Som. Teachers Failed to Come

County School Superintendent Lin
ooln Savage has worked out as de-
merit system for his teachers for not
attending institute this year ana
under this rule five teachers In
Josephine county have fallen under
his critical eye. The following are
the names of the teachers given these
demerits: Miss Loleta Norton,
Principal in school district No. !:
Selma; Miss Myrtle Moore, Primary
and Intermediate grades teacher.
Selma Miss Anna Fiester, District
No. IS, Kerby; Mrs. Grace Dix
District No. Al, Holland; Miss Edna
Disbrow, District No. 46, Deerins.
The law governing such matters Is
very plain and the teachers who fail
to comply with it must expect TO
suffer the consequences. Superln-
tendent Savage is required to take
action in such cases and it is not a
matter of choice with him, but rather
one OF duly.

Much Criminal Business

Although the various Offices around
the courthouse have Of necessity been
rather quiet of late. owing to the
continued holidays Of the Governor,
vet the Sheriff has had an unusual
run of business, even more than at
other times.
Monday Deputy Sheriff W. H. Win
ming, Of Fresno, Cal. was her with a
prisoner, Chas. Wsshbourne, who Is
bad fellow. He had robbed one party
Of o. 80 in cash, two pocket knives
aud pair Of socks and then he
visited the tenderloin district and
when returning to the city, intoxi'
Gated, he met newcomer, and in.
auired where he could get hotel
The man told him to come along with
him md he would show him the way.
AS they passed through an alley. the
drunk man hit his companion with a
sling shot and then proceeded to rob
him OF $3.50. Then he went back to
the half world. and got glorious!y
drunk and the police tkere obtained 9
clue. The Seattle police finally
caught the fellow and Deputy Sheriff
Winning was taking him back to face
his acousers. The man slept in the
Josephine county Jail over Sunday
night and then he was taken on south
the next day.
Saturday Deputy Sheriffs Smith and
Cheshire met fellow by the name
of Childers, who, in company with a
fellow traveller had ''hoofed" it all
the way from Crescent City, some 96
miles away in three days time.
Ohilders did not resist areest. but
claimed that the trouble grew out of a
dispute over board bill. But the
local officials are inclined to think
that there is something more grave
that he is charged with, for the
sheriff over that way seemed very
anxious to have him captured. He
was taken back to Crescent City
early this week, to stand trial.
Deputy Sheriff Cheshire was called
out to near Placer. by the announce
ment that some horses stolen from
the Chaplin estate, looted near Lee
laud. some weeks ago might be found
in that vicinity. He went out and
did find the two mares aud mule colt,
Which had been taken there and sold
to Mrs, Hearn. who has the old Flana-
gau place, for the sum of $40. After
identifying the animals and notify
ing the present owner not to dispose
of the same, Mr., Cheshire returned to
the county seat aud replevin proceed
ings were at once commenced, to Sc.
cure the possession of the same.

Cupid's Victims on Anxious Seat

The prolonged holiday season is
playing havoc with some of Cupid's S
doings . For instance: There are
several couples who have been con-
templsting committing matrimony for
the past week or 80 and they are
afraid to take the necessary license
ana County Clerk Cheshire is likewise
afraid to issue the desired papers, as
they fear the same may prove to be
Illegal. One unhappy couple have
had the fatted calf killed and like
preparations made for the celebration
OF the nuptisls, but they have had to
defer the event until the financial
depression passes over. And Judge
stephen Jewell, who is such au expert
at tying oonnubisl knots feels the
effect of the vacation days, too. He
is all ready To do his part and al
though he has had the newell exper-
ienco OF marrying the same couple
twice. in close succession yeti he
does not like the idea aud wants .to
make one knot last for all the lifetime
Of the welded couple.

BILLBOARD CRUSADE,
Tacoma's Plan of Campaign
Rapidly Proving Effective.
BOYCOTT PRINCIPLE ADOPTED

North End Improvement Society Asks
Advertisers Not to Use BiIlboards, as
They Are Objectionable - Members
Not to Buy Articles Thus Advertised.
Tacoma, Wash. has vigorous local
society known as the North End I'm
provement society. 1t Is dead set
against billboards, and 1t has adopted
a plan of campaign which is rapidly
proving effective. In essence 1t In
wolves the principle Of the boycott,
writes Clinton Rogers Woodruff, first
vice president OF the American Civic
association, In the Independent.
The society has made a list Of bill
boards In its district, and 1t writes to
each advertiser that uses them asking
him to abstain, as the boards are OBJ
jectionable. If the first letter does
not bring results, second and strong
er letter is sent, and this is followed
up until something happens. the last
step in the procedure being a rising
vote at public meeting, at which the
members pledge themselves to abstain
from purchasing articles that are ad-
vertised by billboards in its district.
Here are the results Of the society's
efforts to date
The billboard people have stopped ex
tending their available space and have
curtalled their working force. The tax
against the boards in Tacoma has
been doubled. Most Of the old adver
tisers have ceased to advertise, and
not very many new ones are appear
ing. Several large boards have been
taken down. One immense billboard
near the University OF Puget Sound is
down. This was very large double
decker. Mount Tacoma, a beautiful

also developed speed in mastication.

mechanically. We eat as tho we were
blind and our tongues cut out. we
simply swallow.
The result is that the food we eat is
half chew-d, and lies like a lump OF
lead on the stomach.
You may deny to yourself that you
abuse your stomach, but when you get

other kindred ailments, there is not
much use asking yourself, for the time
