The statistics show 5,133 boys and 4,791 girls; however In one rural district 14 boys and two girls were recorded. In another nine boys and two girls, while in another, a high school, 62 boys and 38 girls were enrolled. Census figures for tome of the larger districts In the county: Sharp Decline in School-Age Children Found in Mesa County Bulk of Shortage Within City of Grand Junction; Few Districts Show Increases; Percentage of Boys Is Growing. THE COLUMNS OF CALUMNY Worse than fifth columnists are personal cahmmlsts (to coin word) who are now operating under the cloak of patriotism to slander and bring under suspicion persons whom they do not like. This ever-increasing army of calumnista evidently has many recruits in our own community who are engaged in the dastardly business of spreading rumors (originated by them) in efforts to destroy the reputation of persons who, in most cases, are' truer Americans than their accusers.

Racial and religious bigots are taking advantage of the fifth column talk to spread their propaganda, which is, in a true analysis, as un-American as any foreign ism the real subversive elements are trying to spread. Magazines and newspapers are required by law to print statements of ownership and reveal who assumes financial responsibility for their publication. Yet the propagandists of some of the greatest evils of our day get by with distributing their circulars, handbills, in complete anonymity, and, in no fear of having to face the libel laws, both these and the circulators of false rumors and outright slander operate freely in their efforts to get revenge or bring ruin to persons they want out of their way. It seems to us about as vital to the maintenance of democracy, just now, for this column of calumniators to be run down and exposed as it is to round up the fifth columnists. They are menaces of equal degree to the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of these United States.

SOME CATS, YOUR LIFE AND YOU Its well to know that most people can learn things from animals almost any animal. It comes over us that plenty of people could learn nothing less than a whole way of life from the Siamese cat. The Siamese is the blue-eyed cat, usually beige-coated with seal-brown points, which was brought to this country in the old days by sailors who ventured up into Siam, and about Which numerous legends are told of its having been crossed ages ago with monkeys or rabbits or pandas such legends being 100 per cent untrue. But the Siamese does differ from most other cats in one striking respect. Aside from being as affectionate as a dog (most Siamese cats, given any encouragement, will climb all over you, kissing you with their little sandpaper4ongues and draping themselves like fur pieces around your neck), the Siamese takes a phenomenal interest in the place where it lives and the people it lives with.

It never seems to tire of exploring its own home, large or small; of studying every little nook and cranny of the place where Fate has elected that it live. And it obviously gets endless fun out of this simple practice of taking its own world as it finds it and eternally surveying and resurveying that world. Isnt there a hint in this for human beings? To know your own job, your own chink in life, your own personal world, as thoroly as you can, and to keep refreshing your interest in it by everlasting study of its details, its changes, its story-thats one road to happiness, and probably to a more and more spacious personal world.

Telephone Your Classified Ad. Having rescued most of the American aliens in Europe, Uncle Sam now has to turn to rescuing them from the Orient. If our memory serves us right, Cordell Hull warned Americans in the Far East some two years ago that they had better come home. And we note that some over there now prefer to re main until definitely ordered out. That is their privilege.

But they should not look to Uncle Sam to come after them when the situation gets too hot for comfort. But they will, and denounce him if the rescue service isnt de luxe. I 1 i I I ft! 1 i Ed Taylors announcement that he will run again is sweet music to troubled ears all over the nation as well as in Western Colorado. A veteran of 16 terms, Taylor has a record which includes many fine accomplishments and thereby has gained a set of experiences that are invaluable in times like these. The News predicts that his election will be another walkaway and hopes that the membership of the Republican party, which surely ought to realize this, will have the decency to let the most powerful man In the house of representatives go thru the fall election unopposed.

Durango News. Who wins this war may not make any difference to American oldsters, but it is certainly going to make a lot of difference to some 30 million youngsters studying geography and history. Already the international boundaries that perplexed last years geography students have been changed, and, ere they resume study in the fall, maps will have to be revised again, while histories will have to be rewritten, showing up Caesar, Alexander and Napoleon as mere amateurs at military campaigning and tactics as compared to todays dictators. And its probable the war of 1914-1918 will no longer be called the World war, since present operations reveal it to have been a comparatively local affair.
