memory of President Roosevelt.
Early in May I received a long
distance call from Gregory Ratoff
an M-G-M director. He wanted to
see me on urgent business, he said
1 told him to come along. He came
to Washington and explained his
business. M-G-M was making the
picture, Song of Russia The pic
ture, M-G-M believed, would be
useful to the war effort, its useful
ness lying in the promotion of q
better understanding of the Russian
people.
This was at a time when our
Russian allies were taking terrific
punishment from the Germans and
many people were fearful that the
Russian defense might collapse.
For himself, Mr.. Ratof related, he
hated Communism but loved the
Russian people. That, I believe, is
the reputation he has had during
his many years residence in this
country. He is, I think, a White
Russian.
Films Purpose Discussed.
"The picture, he explained, was
designed to dramatic one of the
fine characteristics of the Russian
people-their love of music and
their genuine understanding and
appreciation of the art. The plot
involved the visit of world fam

poser to Russia and his experiences
there. That's where Mr.. Taylor
came in. The man who played that
part, Mr.. Ratoff said, must be a
musician; otherwise he wouldn't be
very convincing as a conductor Mr..
Taylor was musician; Mr.. Ratoff
said; he had studied at the Seattle
Conservatory of Music.
"But-and here was the rub-Mr.
Taylor was joining the Navy.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Candidates for any public office should have the bet
terment of that office as their first call. The two candi-
dates for the Independent School Ticket have Just such
a feeling toward the betterment of School District No. l.
They realize that both happy students and happy
teachers are necessary in order to promote better educa-
ton, and better education is becoming more and more an
essential. They realize that the students need a comfort
able building in which to study, as well as experienced
teachers.
Teachers must have some incentive in order to do their
best work. Both Independent candidates realize this and
will strive to do their best to give teachers some incentive
to improve their work.
Parent Teacher activities also should come within the
scope Of any trustees business, and both Dave Reese and
Ed Vawter have taken an active interest in such activities.
Through their activities in such organizations. they have a
full realization of the importance of lunch programs for
schools, as well as the many other programs that Parent
Teacher associations are trying to bring about.
1t takes a man with experience and understanding to
get teachers and students to cooperate together in school
and out of school, to get results from the public education
system, and both Independent candidates meet the above
stated qualifications. Both will do everything within their
power to place School District No. in the best possible
condition.

Tho purchasing value Of the dollar,
based on changes in the price index,
dropped g. per cent during the last
three months of 1916 to reach its low

June, 1920. In December. 1916. it
stood at Sl.ic as compared with 93.4c
in December. 1915.
Each of the &C L. S. cities included
in the survey showed an increase in
the index. Food prices showed the
sharrest advance, climbing 1873 per
cent during the last quarter of 1916.
Over the previous II months, food
Prices rose nearly 80 per cent, ac-
