Farmers Nav Pool.

Frankfort, Ky.-The Court of Appeals
construed the pooling act to mean that
farmers may pool crops to obtain higher
prices, but manufacturers, trusts and

Harvester Company. The lower court
sustained the demurrer on the ground
that the indictment failed to state that
the harvester company had enhanced the

Fair will go away from here, for the
Association is in a gloomy financial

that unless something is done at once

Harris has given positive instructions
to the fifty-nine Parish Superintend.
ents Of louisiana that no teachers will
be allowed to teach in Louisiana who
do not either hold a teachers certi.
ficates or a diploma recognized as
certificate. The ruling has brought
forth a protest from a number of the
parishes, but will be insisted upon.
There is a law against a teacher being
employed who does not hold a certif-
cate, but it develops that in practically
every parish in the State there are
one or two, or perhaps more teachers
who have not certificates. Superin-
tendent Harris holds that this law
must be obeyed by all aline, and that
those teachers who have not certif-
Gates must either stand examination
and secure one, of they are able, or
