CURING DRUNKEN DRIVERS The other day, the filing of the moil Italy report of the York county rural police disclosed that the punishiiieiit given (Irunkeii drivers by York county magistrates Is an uveruge line of *48. "Look at this," suld a man to Views and Interviews, about that same time, as he held out a copy of an Iowa duily paper, with a local jiews story under Ills pointing linger. The news story told, with details of nuino and place and judge aud officers, that a drunken driver had been arrested out In the county, and because he pleaded guilty, he was give* a light sentence and was sent to the penitentiary for only one year. (Evidently, u drunken driver being arrested is real news in Iowa, Judging from the space and headlines of I he one which wandered into the office Thin Yorkvlllu Enquirer. About a half do/ayi in a year, in that statu, over twice as large as South Carolina, is ,the crop of drunken drivers there, it Is said?In South Carolina, the number runs fur ubove 100 a year. The deal lis caused by drunken drivers in Iowa is a negligible number? here the number Is large. The reason seems to be told in that newspaper story of a yeur in the penitentiary, and getting off light, at that, because he pleaded guilty. Two years in the penitentiary seems to be the usual punishment there, aguinst a flue of *48 here, for the greatest peril In this country today. "We're going to have a lot of.drunken drivers In South Carolina, aud a lot of people killed by them?perfectly innocent, careful drivers killed by them?as long us shooting a missile weighing a ton along the wrong side of the road at a mile a minute, with a crazy man at the controls, is considered by the magistrates as merely un exhibition of bad manners," said the man with the newspaper. "Well, we can't do anything about It," remarked a bystander, "unless we put a few magistrates out of office, to show them that decent motorists have votes, and more votes, than the drinking drivers."?Yorkvillo Enquirer. MAKING PENALTIES HARD Itrunken drivers and malicious vandals "get theirs" In some parts of the country according to two newspaper accounts from widely separated sections. One tells of a drunken driver pleading guilty and receiving a one year sentence. Another tells of two young men going on a wild outburst of malicious mischief, tearing down and destroying rural mail boxes and damaging a cemetery. The account reads: "Their arrest was ordered the next morning on complaint of the Postmaster Tampering with mail boxes is a federal court offense and a *5,000 line might be imposed if handled by that court; also committing such depredations iit a cemetery involves a very heavy penalty. The case will not reach the federal court but the government was content to have It handled locally as the penalty was sufficiently severe. All the defendants pleaded guilty before a Justice and were given six months suspended sentence, with the understanding that tln-y report to the sheriff once a we?>k. be in their homes every night by 10 o'clock except one night a week when on permission of the sheriff they may have a later hour. They must make restitution for all damage (tone, and they were lined *10 euck and given a month in which to pay the lllie."

Patrons are also advised to have' their children s teeth and eyes exam-! ined before entering them?if this Is' possible. This is in nowise compulsory but it done before the opening may save some valuable time to the j student.

High School Notes?As has been the practice for several years high school pupils will register before the open Ing date of the schools. By this plan much confusion is avoided, the pupils do not have to spend a day of tiresome waiting, and classes can begin work promptly on* the opening date. Attention of parents and pupils is called to the fact that unless pupils report for registration at the scheduled time they are Tlkely to find the classes in the subjects which they wish to take already filled. Parents should investigate the courses given bj the high school and help the pupils [elect subjects that will give them the I host possible preparation for life. Not lull the work in the high school is college preparatory and, therefore, parents an.l pupils are cautioned to elect subjects carefully to that end. The superintendent and principal invite the parents to confer with them about the work of their children for the school year. The schedule for high school registration follows: I hursday. September f>?30-11:00. eighth grade; 11:00-1';30, ninth grade II t'iday. Seutember 0?S: 30-11 , on t?mth grade; 11:00-2:30. eleventh grade. The principal will ho at the school oftiees on Saturday, September 7 r li and Monday, September 0th, from *.;>o to 12: On. I?upiis will be given the opportunity to register Saturday and Monday, provided they tire unable to do so at the scheduled time. High school students who have had summer work for credit are to consult L. W McKadden on or before Thursday. September f?th. to arrange for standing examinations on such subjects.
