Teachers Jump contracts.

E. T. Fairchild, state superinten-
dent, has announced that if he found
any teacher violating a contract with
school boards without good reason the
certificate of that teacher would be
cancelled. 1t is fact that teachers
go to one school board and make a
contract to teach for the next year
Then if they find a better job they
throw up this contract and go to work
at the other school. There has been
SO much of this trouble recently that
the state superintendent, in an effort
to stop contract jumping, made his
announcement.

Headquarters of
General Count de ROchambeau,
Commanding the French Allies.

The general is represented at the
age of So years, when he was in New
port in 17S0-17S1. The likeness is the
result of much research and study on
the part of the sculptor, who was
guided principally by an engraving of
the general preserved in an official
document which he had the opportuni-
ty of sketching in the National library
in Paris. Count de Rochambeaus
face, with its firm chin and strong
features, impresses the observer with
his soldierly qualities. The uniform
is that of a French general of the
period.
Beneath the medallion is a garland
composed of laurel and of oak. The
corners of the tablet are marked with
fieur de lis, while the border is orna-
mented with stars.

Pure Food at Kansas Fairs.

Pure food inspectors are busy now
visiting the different fairs over the
state. All of the restaurants in the
towns visited are being looked after
to see that the owners dc not become
careless in handling foodstuffs. A
close watch is being kept on all stands
selling foods and drinks to see that
no adulterated or impure articles are
offered for sale. At several fairs
hamburger steaks have been con-
demned because the dealers were US
ing preservatives. The dealers are
not expecting the inspectors, hence
they believe that they can do as they
please. The sanitary conditions at
the fairs are also being watched.
