A National Problem.

George NJ. Maxwell. editor Of Max
wells Talisman, says in the March,
1908 number of his paper:
There are many country merchants
who see their trade gradually slipping
away from them-leaving the country
towns and going to the great cities by
the channel OF the mail-ordcr trade.
''Ihcrc are many country editors
who see the prosperity Of their towns
depleted and circulation and advcT
tlzing income reduced tor the same
reason.
"Iherc are few, however, who
realize that their problem is a nation
al one, and that it is wrapped up in
and a part OF the great fundamental
question Whether this nation shall be

InfideIity and Cruelty.

Paris, March 5--"She lived to an ac-

literature and pajamas." Thus Maitre
Barbour described the married life of
his client, Mrs. Cornelia Baxter-Tevis-
Mckee, yesterday. in the opening of
the divorce suit against her husband,
A. Hart Mckee, of Pittsburg, on
charges of infidelity, cruelty and eX-
travagance.
After deploring the facility with
which marriages may be made in the
United States without the consent of
parents Maitre Barbour described Cor
nelia Baxter-Tevis as the widow of
Hugh Tevis, with one child, being
swept off her feet by the audacious
lovemaking of Hart Mckee, who prom
ised her $4,000 yearly for dresses,
claiming to have a personal claim on
the fortune of his fathers, Sellers Nc

HAGERSTOWN IS
COMPLAINING OF
HIGH TAX RATE
Maintenance of Town School
With High School Becomes
A Burden to the Residents
Of That Little City.
TWO PLANS PROPOSED
FOR GENERAL RELIEF.
Some Want Joint Town and
Township School and Some
Want the Township to AS
sumo Full Control.

HagerstOwn people are of the opin-
ion that the present tax rate for the
maintenance of the town school, which
includes a commissioned high school,
is burden and they are willing to
have this tax rate reduced. to turn
the school over TO the jurisdiction of
jefferson township. This plan has
been adopted by nearly all of the small
incorporated towns in the country and
has proven satisfactory If jefferson
township assumes control of the Hag-
erstown school, the township trustee
will apportion the tax rate for its
maintenance equally among the tax
payers of the township and the cor,
poration. This plan would mean quite
respectable cut in the taxes.
This afternoon the school board OF
Hagerstown is meeting with the town
ship trustee and is discussing the ways
and means for effecting the proposed
change. One of two plans will be
auopleu at IillS l1ISSllDS. II udS DSSil
proposed to make the HagerStown
school joint township and corpora
ton school, which plan the town OF
Centerville and Center township ad
opted, or it will be decided to have
the corporation of Hagerstown aban
don the school and permit the town.
ship TO assume control of it. This &C
ton was taken some time ago in Ne W
Garden township, that township as
suming control of the Fountain City
school. The town of Boston and Bos
ton township enjoys a similar arrange
meut.
If the first plan is adopted it can
be put into effect by the action OF the
| Hagerstown school board and the
township trustee. In case the second
plan is decided on it will be necessary
to secure the sanction of the town
/ board.
1t is probable that this plan will be
the one agreed upon as the most salts

, trustee get together this afternoon

Superintendent r. A Mott OF the
Richmond public schools today sent a
letter TO Frank r. Whitney. superin-
tendent of the Collinwood public
schools, extending the sympathy OF the
local school authorities and the peo-
pie of Richmond. on account of the
terrible tragedy yesterday at the North
Collinvood school where two hun
dred children were burned 10 death.

sight of those children fighting for

Mr.. Mott states that there is always

but adds that they are comparatively
safe. None of the buildings are fire

ever be any such a tragedy enacted!

There is no danger of the high

installed. they are located within the
