COUNTY EDUCATIONA LNOTES.

A few weeks ago a circular letter Was sent out from the office of county superintendent requesting the teachers of Jasper county to impart a reciprocated lesson of friendliness that should exist between the school children of America and France. The county superintendent was made chairman of the movement in Jasper county. Schools were urged to spend a quarter of a day in giving a program to emphasize the reasons why we Americans should appreciate France. The response from our patriotic teaching body has been wonderful. They emphasized the lesson of reciprocated friendship by , programs, talks, etc., etc., and then requested each pupil to contribute between one cent and a dime to the Marne Memorial fund. This fund is to be used toward erecting a memorial shaft at the point where the German army came nearest Paris. Here 50,000 brave men died in behalf of French liberty. In 1879 the schools of France took up a similar contribution and erected the Statue of Liberty on Bedloe Island at the entrance to New York harbor. Now American children are in a position to do for France what France did for America in 1879. A full list of every boy and girl who contributes is sent in with each collection from each school or room. On April 15 the collections will be mailed to Indianapolis by the county superintendent. Jasper county’s minimum quota was S4O. But there has been contributed to date $82.02. This means a little over 200 per cent contribution to date with a number of schools to contribute yet. The largest sihgle contribution came from the city schools of Rensselaer with $25.60. The next highest came from De Motte with $9.21 and Wheatfield town school SB.IB. Contributions from the single rooms are ranging from 15 cents up to $1.25. Remington schools have not reported to date. There are a few country schools to report yet. Contributions will be received until April 15th. x Charles M. Blue is finishing a term end out for Ernest Shultz who was teaching at Gifford. Mr. Shultz resigned to enter Danville school where he will get more professional training to properly teach in the schools of Winamac where he has been employed as a special music teacher.

La France, one day out of New York, announcing that they would be in Rensselaer Sunday to make their future home. 2he Lequontesses are very close friends of Mrs. Duvall, and it was upon her suggestion that they decided to make America their home.

During the three years of his service at the front he downed twentytwo German ■planes, and in turn was wounded on one or two occasions.

The illustrious Frenchman and his wife will reside With the Duvalls on a farm north of town where he will be engaged in the dairying business With Mr. Duvall.

MANY POTATOES EATEN.

In this country, the chief, and practically only, interest in the potato today is as a vegetable for the table. We are greatly surpassed in this use by Europe, and Germany in particular. In that land the average annual per capita consumption was seven bushels in normal x times, while our own was two and a half. The laborers of eastern Germany ate seventeen bushels a year. The other European countries are, as a rule, far above us and the diet of many an Irishman is said to be potatoes and spring water—-for breakfast, dinner and supper. In to this direct consumption, uses of the potato largely unknown to Uncle Sam are for flour, starch, dextrine, glucose and alcohol.

CLEARING TRACK FOR UNCLE JAKE

Editor Leslie Miller of Morocco having withdrawn from the race for the nomination for representative in the Indiana General Assembly of the counties of ,Jasper, Newton and Benton has evidently caused a clearing- of the way for Unde Jacob Rich of Brook. Ira H. Drake of 'Kentland has followed the lead of Editor Miller and has withdrawn. This leaves Mr. Rich the only candidate from Newton county and Jasper county has no candidate. There is a candidate from Benton county, but undoubtedly Newton will be solid for Mr. Rich and Jasper will give him the greater part of her vote. Anticipating the nomination of Mr. Rich on the Republican ticket and knowing the hopelessness of a race against such a good fellow. Attorney Hume L. Sammons, of Kentland, who has filed with the secretary of state as a candidate for the Democratic nomination from the three counties above mentioned has withdrawn his name. Wm. M. Crockett of Lafayette who had filed for the Democratic nomination for congress in this district has filed his withdrawal. This leaves Fred Barnett 04 Hammond as the one willing to make the sacrificial offering for the cause of Democracy in the Tenth Indiana congressional district. a
