STAFF PROMOTIONS HIT
school fund allotment, and the ap
parent padding of the Antelooe school
fund allotment. Clyde T. Bonny,
principal of the Antelope school and
former Wamic county school super
intendent at whom the thrust was
aimed, denied the charges today in
fighting style.
Bonny evidently believes the story
was prompted by the county court,
with which bodv he had so ma n v dif
ferences that he resigned his position
as school superintendent at the close
of his hist term. He sets forth that
there is not any of the echool money
due any school district in the county.
Further, he declares that the only
reason Wapinitia and Wamic and
Friend were left out was because
they failed to comply with the law
governing apportionment of the
school fund.

CARDINAL THANKS COUNTRY
AGAIN FOR HELP GIVEN".
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Elimina
tion of "dead timber" among army of
ficers was suggested by General Per
shing before the senate and house
military committees today as one of
the steps advisable in peace-time re
organization of the military estab
lishment. In nearly every grade, the general
thrra were a few officers who
had passed the stage of usefulness
and should be replaced.
In reducing the army, from 500.000
to 300,000 men, the general said, only
a. very small reduction could be made
in the number of staff officers.
We had 350 on our staff in France
for an. army of 2,000.000 men," he
. r. iri "Wo shnnld have r.eeded the
same number for half as many."
"Nearly every army officer goes
around with a, reorganization bill in
- his pocket." said General Pershing,
"and if you examine them you'll find
each has one arranging good promo
tions in his own service.
"In France .we assigned officers to
duty without regard to what their
previous service had been, and they
. performed efficient service."
Chairman Wadsworth said some re
cent promotions had created 58 colo
' nels for 18 cavalry regiments. General
Pershing said his scheme would pre
' vent that.
Promotions Benefit Staff.
"Staff officers have been able to
come to congress," General Pershing
idded, "and get promotions to the ex.
:lusion of promotions for officers of
ihe actual fighting arms."
When the proposed consolidation of
Jie chemical warfare service-with the
engineer corps was taken up a com
nitteeman asked if use of poison gas
should not be eliminated.
"I'd be glad to see that," General
Pershing returned, "but somebody
:lse might use it and leave us in the
urch. 1 would continue preparation
.'or chemical warfare."
"The national guard performed ex--ellent
service in the war considering
ts limited opportunity for training,"
aid the general. "Its officers and
nen had the feeling, and quite prop
:rly so, that they had not had com
plete support from the regular army."
Men who have served in the pres
nt war should be allowed to enter
oluntr reserve orratUantjonB. Oen
ral Pershing said. "I would classify
.nd assign them to service," he said,
with divisional units complete by lo
i -allties, ready for Instant call. ,
Guard Should Be L'sed.
"National guard divisions should be
".tilised In the same manner-as (ar as
jossible." he added.
"ItJon't know how far the 48 states
t re going in re-establishing their
. lilitia for local use," he continued
But the governors might be allowed
- o call on the reserve organizations
or help In case of emergency."
General Pershing was asked to ex-
Iain exactly what his theory was for
- inning me national guard m con
' ection with the military establish-
- .iient.
I think it would h wia to v
11 troops that have seen war service
.il national guard units anA Inrin.-t
item into the federal reserve units,"
:: ie answered. "The national guard
ould be kept as part of the training
ervlce.
"You will always have 48 different
inits to deal with in connection with
he national guard. The states have
T ontrol over the guard, but the fed-
- ral government has some authority
; o enforce regulations over it.
: Guard Finn Not Favored.
"If ho system of military training
i -vas adopted we shall have to fall
ack upon the national guard, but J
. ihould hate to see it."
Several committee members came
7 .o the defense of the guard system
- and its results.
1 "This law provides that every man
; rained shall be automatically called
- nto service in case of war." said
; Representative Miller, republican of
- Washington. "What are your views
T AS to that?"
IT General Pershing1 said he would
- favor passing the trained men into
reserve organizations and calling
them into service automatically when
their unit was needed.
Z "You wouldn't have a selective
i draft then?" Representative Miller
r pursued.
"I think the other would be the
X better plan," said General Pershing.
WASHINGTON", Nov. t. Under au-
thority given by congress to retain
T 18,000 commissioned officers in the
army until the end of the fiscal year,
Z the war department has decided to
Z retain in their present emergency
grades about 100 general officers, in
Z. eluding General March "and Lleuten
" ant-Generais Hunter Liggett and Rob
; ert L. Bullard. There will be 55
3 major-generals, headed by Leonard

QUEBEC, Canada. Nov. 1. Cardinal
Mercier, primate of Belgium, boarded
the steamship Megantic for Liverpool
today after being entertained at a
civic reception.
Cardinal Mercier sent a farewell
message to the people of the United
States in which he said in part:
"I have learned to admire the
American people: I have learned to
love them. I feel a strong assurance
that a lasting tie of mutual sympathy
and confidence has been established
between your country and mine, and
that it will endure for venerations to
come. If the calamities of this great
war and the bitter sufferings which
it entailed for our people have
brought one bright thought, it is of
this bond of union between us.
"Once more, my dear American
friends, let me express to sou my
heartfelt thanks for the wonderful
assistance which you gave to Belgium
during the war.
"Let me thank you again for the
generous way in which you have re
sponded and are responding to my
appeal to help me once more in the
heavy tasks of social and moral re
construction in combating the devas
tating effects of radical socialism
land bolshevism, which await me at
nome, tasKs wnicn are related closely
not only to the welfare but to the
very existence of my people, even
though they themselves in this period
of unrest and resentment mav no
fully realize it.
"The world, I know, seems to have
these difficult and unsettling prob
lems before it everywhere. And yet I
have the profound conviction that jus
tice and rigfct will, when given their
hearing, solve these problems of un
rest and measurably seconcile the
differences -of man. It is my duty, I
know, to work to this end. I pray
you, my dear friends, to do likewise."

A Dry Cellar Yet a Cool00ne
A warm cellar is a poor storehouse. That's why vege
tables and other foodstuffs cannot usually be kept in the
basements of homes heated by the old style pipe furnaces,
or the more costly systems. The
Home Ventilator Furnace
TKo Oricina PATENTED Ptpolsos Model
Manufactured onyby the HOMER FURNACE CO, Homer, Mich,
will radiate enough heat to keep the cellar fre3 from
dampness, but will not detract from its natural coolness.
Vegetables can be stored with perfect safety.
Heat is not wasted with the "Home Ventilator. The
scientific principle of design and operation sends all heat
units through the combination hot- and cold-air register,
and from there it is evenly distributed throughout the house.
