EXAMS.
FOR $50 STUDENTS

The Patterson examinations were
held in the Canton high school build
ing Saturday. There were about 150
pupils of the township schools of
Stark county resent. Professors
Frank M. Sweizer and NJ. +. McFarren,
OF the Canton schools, and Prof. J. W.
Guthrie, of Alliance, conducted the ex-
animation.
Some of the neaw features of the
Paterson law are that the questions
are prepared by the state school COM
missioner and not by the county board
as formerly. This makes a uniform
ity of question lists throughout the
state. The passing grade or stan sard
is liked by law and not as before by
the county board. The times of the
examinations also are settled by
statute.
There are two of these examinations
each year. The first Is to be held the
third Saturday in April and the next
on the second Saturday Of May The
successful candidate can attend, free
of tuition, any high school in the state
II the township board does not spec
ify ap articular one.
THE branches are the same as for
merly," said one of the examiners,
though the questions are perhaps a
little more comprehensive than when
the county examiners prepared them. y
Arithmetic, grammar, COMPOSITION,
history and civil government, physi-
ology, orthography, reading. writing
and geography are the branches on
which the students are examined.

terially damaged.
In connection with the Cleveland
bill naming board of revision at the
request of an auditor, 1t ought not
to be lost sight of that 1t might af-
feet Canton. II the Democrats elect
majority of the council next year
that majority will elect its kind of
board of equalization. 1t can elect
all Democrats If 1t wants to, but that
has not been the custom. 1t has been
the custom of Canton Democrats to
put a Republican and a Democrat on
the board each year. When the Re-
publicans get in they usually take
everything in sight. This is where the
Democrats are foolish and the Repub-
licans are not. But that is not what
is sought to be set forth here. In the
event that the Republican auditor Of
Stark county does not like the work
of the city board of equalization, he
can ask for a board of revision and
the governor of the state and the at
torney general will appoint one. In
Cleveland the auditor is certain to ask.
In Stark county he may or he may
not.
The passage Of the appropriation
bills in the house does not necessari-
ly settle the matter. The senate
must concur and there Is certainty
that the senate will not concur in
everything. Some institutions have
been allowed too much money and
some too little in the bill that carries
them all, and the senate will try to
regulate this condition. 1t will go in.
to the board of revision business it
self Some of its amendments will
be concurred in by the house but there
is likely to be quarrel before it is
over.
In the meantime adjournment is be-
ing talked of. If the appropriations
get through some time during the
week there would be no trouble in
getting an adjournment next Monday,
but there is the matter of redistricting
the state. The bill has passed the
house to change the Twelfth district

not concur, and a conference has been
secured. The conference committees
have been working for some days but
are still apart. The senate is in favor
of leaving the districts just as they
are, hence its committee is not doing
much talking Ii the house bill chang
ing the Twelfth Is not concurred in
it dies, and the districts will be just
as they are anyway, which is what the
senate wants. So its committee has an
easy time standing pat. The conflict
on this point will interfere with ad-
Iournment and it does not appear now
that there will be an ad-
journment till May 8. 1t is altogether
probable that May will be the date
of adjournment.

tax valuation has been paying into

the west end of the county across the
canal and Tuscarawas river. There
are 40 or so big bridges there that cost
in the aggregate over a quarter of n
million dollars.
Canton has not had bridge built
for ten years, and her structures are
very modest ones compared with those
Of Massillon and the west end. They
must be afraid over there that IL Can

a graft Canton pays thousands OF
dollars right along not only to build
bridges in Massillon and vicinity, but
also to plank and repair them. She

as Massillon and gets about one-tenth
as much in return for it."

said an attorney, as he was laying in
his daily supply of two-fers. Prices
are something horrible. I asked a
painter to give me a price on painting
my house the other day, and he asked
me $173. I would have paid 500, but
the extra $73 is what queered the deal.
"The painters explanation was that
linseed oil which formerly sold for
30 cents gallon, is now retailing at
20 cents"

up the druggist who had sold the
cigars. THE price has more than
doubled, and great many are substi

cheaper SUBSTITUTE.

a car the other afternoon. That she was
from the country was evident from her
anxious face, the old-fashioned cut and
appearance of her clothing, but espe-
cially from large market basket,
which sat at her feet and which she
frequently regarded with furtive
glance. She was looking impatiently
up the. street for the expected car.
Her eyes were off the basket. There
was sudden scratching, quick rus
tie and out from the basket came a
large Plymouth Rock hen. Both were
surprised; the hen was frightened,
the woman confused. Then with
terrified cacltle the freed hen went
careening down the street. A Green
town and New Berlin car rounded the
corner and the woman relinauished
pursuit reluctantly, gathered up her
basket end got aboard.
