Sinoe the lifting of the censorship restrictions it has become known that the first shot fired by America against Germany was not in France but on the distant Island of Guam.

The shot was fired by a United States Marine Corps battery on the Island, under command of Major Ethelbert Talbot, who was born in Kansas City and raised in Kansas and Missouri. He is the son of Dr. Robert Talbot, a former dean of Trinity Church of Fort Soott, Kansas, and now rector of St. Paul's in Washington.

To County Superintendents: Owing to the different conditions that have prevailed and because of the varying length of time that schools have been closed throughout the state on aocount of the influenza epidemic it seems 'impossible to prepare for general use bi-monthly examination questions which would be universally applicable and satisfactory. This being the case rural sohool promotions and county diplomas should in my opinion this year be allowed to depend upon oUbs grades, on local tests and nnd on the diploma examination. Therefore, unleBS my successor should deem it wise to change the arrangement, this plan may be regarded as the one to be followed, and no further stats bimonthly examination questions need be expected this year.

At 7:30 o'clock on the morning of April 6, 1917, word was received that war had been declared and that an Amerioan naval lieutenant would board the Cormorant to demand her surrender.

Why doesn't it do a much larger volume ol business? Well, one reason is that Mound City men don't pull together. Jones doesn't like Brown and Brown has a grudge against Smith. Smith is suspicious of both Jones and Brown and he cannot refrain from giving voice to his suspicions.

Then Smith starts something and Brown retaliates by getting out his hammer. Jones wants to pull a new business to town and Smith and Brown offer no encouragement because Jones will probably get the contract to furnish a part of the supplies.
