'Behind 11 | |j| ■ Ba A* creen - r MANY suits you see this day hide a multitude of skimping and saving behind a screen of “ironed in” sleekness that disappears with wearing. They do not have the gaff to stand up under wear, simply because they have been built for temporary looks alone. HILLIARD & HAMILL clothes are honest clothes—honest from first to If st, honest, inside and out. The woolens used in them are 100 per cent pure. The linings, the linens, the canvases, the tapes—all are tested for quality and shrunk before using. The tailoring is of the highest. The finishing perfect. CONSEQUENTLY—HILLIARD & HAMILL clothes stand up under the wear. That’s why Hilliard St Hamill sell so many more clothes than does the average Rensselaer store. 1111 LI U * \ 1 111 '

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The Jasper county institute closed last Friday after a very interesting weekly program had been completed. Prof. Edwin Barlow Evans was secured for another year to do institute work much like the work he did before the teachers last week. The program was given variety by the use of much home talent. Mrs. Loren B. Sage did the music work remarkably well. She "kindly consented to do this work on account of the resignation of Glenn M. Tyndall, who was employed to conduct the music last week. The Fisher family from Milroy township gave the institute music a climax not soon to be forgotten. The musical family consisted of Will Fisher and his three daughters Marie, Juanita and Lillian. Russell B. Wooden sang a solo in the forenooft Friday that was greatly appreciated also. The daily programs were reported by Prof. P. W. Ashby, of Tefft, and Helen Porter, of Remington. Their very efficient work gave publicity to the institute so that many public spirited people from Rensselaer and outside came to a number of its sessions. The secretary’s report shows the following enrollment. This enrollment is short as it records only those who paid the institute fee. Several of our teachers attended institute in other counties and will appear in a later list. The enrollment follows: Paul W. Ashby, Tefft. • Mabie Atwood, Rensselaer. Fae F. Brouhard, Fair Oaks.

Teachers Going Back on Contracts

Prof. John D. Matt resigned as principal of the Demotte schools to accept the principalship of a school near Chicago at a very marked increase in salary. This leaves Demotte without a principal. The schools did not open at Demotte on time. R. A. Conn, who taught at River school In Wheatfield township, was employed by Trustee Bowie to teach the Center school In that township. County Superlntenddht Schanlaub of Newton county Informed Mr. Bowie over the ’phone late Saturday that Mr. Conn had moved from Brook to a small town in Newton county to teach there. Mr. Conn failed to notify anyone of his latest Intentions, consequently the Center school did not open with Mr. Conn as teacher, yet the trustee, county superintendent and patrons knew nothing to the contrary until accidentally discovered at a late howr Saturday. It was only through the fairness of Mr. Schanlaub that Mr. Bowie learned about Mr- Conn’s latest decision. Miss Cecile Jordan Informed Mr. Bowie last Thursday that she would not teach the River schoql for him. If he opened Monday he did so with half his regular corps of teachers. He has been making overtures to a number of the Wheatfield high school graduates who are not licensed teachers to get some one to substitute until he can fill these vacancies. There seems to be a tremendous scarcity of teachers throughout the state this year. Gladys McGlynn and Doris Powers resigned in Milroy township at too late an hour to get regular teachers. Mrs. Wood has consented to teach at Banner until Mr. Wood can get a regular teacher. Queen City is without a teacher unless Mr. Wood is able to get a substitute for that place for awhile also. Mr. •Pettit- of Walker is in the market for a teacher at the new school that is In process of construction at this time. It will be ready for use In two weeks. Mr. Harrington is short a high school teacher, but Mrs. Sterrett will take the place until a regular teacher is found. It requires a college graduate at Fair Oaks and the •college graduates are very scarce in normal times, let alone reconstruction times. Barkley township will not open until Sept. 15. The query is, how many of Mr. Davisson’s teachers will stand by their contracts until Sept. 15?

The only country In the world that is trusted today is the United States, and the world is waiting to see if its trust is Justified.” Mr. Wilson’s Indianapolis speech was like the one at Columbus, an explanation of the league, an appeal for its ratification, and a prediction that It was sure to come Into beinv.

