LEG BROKEN IN TWO PLACES; GRAVEL PIT CAVES IN.

Orval Reed, son of Charles Reed, of Barkley township, had his right leg broken in two places Monday afternoon while at work at his father’s farm. He was brought to the hospital here for treatment. At the time of the accident young Reed was hauling gravel from a pit in company with his brother, Seth. Both boys were in the bottom of the pit when the gravel caved in without warning, burying them beneath it. Seth was able to extricate himself and freed his brother. The latter is suffering a great deal of pain and the breaks are of a serious nature.

Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell, of Barkley township, returned today from Austin, Minn., and Geddes and Mitchell, So. Dak., where they had been- visiting with relatives. Mrs. Louis Haas and Louis, returned to their home today in Tipton after a visit here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. v Abraham Leopold.

Caroline Herman, who far a number of years has been one of the efficient nurses at the local hospital, returned Monday and is again at her post of duty. -Miss Herman recently underwent a major operar tion from which she has completely recovered. >-

RECORD YEAR ANTICIPATED

FOR CITY SCHOOLS DURING THE COMING TERM FACULTY PERSONNEL CHANGED. A record breaking school year for the term 1919-t2O, both in the matter of attendance and in efficiency of service rendered, is the prediction of C. R. Dean, head of the public schools of this city. Surrounded by an able corps of instructors in all branches, Mr. Dean feels that the school patrons of the city and country have a school system that will meet educational demands in every respect and which will insure them that the best of service 4s being rendered, and is extremely enthusiastic as the time approaches for the launching of another term. During the term of 1918-19, a year crowded with adverse conditions and with a dearth of capable iinstrUctors, the school prospered and the close of the term marked ah epoch when a class shattering all records in the matter of number was graduated. With the obstacles of the war days removed, Superintendent Dean feels confident that the city schools are to continue on their march to be recognized as among the leading schools in a state which bears the reputation of having the most efficient school system in the entire country today. Mr. Dean has secured a wealth of high-class instructors, • and the faculty personnel as it is comprised at present shoWs that the high school will again 'practically revert to masculine control, a. condition which has not been true for the past several years. Bht one position remains to be filled, that of science instructor in the high school, but it is expected that within a short time the teaching roster Will be completed. In the high schools will hf employed Arthur Shepler, C. T. Hadley and Ralph Schaupp, all of whom saw service in the late war. Mr. Shepler was an officer and saw service in Europe. Mr. Hadley was in the war zone for eighteen months and Mr. Schaupp was with the army of occupation in Germany. The schools will open Monday. September 8, and the school board urges that all students who contemplate attending school in this city register on that date. The following is a list of the teachers to be employed and the departments they will have : Superintendent—C. R. Dean. High School. Arthur Shepler—Science, principal. Blanche Merry—English.

PLANS MADE FOR GREAT CITIZEN ARMY.

Organization through a new system o$ universal military training of a great citizen army to be known as the National Guard Corps was proposed Saturday by the National Guard Association in a statement made public through the National Security League. Thirty divisions of the National Guard Corps, functioning as a separate corps of the United States army under the direction of the secretary of war, is proposed. Instead of subjecting all 19-year-old youths to a three months course of intensive military training, as proposed by the war department, the guard association would have military training as a part of the national public school system, with youths entering this course when 14 years old. After this preliminary training they would be given two months’ training in the field and would be graduated into the guard, where they would serve actively for two years and nine months before being placed in the reserve for three years. . ' Estimating that 500,000 youths would be graduated into the guard every year, the statement said that after six years “we would have a most effective army of 3,000,000 men, 1,500,000 in the so-called active service and 1,500,000 in reserve, all of them graduates in the training camps.” To establish immediately the National Guard Corps “and give it a start,” the association proposed that the law .provide for the reorganization in the corps of the former 'National Guard and the National army divisions which existed during the great • war. All officers who were discharged from such units would, upon their own application, be recommissioned in the grades held by them at the time of discharge and assigned to units of the National Guard Corps in the vicinity of their homes.
