COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

i The Jasper county board of education met in regular session last Monday with all members present except Davisson, of Barkley; Porter, of Carpenter, and LeFever, of Gillam. It was reported that Mr. Le- , Fever’s absence was due to the seri- ( ous illness of his wife. The session was very interesting > to trustees from the north, whose, levies had been cut from four to ( thirty cents. The heaviest cut came from the town school corporation of| Wheatfield, where it was reduced. from $1.20 on the hundred to 90 .cents. The township of Wheatfield was reduced 22 cents. Keener and Kankakee were both ravishly reduced. Rensselaer city was cut from ; 114 cents per hundred to 85. George . Ferguson, of Wheatfield, attended ■ the board meeting to look after the school interest in Wheatfield town. ■ R. A. Hopkins, of Rensselaer city, ■ ; came in at the eleventh hour tp find i > relief for the school city of Rensse-

laer. The following corporations, 1 through their trustees, petitioned the state board of tax commissioners for relief; Wheatfield township, Wheat-J field town, Kankakee township, Keener township, Walker township and. Rensselaer' city. Mr. Simms, presi’dent of the tax board, in conjuncti.Qji. with. othgr jumbers of the tax board, met the school men of the state in the house of represents-' tives last Friday. Governor Good-' rich sat in the honorary chair beside Mr.. Simins. At this meeting definite arrangements were made; whereby grievances from any school. corporation in the state would be 1 heard on Monday and Tuesday for the purpose of redrafting the previ-, ously recommended levy. Auditor Hammond has his tax duplicate practically all made ready for the treasurer the first of January. This will necessitate clerical changing for every newly recommended levy should the state tax board recommend revisions for the relief asked ■in these .petitions. The petitions will be heard Tuesday of this week. The board then considered the rural conference that will be held in Rensselaer Thursday November 13th. All trustees will be present and a large crowd is expected here that ' day. It is very likely that ,the Gayety will be used since all indications are that a large crowd will be in attendance to hear Superintendent Hines, Burris, Wetherow'and Smith. Trustee Fairchild, of Keener ship, has fitted his faculty with a "very strong corps of teachers in the high school and grades. All of his teachers in the grades have had at least thirty-six weeks’ professional training and. three of hid high school teachers are college or normal graduates. This fits DeMotte out with a teaching staff in harmony with

its fine new building very recently' eomplete'd. A Mr. Lloyd Jones, of Springfield, Mo., was employed by Mr. Fairchild last week. Mr. Jones is a degree man from Princeton. Miss Margaret Marshall, the principal, is a graduate of Leland Stanford and Miss Addie Harris, is a graduate of our state'normal, school. This gives variety to the faculty that is probably envied by schools of DeMotte’s size in the state. Children in Keener township can obtain an education inferior to none in the county when under the daily cotact of teachers who have graduated from schools of that type. Paul Ashby, of Tefft, continues to guide the community ideals there in a way that is meriting him confidence. - The parent-teachers’ organization has a genuine educational color under his guidance. Prof. A. C. Campbell, of Fair Oaks, has the school there moving along very nicely. Mr. Campbell was handicapped for a while during the worry over the death of their infant child some time back. Every teacher in the Fair Oaks faculty has measured up to the requirements of the state board. The country schools have moved along with exceptional efficiency so fa rthis year. The spirit of success and .the determination not to fail among the teachers of their first year’s experience is very hope-: ful this year. The schools are doing a wonderful patriotic as well as educational service by- purchasing war savings stamps. Jasper county stands well to the front, nearly doubling any of her adjoining counties. Frances Hibbs, of Union township, wa scompelled to resign her school at Center on account of her need in her own home. Miss Hibbs was teaching a very good school and ft was a great disappointment to her to resign.

BE RID OF THAT ACHE.

■ ' If you are a sufferer with lame back, backache, dibbiness, nervousness and kidney disorders, why don’t you try the remedy that your own . neighbors recommend? Ask your ' neighbor. I Mrs. R. E. Scott, Van Rensselaer street, Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’j| Kidney Pills whenever my kidneys have become disordered and I give them credit for the excellent health I now enjoy. By putting my kidneys in good condition, Doan’s have saved me from the suffering I used to have from the ' steady ache• across my kidneys, pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan’s are 1 fine and I advise anyone troubled as I was to use them.” | Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Scott had.

