recognize the “Irish republic,” was adopted at a meeting of the Raymond E. Templeton b°st of the American legion last night. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, The Irish societies of Indianapolis met Nov- 30 for the purpose of perfecting plans for the selling of bonds of the Irish republic to the amount of $10,000,000, and Whereas, This Irish meeting passed a resolution to forward to the United States congress urging congress to pass the Mason bill, whereby the United States would recognize the Irish republic, and Whereas, To the best of information obtainable • there Is no Irish republic lawfully established, either by revolution or peaceful and lawful methods, and Whereas, Ireland is still under the protectorate of Great Britain, an ally of the United States in the recent world war, and with whom there exists, at this time, the most friendly relations; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Raymond E. Templeton post No. 126 of the American Legion, condemns such acts of the Irish societies of Indianapolis as being un-American in principle and in fact, in asking the United States government to do an unfriendly act against a friendly nation. Resolved, That the Raymond E. Templeton post No. 126, stands by the constitution adopted by the American Legion, wherein the American Legion stands for 100 per cent. Americanism, which further condemns such acts of the said Irish societies. Resolved, That the Raymond E. Templeton post No. 126, does not believe in hyphenates, be they German or Irish, but urges all people to put forth their best efforts for an America for Americans. Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to each Indiana senator, each Indiana representa-

tive, to the chai-man of the foreign relations committee; to the state secretary of the American Legion; to the national headquarters of the American Legion, and one copy to each newspaper in the city of Indianapolis. Judge Solon J. Carter, in an address at the meeting, spoke of the unrest in the United States and the part the American Legion must take in carrying forward the great (principles on which the nation was founded- The public, he said, is bearing the brunt of the battle labor and capital are waging and of the effects of the undermining influence in society of what is called Bolshevism, and the public, he said, is looking toward the American Legion for leadership.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly, influenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine Is taken internally and acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine was iprescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. It is composed of some of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood purifiers. The perfect combination of the ingredients in Hull’s Catarrh Medicine is what produces such wonderful results in catarrhal conditions. Send for testimonials, free. F- J.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The Jasper county board of education met in one of the recitation rooms of the new high school building at Fair Oaks last Monday. The following trustees answered to the roll call: Lefever of Gillam, Poole of Hanging Grove, Huff of Jordan, Duggleby of Kankakee, Fairchild of Keener, Postill of Marion, Wood of Milroy, Rush of Newton, Harrington of Union, Pettit of Walker. The board voted two days on pay to teachers for holiday purposes. All other dismissals must be made up in the spring. Length of Christmas holidays was left to each school corporation to be settled by the trustee with his teachers. Each trustee arranged to get the semi-annual manuscripts to the next institute when the manscripts will be distributed to the teachers for the first semi-annual examination. It is likely that I the state department will fix a date prior to ■Christmas holidays for this examination. But to date no one knows in Jasper county when it will be held. Union Township Rural Educational Conference One of the best meetings ever staged in Union township took place at the new high school building in Fair Oaks last Monday afternoon. There were more than 100 patrons and friends of education from all angles of Union township present. The program started promptly at 1 o’clock and closed at 4 with no intermissions nor minute delayais.

The school Fair Oaks prefaced the speaking program with songs from the primary and intermediate rooms, piano solos, recitations and a community song for all. Prof. A C. Campbell of Fair Oaks then opened the speaking program with a very pleasing address of welcome. Prof. Campbell then turned the meeting over to County Bupt. M. L. Sterrett, who offered a few remarks in the form of a plea for fair play In educational work for the rural boys and girls. Mr. Sterrett then presented Trustee Postlll of Marion township who Is also president of the tenth congressional district on rural educational conferences. Mr. Postlll delivered a fine address of about 20 minutes in length. He argued for good teachers, good buildings, good roads, and proper means of transportation. Mr. Postill was followed by Trustee Duggleby of Kankakee township. Mr. Duggleby expressed thorough satisfaction of the school at Tefft where all children in Kankakee township are educated. Kankakee townsnip has the unique distinction of being the only fully consolidated township in Jasper county. Trustee Duggleby was followed by Mr. Pettit who is trustee of Walker township Mr. Pettit gave a very forceful argument In favor of consolidation but insisted that it is unwise to consolidate until there is an assurance of good roads either existing or in sight. Trustee Pettit was followed by Mr. Poole, who is trustee of iHtanging Grove township. MrPoole offered a few remarks about school housing conditions in Hanging Grove township. He stated in very emphatic terms that he was ready and willing to house the boys and girls of Hanging Grove township In more sanitary quarters as soon as the patrons asked for it. Trustee Poole was followed by Mr. Rush, who is trustee of Newton township. He expressed himself as thoroughly favoring better schooling conditions than exist at present in Newton township. Mr. Rush was very enthusiastic about the country boys and girls and deplored the fact that his township was not housing the children in healthful rooms. He announced that he hoped to see big changes in Newton township before the expiration of his term. Trustee Rush was followed by Mr. Harrington of Union township, who gave some definite reasons why the boys were leaving the farm- Trustee Harrington also argued that it was wrong to have all boys and girls remain on the farm. He cited Lincoln, Garfield and stated further that every state in the union had at some time in its history a good governor who had come from the farm. Mr. Harrington argued very forcibly that the housing conditions in the country should be on a parity with the cities so that our children could attend school without jeopardizing their health. Editor Hanjllton gave an excellent talk of about 15 minutes, giving a contrast between the time’s when he began teaching and today. )His clean-cut sympathy for the boys and girls of the country districts found expression throughout his talk. C. M. Sands gave an impressive address emphasizing that truancy would cease to be a problem when the housing conditions in the country became a-s attractive as in the city. He also gave a clear and concise statement of the provisions of the present truancy law. County Agricultural Agent Learning spoke for about 15 minutes on the subject of the schools as an Americanizing medium. He pleased his audience with his pointed stories and attitude of earnestness. Felix Erwin of Fair Oaks gave a few minutes talk that was straight to his mark. He emphasized the innuence of the school building, teachers, equipment, etc., upon the children of the homes. He presented a point formerly touched upon by Prof. Campbell that a school that was large enough for a community room was a township asset and not a local one. Howard Gilmore, a member of the senior class in high school at Fair Oaks, spiced the program when called upon by the chairman by stating that he had been assigned to talk upon “A school for home boys and home girls,” but that some one had tricked his subject by drafting “ly” on to ‘‘home/’ He positively refused to talk on such a subject since there was no such school. This little jest prepared the way for Miss Nettie B. Jordan, the Red Cross nurse for Jasper county, who acquitted herself very creditably by briefly summarizing her duties to the rural schools. Miss Jordan closed her 15-minute talk by giving a summary of the 98 children that she had examined in the Fair Oaks school. The speaking closed promptly at 4 o’clock. The board examined the new building in the process of construction north of town and the new Parr building while enroute to Fair Oaks. They also examined the magnificent structure at Fair Oaks as well as some of the work done in that school. The domestic science class, under the supervision of Mrs. Sterrett, prepared and served an elegant dinner to the board and Its guests. The board examined some garments made by this class which were on display. They also examined the annual training articles on display In the department.
