Agricultural fair and Rural children are not allowed to attend the same as city children who have no interest in farming. WHY! It isn't fair. We are hearing a lot about the rural children not having the opportunities of the city children, but as a farmers wife and a patron of rural schools I want to tell you that it isn't our fault, or our teachers, for If a pupil is absent they are cfttapelled to give them ah absent mark, and we do not want that. Do not think our children do not want to attend.

KAISER’S RETURN HELD PROBABLE Some Quarters Believe The Former Emperor’s Wife Is Urging His Return Berlin, Sept. 9. —(U.R)— Many indications were seen by political observers here today that the former Kaiser contemplated returning to Germany. No laws exist in the new republic to prevent his doing so, now that the “protection of the republic law” has lapsed. It was believed here for the last few weeks that what made the former emperor hesitate to return from his exile in Holland was his fear of the consequences if he threw himself into the midst of a country at present divided on the advisability of his return. Although most of the people of the land apparently are against his return. a sizeable number still believe that if the former kaiser were back at the helm all of Germany’s ills would disappear. Well-informed people in Holland believe that the former kaiser’s spouse. Princess Hermine, is the directing power behind the movement to restore the Hohenzollern dynasty to Germany. In Doorn the princess is only a noble lady with severe attacks of ambition. In Germany she would be the first lady of the land, perhaps without the ambition. The only thing which makes cer-

tain quarters believe the former kaiser will not budge from his Holland retreat is the fact that he is now an old man, completely dissillusioned about many things, including ruling Germany. To try to reestablish the empire might be an effort not to bls liking. Wilhelm's younger wife, with more energy and probably with more social ambitions, holds other ideas and may prevail, although observers here think otherwise. I ILLNESS CAUSE OF MISTRIAL Textile Workers Trial Is Called Off After Juror Suffers Breakdown Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 9— (U.R>—The trial of 16 textile workers charged charged with murder of Police Chief Aderholt of Gastonia, was ended in a mistrial here today, on account of the collapse of one of the jurors. Judge M. V. Barnhill ordered the mistrial, but a few minutes later he suspended his order, while defense attorneys conferred on ways and means of averting such a collapse. Judge Barnhill took this action today, after J. C. Campbell, newspaper vendor and one of the jurors, suffered a nervous collapse on his way to today's session, which would have opened the third week of the spectacular trial. Solicitor John Carpenter told the United Press he had asked Governor

Gardner to call another special term of court beginning Sept. 30 to try the case again. The North Carolina statutes require drawing of a jury panel 20 days before the special term ot superior court. Deputy Sheriff Johnson reported Campbell fought and screamed as four deputies tried to calm him and struck savagely at them as they took him to a cell. Campbell was the fourth juror accepted. He amused spectators during his examination by pointing dramatically to the heavens saying, "1 believe in law'and my good God.” Dr. John Q. Myers, took the witness stand when court convened today and said he treated Campbell shortly after 5 a. m. and found him crying and suffering from emotional shock. Myers said Campbell was mentally unbalanced and termed his illness as “acute emotional insanity.” The physician said he did not believe Campbell would be fft for further jury service. Deputy Sheriff Johnson took the witness stand and said on Friday night he was awakened by Campbell's screams. “He begged me to give him my pistol so he could end it all.” Johnson said. “Today I found him crawling under beds and it took all the strength I had to get him up on his feet.
