State perintendent, Henry Sabin,
Iowa, in an address on the needs Of
the rural schools as to supervision,
said with much else that is sugges-
tive: ''The person who is chosen as
supervisor of rural schools should
have, in the highest degree, the quail
tiles of leadership. He must be both
thinker and a student. I would
rather have in a teacher one divine
spark of originality, ightened up by
enthusiasm and zeal in her work.

tanned in thousand pages of the

spires energy, awakens a desire to

FOR a TAX.
l. Cyclists use the roads and should

2. A cycle is luxury.
8. Cyclists constitute class Of traffic

dangers the timid pedestrian.
4. The possession Of il bicycle implies
means, which presents the prospect OF
getting the tax from tho rider.
5. Money must be raised from one
class or another for local purposes.
6. Some people tl,irk Il tax would
have the effect of supprcssing the care

Z. A tax would render registration

8. A majority of cyclists are Young
people who do not contribute to the lists
Of taxable property.
8. Some middle aged and old people
regard the growth of the lastime with
envy and jealousy, not being attuncd to
the age III which they live.
10. The pcrmancncc of cycling is not
assured and the taxation of bicycles Of
fcrs steady, increasing prospect of

AGAINST A TAX.
/. The cyclist does not wear out the
roads or leave offensive tracks, as does
the horse traffic. He docs not block or
impede traffic in any manner whatever.
g. A cycle, though frequently II lux
ury, is often Il necessity to the workman
and the business man as well.
g. The cyc]ist, although the careless
person often casts his body before his
wheel, always suffers with his victim
in person, machine and sometimes purse.
4. Cycling is pursued by rich and
poor alike, and Il uniform tax o., ma
chimes would press harShly on the poor

s. A tax upon an instrument of loco
motion not used solely for local pur-
poses would be costly to enforce, and
unless fixed at IN opprcssivcly high rate

g. The imposition of a tax on a pas
time and the enforcement of the law by
prosecutions and penalties arc unpopular
in sport loving country.
Z. Many persons keep cycle for oc-

City Treasurer elect Al S'm""''
Yesterday asked Kuht. Heron. me
former treasurer, to turn over the
hooks to him, and the latter refused
to comply with the request, so ther
is no doubt but the matter will now
have to he settled by the courts.
Mr.. Hprrun would shy nothing In
regard to the matter beyond the
statement that II Mr.. Sim"net can
show that he has complied with the
charter and il legally entitled t" the
office he |, willing to turn the books

Mr.. Simonet has employed j. H.
Rhodes az his attorney, and writ
Of munua,nus will in all probability
he asked for. to compel Mr.. Heron
to show by what right he still re-
tujus possession Of the books.
There is no spirit Of untriendlints ss
betw twern the newly elected treasurer
and the old one. MIR. Heron says
he thinks that SimUnet failed to
conform with the requirements oi
the charter in the matter uf filing f''H
hnnd. and as soon as it has been
shown to him tina he cannot he held
responsible. and that Mr.. S'ln""et

Mr.. Simunet ieeIS. Of course, that
he il entitled to the office for the
reason that he was duly elected to
it by n plurality Of the votes cast.
Attorneys. claim that there are II"
decisions in the courts OF this state
that completely cover the point at
issue in this case.
Heron claims that the require

which reads in substance "that any
officer who shall refuse or neglect for
ten dnys after notice OF his election

that Mr.. SimOnet, though having

THE COOKBOOK.

Stick three or four cloves of garlic in
leg of mutton that is to be roasted, or slice
half an onion in the basting juice, and
note the improvement in the flavor of the
dish.
Two small gastronomic hints are, to put
the merest suspicion of peppermint in a
French dressing for green salad, and to
grato fresh oocoanut over a dish OF fish
salad.
A nice flavor may be given to broilcd
steak by cutting an onion in halves and
rubbing the cut edges over the heated plat
ter intended for the steak. The platter
should contain a little melted butter.
A loaf of cake that has got stale and
dry may be freshened SO us to seem newly
baked cake by putting it in a tin, covering
the tin with another pan and leaving the
whole in a warm oven about 20 minuets.
The smaller the cut of meat the hotter
should be the oven in order that it's crust
may protect tho inside from drying out
OF course the time required for roasting r
small cut is roportionatcly less than that
needed for a large one.
