No More Saloons to be Started in Lodi

Lodi is to have no more saloons. An
application was made some time ago
by Louis Wetmore to conduct saloon
there, and the hearing was postponed
from time to time. A couple of weeks
ago Rev. G. H. DeKay, of the Congre-
gational church, appeared before the
supervisors with a numerously signed
petition, but enough names were not
on it, and the board gave the revenend
gentleman two weeks in which to Sc
cure the requisite number.
In the meantime the man who wanted
the saloon got busy and interviewed a
number of those who had signed the
petition, and succeeded in having
eleven persons withdraw their names,
stating that they had signed it under
misrepresentation. The district at
torney, however, held that these sign
ers had no license to withdraw their
names, and the supervisors accordingly
denied the application.
In Sacramento county the board of
supervisors allowed a similar move in
the Conley case, allowing signers to
withdraw their names, and now the
people of San Joaquin are wondering
If the same laws are not applicable to
all parts of the state Sacramento Bee.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro
nOunced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney

tutional cure on the market. It is taken

Teachers Salaries.

The Stockton City Board of Educa-
ton has placed itself squarely on record
concerning the Compensation of teach
ers in the public schools. Incidentally
the members of the board. submitting
report, have hit upon so many topics
of general concern that their reasoning
and presentation of facts have more
than the ordinary interest. The mini
mum salary of Stockton's grade teach
ers is raised from $500 to $500 per an
mum, while the maxium grade salary
is raised from $3.50 to 5000. The sal
aries of the principals of the smaller
schools are increased from 5000 to $1,000
In the High school certain salaries are
advanced.
Among the conclusions reached by
the board some are worth attention
throughout the State. 1t is set up as
an axiom that among the requisites of
teachers are tact in management, an
even and kindly disposition and the
health, strength and ability AMI in
clination for constant improvement.
Added to these specifications the board
holds it to be essential that teachers
shall be possessed of moral character
above reproach and that they shall
have social training as shown in per-
sonal manners, habits and dress that
will present a good example to the
children.
The action of the board in raising
salaries is based upon several consid-
erations. Stated concisely, these are
that the growing compensation of the
Stockton teachers has not kept pace
with the higher standards of work de-
manded in the schools; that the more
extended training now required takes
from two to six years more time than
was formerly necessary to properly
equip the teacher; that during the pc
riod when the cost of living has in
creased there has been marked advance
in the salaries in all lines of professional
work with the exception of those for
teaching; that the time and expense
involved in becoming competent
teacher equal such outlays in fitting
for any other profession; that teachers
have right to support that bears a
just relation to the kind of work they
are doing and to the ability needed to
do it we'll.

Natural Gas In England.

According to recent Investigations of
the geological survey of Great Britain,
there are prospects that considerable
stores of natural gas may yet be fouAi
in southern England. 1t is known that
pockets of gas occur in the ~Wealden
and Purbe TX beds of Sussex, and they
have yielded in times past limited
quantities of gas. Below these beds
there are considerable thicknesses of
sands and sandstones. belonging to the
Portland series, which form natural
reservoirs and are worthy of investi
cation.

CONCRETE FENCE POSTS.
- Granite, Without Any Rein
fOrcement with Metal.

Dealers in Portland cement are ap-
parently unfamiliar with the idea OF
making fence posts out of concrete,
and cannot give precise figures inoi
eating how much stronger those would
be than wood. OF course, a good dea'
depends on the kind of wood EN-.
ployed. However, well made concrete
ought to be as hard as granite, even
without any reinforcement with metal.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune Farmer has suggested that a
post having a triangular shape, each
side tapering from five inches at one
end to three inches at the other, and
about seven and half feet long, would
prove a good thing. A New York
dealer in cement agrees with him, and
regards reinforcement with wires I'M
necessary.
Whatever screw eyes or other sup
ports for horizontal fence wires were
desirable ought to be inserted in the
mold at the beginning, for they could
not be introduced after the cement
had hardened. A V-shaped trough OF
the right length, and with sides CORE
spending to two sides of the post,
would make a good mold. The con-
crete could be squared off with a
lrowel even with the upper edges OF
the trough, so that the material would
need to be inclosed only on two sides.
AS the posts should remain in the
molds day or two before removal, it
might be wise to have a rather large
number of the latter, to prevent waste
of cement and to avoid prolonged de-
lay in the process of manufacture.
If a good grade of Portland cement
were used, satisfactory results should
be obtained from a mixture composed
of one part of cement, three of sharp
sand and five of fine broken stone
Only enough water should be used to
make a stiff mortar, being mixed first
with the cement. The sand and stone
should be thoroughly and evenly COM
bined with the other ingredients.
