An innovation at the senior high school is the hand book containing the p-ogram of studies, curricula and information for pupils and parents. Among other bits of information in the handbook Is a paragraph concerning home study. "All pupils In the Senior high school should expect to do some home study work regularly and parents are asked to co-operate. A majority of the failures in school work are traceable to Irregularity in study. Pupils should forego social activities on evenings preceding a school day." Concerning the social life of the school the booklet says: "It is the aim of the school to provide proper social activities for the entire student body. The social life of the school is under the direction of a committee of the faculty composed of the dean for girls and the sponsors of the three classes. "This committee will formulate such rules and regulations as are deemed necessary to insure the character and conduct of all school social activities. The dean will be in charge of the school social calendar and no date may be set for any student activity except with her approval." Miss Lanning Is Dean.

HARLAN RECOMMENDS THAT COUNTY ACCEPT OFFER FOR ANNUITY

Denver C. Harlan, county attorney, stated Monday that he would recommend to county council, which began Its regular two day session in the forenoon, that it accept a recent offer of $50,000 of Liberty bonds, the proceeds from which to be applied to the construction of a hospital at Smithfield, the, county tuberculosis institution. Names of the persons making the of fer have not benn revealed. Under tbe terms of the proposal $50, oOOO ff Liberty bonds bearing 4 per cent interest were to be turned over to the county with the proviso that the( county appropriate a like amount forj the construction of the hospital. The parties making the offer ask that in exchange for the $50,000 of Liberty bonds, they receive a like amount of county bonds, bearing the same rate of interest, but with theproviso that these bonds be liuldated on the deaths of the parties receiving them. Contract to be Considered "I think this offer should be taken The only question involved will be the I form of contract to be entered into be-i tween the county and the persons making the proposal. That can be satisfactorily arranged, I am sure," Mr. Harlan said. The 1921 county budget, which was up for consideration at the county council meeting Tuesday, was prepared before the offer concerning the Smithfield institution was made and as a result, the appropriations for that institution incorporated In the pending budget provided a total of only $30,000, of which amount $25,000 for repairs and equipment and $5,000 for the maintenance of the hospital farm. Mr. Harlan states that by threefourths majority the council can Increase the appropriation for the institution to $50,000, which is required under the terms of the offer made to the county. It is expected the council will discuss the Smithfield Institution question at its session Tuesday afternoon. 1921 Budget $455,980.50. The 1921 budget carries appropriations totalling $455,980.50 as against the current budget of $393.06.14. Incidentally the 1920 budget has not been sufficient to meet certain necessary expenses. As a result the council after its regular session will immediately assemble in special session for the purpose of considering additional appropriations to tide the county government over the remainder of this year. These additional appropriations total $24,435.64. They will be provided for by transfers from the general fund. Included among the additional appropriations for this year is an item of $937.50 for deputy hire for the county clerk for four and a half months, an item of $562.5 for deputy hire for the county auditor for the same period. Hitherto these two officials have been required to pay the salaries of their deputies out of their own salaries. Deputy Hire for Clerks The legislature at its recent special session passed a law which authorizes appropriations of $2,500 per year for deputy hire for clerks, in a county the size of Wayne, and $1,500 per year for deputy hire for the auditor. The county's 1921 budget contains such appropriations. The salary of the clerk. $3,700 a year, and the salary of the auditor, $3,900, remain the same. One of the additional appropriations for this year Is for $2,500 to provide the county treasurer a six percent fee for the collection of delinquent taxes. The appropriation for this purpose in the 1920 budget was $3,000 but that amount has already been exhausted. There is to be an additional appropriation of $4,000 for the expenses of the general election in the county in November. An item of $20 is included among the additional appropriations as payment of bounty for the scalp of a wolf, killed several months ago. Several thousand dollars in additional appropriations are provided for necessary bridge repairs.

It is estimated that 400 of the largest metal works in Italy have been occupied by mechanics and workers, and the government is still expanding threatening fo extend to the extreme southern end of the peninsula. Try to Preserve Order. Elaborate steps have been taken by the government to preserve order during the period when a general of iensive against all industries is threatened. Manufacturers declared that the wage increase demanded by the 500.000 metal workers employed by them would add at leact 1,000,000 lire to their payroll, and that this burdtn could not be maintained. Strikers in this city believed last night that an effort would be made by the police to take possesion of some plants that had been occupied by workers.

All night armored cars and armed cyclists patrolled the streets and machine guns were placed in dominating' positions along thoroughfares, while the idly curious were driven from the streets by carabineers. The police were watching every section of the city and were prepared for any eventuality. This activity led the strikers to expect an attack, and they lighted i flares outside of the buildings they occupied, but the police and soldiers evidently had been' ordered to merely keep watch ana prevent surprise attacks. All banks are strictly guarded and their staffs are armed at all times.

