Did you notice how the casualty
list of the United States is climbing

fighting. We hope not. but we ex
pect that the casualty list will mount
tip considerably in the near future,
for it is generally surmised that our
boys arc going to play an important
part In the fighting from now on.
This should spur us on to greater ac
tivities at home and as Dr. Hotson
has rightly aald that the Tillamook
people can do the boys in France a
wonderful lot of good, and they could
do nothing better for them than
gather sphagnum moss, of which this

Women I* Local Politics.
------ o-------
From the look of things women
are going to get into local polities
again. Some few years since the
women of Tillamook City thought
that it was right that a woman
should be on the school board. There
contention was, however, that the
public school was suffering on ac
count of too many inexperienced
teachers, and as it often happens in
a school the size of this district a
woman can handle the sltuatiton
better than a man, when it comes to
the morals of girls attending school.
The women had the best of the ar
gument, especially when it came to
employing inexperienced
teachers
for the men folk, somehow think
that to the victor belongs the spoil,
hence, there friends, or their friends
friend, happened to be elceted teach
ers, regardless of experience. Well,
the men folk will do that, anyway.
So the women were determined to
have a representative on the Tilla
mook school board. When the annual
meeting was held, it was dominated
by women, and notwithstanding that
some of our citizens endeavored to
head the women off, they failed to do
so. The chairman delayed calling
the meeting to order, and quite a few
of the men folk held a star chamber
conflab in another part of the build
ing. It was highly amusing with the
women patiently waiting for the
school meeting to be called to order.
The women carried their point and
won out with an overwhelming vic
tory, and the men folk who held that
star chamber confiab must have felt
that they got what they deserved
when they undertook to keep a wom
an oft the school board. The meeting
elected Mrs. A. C. Everson director,
and in doing so elected an experienc
ed. highly educated person, in fact
one of the bast read and intelligent
women in the county. Then it was
thought there would be trouble at
the board meetings. Not so, however,
Mrs. Everson had the best interest
of the school only in mind, and when
outvoted on any question did not
cause any fuss, but in a ladylike
manner acquiesced in the decision of
the board. It was not long after Mrs.
Everson became a member of the
school board that the other members
found that by her experience in
school work she made a valuable ad-
dition to the board, and instead of
discord, the board worked harmon
ious together. And Mrs. Everson was
re-elected and is still a member of
the school board.
This is how a woman came to be
come a member of the school board,
and the women of this city showed
good judgment when they placed her
on the board.
Now the women are going to butt
into county politics and give the men
folk a tussel. It is the office of coun
ty treasurer that they aspire to,
and being the first women elected on
the Tillamook school board, Mrs.
Everson aspires to be the first wom
an to be elected to a county office in
this county.
We may add that as Mrs. Everson
had made such an excellent school
director, she was elected to the re
sponsible position of secretary to
the Tillamook Branch of the Red
Cross, and very few persons know
the days, weeks and months she
has devoted to that good cause, tak-
ing up most of her time.
