OF "OUR" COUCH'S.
John M. O'H.eh tint alleged double
murderer who is being held fnr tlio
murder at Oklahoma City January
18th of Miss Nellie Dunn a school
teacher and Hun land 1). William a
music Instructor la tint related to the
family of Couch's near Boyd The re-
port ha been Riven pome credence
that lie was a brother of J. W. Couch
of Boyd tho Utter being the father of
Sheriff Jun Couoh.nf Beaver. This is
a mistake altogether. Tlioj are abso-
lutely relntvd in no nay
The report grew out of the press
notice at the time the horrible crimes
were committed that Couch had a
brotlmr living in nearer county. Wo
understand that he doe have a broth-
er. Quint Conch residing in the east
ern part of tho county.
While of course no member of n
family I responsible for tho acts
of nny'nther member yot an undeslr-
ahlo stigma resultx from having one's
name connected with stloh heinous
crimes and when no relationship ex-
ists 0110 would just a little rather that
the public know.
RURAL
SCHOOL HEALTH REQUIRE-
MENTS.
There is a rapidly growing apprecia-
tion both in tlii' State and throughout
the country of the necessity for stricter
sanitary supervision and more oaro in
the construction of rural schools.
Many millions of children attend those
schools. The part they will play in
the general health of tho country both
as regards the present aud the future
cannot be overestimated. And It can
not bi denied that the rural schools
a'c behind those In tho cities. This
might be expected to a certain degree
because the city schools are larger and
more money Is available. Neverthe-
less there is room for decided improve-
ment at comparatively small expense
in a large percentage of our rural
ejliools. The country school should be
ai sanitary and wholesome in all essen-
tial particular- as the best homo in the
community. Kurt Her it should be
pleasing and Bttraqj'vp. in appearance
In Turnlshlngfl aTid surroundings so
that tho community as a whole may be
proud of it; so that the pupils and
teacher may take pleasure In attending
school and in caring for and improv-
ing It.
As every ground should have trees
shrubs and a real garden or experi-
mental farm the soil of the sihool
grounds should bo fertile and tillable
Rock and clay soil should ba avoided
wherever possible. If the soil tends to
bo muddy a good layer of sand and
fine gravel should be used to make the
playground as useful 88 possible in all
kinds of weather.
It has become well recognized that a
play ground is not a luxury but a real
necessity. A school without a play-
ground not only is an injustice to
childhood but an actual detriment to
healthful development. The school-
ground should havo trees plants and
shrubs grouped witli artistic effect but
without interfering with the children's
playground or the lighting of the
school house.
Tho children should always receive
tresh air coming directly from out of
doors through wide open windows in
mild weather and through window
board ventilators under all other con
ditions except when with furnace or
jacketed stove special and adequate
inletB and exits for air are required
The jacketed stove should have a direct
tresh air inlet about 12 inches square
opening through tho wall of tho school
house Into tho jacket against the mid-
dle or hottest part of tho stove. The
exit for foul air should be through an
opening at least 10 Inches square on
the wnll near tho floor 011 the same
side or the room that the stove is
located.
The school room should recelvo an
abundance of light sulllcient lor tho
darkest days with all parts of the room
adequately illuminated. Tho area of
glass in the windows should bo from
onfc-IIfth to one-fourth of the lloor
area. It is also essential that the
school house and grounds should bo
kept as clean as a good housekeeper
keeps her home. Pure drinking water
should always be available The com-
mon drinking cup is dangerous and
should not be tolerated There should
bo good washing facilities about the
school and the toilets should be kept
in an absolutely sanitary condition.

GERMAN CONSUL GETS TWO YEARS IN
PRISON.
For the first lime. In tho history of
the United Btates a foreign consul
general Franz Bopp one of tho three
consuls general of Germany In this
country was sentenced to prison and
payment of a lino for violation of Amer
ican neutrality. Judge Win. II Hunt
In the United States district court In
Sail Franctsro sentenced Bopp to two
years in a federal prison at McNeil's
Inland Washington; 0110 year in the
county jail and assessed an aggregate
tine of $10000 against him tho prison
and jail terms to run concurrently.
Threo of Bopp's aides Yic Consul
E. II Yon Schack Lieut. George Wit-
helm von Brincken and C. 0 Crowley
a war-time secret agent received like
sentence.. Mrs. Margaret W ..Cornell
Crowley's secretary was given a con-
current prison and jail sentence of one
year and ono day and one year with
no fines.
All were convicted by a federal jury
on January 11 of aonaptrlng (llratj to
violate American neutrality by setting
afoot a military enterprise against
Canada in aid of Germany; (second)
of conspiring to violate the Sherman
law by dynamiting munition shlpB In
interstice commerce. The first Is a
felony fur which all save Mrs Cornell
received the maximum prison sen-
tences. The second is a misdemeanor
and the defendants except Mrs Cor
nell received the maximum sentences
WARNING.
The County Engineer would be very
thankful it the parties would return
those lanterns that wore stolen on the
Stato road. They were placed thore as
danger signals. Persons doing such
little petty stealing oh th la endangers
the lives of the travoling public and
might cause innocent persons to be
killed or wounded for life I gueas
the guilty parties think it a high cut to
get cheap lanterns but It might turn
out to ba a short road to the peniten-
tiary. This Is not the Hrst time that
things like this has happened It bus
beon almost Impossible to keep ropes
on our Kresnos. besides several picks
shovels and other small tools have been
stolen in the last few months and not
very long ago a email sack of bridpe
bolts were stolen In tact there seems
to be a mania along that road to steal
tools or anything that can be found
looso at both ends. Now we don't care
how much you cuss the road or any of
Its construction but whoever is doing
this Is some petty thief that might be
brought to j"tiee as we have a very
good line on the guilty parties with
good prospects of an early arrest and
conviction so it might be well for
those things to be replaced and put
where you found them We under
stand one party said he borrowed them
for a few days.