WELCOMED AS RIGHT SORT

Newcomer's Record Made Him <ll* j gibie to Inner Clrotea of Indk i ana’s Big Penitentiary. Frank P. Lltschert, secretary to Governor Goodrich, spent several days at the state prison, Michigan City, recently, and being fortunate enough to get out again ‘is telling the following yarn: Warden Fogarty of the prison-Hkes to make as easy as he can the hard lot of the prisoners, and has arranged for ball games at intervals within the prison walls. Convicts form the teams, and while there 14 some difficulty in getting one to act as umpire, the games usually are pulled off in good style. A visitor from South Bend was at the prison one day when a game was scheduled, and being a former ball player It was suggested that he put on the prison uniform and get into the game “Incog” and put a little professional “pep” into It. Eventually the “ringer” was all fitted out and was placed in the lot. He was sitting on the bench when a typical convict “hard guy” swaggered up to him and sympathetically inquired: “Hello, bol What ya in fer?’ The outsider was nonplused, but recovering In a moment he replied: “Oh, I beaned a guy.” "Did ya put ’lm clean out?" again .Inquired the hard guy, with professional' interest. “Yep,” said the ringer. Whereupon the convict, fraternal to the core, gleefully “Atta boy I”—lndianapolis News.

HAVE NEW SENSE OF DUTY

America Probably Has Taught Much to French Women of the Highest Social Position. They were handing out pots and pans to the returned refugees’ at Reims that day. It Was really a very gay occasion, says Blanche Brace in World Outlook. The pots and pans made It so, in spite of the ghosts of dead homes (mere hollow shells of ruined houses) all around the shattered building where the distribution was being made, the broken cathedral over yonder, the miles of desolation everywhere. Sometimes ths refugee women •hugged the cheap utensils to them and crooned over them as if they had been children; sometimes they wanted to pay a few centimes “rent” for them, vo that they might feel the things were their own. These were not just pots and pans, but the promise of comfort and security again, the nucleus for new homes that should rise from the i ruins. ~ A countess with smudged fingers, and half a dozen other French women of prestige, stood behind the counter and handed out the utensils. All at once a middle-aged, homely mere dropped her pan with a clatter. “Mon Dleu I” she gasped, “is she a countess? And I fought with her for a bigger pot! And working so hard—what does it mean?” Wffat It meant was that France learned two new words from America during the war —social service.

Smallest Bank In the World.

There is a saying among country people that “the smaller the bank the safer the money,” and therefore the Wake County Savings bank, at Raleigh, N. C., should be the safest bank In America, since It is the smallest. Of course, it is a trifle larger than a sock and easier to get money out of than the tin .banks or-the china pig?, of one’s childhood, but It manages to gather in a very great deal of money in the minimum space. As a matter of fact, originally the space occupied by the bank was a hallway into the building back of it. Some changes in the architecture of the place made the hallway unnecessary, and so the savings bank decided, on an “office” there. Now it is a “regular bank,” with an imposing entrance—and that is about all. Its frontage, to be exact, is 7% feet.

"Bachelor of Commerce.”

The plan of the University of London to grant degrees'-in commerce is attracting much attention. Under this -scheme 4a pregvc'yj tc grant the- de- - gree of bachelor of commerce to candidates who pass the necessary examinations after a three years’ course of study. Those who so desire may later proceed to the degree of master of ■: commerce, after a minimum of two } years’ practical experience in the par- , tlcular trade or industry taken up. • The first year’s course comprises the : compulsory subjects of organization of industry, banking, trade and transport; modem economic development of the British empire and of the chief foreign cduntries; elementary commercial law, and statistical method. The second and final year will be devoted to specialization.' . . V .x-v.’- '

Placing Himself.

Luther Burbank, Thomas A Edison, has had his brain incorporated and capitalized. He has done many wonderful things, one of the biggest the perfecting of the spineless cactus, which is a great cattle food Staple. Also to his credit are th< Shasta daisy, the stoneless prune and the seedless grape. His patienoe l» wonderful and they say that ht one time he raised 50,000,000 lillfes to get a single half dozen that were perfect “No wonder tfcef call you the •wizard’ ,of California,” remarked a Los Angeles Reporter once. Burbank laughed* and replied: “They might better tall me the gizzard of California."
