Notice to Patrons.

At the suggestion of DR. Clinkseales,
who is the is the county board of
health, the city board of education
has decided that it would be az ood
idea since there is so much sickness
in our city to dismiss some of the
rooms of our city schools. 81,
When any room falls below 81 per
cent of the regular attendance of any
previous month for three successive
days the superintendent will dismiss
that room until the board of education
thinks it wise to start the school in
that room.
All pupils in those rooms that will
be dismissed, when they fall in the
above class. if they are out with the
measles will not lose any time if they
bring signed statement from their
doctor or parents. This is being done
in order that nc pupil will come back
to school until they are thoroughly
well aud stand no chance to iniure
themselves.

ROOMS NOT BASIS
or COMPENSATION
Attorney General Holds superinten
dent Must Visit schooIs-AI-
lowed Fee For 1t.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 5.-In an opin-
ion to j. W. Wilkinson, assistant SUI
perintendent of public instruction, At
torney General West holds that there
is no conflict between section 1881 and
section 1867 of the statutes of Okla
homa relating to the duties of county
superintendents of schools in visiting
schools. The latter section requires
each school to be visited by the county
superintendent at least once every
six months. While the other section
adopted by the last legislature allows
the county superintendent one dollar
for each school visited in his county
provided that his compensation is not
to include more than one school in any
one year
This is in addition to his regular
salary compensation. The attorney
general holds that there is no con
fiict as the first section referred to
prescribes the duties of the county
superintendent while the other Sec
tion allows him compensation for not
to exceed one school visited each year.
The opinion holds that this compen-
sation cannot be based upon each
school teacher or each room visited
but each school no matter how many
teachers employed.

Revoke Gas Franchise.

Sapulpa, Okla. Jan. Sat a stormy
session of the council Monday night
steps were taken to deprive the local
gas company Of its franchise.
For some time past, there has been
a scarcity of gas and always at time
when it was most needed. The gas
company promised to better conditions
but were so slow to do so that the
city fathers have decided to take mat.
ters into their own hands. The slogan
of the council is cheap gas and more
of it.

A Two-Epeep DECISION.

Judge Pollock's decision. in the Tn.
tied States district court at Topeka,
that the Kansas bank deposit guaran-
tee law is unconstitutional. is Of course
hailed with joy by the opponents OF
guaranteed deposits But their delight
is premature. Judge Pollock's decision
cannot be regarded as conclusive un-
til affirmed by the court Of last re.
sort. And its logic limps badly.
According to the newspaper reports
the court rules against the law on che
ground that the property rights Of
shareholders in existing banks are
jeopardized by making the assets Of
those banks liable for the debts cars
ed by Inismanagement or misfortune
of other banks. Judge Pollock holds
that 1t is an invasion of the property

Chicago, Feb. 25.-The $40 hog has
not yet appeared in the Chicago mar
ket, and buyers today held prices down
to yesterdays best, S9.673s. There
We're rumors of high mark Of 1910,
but they were not confirmed.
The recent bulge in prices has not
had the effect of increasing supply
and the fact is apparent that the coun-
try is not in possession of the neces-
sary hogs. Had they been in growers
hands present prices would have at
tracted them marketward.
Country shippers say sentiment in
growing circles is emphatically bullish.
Most hogs are now held at 8 cents in
the country and some have been put
under lock and key in confidence that
d 10-cent market on a Chicago basis
is not far away.
Cattle.
Cattle were steady but trade SLOW
and the declines of yesterday stood the
test Of the sellers efforts to boost
prices Prices are closing the week
generally 1905 cents higher than
week ago. Since the middle of January
the price has advanced nearly 81.
Good steers above $3.50 do not show
much change at any time, but the less

was a slow, draggy trade Thursday
when some new life was developed and
the market braced up little. finishing
stronger than it opened and some
statesmen figured that the early loss
was about regained.
Good heavy cattle are especially free
sellers because there are some shipping
orders that have to be filled. The sup
ply keeps stringing along and that was
handicap to the market and kept SELL
ers in the saddle most all day
Sheep.
Lambs made the highest price on
record for this time of year, and the
highest ever paid for fed western stuff.
A load of Michigan fed stuff went at
$40. Sheep were strong tho tops were
held down thru lack of quality.
Total supply is far below market re-
quirements and the proportion of sheep
is woefully small. Killers all require
a little heavy muffin in merchandising
operations, consequently the few sheep
that reach the market daily are eager
ly courted.
