Show BUSINESS MEN WILLNOT FLY At the business men's luncheon at the Hotel Atkin last Thursday, Mr. Prest representing an air plane company, made a proposition to stop here for a couple of days and give exhibitions of flights, and take up passengers at $15 per, if they could get a guarantee of $750. Sloan thought it would be a good advertising stunt and immediately made application for the first ticket. Marksheffel who acted as chairman appointed a committee consisting of Burns, Hanks and Sloan to see if the required guarantee could be raised. Dr. Alexander who was the special guest of the day, made a few remarks which were well received.

A good bunch agreed to go and they went. At the lunch tomorrow. Hanks will act as chairman and Ice Cream Lynch will collect the fines. Arrington will explain to the fellow fel-low conspirators why he did not go to Delta. The subject for discussion will be: "Good Road Bond Election." Those present were Burns, A'rring- ton, Prest. Alexander, Hanks, Cline, Tanner Hickman, Sherwood, Mayo Cline Nichols Jorgensen, Woodbury Lucas, Swanson, Carlton. Sloan. Ad-kins, Ad-kins, Lynch Markshettel, Orwin. Bird.

She said that the salary was low, and the state ought to do something about it. I told her that she couldn't put it off that way because to all Intents and purposes she was the state she and peoplo like her. That if all the mothers who heaved sighs of relief when their children started for school would insist upon the teachers teach-ers being adequately paid they surely su-rely would be paid. I further told her that I considered that teachers were among the very few patriots left." ' O, Marcia, Molly protested In alarm. "Yes I did. You have to put things picturesquely for the Mrs. Browns, and often for the mothers who aren't Mrs. Browns hut who are too tired and worried to think beyond be-yond their doors. I told her that there wasn't one of us that wouldn't get twice as much in business; that nothing but sheer patriotism kept us from going, because we considered training children the biggest work a state has to do. Bnd somebody had to do it. I told her that often it was morn than teaching that we had to try to undo In twenty-five hours a week the hem" Irainint af the other hundred and forty-three hours.
