FIDE DRILLEMPTIES THE LAMAR SCHOOL
BUILDING OF 6IFW !fi SI SECONDS
High School Eecord Is Beaten by 30 Minutes and Lamar
Pupils Are Chesty Over It; Football Teams Are Or
ganized and Athletics Are Playing a Promi
nent Part in Daily School Life.
LAMAR school pupils are strutting
around quite puffed up nowa
days. Why? They beat the
High school record by 30 seconds in
the fire drill Friday morning. March
ing in perfect order, the school "was
completely emptied of its 600 pupils
in exactly 61 seconds by manual train
ing supervisor W. A. Burk's watch.
At the first fire signal the door moni
tors take their places, and then the
children march out two abreast. Out
side of the school building the children
form into groups by rooms and re
main until further signals. The teach
ers are the last to leave the bulldlnff.
Exits in the Lamar building are ad
mirably arranged so that there is a
Spparat exit for every two rooms. The
fire drllT is given twice every month.
There are more pupils than ever
before in the Lamar school. Two of
the rooms hare to hold half day ses
sions to accommodate the number of
pupils. These are the second grade,
taught by Miss Maizte Cole, which
has 68 children enroled, with a seating
capacity of 40, and the third grade,
taught by Miss Maude Strickland,
which has an enrolment of 60. with
the same seating capacity of -40.
To accommodate the surplus num
ber, the school board secured two
portable house, which were to be set
up on the Lamar grounds. After the
houses had been unloaded on the La
mar grounds it was found that it
would be against the fire ordinance
so the portable houses had to be
carted off to the Aoy school grounds
where they are being set up.
Three Room Have No Tnrdle.
Three rooms had no tardies during
the month of September, they are the
high eighth grade, the high seventh,
and the high third. The latter with
the sixth grade also had an attend
ance record of S9 percent
There is an exceptipnally good
school spirit among the pupils at the
Lamar school this year, although this
has always been a characteristic of
the Lamar pupils.
Lamar school has grass, trees and
flower beds around the play grounds,
and the children take a great deal or
pride in the appearance of the grounds.
Miss Alice Fltzpatrick, the principal,
sat-s that never have any of the flow
ers been picked or destroyed ,by the
cnuaren. Tne graaes or tne cnuaren
in their regular work were of very
good average, and the Spanish -work
exceptionally good.
Interested in Athletics.
Much interest is being taken In
athletics by the students and they are
being encouraged by the teachers. The
teachers have found competitive games
the best way to teach a boy or girl
honor, good sportsmanship, and clean
playing, being good for the develop
ment of characteristics which make
for good citizenship.

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Remedy
Easily and Cheaply Hade at
Home. Saves Tou 82.
M
This plan makes a pint of cough
Bvrup enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as ranch or as
good cough Byrup for $2.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
stant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in 24 hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
ha3 an excellent tonic effect. It is
pleasant to take children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic croup and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2 ounces of Pir.ex (fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in gnaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in thi3
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
imitated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,

PATH OF CURRENCY
BILL IS SMOOTHED
Now Believed the Bill Can Be Brought
Into the Senate by November 15;
Purposes Are Endorsed.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 11. Conser
vative expressions by Democrats known
to be in sympathy with the administra
tion led to the general belief that the
path of the currency bill has been
smoothed out at least for u tune. Ap
parently, there is to be no attempt to
unduly hurry the senate in its work.
While the president wants early action
on the Glass bill, close friends of the
administration are making it clear now
that they do not draw an arbitrary line
at December 1 as the date for its pas
sage. While the special session of congress
ends November 30 and the regular win
ter session begins December 1, transition
will make no change in the status of
the currency bill. The senate committee
arranger1, eday its program of hearings
to cover the time up to Ocotber 25.
Bankers from Kansas, Nebraska and
other states will be heard.
It is believed that if the bill can be
brought into the senate by November
15, the administration will be willing
to let the Democratic leaders of that
body take charge of the situation with
out trying to force passage before De
cember. The general purposes of the bill were
endorsed before the senate committee
by James Gf. Cannon, president of the
Fourth National bamc of New York, and
A. F. Dawson, president of the First
National bank of Davenport, la. Both
recommended a number of amendments
which they held would improve the
measure.
UNTERMEYER FAVORS
CURRENC YMEASURE
Boston, Mass., Oct. 11. The funda
mental principles of the currency bill
were championed by Samuel Untermeyer,
of New York,- in an address before the
Economic club. Mr. Untermeyer said
that the bill "had minor defects," but
that he favored it "primarily because
of what it will do toward relaxing the
'strangle hold' of a few men in New
York on the money credits of the coun
try. "The true inwardness of the opposi
tion," he said, "was found in the re
fusal of bankers to give up control cf
the currenc.y system."
Not satisfied with having six of the
nine t'irectors of each of the reserve
banks, hesaid, the bankers are "gunn'ng
for a voice in determining when, how
and to whom the government shall issn
its obligations in the form of currency."
TO FORM NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT LEAGUE
Washington, D. C., Oct. lL A na
tional convention to form a "National
Popular Government League" will be
held here early in December as a result
of a meeting of a committee of 50 prom-J
inent men representing all shades of
political faith. The purpose of the
league is to effect state and .federal re
forms. HERNANDEZ CASE

