The state supreme court ousted
the American Book Company til S
week from operating in this state on
the ground that the. company had
failed to comply with the law that
requires the company to obtain a
charter in this state before dol g
business. Crane & Co. of Topeka,
are fighting this book trust. 1t is
alleged that this decision annuls Il c
contract with the American Book
Company awarded by the state text
book commission, whereby thai
company was to supply the schools
of the state with readers, geogra-
phies and physiologies. The com
pany will apply for a charter, but
Crane & Co. will fight this on the
ground that the American Book
Company is trust. The litigation
that will arise will likely make the
adjustment-though favorable to
the American Book Co. finally, toe
late for that company to supply the
books this year, entailing loss to
the company, it is estimated, ol
more than SIoo, 900.

Pasfurin3 Cattle.

The price for summer grazing in
Meade County this year ranges from
20 to 80 cents per head per month.
Previous years cattle were pastured
for 10 to IS cents per head per
month. In an article in this pa
per last week we were not definite
enough on the point of summer
pasturage. The prices for winter
feeding runs from 81 to 81 per head
per month last winter. This was
owing to the scarcity of feed. Or
dinarily the price for winter feeding
is not over IS cents per head per
month.

Rev. Reace conducted the devotional exer-
cises Friday morning.
DIR. Nichols was very kind to the Normal
ties, especially the physiology class, some of
the girls or one might have accompanied him
to the train.
1t is sincerely hoped by all the teachers
that Miss Martin will be reelected this fall.
She has filled the Office as few can and has
certainly used excellent care and judgment in
selecting an instructor and conductor for this
do the best for all concerned.
Twenty-Five teachers took the examination
