NICE FOR THE STATE
Wayne County Pays Out Over
$4,000 for Schools and
Gets Back $4,000.
A DISPARITY IN PUPILS.

Wayne county has paid to the state
for the education OF the school chill
dren S24 1862. In return the county
will receive only S16,251.29 to be ex-
pended for the children of this coun-
ty. The disparity is due to the small
number of children of school age in
this county. Each year this county
pays out more than it receives in re-
turn. 1t is seldom the deficit is as
great as for the January settlement OF
this year. The per capita for each
child is $1.69.
The semi-annual distribution OF
state funds has been determined upon
by F.. A. Cotton, superintendent OF
public instruction. 1t shows Wayne
county has only 1864 children OF
school age and it is upon this number
as a basis that the distribution is
made The small number of school
children in the county mas been the
cause of worry to the school authori-
ties for a number of years. 1t is re-
sponsible also for direct loss in mon
ey TO the county.

The druggist of this town was ordered
to bring what liquor sale slips he had
in his possession before the grand jury
and there was great surprise when he
brought as many if not more than the
other druggists of the county had sub

No one accuses the Quakers OF pur.
chasing liquor but some one had pur

Are OF the Opinion He Will

Public Officer.
HIS SELECTION ADVISABLE
STATE KERN PERMITTED PER-
soNAL PREJuDIcEs TO DOM.
NATE HIM AND OBSCURE HIS
SOUND POLITICAL JUDGMENT.

Local attorneys and men prominent
IN public matters believe the demo-
cratic party made wise selection.
when 1t chose Benjamin Shively as
its candidate for the senator in pref
erence to John w. Kern. Shively is
regarded as a more competent man
than Kern and one whose senatorial
acts will reflect more to the credit of
his party than would those Of the
Indianapolis attorney. Shively Is held
to b q man of broader ideas and
more fair minded. Nothing has been
said throughout his campaign that
might reflect on his integrity OF char
acter.
Kern the More Willy.
Locally Kern is held to be more of
the willy politician than shively but a
man OF less ability. Kern is declared
to be bitter. while Shively is looked
upon ~ far more affable Kern is
said TO permit his prejudices and per.
sonal disfavor to enter into his politi-
cal affairs and predominant over his
good judgment. And then it develop.

Henry U. johnson and Thomas J.

are acquainted with Shiyely say they
believe he is very competent man
and will make good senator. They
declare his selection in preference to
Kern was advisable. I'm the first

has ever been said about him." stat
ed Mr.. johnson. Mr.. Study has moi
been partisan OF Kern from the first
announcement of his candidacy.
But after all, republican members
Of the Wayne county bar, maintain
the party could have done better by
selecting Mr.. Study as its senator. His
ability Is said to be greater than that
OF Shively or Kern either. 49,

His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but
eating it strengthens and en-
larges the thyroid gland--this
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
II seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
Scotch has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
Of the thyroid gland by oatmeal

The Scotch eat Quaker Oats
