At the regular meeting of the here who have been investigate
School Board, Monday night, the
following members of the faculty
were elected. The remainder of
the faculty will likely be elected
at the first meeting in May.
Mjss Clara Merkel was re-
elected Principal of the High

Wylie Crane and T. A. Foster
were re-elected ward principals
Prof. Crane will likely be as-
signed to the Lee building and
Prof. Foster the Jefferson build-
ing.
Mrs. T. A. Foster. Miss Alma
Colwell and Miss Flossie Oehler
were elected as primary teachers.
Grade teachers who will be
assigned by the Superintendent,

S. Bush, Miss Barlow. Miss Bald-
win, Miss Hill, kiss Reaves and

The School Board contemplates
moving the High School grades
from the Lee building to the
South Side building this coming

gestion of the grades and give
more room for the smaller ones
at the Lee building. The first
three or four lowest grades on
the south side will remain there
and the balance of the building
devoted to the high school.
NEW GARAGE
Messers Earl Witten and Ves-
ter Jackson have opened up an
automobile garage in the old

They have remodeled the build-
ing, put in a gasoline supply
station, anu have a line of auto

"Four years of continuous figh
ting throughout the various parts
of the republic has produced a
condition of affairs in the food

threaten a famine of such pro-
portions as to necessitate world
wide aid. The fact that farm
hands have everywhere been
thrown into so called armies.that
farm animals have been utilized
for like purposes, that leaders of
roving bands marching under
banners containing fantastic leg-
ends about liberty and the rights
of man which they use as a blind

murder, have so reduced the crop

necessary cerals, are now well
known to those investigating,
who have made a careful study
of this phase of Mexico's life.
"That the effects of this wan-
ton destruction are only just be
ginning to be felt is due to the
great producti ve riches of Mex-
ico's agricultural regions where

scratch the soil and drop his seed
while God and sunshine do the
rest. But self seeking and self
appointed military leaders for so
long a time have prevented the
farmer from even scratching the
soil over so great an acreage that
Mexico is about to reap the whirl
