{Proud of having helped by his vote

president of the United States, at

Seranton ( Ps.) Times, wants to again
participate in the renaming by the

great president, Mr. Lynett is a can-
didate for delegate-at-large on the
Democratic ticket,
There 1s no more steadfast advocate
of the principles of Jeflerson, Jackson
Wilson than Editor Lynett. He is
unswerving in his loyalty to President
Wilson and his policies. For a quar.
ter of a century Editor Lynett has
been a power in state Democratic
politice. His election as national dele-
gate-al-large will be a fitting tribute to
his worth as a Democrat,

Is Millheim retrograding in one of
its most vital interests, namely, its
schools? There certainly can be no
progress without interest, acd since
this hss been a minus quantity with
our present board of school directors it
appears as though our schools are on
the downward path unless & change

question in the minds of some of those

class day exercises. We know of sev.
eral of the clase, (and possibly all of
them ) who feel offended owing to the
negligence on the part of the directors
in failing to attend these exercises ard
especially, during commencement,
They should at least have hovored the
class by their presence, /
