The Union Graded School "The Liberty"
By Elbert Stoner •
Of late there has been much
talk of a union graded school for
the section around and includ-
ing Cashion. This plan is not
so goo 1 as a consolidated school,
but which, nevertheless, is far
better than the old system that
Cashion and the nearby districts
now have. When our present
system will have been considered
it will be found that no improve-
ment can be made that will get
more effective results than that
which the union graded or con-
solidated school will bring.
In the union graded school the
plan is to bring together in a
central school the seventh and
eighth grades, and in addition to
establish and maintain a full and
accredited high school. It this
school were put in Cashion this
district would have enough pu-
pils to build up well the first six
grades. This, then, would give
each school that is unionized, if
they saw fit, an opportunity to
transfer thei pnpils of the low-
er six grades to the central school
During the last fifteen years
the progress of our schools has
not been kept in harmony w-ith
the anvancement of othtr lines.
Better stock is being raised, most
every farmer has a telephone in
his home, an automobile to use
in place oi the team or horse
and buggy, roads have been
tly impryvecl and, in fact, most
everything on the farm is far
better. But what has happened
to the schools along with these
other things?
Present needs call lor schoo's
that are better equipped and
that are more efficient in edu-
cating the children. In every
school there ought to be equip-
ment for teaching most every
study. To illustrate, in the
study of physiology a good mi-
crascope is most essential aiong

Manager Stilwell opened his
new theatre, The Liberty, last
Friday evening, throwing the
doors open in his generous way.
On Saturday evening, though
the weather was threatening two
reels of the new serial'The Rail-
road Raiders" to a fairly good
house. This continued story is
one of the big hits of the Mutual
Film Corporation featuring Hel-
en Holms. It is a story of mys-
tery, loot, love, fight and faith
and will be interesting to all a-
like. The "Railroad Raiders"
will be shown only on Saturday
nights and to complete the pro-
gram each Saturday night Char-
ley Chaplin will have the screen.!
Manager Stilwell will show on
Wednesday nights and will an-
nounce the program with hand
bills the first of each week.

Rain—Every Fpw Minutes
Beginning with a regular "gul-

Wheat is standing up well under
so much rain, but a few farmers
are complaining of worms eat-
ing the wheat.