eral Court Proceedings.'

1121 CASE GOES
IIEI TILL MONDAY
Court to Vote Tfpon Whether
Ballots Shall Be Open or
in Executive Session.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 11. On Monday
the court which is to decide the fate of
governor William Snlzer will decide
upon the plan for balloting to determine
whether it shall be in open court or in
an executive session. The court will
then take up the constitutional objec-
tions to the impeachment charges that
have been made by counsel for the gov
ernor. If the judges hold adversely in
whole or in part to the contentions of
Sulzer's counsel, a vote on his guilt or
innocence will follow. The next ques
tion to be decided will be whether he
should be removed from offe. Should
this be decided affirmatively the judges
then will vote on whether additional
punishment, disqualification from ever
holding public office in this state again
shall be meted out to him.
Popular demand is, for an open session
of court.
No record has been kept of the pro
ceedings of the few executive sessions
which have been held and this has
aroused much criticism.
To judge D. Caflv Herrick, chief of
the governor's counsel, fell the task of
saying the final word for the accused
executive- His remarks stood out in
strange contrast to the vitriolitic attack
of judge Parker.
The governor was pictured by judge
Herrick as an honest but eccentric man,
to whom even the thought of commit
ting a crime was a thing apart. The
attorney did not seek to excuse the gov
ernor's method in obtaining campaign
funds, and admitted that Sulzer had low
ethical standards, but argued that no
criminal intent had been shown, and
therefore the charges had not been sus
tained. "Some members of this" court," he
said, "have known him for years; of hi3
carelessness in money matters; of his
overweening ambition; known of his
egotism; known of his proncness to con
sider those things which are the crea
tures of his imagination as actual facts:
but none of you in the past has regarded
him as a dishonest man, a perjurer or
a thief and that is what these charges
come down to."
To a determination to shield his wife,
the governor's failure to take the wit
ness stand was attributed by the attor
ney who declared also that the same
motive prompted Mr. Sulzer when he
sought the aid of Murphy and Barnes.

The heat making properties of foo
are not needed so much during tne.
hot weather, hence less food l! re
quired. November brings cold weather
again and more food is required for
heat making purposes. The appetite
craves more food, and the result is
most people over Indulge.
This may bring on a condition or
the stomach known as dyspepsia. The
.stomach is suddenly surprised with
extra work In digesting unusual
amounts of food. In some cases it is
not equal to the emergency.
Peruna is an excellent stomachic
It stimulates the stomach In its nat
ural functions. It acts as a gentle
laxative also, and in this way enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
lse to the emergency of the extra
work thrown upon them during tho
:nonth of November. .
A few doses of Peruna during the
early davs of November would un
doubtedly save a &ret many people
from the horrors of dyspepsia. It is
.mi excellent remedy. It should be in
eerv home, in order to enable the
digestive organs to adjust themselves
to the differences of diet between
summer and winter.
Catarrh of Head and Stomach.
Mr. Frank Richter. 309 Bast Second
St., Winona, Minn., writes: As a.
remedy for catarrh I take pleasure ra
recommending Peruna for catarrh ot
the stomach.
"My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomachl I tried
many remedies without success. A
tried several doctors but they were un
able to cure me. I read of Peruna
in the papers and five bottles cured
me."
