DIR. Cook, DR.. Cook!
Is he down off Sandy Hook,
Is he n some sheltered nook
Writing fiercely on his book?
Has he old Manhattan shook
For some spot that's more forsook
Where, in duck or white nainsook
He is drifting in some brook
With neatly baited hook?
His belongings has he took
Where the common herd can't look,
Where the robin and the rook,

Is he north Of Ahtooklshook?
Is he travelling with some duke
In the land of Lalla Rookh?
Has he vanished like n spook
Where, oh where is DR.. Cook?
Well, wherever re may be
We sincerely hope he'll see
These here words, and let us know
Why he's there, and when, also
He intends to answer back
All the questions, quite n stack
All these charges, which are piling
While the days he is beguilng.

as soon IS the plant is in operation.
A town viii be established near the

will give employment to 100 men at
the beginning, and the entire output
of the mill will be disposed of in

The advent of the plant means
that many of the lower priced dwell

Three hundred and seventy-five
teachers in Spokane's grade schools
are ready to begin a campaign for a
12-month-salary instead of nine
months, as at present. They will also
ask for an increase of 20 per rent.
The Spokane Grade Teachers asso-
citation has sanctioned the movement.
The highest salary paid to grade
teachers In Spokane on the nine.
month plan is 5000 a year. Although
the teachers believe their cause a
just one, they have not threatened to
strike. They hope to win their points
on a strictly educational campaign.
However, their forces are strong and
well organized and IL their demands
are refused they are in position to
close every grade school in the city
They Will present their request back
ed by a petition signed by every
member of the association some time
in January, and this will be supple
mented by petitions from parents Of
children attending the grade schools
The increased cost of living Is the
chief reason for demanding more pay
1t is given out that the teachers will
not accept a reappointment of the
present salary schedule.

"Billiken," as saying that while she
appreciated the Kindness of the Spo-

a fund of $1,000 or more to be plac-
ed at her disposal to continue her art
studies, she rould not accept penny.
The dispatches also quote Miss Pretz
as saying that she can get along
very well without "Billiken" and
that she expects to study in Philad-
elphia next winter paying her own
tuition, adding: IF l can't do that l
won't go. 1t is not false pride on
my part to decline to accept the
money oy the Spokane boosters
nor is II a sentimental desire to get
even with the old 'Billiken.'"

First Round Of
Hongkong Cup

There was big crowd OF fans ut
the Athletic p,rk yesterday to see
the Pennsylvania nine play the
West Virginia for the preliminary
round OF the Hongkong cup.
The Pens won out by a score OF 2
to I. after a snappy game that kept
the fans going all the time. The
Virginia bunch seem to be playing
a lot of their proper form. and II all
accounts OF their former prowess are
correct, there is something radically
wrong with the team.
In the NTH inning English, the W.
V. pitcher, injured his hand and had
20 pull out OF the game. Schaeffer
was taken of first and did the twirl-
ing for the rest of the game.
The Pens made one In their sec
ond and again one in the fourth,
and after that could not get man
home. The W. V. nine in the mean
time scored one In the sixth. but
could not add to their total, and
the game ended 2 to 1.