I. H. C. MAY AGAIN FACE U. S. COURTS, SAYS COMMISSION

By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Methods alleged by the Federal trade commission to have been used by manufacturers of farm implements to advance prices through "concerted action" are described, it became known today, in a report of the commission's investigation which was authorized by the senate. The commission announced last night that it had - recommended the re-opening of anti-trust proceedings against the International Harvester company and the institution of court proceedings against implement manufacturers and dealers, who the commission asserted, have illegally increased prices. Its investigation, the trade commission declared, disclosed that between 1914 and 1918 prices of farm implements advanced 73 per cent. Advances In the costs and expenses of manufacturers and dealers did not warrant the commission said, an increase of this amount. Price Comparison Meetings. Discussing methods which the com mission charges officers and members of implement manufacturers' associations used to bring about and maintain high price levels the report states that "price comparison meetings" were held at which "advances in prices recently made or intended to be made were discussed." Meetings also were held. It is charged, at which "inflated costs were compared with the tacit understanding that prices would be advanced the same percentage shown by the inflated costs," and at which "agreements were made respecting uniform terms" and the "standardization of implements and equipment." The commission's report further states that members of manufacturers' associations made use of "frequent exchange of price lists by mail so that members could check up on each other's prices, terms and equipment furnished," and that letters were sent "urging low-price numbers to increase their prices." Arrive at Uniform Profits. "By these methods," the commission asserts, "beginning with meetings held in February, 1916, and continuing through 1918, the maufacturers often arrived at uniform percentages of increases to be applied first to one and then another line of implements. "That the officers and members of the manufacturers' associations realized," the report continues, "that they were engaged in illegal activities is indicated by the attempted secrecy they sought to throw over all price activities."

b100re gives testimony FUNDPROBERS Names Men Whom, He Says, Heads Fundsmen of G. 0. P. Clashes Frequent During

eannsz. IS CHALLENGED OFTEN (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept 7. In answering direct questions of Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, chairman of the senatorial campaign probe committee, here today for names of men who knew about an Ohio fund, E. H. Moore, of Youngstown, went Into a long explanation of his understanding of a Republican fund organization. He said it was headed by Colonel Thompson and had as its state chairman a man whom the Republican bulletin described as "of commanding influence." He said Fred Miller, of Columbus, was state chairman, and, like other state chairmen, he had appointed chairmen of local ways and means committees. "I found that usually in Ohio these local chairmen were manufacturers," said Mr. Moore. Reiterates Quota Charges The witness reiterated the charge that specific quotas were assessed against local communities, and then said: "But these local organizations were largely 'scenery.' The real workers for funds were paid men, headed by Harry M. Blair, assistant to Mr. Upham." He said Blair had under him "certain divisional directors" in charge of sections of the country, and that two of them were C. W. Lee and Henry E. Owens. "These are the professional moneyraisers," said Mr. Moore. "In Iowa the paid director is Irving Norwood, of Davenport," said Mr. Moore. Says He Isn't the Man. "That is not the man," interjected Mr. Upham, who from the sidelines was an interested listener. "Well, Mr. Upham. can you give us the name of the Iowa director?" said Mr. Moore. He then named John Kelly, Ohio, Carl Fritsche, Michigan, and Charles K. Mavity, W. Va.. as other paid directors. To the public these paid directors are camouflaged as executive secretaries of the ways and means committees," 6aid the witness. A "battalion of moppers up" is also a part of the Republican finance organization, according to Mr. Moore. He said these men went in after the organization headed by Colonel had collected from the "cream list." Names "Moppers Up." Mr. Moore said that one of these "moppers up" was A. A. Protzman, of the Holland Hotel. Cleveland, and that another. Edmond Silverbrand. of Youngstown. had left town after ht? had heard that a request had been filed for a subpoena calling him before the committee. Senator Kenyon asked for more about the alleged Ohio quota. "Governor Cox said that $500,000 was raised in the twinkling of an eye," the senator said quoting from the governor's Wheeling address. "Yes, and I have heard it was more than that," said Mr. Moore. "In my own town of Youngstown. $72,000 was raised more than a month ago." The committee is not seeking the best evidence to prove Gov. Cox's charges against the Republican party, Mr. Moore, told the committee. Moore told Senator Kenyon there were men better able to tell of the Republican plans than either he or Gov. Cox, and asked why Col. William M. Boyce Thompson, of N. Y., chairman of the Republcan ways and means committee, and the 60 men of j the paid organization were not called, j Governor Cox has no evidence in support of his charges, outside of what Moses brought to Chicago with him, the witness said. As he spoke he unfolded a massive brief case and took out a stack of papers that apparently numbered several hundred sheets. "Have you all the leads Governor Cox has." Senator Kenyon asked. "I couldn't say as to that." He didn't ask you to give us Just a part of his Information?" "Certainly not, but the Republican bulleti and the Republican papers, furnished all the leads necessary." Mentioning Name of Blair Governor Cox sent him to Chicago, Mr. Moore said, to give the committee the list, from when the senator could get the information to 6uportp the Governor's charges. He mentioned Hary M. Blair, first assistant to Fred Upham, Republican National treasurer, and several others employees of Mr. Upham's office. "Governor Cox has no evidence outtide what you have brought to us," Senator Kenyon continued. "I think not." Signs of friction developed when Chairman Kenyon questioned Mr. Moore about an Interview he gave newspapers last Thursday, when he appeared to testify but was cot called. The chairman asked him if he had said that the committee was afraid to call him to tbe stand, and if he had said the committee was not seeking the evidence to prove Governor Cox's charges. "I did not," the witness explained. "You don't need to get angry," said Senator Kenyon. - - "I am not gstting angry, said Moore. "What I said was that you were not seeking the best evidence, and I say it again; you are not!" "Did you say if the committee wants to it can get the men here who will prove the falsity or truth of Governor (Continued on Page Ten)
