History of the Sardina.

The sardine has been honored with

dine in the early days was brought In
in small boats Then came a police
ordinance in 1873 in the interest Of
the poorer classes against the monop-
olist. Owing to the police ordinance
the sardine was a source OF livelihood
to the Bretons. Joseph Cillin. whose
name is still revered In Nantes. first
prepared the fish with oil. His ven
ture was a great success. and he had
many imitators. In 1895 there was
something like a crisis in the sardine
industry. MIlet, who was the chief
curer. had his factory indicted as
nuisance. but the din1culty was over
como by removing it from the center
Of the town to the shore. Although
the fame Of the sardine was firmly
established. it was only In 1855 that

Randolph County Excels in
Township Schools.

That residents of Randolph county
encourage the building and equipment
of $4,000 township schools, while in
townships of the same size in this
county general complaint is often
made when a $4,000 township school
building is proposed, was proven to
County Superintendent c. o. Will
liams. when, with the county superin-
tendents of Henry, Delaware and Ran
dalph counties. he inspected the Par
ker school, near Winchester, on Wed.
nesday.
The attitude of the patrons of town
ship schools in Randolph county is en-.
tirely different from that of patrons of
Wayne, Henry and Delaware county
schools. There are several town
ship schools in Randolph county
which have cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000, including the equipment
and grounds. But in Wayne county
about the most expensive township
school cost $4,000. The Parker
school, taking in consideration it's &C.

passes anything in the county with
the exception of the Richmond high
school.

inspection of the school marveled at
the completeness of it, 1t consists
of several rooms, embodying manual
training, domestic SCIENCE lunch, rest
and other departments. not ordinarily
found in the township school. There

building is laid off in a most attrac-
tive manner, walks, being run irregu-
larly through the plot and shrubs be-

INVESTIGATE EGG
AND BUTTER TRUST

Ruled Market in Re-

(National News Association)
CHICAGO, Oct 19-After many de-
lays the butter and egg trust OF the
middle west is under investigation of
federal authorities. Accountants today
began tabulating the record OF quota
tons made by the Chicago butter and
egg board. The prosecution is expected
to prove that the board named the
quotations lower than the ruling mar
,ket prices in order to influence the
producing market. and that by this
means the members Of the board were
able to name the figure at which they
would buy from the producers and that
such action is clearly in restraint of
trade by acting as clamp on the pro-
ducers contracts, being governed by
boards quotations.
