sippi that the state is equipped with a
school system comparable in every
way with the schools of other states.

tually benefit the various schools al
lied with the local movement. Only
schools of high standing will be ad
mitted, the organization primarily be
ing effected with Chamberlain Hunt

OF the Suniower state are being rob-

. terror-stricken and the city bankers
are growing uneasy. Farmers with

the last three months over 30 banks

A meeting of sheriffs and policemen
