tonic and
like it too. The iron needn't be as
tough as it sounds Try daily food
grouping something like the follow
ing to be sure of your iron supply:
Group l. Peanut butter sandwich
made with whole wheat bread. fresh
preen vegetables. cooked or raw
stewed prunes and apricots, por-
ton OF liver and onions.
Group 2. Baked beans and brown
bread tossed green salad, scrambled
eggs and whole wheat toast.
Everyone needs iron to maintain
good health. The food suggested
here will supply that--for the or
dinary case. There are types with
anemia who need an extra supply
of iron. These persons should con-
suit a physician.
The body, Of course, demands
other vital food constituents aside
from iron. The foods listed here will
supply those.
Nature seems to have anticipated
all the food wants of man. AT any
rate everything the body needs to
keep fit is supplied in the worlds
food. Eat the right things the year
round and you will have had all
the tonic YOU need

TOO MUCH CAUTION

Regardless of the final end of Eur

paign will most likely be written into
the history books as one of the worlds
greatest military mistakes. Not for
what England did, but for what Eng
land did not do.
To save yen by admitting defeat
early rather than late, the Allies pull
ed out of Central Norway. Probably
there 1as no mistake there. The mis-
take came earlier-far earlier. 1t was
made, in fact, before German troops
landed in Norway.
1t was made when Britain first
learned through secret service agents
as she now admits she did learn
that Germany was planning the Nor
wegian coup. 1t was made when Brit
ain did not notify Norway of what she
had learned, did not prepare to beat

INVENTIONS OF DEATH
Sacramento UniOn)

An American inventor has perfected
a device to guide aerial bombs to their
targets from great distances.
Adolf Hitler claims to have a mys-
terious weapon which will spike the
guns of the enemy and prevent them
from being fired.
Other new means of exterminating
lives in order to achieve victory in
battle have been perfected in recent
years and are in use in the European
conflict.
Man seems to be adroit at working
out means of destroying other people,
but as yet no one has invented way
to achieve and to maintain peace be-
tween nations.
President Wilson tried to establish
a league of nations to keep nations
from fighting each other, but the plan
was repudiated by his own people.
Others have tried to enlarge on the
Wilson scheme without success. AL
though America went into the Euro
pean war in 1917 in an effort to pre-
vent future wars, another major con-
flict is now being waged.
Engines or destruction aren't what
the world needs. Too many of them eX
ist now. Peace is wanted and to whom
ever brings it about will be erected the
largest monument yet known to man.
