THAT NEW SCHOOL BUILDING Mention, was made last week of th crowded condition of the Chesterfiel High School building' and the need o more room. This subject will prob * ably b*.discussed from, time to tim in thf*e columns, until a decision 1 neached. It is roughly. estimated that $20 ?00-wilL repair the present building install water works and modern heal lag system aad erect a new and mod crn building of about the same siz on the present school property. It is possible to- borrow this mone .. without the issue of bonds or it ma be gotten through the issue of bond in the regular way. An interesting proposition has bee offered by one of the trustees thu merits the careful attention of a these interested. It is that all th adjoining .school districts combin with the- Chesterfield School Distric wi^h. respect to all grades above th seventh. The >dy>ntoge to the rural school would be - that they could concen irate their teaching force on the low ar evades end thus give much bette service to the pupils. The pupil from these.rusal schools going abov ihe.seyenth. grade would have acces to the Chesterfield High School tu liosfns. In -return the Chosterfield schoc district would raise part of its extr till levy, from these surrounding dU txiets, in the case of a bond issue. &EMA1&& WATSON'S WILL Some- of the greatest lawyers i the .United States have not been abl to write e will that we snot contested in some cases sat aside as illegal Samuel J.

PROHIBITION ON SHIP BOARD The pjresent administration is car rying out the prohibition laws as t< intoxicating- liquors on ships carryinj tfe? Am?tTi<;an and upon all th< foreign vvessels that, come within th< three mile lipiit.

"Likewise any vessel coming inb United States territory is called upoi at least to respect the laws of tha country." AM AMWMCAM'S IMPRESSIONS OF EUROPE H?n, James H.

STORIES OF QftEAT INDIANS By Elmo Scott Walton Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union CORNSTALK'S FAME AND DEATH AT POINT PLEASANT EVEN If tin* Shawnees liad not given to history a Tecumseh, they would bp well represented In the Indian hall of fame by Cornstalk. He rose to greatness in the Battle of Point Pleasant (Wiring Lord Dunmore's war in 1774. That* wus the first 'All-American" engagement?Shawnee Indians led by Cornstalk against native frontiersmen commanded by Col. Andy Lewis. On the evening before the battle the Sliawnee chief, knowing that he was i already outnumbered and that another tinny was marching against htm. offered to cross the Ohio alone and make overtures for peace. He was overruled by his warriors. "It Is well," he snld. 'tff you are resolved to light, then tight you shall. But If any warrior attempts to run away I will kill him with my own hand." Early the next morning he attacked. It was a desperate all-day battle. Cornstalk was everywhere, encouraging his warriors. -Once, true to his threat, he cut down with his tomu hawk a skulker. Then Lewis outflanked him. The chief skillfully withdrew his forces, leaving the white man In possession of the field, but at the I cost of 75 killed and 150 wounded. When Lord Dunmore offered to I make peace. Cornstalk called u council of his chiefs. "You would not make j peace before Point Pleasant. What Is | your voice now with two armies of the Long Knives prising upon us?" he de' mamled. "If It Is for war, let us first kill our women and children, then go out and fight like men until we, too, are killed.'.' The Shawnees were silent. ; Cornstalk dashed bis hatchet into the council post. "You act like children !" | he exclaimed. "1 will go and make peace myself." So he went alone to ) Chlllicothe and signed the treaty. ' He never broke It. In 1777 he went to the American fort at Point Pleas, ant and warned the settlers that he < might not be able to restrain his restless warriors. The commandant detained him and his son, Klllnipsico, as , hostages. One day some roving Indians amj bushed and killed a settler. / Declaring that the Shawnees had planned the ambush, a party of whites rushed to the cabin where they were held pris" onnrs.Cornstalk heard their angry cries outside the door. lie knew that the end had come. "My son," he said to 1 Klllnipsico, who was budly frightened, "the Great Spirit has seen fit that we should die together. It is well. Let us die like men and Shawnee warriors." Rising to his feet, he faced the door. As the Infuriated settlers threw it i open the old chief d'uw lumself up I proudly and opened^wlde his arms. A I second luter lie sank to the tloor, plefced through the breast by t#*ven bullets. Point Pleasant had brought him both fame and death. I .
