' play that plank for a favorite. It looks like a mix-up very similar to that of two years ago. I Some people are never satisfied. When Wilson had been chosen presi j dent, and the awful rumor spread that he fancied llryan for secretary of ' state, a howl of protest went up fro-n ' j the usual anti-Bryan quarters. What? 1 i’ut that man at the head of the state I | !department? Incredible; it could not !be true! But, alas, it was. The chair of secretary of state, vacated by 1 Knox, was dusted off and presented tc • Bryan, and dismay were the prophec j ies. The eountry had a through tick j et to perdition, sure, with no retun j coupon so long as Bryan was on thI job. Recently the secretary announc ed that he was about to spend seveia weeks lecturing upon the chautauqtu , circuit, and that naturally, for excel I lent physical reasons, he would b* ! away front Washington and the stat< ! department. Were there sighs of re lief from his critics? Not at all. Tin | same persons who howled most dis mally when Mr. Bryan took the sec retariai chair let out a scream of pall : on hearing of his proposal to leave It The folks who didn't want him it i Washington in any official capacity | could not hear to have him off the job ' even for a few weeks. Judging tc 'their own past performances and fre fluently expressed desires they shoul j have l>een the happiest of happy pec ;>|e but they weren't.

They allege that lie attempted *o direct at what places some of the teachers should board. His revoking the license of D, A. Raumgartrenr, his refusal to allow him to pass the ex imination here, and his trying to iuercept his passing in Grant county, were also reviewed, also Ills attempt ‘o prevent Trustee O. J. Sutnan from employing Miss Mary Erwin, and Mr. Opliger’s sending through the mails a threatening and intimidating letter to said trustee and also that he charged Trustee Suntan with conspiring to defraud him of ninety cents. Another charge is that he detained Trustee Beer in his office for two hours to talk of his (Opliger’s) personal standing in the county. It is further alleged that he failed to notify all the members of he board of education when a special meeting was called. He is also charg-1 ed with demanding in a threatening manner that some of the teachers sign a statement as to his morality or I competency as an official. That by litis general contact, when visiting I schools, he lia . unnerved the teachers ; tnd produced disorder among the puI pils for several days, t reating a general feeling of unrest among the teachers and disrespect for the counIty superintendent among the pupils. I a discord among the trustees and a general complaint und disgust among I citizens and patrons of the schools, j resulting in a disorganized condition | which retards the progress of the schools. ! The second paragraph winds up by ! saying that Mr. Opliger's impaired ! condition has existed since January. | 1912. and that by reasou thereof he I I "has become haughty, irritable, ego j j tistical. distrustful, intimidating, un j J trothfal. suspicion*. j threatening, revengeful, spiteful, self I ish. sullen, morose, insulting and vie-j ioum, all of which he exhibits in hi* I effort to superintend the schools of I the county." and should be removed.

It is surprising the number of boys and g rl* who are doing this—and the number it grow ng. There are thousands of boy* m Indiana who are working fer a living. Some of them keen, bright, industrious boys, work during their spare hour*. Perhaps they may start an account with ut for sl.oo—- — it it for a larger sum. Every time they get a dollar or so they add to It. By the time these boy* are too old to do odd choree and are ready to go into eome regular occupation, they have n neat bank account back of them. The boy with a bank ar „• t ias a c.r.ri n life'* race it's hard for one who has not to overcome. Employers everywhere like the boy who saves. They r*a*cn if he saves fee himseif, he will esve foe Mum—-and It’s pretty shrewd reasoning, too. We want all these boys—we want to see more cf Muss young hustlers here. Anv boy can come to th : ban' nd oiten an account. Let him bring any turn from $1 00 upward. Hand your money to the clerk here, tell him you want to open a Savings Account and he will make you cut a book, showing your deposit, and give it to you. You can get thi* money back again any time you want It. While it !a here. It is earning you 3 per cent interest, and two times a year wc compound it for - you.
