Responsible for Vacancy
in High School
Faculty
MAY WALLACE RESIGNS

Very quietly and quite unexpected
ly, sly little Dan Cupid, bow and ar
rows in hand, has invaded the tranquil
domain of the Canton High school fac
ulty. High school instructors are no
more invulnerable to his irresistible
shafts than are any other class of peo-
pie, and the result has been that Miss
A. May Wallace has rendered her re-
signation to the board of education.
Although she has refused to make any
formal statement the secret that she
is to wed in the near future has been
divulged by her intimate friends.
The resignation is to take effect
at once. 1t was with regret both to
Miss Wallace and to her friends, that
she was called upon last night to sever
the ties of comradeship which she had
formed during her five years stay
in this city. Her friends were leg
ion, both among the pupils with whom
she was exceedingly popular, and out
side of the institution, making it no
small task to break the fond con-
nections in this city. Miss Wallace
came to Canton from Cleveland, to
which place she will return at once.
The vacancy caused by her resig-
nation will probably be filled by Miss
Ruth Lehmiller, at present a teacher
in the sixth grade at the Clarendon
avenue building. This appointment
has been decided upon by the school
officials but it will be subject to the
approval of the board of education.
1t is likely that some action will be
taken in the matter at the meeting on
Monday evening.
In the Canton High school at pres
ent there are fifteen lady and eleven
gentlemen instructors AS far as pos
sible, in making appointments, pref
erence is given to gentlemen appli-
cants, but the scarcity of competent
instructors of this sex makes it next
to impossible to equalize the teachers
of each kind.
Principal Armstrong in speaking in
this connection yesterday said: I'VE
find it hard to secure enough of men
instructors to make their number
equal to that of the lady teachers.
So far as results are concerned, how
ever, it would be very hard to dis
between their work"

WHICH PARTY GETS FIRST
PLACE ON TICKET?

Columbus, Dec. 4-"Did Ohio go re-
publican or democratic?" is a con-
stantly recurring query addressed to
the secretary of states Office. Assist
ant Secretary Thomas d. Buckley has
refused to answer it because of the
complications which are likely to en-
sue. The question, will. however,
have to be answered in 1910, when it
comes to arranging the various party
tickets upon the official ballot. Upon
it depends the existence of the Pro-
hibition party as a political entity.
The election laws provide that unless
party casts one per cent. of the to-
tai vote deposited at a general cleo
tion it cannot certify nominations
made in convention, but must get it's
candidates upon the ballot by petition.
The crux of the difficulty hinges up
on who was the head of the ticket at
the last election, the candidate for
president or the candidate. for COVER
nor. If the former then the prohibi-
tionists are still a party, for they cast
just 81 more than the required l per
cent, or a few over 1000. If it is
the latter then they are wiped out,
for their candidate for governor got
few more than 1000 votes. There is
still another question at issue.
The laws provide that the party
casting the highest vote for the head
of the ticket shall have precedence on
the left of the ballot at the following
election. If Taft was officially the
head of the republican ticket, it will
come first. The point is made, how
ever, that the electors do not vote for
a president, but for members of the
electoral college. Yet there is a pro-
vision for the placing of the names of
the presidential and vice presidential
upon the party tickets. 1t
is of no great political consequence at
this moment in this controversy.
But there are. some wageTs which
may hinge upon the construction
given the question.

WOMEN PLEDGED TO
BOYCOTT HUSBANDS

Lima, O., Dec. 4.-sensationsl de
velopments have followed in the
county option campaign now on in AL.
len county, threatening the retail
mercantile trade. Following the pub
lication of a long list of business
men, including bankers and every line
of trade, mass meeting of women
was held at Trinity church.
Resolutions declaring boycott
against all merchants who had signi-
fed their belief that the county should
remain wet at this time were passed.
This action was followed today by pc
titions circulated by women headed
by Mrs. T. H. Campbell, wife of the
pastor of Trinity church.
Few women, not recognizing the i'm
port of what they were signing, in
many cases have pledged themselves
to boycott their own husbands.

FICTION
MOST POPULAR WITH
READERS
Who Patronize the Can
ton Public Library
Beginning Saturday Miss
Sell Will Entertain the
Children With First Of
a Series of One Hour
Stories.

That the literary tastes of the Can
ton citizens incline more towards mod
ern fiction than towards any other
line of literature, is shown by the
records of the Canton public library.
Of the several hundred books issued
daily from the library, the large ma
jority of them are fiction, although
the circulation of the volumns of the
classed departments have shown a
marked increase during the past year,
During the week the normal circula-
ton of books from the library is sew
eral hundred, but on Saturdays it
reaches to between 400 and 500 Just
now, on account of the approach of
Christmas, less reading is being done,
but Immediately after the holidays, a
rush upon the circulation department
is expected, and during the winter
months, the daily issue runs as high
as 600 volumns.
Those whose tastes lie with fiction
are never allowed to go unsatisfed,
for there is a constant influx of new
books into the library, direct from
the pens of the modern writer's. Those
who desire to keep in touch with the
current events of the world, are sup
piled with all of the magazines and a
majority of the newspapers on the
American market, and some from for
eign lands.
On next Saturday, the series of stor-
les for the children will begin in ac-
cordance with the custom established
two years ago. Miss Sell has charge
of this department of the work of the
library, and for one hour each Satur-
day afternoon she will entertain the
children by relating to them a story.
The feature of the story telling is its
educational value, for the series will
include not only tales from fiction
but also many from both ancient and
modern history. In the past these lee
lures have been very enjoyable and
attractive to the children, and the
attendance upon all occasions has
been good. On account of the many
other ways with which the children
can occupy their time during the sum-
mer months, these series of stories
are carried out only during the win
ter months.

Call Roosevelt a "Tree road

New York, Dec. 4.-Three mass
meetings to discuss woman suffrage
were held this evening. The climax
was reached in Carnegie Hall in fiery
denunciation by Rev. DIR. Charles
Aked, of Rockefeller's church, of su-
preme court justices who attended the
Croker dinner. Carrie Chapman Gait
characterized Roosevelt as a "tree
toad" for his letter to anti-suffrage
meeting In which he said he did not
regard woman suffrage movement as
an important matter. DR.. Aked de-
nOunced the political system which
made officials grovel at the feet of an
ex-rum seller.

.RUMORED PETITIONS
ARE OUT FOR CLOSING
SALOONS At 10 P. NJ.

There was persistent rumor on the
streets Friday that a petition is now
being circulated in the city and that
it is being freely signed to ask the
city council to pass an ordinance
compelling all saloons in the city to
close their doors at 10 O'Clock each
night, Saturday included. One gen.
tleman residing in the western sec
tion of the city, who seemed to know
something about the matter, said that
the petition went still further as it asks
that all screens be removed from the
front entrance of the saloons and that
all curtains be kept up after the time
of closing. Many of the saloonists, it
is said, are in favor of an early clos
ing ordinance, but they do not favor
10 o'clock.

II Is not sufficient to have a certain

sufficient milk to raise a veal calf
Such COWS are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
cows, then through selection and
breeding the producing capacity OF
your herd can be increased.

marked
Lay your plans for a silo at just al

Care should be taken not to feed
