Superintendent of City Schools
"A. H. Yoder has announced that
he will probably resign his posi-

bers of the school board at their
regular semi-monthly meeting
Wednesday afternoon. The OPP
position of the school board re-
suited from the superintendent
recommendation that the primary
supervisor be re-appointed for
next year.
Superintendent Yoder made the
recommendation together with a
number of other recommendations
that he is accustomed to make
near the end of the school year.
Three of the members, w. P.
Hopping, o. w. Barlow and Mrs.
G. w. Bullard, who form a ma
jority of the board, Immediately
opposed the plan, and stated en-
phatically that they could not be
moved in their stand. The other
board members, John T. Bibb and
G. Dove McQuesten, favored the
matter, which in itself is claimed
to be of but commonplace import
ance, but their vote counted as
naught against the majority vote
OF the other three.

would have fallen 500 feet.
The loss of gas brought the car
lower each moment, however, and
his next danger was of being
crushed against steeple or high
building. But the wind was swift
across the city before it got lower
than 200 feet. Then it came down
very fast and landed in a northern
suburb. Lieutenant Gruber was
badly Jared by the landing, but he
had escaped burning, and after
some cuts and bruises had been
dressed was able to go home in
an automobile.
