COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

There is an exceptional demand for ' high school teachers who hold the qualifications necessary for the schools of commissioned standing. The new law requires these schools to have in the faculty of 'high school teachers at least two who are college graduates. Men teachers possessing these qualifiicatipns are very scarce and when found are demanding and commanding a wage so high that it becomes exceptionally burdensome upon a school corporation to pay the salary asked. Kankakee township consolidated was very fortunate in securing Prof. Paul W. Aslhlby, who will graduate from the four years’ course at the Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute this summer. Prof. John D. Matt, of DeMotte, will teach for Clifford Fairchild and he possesses the required qualifications in this school. A Miss Celia Steifel has been secured in the Fair Oaks schools as one of the qualified teachers. To date Tefft, DeMotte and Fair Oaks each lack a teacher possessing these necessary legal qualifications. There are other 'high school teachers already employed in these schools, but they do not hold the necessary credentials to justify a commission for these schools. County Superintendent Sterrett called upon the state department for a list of available teachers of the required credentials and found but five in their list of thirty licensed 'high school teachers. However, the (trustees and county superintendent are exerting every possible way to get these teachers before school opens September Bth. The county board of education will meet Monday to adopt collateral text books to be used in Jasper county the coming year. Extraordinary emphasis will 'be given to civics in the grades the coming year. The new township institute books may -be gotten at this * time. The institute outlines have arrived at the Office of the county superintendent also.

DEMANDS PRIVATE CAPITAL BE ELIMINATED FROM ROADS.

Washington, August 4.—Organized labor dame out today with the unequivocal, formal demand that , private capital be retired from the railroads. A tri-pamtite control composed of ithe public, the operating management and the employes is demanded , 1 instead. Addressed to the American public 'and signed by the engineers, the ■ firemen, ithe conductors and the American Federation of Labor, a formal statement wais issued announcing this proposal, which will be carried before congress Wednesday. “It marks,” says the statement, “the step by which organized labor ! passes from demands for wage in- | creases to demands that the system of profits in industry be overhauled.” This sentence sums up in a few words the proposal, of which there 'have been hints and indications, but ( which is now laid before the country for the first time. Everywhere in official Washington it is recognized as the most serious and far-reaching proposition the country will ibe called : on to face. I Characterizing the proposal as labor’s bill,” it is put forth as a rem- | edy for the high cost of living, because the railroads are the key industry of the nation. It demands the genuine co-opera-tion and partnership 'based on a real ■ community of interest and partici- ! patioin in control,” of which President Wilson Spoke to congress and which the statement says has been ignored iby labor the private owners of the “We ask,” it says, “that the railroads of (the United States be vested in the public; that those actually engaged in conducting industry; not from Wall Street, but from lie.” 'Briefly, labor’s nlan demands: That the privfte owners receive fixed interest return for every honest dollar that they have invested. That .the tri-partite control, heretofore ref eared (to, be established, in corporations which shall lease the roads and in. Which the public, the operating managements and labor shall be represented equally. I That the public, the operators and the wage earners shall share equally all revenue in excess of 'the guarantee to private capital, by ' granting to the operators and the ■employes one-half the savings which are expected to be made by such a perfected organization, and to the public the other half as consumers, either by increasing service ! without adding costa or by reducing rates. >

HAYS’ REFUSAL BRINGS OUT GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATES.

Indianapolis, Ind., August 4.— A. free-for-all seems to have opened immediately following the announcement (by Will H. Hays, republican national chairman, that he will not be a candidate for the nomination for governor and ’ the names of a number of candidates are expected to be announced soon. Major Ed. Jackson, who resigned as lieutenant governor Ito join the army, is the latest candidate. It seems to be taken for granted that Warren T. McCray will announce his candidacy, although no definite statement has been made thus far. Mr. McCray is a farmer and as such will' 'be depended on to receive the farmer vote. He seems to be the general favorite among republicans and it Is generally believed his chances of receiving the nomination are excellent.

