. SEMI-WEEKLY BANDON RECORDER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12.191S PAGE FOUR Judicial Dispute Settled The Supreme court of Oregon has finally spoken in the matter of the contention over the office of county judfre. The court holds that four years was the term of the judges el ectcftl in 1910, the six year term not applying except to those elected after the 1010 election which extended the term. Thus the hva of Judge John F. Hall are upheld. He resigned last week as county judge, recognizing that his term of office extended the four years he was elected to and not six as many of his advisers would have him believe.. On the strength of this decision James Watson will hold the office for the term of six years. Marshfield has for some time been ngitating the proposition of having a special prosecuting attorney, a depu ty to reside in the bay district and attend to the cases arising in that sec tion. It is likely that this plan will now be brought more directly into the lime light. It is intimated that the matter has not been pushed hereto fore because of the impression that Judge Halll was not friendly to the idea. LOOK OUT FOR THEM From different parts of the country come stories of a swindle successful ly worked on farmers who thought they were going to get cheap grocer ies. Two smooth looking stranger." went through the communities, tak ing orders for a house in Chicago pretending to sell a standard brand of sugar and flour so cheaply that ev ery fanner they visited took from to SCO worth, and other things beside Hecause of the low price the flour and sugar had to be paid for in advance It is said that in one conimunitj the swindlers picked up some $.1,000 and no groceries were over delivered.

RiHi men and G .Edson of Lyiw'nn, Wash for fire trespass on the Washingtor National Forest was tried in Seattli on Janury 27. The three men plead ed guilty to the charge and paid i fine of $25 each, with costs amount ing to $20..1S, a total of $10 LIS. On the night of August 12, 11) U these three men camped at "thro1 mile spring" on the Washington Nat ional Forest. On the following morn ing, they left their camp fire burninf and continued on their way througl the Forest. The evidence brought out the fact that they had rceivec' printed notices form the Forest Sup crintendant and had paid no allciHioi to them. Likewise they had observ ed the fire warnings posted in the for est but had not heeded them. Al though the fire was discovered ami extinguished before any damage was done, the regulations and laws governing the setting and guarding of fires in National Forests, make such carelessness as these ca in pert showed a criminal offense. KNOWLEDGE THAT EVERY ONE SHOULD POSSESS. You never .know when you will face an emergency, caused cither by sickness or accident, when there will be no doctor within call and when it will be compulsory for you to render what aid you can. You can never tell at what time you may suddenly be taken sick or may be called to take charge of a sick or injured person when you will need some practical knowledge of medical mailers.

GETTING IN JAIL If things go on as they have been going for the past few years, it will be much easier for an American citi .en to go to jail than it will bo to Keep out of jail. Every now and then some individual or some clique bobs up witli a brand new plan for turning some of us into criminals. The num ber of new ways for getting a man in jail is surprising. Wisconsin has its "Eugenics law" which makes it a fel ony for a couplo to marry without un dergoing a physical examination. The Illinois legislature, at its pres ent session, will gravely consider tho passage of a like criminal statute. Other states are being asked to pass laws making it a felony for a citizen to have any liquor in his home, even for medicinal purposes. One state has a law against dancing the tango. The Indiana cigarette law never has been repealed and the state has ns a result several hundred -thnuMuud per fectly good citizens who could be ar rested and sent to jail any day. Per haps the most striking development of our government is that the laws are not made for all tho people nor by loproiuntntivoi) of the people, but by miwll cliquos, highly organised and Irumendiiounly energised over put tic ulur questions.

Ninteen infant recruits have been added to the ranks of the first grade. These have been placed in. the charge of Mrs. Van Fleet, in the small room known as the "Teachers' rest room." The regular Wednesday morning assembly period was given over this week to Rev. Knight who gave a very interesting and vital address on the right aims in getting an education. Mr. Knight's talks are always, to the point. The total enrollment for Bandon schools now reaches over seven hund red. About one hundred and twenty five of these arc in tho high school. Tho eighth grade graduates must re main in the eighth grade room for the study periods on account of lack of room in tho assembly room. They have, however, enrolled for high school work and recite in the high .school class rooms. Last semester the single session plan for the high school was thor oughly tried out. No one connected with this department of the schools will deny its merits. The records shows that the percentage of failures in the various classes is no greater than it was under tho two session plan. And the members of the faculty ire certain that the standard of ex cellence has not been lowered. The early morning hours are most con ducive to mental activity and the af ternoons are employed by ambitious students in various creditable ways. Alargo percentage of them return voluntarily to the high school study room where one of the faculty is in charge during the afternoon. Stud ents who are inclined to shirk, and every school has a few of these, are "encored" by the faculty. The Freshmen gave their first lit erary program before the high school last Friday and took the whole school by storm. Despite certain rumors that they would bo scared to death and act quite bashful, they proved to be quite the opposilcand they render ed an excellent program. Aeon Thorn pson, Gladys Gallier, Irene Breucr and Mr. Thomas Pollock gave instrumen tal solos which were splendidly ren dered and Miss Jessie Bell's song a bouf'Dcar old Bandon High School" was well received. Thomas Thorne gave a very good discourse on why the Freshmen were green and clearly exonerated the class from blame for any ignorant act of theirs. Misss Mary Chancy read an excel lent paper on Joan of Arc.the girl that saved France. Tho play "Looking Backward" was tile crowning feature of the whole pro gram and showed clearly what a lot of time and work had been spent by Miss Rodgora anil pupils in getting it up. It was a scene of an old New England school and the pupils learning their lessons by singing them over and ovei The Finale of the program was "Freshman Flappers" in which the class came in with dunce caps decor ated in their class colors, green and gold. They sang a parody on "Typ erary" telling their reason why they are in Bandon High School. We all thought that civilized war faro did not permit tho shelling of undefended, unfortified towns, but it seems we were mistaken. The policy of terrible frightfulness in war has no restrictions whatever. To say that war, as practiced today, is Hell is a libel on Hull. St Louis Mirror. When John Muir was buried at Muir California, two days after Christmas, his friend Wm. Frederick Hade made an address in which he quoted these words from his last con versation with Muir, a little before his death: "Longest is the life that contains tho largest ainont of self effacing enjoyment, of work that is a steady delight. Such a life may really com prise an eternity upon earth."

Several matters pertaining to the school welfare were discussed by the teachers and parents of tho school. A short but well rendered program was also given by the pupils of tho vari ous rooms. The dramatization of stories by tho pupils of the primary department un der tho direction of Miss Nettie Bel lows, was especially well received. A delightful lunch of coffee, cake and sandwiches was provided by the mothers of the club. The telephone girl sits still in her chair and listens to voices everywhere She hears all the gossip, she hears till the news, she knows yho is happy and who has the blues. She knows all our sorrows, she knows till our joys she knows every girl who is chasing the boys. She knows every man who is mean to his wife and the man who shovels food in his mouth witli iiis his knife. She knows every time we are out with the boys, she hears the excuses each fellow employs. She knows every woman who lias a dark past, she knows every man who is in clined to be fast." In fact there's a se cret 'neath each fluffy curl of the qui et demure looking telephone girl."
