With the many pressing Interests that aro demanding the attention of the people, are we giving to our schools and their welfsre the atten- tion they should have? This Is & matter that can easily be neglocted, and any neglect in this matter will be fraught with much of harm. The traln-| ing of the tuture d women of this country should not be made of importance to any other demand upon our time and means. As f our country flows on we Will more and more need that our clti- zer ducated and developed along usetul lines that shall tend to Iift, the race to new heights. Every citizen Who has the welfare of his country at heart should take an individubl and personal interest n the weltare of the schools. He should lend his influence to the end that the schools have the materlal and moral support without which they are impotent to accomplish the desired rosults. And in the meantime lot us sco that the right material 1s chosen for| the schools. In this, the matter of salary will play a large part. The ssme quality of talent can not now be secured at the same price as for- merly. This fact must be borne well in mind 1n choosing our teachers. Economy in this direction s liable to work great harm to our school in- tereats. THAT CONGRESSWOMAN—MISS RANKIN The actions of Cong: annette Rankin, “the lady from Montana,” in important’ legislation which has come before congress, aro mot taken as an indication of the Worth of women In public office, but the trouble with Jeannette is she 1s too light and happened to land na fon to lll which she Is “far from home."” Just what her idea was when she advocated the dootrine of equality of man and woman in public oftice s a mystery. Jeannette Is a most ca- pable woman in many ways, no doubt, but she Is the best dodger in the business. LaFollette dodged In the Senate and Jeannatte dodged in the| House. Undoubtedly there were various reasons, us everybody knows La- Follette, especially do wo in Minnesota, and It is regrettable that the back- ‘bone o the “lady from Montana” lacks about three inches of reaching her neck. She voted against the war resolution with Germany and she was conspleuous by her absence on the roll call on the resolution which de-| clared war with Austria. The question might naturally arlse, just what are the views of this ‘Woman with reference to the United States and what is her position? The glamour has faded from the falr Jeannette, From the closeness of the vote in Ohlo on the “Iicker” question that state would appear to be in the position of the youngster who knows ho. ought to be good, but had just naturally rather not. o e qu..,“:v, Rex Feature Showings TODAY’S PROGRAM Falcon Production . “His 0ld Fashioned Dad” A dram.of acriice and lovo and ambition, eaturing Dasiol Gil fether and Mollie McConnell ® = Billie West g In a Two-Reol Comedy 10-and 20 cents 7:20 and 9 o'clock e e e Goldwyn Production Tomorrow ¢ Jane Cowl N “The Spreading Dawn” From a Saturday Evening Post story by Basil King. e e M S S, Thursday---Big Feature “On Trial” By permission of Cohan and Harris from their famouse stago hit WATCH THE REX PROGRAMS FOR THE BIG FEATURES I FOR - 1o insure these for —Have you, too, forgotten? —Are you, due to the increased values of —Do you realize that to rebuild your home —Do you know that your heusehold furnisl. —Do you know your rugs, carpets and texts_have i you paid for them? —That your fixtures, office furniture, etc., h i —That your merchandise is worth many timgnore than when you insured it?