.The name of John McCardle, a member of the public service commission, as a possible candidate was frequently mentioned immediately after Mr. Hays made his announcement. Mr.' McCardle was mentioned some time ago, but discussion of (the possibility of his becoming a candidate was dropped during the period when it was assumed that Mr. Hays would seek the nomination. The statement also has been made that Mr. McCardle may 'become Mr. McCray’s campaign manager. Edward Toner, of Anderson, is again 'being frequently mentioned, although the mention of (his na!me does not seem to meet with much favor. He has been mentioned for governor almost since the last campaign, but .his boom has not gained mudh headway. Lieut. Gov. Edgar D. Bush is already making a campaign for the nomination. He does not seem to be getting very far, however. He attended the meeting of editors and party workers at Magnesia Springs and his reception was rather cool. He announced that 'he would open head quarters here soon and tijat (he. intends to make an extensive speaking campaign in the State. Senator Harry H. Negley, of Indianapolis, will make a campaign for the nomination for lieutenant governor. He seems at this time to be the only candidate seriously seeking this nomination. The race for the nomiination for treasurer is attraeting most of the attention among the minor offices. Among the candidates are Uz McMurtrie, the present treasurer; Bert Morgan, who is employed in the ofipublic instruction; Dave Scott, of Linton, second district chairman; Ben Urbahns, deputy state treasurer, and Ora Davies, of Kokomo. L. S. Bowman, of Richmond, deputy state auditor, seems to be the only serious contender for the office of auditor of sftate. U. S. Lesh, assistant attorney gerfertal, is pushing his campaign for attorney general and John Edwards, a Mitchell attorney, is also seeking the nomination. William A Roach, secretary of state; L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, and Will H. Adams, reported of the supreme count, seem .thus far to 'have 4 clear road to renominatibn, although opposition may develop at any time.

AMERICANS SORT MAIL IN FORMER KAISER’S OFFICE.

American soldiers employed in the United States postoffice in Coblenz have been sorting mail in schoolrooms Which, during the early days of the war, were used by the then German emperor fbr holding councils of war with his chiefs. Soon after the beginning of the war in 1914, the emperor was in 'Coblenz several months, spending several hours each day with army generals, who were then using the school house as an army headquarters. The school building is near the center of town and several large rooms on the first floor were taken over flor the army postoffice a few days after the Americans took over the Coblenz bridgehead last December.

RENSSELAER TO HAVE NEW STEAM LAUNDRY.

James McCallum, of Logansport, has made arrangements to open a steam laundry in Rensselaer as soon as a new building can be erected for the purpose. "He has made arrangements with M. Kanne for a ’building on Mr. Kanne’s lot across the street from Herath’s poultry house on the ground where Mr. Kanne’s bam now stands. The bam will be moved onto the lot next to Mir. Kanne’s residence and converted into a twostory building either of stucco or brick veneer. It will be occupied by Mr. 'McCallum.

INDIANA READY TO OPEN WAR ON PRICES.

Ele Stansbury, attorney general of this state, declared Monday that he is ready and willing to open war on the 'high cost of living. He declared that if any violations of the Indiana anti-trust law can be discovered, he will exert himself to the utmost to prosecute the violators. “Indiana has a strong law to protect combinations in restraint of trade,” Said Mr. Stansbury. “I shall prosecute the Law with vigor if it is found that any set of interests are in any way restraining production or have combined to force up ithe price of commodities. Many rumors have come to this office that illegal practices are in Vogue. Several months ago an investigation was started by this office into the operations of one particular industry and this information is on file.”

There were four young mien and four girls in the party. The river was dragged for two hours before the body was recovered. The parents of the young man were away from 'home at the time of the accident, and all attempts to reach them (by telephone were futile, and they did not hear of their son’s death until they arrived home late in (the evening. Besides the parents he is survived by two brothers, Bitter and Frank. A boat used by Chief of Police Scherer, of Lafay-, ette, was used to search for the body.
