If our route is, say 17 miles shorter than any other proposed route, it will mean a saving of one gallon, or more of gasoline in making the trip between the two terminals, and if there are an average of 500 cars making this trip each day—which !• not an extravagant estimate once the road is built and almost the entire tour-[ Ist, business and trucking traffic diverted this way—it would mean 500 gallons of gasoline saved every day by choosing this route —3500 gallons per week, 15,000 gallons per month, 170,000 gallons per year!

WALT NAGEL AT FT. HARRISON

(Continued from Page One)

Private Walter Nagle, B company, 103 d Engineers, of Rensselaer, Indiana, was stricken with appendicitis when the vessel was two days out and an immediate operation was necessary. Fortunately the sea was very calm. The operation was performed by Lieutenant Commander D. R. Ryan, assistant navy surgeon on the Finland. Private C. W. Hall, a casual, whose home is Ln South Carolina, was also an appendicitis patient. Both operations were successful. The main organization on board the Finland was the 103 d Engineer Regiment, of the Keystone Division, who in turn built bridges and went into the line as Infantrymen, and, like other units of the Twentyeighth division, suffered heavy losses. Colonel F. A. Snyder, a Philadelphia engineer, took the regiment to France and returned in command of it. One of the remarkable feats of the regiment was the construction of a trestle bridge over the Marne river near Chateau-Thierry, on July 21, when the Germans were making supreme efforts to break the allied line. As the Germans were driven back the American troops went over the bridge and the engineers threw first waive of French troops that went into the attack. Again on October 4 at La Forges they went into the line as infantry combat troops, and on October 6, in the supreme attack by the Twentysixth division on the La Chene Tondu Ridge they were part of the Fifty-sixth infantry brigade, which suffered heavy losses, but gained their objective. During the fighting the regiment lost sixty-six killed, 278 wounded, 271 gassed, thirty-seven shellshocked and three missing, a total of 636 casualties. Ono of the dead was Lieutenant Colonel Frank J. Dufy, killed August 17, at Courville. Corporal Arthur Dieter of Scranton, Pa., received the D. S. for rescuing another 'member of his company under heavy fire. Homing back in command of Base hospital No. 23, was Captain

COUNTY EDUCATIONA L NOTES

The Jasper County Board of Education met in the office of the county .superintendent on Monday, /May 5, and transacted the regular business of the month. A rather spirited contest over the selection of the truant officer for the coming year resulted in the re-election of C. M. Sands on the sixth ballot. After the selection of truant officer the attention of the hoard was principally taken with a consideration of the eighth grade diploma examinations. It was understood that the examination May 17 this year should be given. County Superintendent Sterrett presented the following solution which will become the first business of the day in June: That the grades made by pupils in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades should be averaged to determine whether a pupil should be promoted into high school. All pupils who are able throughout these three years to make the agreed average in scholarship and deportment should be excused from the examination and granted a certificate of promotion resembling the present used 'diploma. Teachers will certify to the grades of all pupils above the sixth grade each month to the county superintendent who will preserve such grades until the eighth grade is completed. The board did not consider a uniform wage scale at this meeting for teachers. It will be considered at the coming meeting. However, teachers who are ambitious and make extended preparations for teaching will he given better wages than those who treat teaching indifferently. This matter will occupy the attention of the board the coming month. A complete list of all teachers of Jasper county who will attend or are attending school during the summer will appear in the notes as soon as the list is completed. The list of pledged teachers is surprisingly long this year but this list is usually shortened when the names of those who actually go away is checked the coming fall.
