Send In Your Vote Now that the citizens of Bemidji have failed to designate their choice for the new school site, not having secured a majority vote in Saturday night’s election, we.recommend that readers of this column decide where the new high school building is to be located. Why not conduct a straw vote? Just send in your name and your choice of site to Twentieth Cen- tury and we will see what we can do, The selection of the site-is getting to be a joke, anyway. —Help It Along— Not Enough for Two With candy about 20 per cent cheaper, the kiddie’s penny will at least buy a smell. —Short, but Sweet— Auto Be Figured But how are we to reduce auto- mobile accidents when one company Js_turning out 5,673 new cars every "day, and a sucker is born every minute?

'He has given proof cof many circumstances of sangfroid, never returning until his mission was accompliched, often his machine viddled with bullets and shell splinters. Carpentier was transferred to Far- man eccadrille No. 8 on “April 19, 1916, during the attack of the crown Prince on Verdun. On November 5, 1916, he received the Medzrlle Militaire for heroic ac- tion during the French counter at- tack, by which Daumont Vaux was recaptured. The citation follows: “Sergeant Pilot Carpentier as a clever aviater fimpresses everyone with bravery executing daily perilous missions. He distinguished himself during the attack October 26 flying | over the enemy lines at a low altitude for four hours, despite unfavorable weather and even in contempt of dan- ger.” Carpentier was forced by illness jn December, 1916, to quit the front and ha never returned. He went to the Viry Chatillon hospital and was then transferred to Clignar{ Court, just outside of Par’s. He was granted two months leave January 15, 1917, and in February obtained permission to visit the United States giving exhi- ibitions, but the trip later was called off. On May 16, 1917, he was assigned to the escadrille statjoned at Algeria but was declared unfit to:continue as a pilot and. was detached from avia- tlon. He then became' physical in- structor at the Joinville school of the French 'army five miles outside of Pa- ris. He gerved as a ‘boxing instructor tourinz all of the French camps and many of the American camps.

All at once Dr. Jack Halton’s bird and hound dog came down the al- ley with his back feet over his neck (In_ the_ act of running), and Mayor Edwards’ rabbit in the lead. ' The rab- bit is’ a very large specimen of the rodent family and well able to care for himself, as well as the dog who happens to be a combination bird, rabbit, coon' and anything else that happens to be in sight. Well. it was not long before the same pair came back, but the rabbit was not in the lead. Rube, the dog, and the rabbit played for about twenty minutes up and down the alley, in the back.yards, and seemed to be having a wonderful time, when all of a sudden the rabbit, tiring of such amusement (please be- ilieve me), jumped and bit Dr. Jack Halton’s dog under the neck, then, to do the job up right, kicked poor Major séveral times, thus-ending the morning’s exercise.” ONE HIGH- .SCHOOL A DAY For Twenty-Eight Years That Has Been -the Record This Coun- try Has Made. In a pamphlet on high schools in “this country, issued by the federal bu- reau of education, it is stated that the total number of| these schools in 1917- 18 was 13,051, Th iling 1 £ the bureau includes the names, of 16,300 high schools. The number of these schools has increased over 452 per cent since 1890.. This means that one high school has been estab- lished in this country each day in each calendar year since 1800—a high school a day for 28 years, 2 In 1800 60.8 per cent of the high schools were under public control, but in 1918 the_ public-controlled high schools were 87 per cent of the whole, The average size of a city high school is 653 students-and of a rural school 59 students. In 1890 only 312 persons .in each 1,000 population were enrolled in pub- lic high schools. In 1918 the corre- sponding number was 15.6, or almost five times as great a proportion. Cali- fornia leads in high-school education, with 27 persons out of each 1,000 in the population. Kansas is a close sec- ond, with South Carolina at the bot- tom of the list, with 5.3 persons. The Yellow World. It is easy to see why China’s Im- perial color is yellow, writes a_cor- respondent from Yangste river. Her rivers are yellow, her long plains are yellow—especially in a_ famine year such as this, and as for her seas—the boundaries of her world—so desert- yellow is their color that.a string of camels crossing them would look. more in . keeping than a string of junks. And so one can: understand why the very heart of the heart of China, the Imperial city, should lie like a shim- mering lake of golden tiles within her lotus-besieged walls. Even against the evidence of my own eyes I cannot be- lieve that the Great Wall is built of solid ordinary stones laid one upon the other. Rather it seems moulded out of the stuff of which the mountains themselves were made, long ago when® ~(O DISCONTINUE ADVERTISING \S LIKE TARING DOWN NOULR S\GN! \E NOL ARE FISHIN' FER “RADE, YOU GOTTA USE SOME BANY the world was plastic and €mpfy.of all save possibilities, There never was 8o sinuous a thing as the Great ‘Wall built by men, I think, so sinuous and so aspiring. Does Away With Long Climb. Something unusual has been accom- plished in the completion of the en- trance to the Southwest museum, in Los Angeles. . The building is situ- ated.on. a high hill and until recently it has been necessary for pedestrians to make a long and laborious climb up the hill to reach the main entrance. Now, however, the climb has been ob- viated by an artistic as well as prac- tical improvement. A tunnel, 224 feet long, was bored into the hill and ended in a large octagonal waiting roor, on one slde of which is.a twelve-passenger electric elevator of the automatic type. . The elevator makes a climb of 108 feet, delivering the passenger into the main_ hall of the museum, Old Forms of Currency.