SAVINGS BODIES URGED TO HELP HIGH LIVING GOST

Government Director Lewis Makes Appeal to Six Million Members—Seventh District Takes Action. Active entry into the campaign to lower the cost of living is urged upon more fflan six million members of War Savings societies throughout/the country by William Mather Lewi/, director of the savings division of the treasury department. The message tor Chicago and the rest of the seventh federal reserve district was sent by Mr. Lewis to W. B. Bosworth, executive secretary of the Distinct War Savings organization. There are 160,000 active savings societies, chiefly in industrial concerns. In his appeal Mr. Lewis said: “No solution of the high living costs can be reached until the country shakes off its presnt spending Intoxication and settles down to demanding a dollar's worth of food or material measured by the labor or effort required to obtain that dollar. Millions of people are not spending from their earnings, but from their savings of the past two years. “Liberty bonds and other securities accumulated by patriotic sacrifices during the war are being cashed at a loss to the purchaser to buy luxuries at prices exorbitant even for luxuries. It is not essential that we return to the extremes of economy and sacrifices of war times, but It is essential that we keep firm hold on the savings accumulated during the war, not only as a matter of personal benefit, but as a factor in bringing prices down. “Enrolled in these government savings societies are more than six million people close to the very heart of American industrial life. It is in their power to increase the flow of production. It is in their power to check waste among themselves and those dependent upon them, as well as in the communities in which they live. This can be done by wise buying and treating what they buy with respect to the hours of labor its purchase cost them. It is in their power, through regular and consistent saving and safe and conservative investment in such securities as War Savings stamps and Treasury Savings certificates to add to the capital necessary for industrial expansion and Increased production. “The savings division of the treasury department, therefore appeals to the savings societies to re-enlist In this campaign. They can show the people of America how, and what to buy. They can teach how and when to save. They can assure a larger part of our national effort to production of necessities. They can aid to bring abqut Increased employment and prevent the lowering of the general standard of living In America.” Harry Edwards Clay, manager of the War Savings stamp societies for the seventh district, lost no time sending out an appeal to the 1,500,000 members in Illinois, Michigan. lowa, Indiana and Wisconsin backing up the plea from Washington. “There Is no more potent factor in the present campaign to cut the high living cost than the government savings society. The statement of Mr. Lewis gives another reason why men and women should join these societies, and why those who are members now should become active in the work. As Director Lewis says, they can show the people of the country how, when and what to buy, and they have it in their power to increase the flow of production and check waste among themselves and others in their community, as well as to assist in prosecuting cases of profiteering. This work will help each one individually. It will aid in bringing about better conditions.”

KEEP UP THRIFT IN SCHOOLS

Pupils to Be Taught Principles of Saving With Experience in Selling and Account Keeping. With the resumption of school this month many of the educational features of the Thrift and War Savings Stamps campaigns will be centered in the classrooms. The continuation of the Little Lessons in Thrift which were sent direct to all the school teachers in the five states of the Seventh District during the first six months of the year will be provided for. These lessons are designed for all grades, but pay particular attention to the younger classes, where it is desired to instill early the principles of thrift and saving. In all eighth grade schools and in high schools it is planned to Interest the pupils in personal accounts, a systematic and regularly conducted organization being formed in each school for that purpose. The system will include personal experiences in buying, selling and account keeping. Students in all colleges and universities will be enlisted in a campaign to popularize personal accounts and systematic savings. Domestic science teachers in public schools, normal schools and colleges, and agents of extension departments will be utilized to make this individual budgeting of students’ incomes effective, j

YOUH RED CROSS IS STILL VERY BUSY

Read What Your Dollar Is Doing • JUNIORS of today make the Red Cross of tomorrow I In the membership drive during September the Lake Division of the Red Cross wants to enroll 200,000 school ehlldren and more, to help the Greatest Mother In the World. Red Cross Juniors have an extensive after-war work to carry out Junior Membership Is only 25 cents. It is taken out In scbodl-room units so that every school child can be a member of the Junior Red Cross. A world of opportunity for helping other chil dren all over the world la open to Red Cross Juniors.

HOW TO JOIN THE RED CROSS JUNIORS

UPON application for memberships schools are placed on the department of Junior Membership mailing list at Lake Division headquarters to receive the National bulletin Issued monthly by the Department of Junior Membership at Washington. Upon payment of membership foes schools receive certificates or renewal cards which are their receipts for membership fees for the current year. Service to others is the appeal of the Junior Red Cross today. The public school working with the Rod Cross is the natural agency for spreading a new consciousness of the humanitarian obligation of men and nations toward each other.

WILL SPREAD EDUCATION

TWO phase* of education present themselves in the Junior Red Cross after-war program. One is the providing of scholarship for children of disabled soldiers, sailors and marines who wish to attend schools of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The purpose of the scholarship Is to furnish a sum of money to keep children from fourteen to sixteen years old out of Industry for a few years longer than family finances permit and to make It possible for them to have added vocational training to fit them for self-support. In this the Red Cross will be cooperating with the Vocational Bqgrd which has an extensive program well under way for providing training for disabled service men. The other educational alm of the Junior Red Cross is to develop among children of all nations understanding of social, Industrial and commercial conditions as they exist and will develop In the future. To meet these needs the Red Cross has compiled a series of graded lessons which teachers may present to their pupils In the schools. These deal with geography, customs, occupations and other affairs peculiar to each country, and are prepared to give a basic understanding of the world as it is in process of change today. School teachers who have completed the standard Red Cross First Aid course and bold a certificate from Nar tlonal Headquarters win be qualified to give this instruction in their schools this fall, » ;•.

NOTED CITEENS ENDORSE JUNIOR PEACE PROGRAM

Governor james m. cox of Ohio says concerning the new program: "The purpose and plan of the Junior Red Cross appeals to me greatly. Development of international understanding and good win can be given no place in a comparable measure with the undertaking among children," "I have examined your plans with interest," writes Governor J. P. Goodrich of Indiana, "and it gives me pleasure, Indeed, to indorse the proposed work of our school children to assist in relieving suffering in Europe.” V. O. Gilbert, State Superintendent of Schools for Kentucky, endorses the plan as being worth while from the mar serial side but of greatest value from its educational side In the development 8f character.
