Lost BY a Fraction.
A remarkable thing happened In the
election for a special tax for school pur.
poses in Geneva county The tax was
lost by one-fifth of a vote. The law says
that the vote to levy the tax in any
county must be carried by three-fifths
vote. The total in the Geneva election
was 542, 1926 for and 2l7 against. Three
fifths of the total is, therefore, 1925 10, just
one-fifth more than received. The
state department of education is greatly
chagrinned at the result. Superintendent.
Hill and his associates were told that
there would be no trouble in Geneva, so
did not lend aid to the movement. which
is done In all cases where the fight is ct
all tightly drawn.

of the chamber.
Mr.. Greeley served three months in the
