The Bear Trap.

manner. They had counted on being
able to borrow whatever stock was
necessary, but found that the holdings
centered in London. and that they had
to bid up to dislodge some investments
before they could get enough stocks 10

The effect was wholesome. II made
other shorts start covering. as stated
before, especially in Union Pacific Steel

Canadian Pacific opened 4 points Off
because .of the lessened demand. but a
few belated shorts showed up. and the
price was quickly run up on them TO ITO

To the School Directors OF Winnesheik
County,

AS the time for opening the schools
is near at hand it becomes imperative
that the certificate of every teacher
be examined to see whether it has
been registered in this county; to see
that it does not expire before the close
of the term for which you wish to
contract with the teacher, and to see
what grade it is equivalent TO.
Under the new law certificates are
good over the entire state but not
valid in any particular county unless
frst registered with the county super
intendent. School officers and teachers
are requested to observe the above
requirements, carefully, to avoid fu-
ture misunderstanding
Respectfully.
