Twenty Gallons of Lard Stolen from Farmer Mystery surrounds the theft of twenty gallons of newly rendered lard in four stone jars which took place at the home of Guy Davenport, two miles south of town on the Boston pike. Three families in the neighborhood butchered on Tuesday and two of the farmers rendered their lard and left it in the butcher house on the Guy Davenport farm. On Tuesday morning it was gone. No trace of the robbers as been found. Sheriff Carr said it was a mystery how anyone could carry away so much hot lard. There were no signs of any wagon wheels. The butcher house is near the creek. Theories expounded by the farmers living near are that the thieves knew of the butchering and thought they would get the shoulders and hams. When they got to the butcher house they found that these had been taken to the house so they used the sacks which they had brought with them to put around the tops of the jars and took them away. Chicken feathers were found on the premises, which lead to the conclusion that the thieves were in the habit of carrying stolen chickens In the sacks.

LOCAL TEACHERS NOT AFFECTED BY PENSION CHANGE

Guy C. Sipple, president of the City Teachers' association said today that the teachers of this city would offer no protest to the proposed modification of the teachers' pension law as recommended by Governor Goodrich in his message to the legislature. The local school teachers are not affected by any present pension law, as the city schools have never accepted its provisions and President Sipple said that while he believed the Richmond teachers would advocate a state regulation of pension law so that a qualified teacher in any part of the state might be eligible, it was thought that because they are not affected by conditions they should offer no opposition. Organized opposition is being taken in other parts of the state. Tippecanoe county school teachers held a meeting in Lafayette Wednesday to protest against the proposal by the governor.

Four Thousand Tax Delinquents in City The tax campaign which is now being waged in Richmond is not progressing as it should be, according to tax expert Cosier. Mr. Cosier stated that persons do not seem to realize that they must pay delinquent taxes. They seem to have been spoiled by a campaign two years ago in which the collectors were rude and hasty and consequently made themselves generally disagreeable with the public.

Quarrel with Mother-in-Law Brings Man Into Police Court An hysterical mother-in-law, Mrs. Minnie Ribelin, told in city court Thursday of the alleged abuse of her son-in-law, Alfred Street. She said that he "choked her" and "lammed her down," and dragged her into a bedroom and pushed her on the bed, all because of a board bill amounting to 50 cents. Yesterday morning an argument arose about the board bill of Mr. and Mrs. Street. Mrs. Ribelin contended that her son-in-law owed her money, which he denied. She ordered him to leave the house. He attempted to settle the matter quietly, he tesifled; Mrs. Ribelin became hysterical and started to leave when her son-in-law took her into the bedroom to calm her. Officer Vogelsong went to the house. He testified that the woman was not injured but that she was hysterical and refused to settle the board bill as her daughter wished her to do. Mayor Zimmerman instructed the

family to separate . Ofiicer Vogelsong

was instructed to go to the house and

get the possessions of the daughter

and son-zn law.

Council of Defense Asked to Aid in Reconstruction - The Wayne County Council Defense has been called on by the Council of National Defense to participate in the work of readjustment and demobilization. Some of the tasks asked of the local councils are of an emergency and temporary nature, and most all relate to the welfare of the men released from the army. Permanent work for the local councils as outlined by the national council is to have to do largely with Americanizing the foreign-born in every community. The request has gone out to the local councils that they arrange to conduct an educational program including the public school classes In English, for every group of twenty foreign-born speaking people who desire it. Supplementary classes in English in factories at the noon hour, in night schools in settlements; extension work through cooking and similar classes and in the homes to reach foreign-born women, and extension work to bring the foreign-born in effective contact with the library facilities of the community; extension work to reach the returning foreign-born soldiers and sailors through the bureaus for returning soldiers, sailors and war workers.

BILL WOULD TAKE SCHOOL POSITION OUT OF POLITICS

Rothrock Urges Change in : Qualifications for County School Superintendent. Wayne county school teachers and citizens interested in education are watching with interest a bill that Representative David Rothrock, who is a professor at Indiana University, is prepared to introduce in the general assembly, which will change the qualifications for county superintendents and will attempt to take the position out of politics. 1J The measure provides that no person shall be eligible to the office of county superintendent unless a graduate of a standard college or standard normal school, maintaining a four years' course, and shall have completed and obtained college or normal school credits for not less than twenty semester hours of professional work for the training of teachers. The measure also would compel . the applicant to have had not less than three years' successful experience in public school work, and it further provides for the issuance of county superintendents' qualification certificates by the state board of education, as a pre-requisite to obtaining a county superintendency. To Pass on Qualifications. Power is given the state board of education, in the issuance of these certificates, to pass on the general qualifications of applicants for certificates to a degree that never has existed heretofore. Section 3 of the bill provides that "in electing county superintendents of schools, the township trustees shall consider only the qualifications of the respective candidates, and shall base their choice exclusively on merit, regardless of the political affiliations of the respective candidates." The measure also provides that "all county superintendents in office at the time when this act shall take effect, shall continue to serve for the term for which they were elected, unless removed for cause, and shall be eligible for re-election." This section apparently is written into the bill to obviate attacks on the measure -by county superintendents now in office who could not fulfill the requirements of the bill. The bill would take effect May 1, 1919, if enacted in its present form. It 6ays no word on the question of increased salaries for county superintendents, although it is understood aich a measure may be introduced in the assembly as usually is the case.
