Will Make It Difficult For Some Who
Would Be Students.

Students in the high school normal
training course will not be permitted
to take the examinations in any nor.
nal training branch unless they have
taken the subject while regularly

This is the harsh decree of A. NJ. De-
yoe, state superintendent of public
instruction, in a circular letter pro-
viding eighteen rules and regulations
for the management of normal train
ing courses.
The effect of the rule is this: If
Miss A is enrolled in the normal
training course and has a thorough
knowledge of all the branches of the
course but two or three before she
took up the course, she cannot take
an examination in those other
branches which she has already stud
led. but must take them all over
again as part of the normal training
work,

DIED FROM EXPOSURE
Inmate of County House Wonders
Away and Succumbs.

Thomas Jones, an inmate of the
County Poor Farm, was found dead
Sunday afternoon on the John Davis
farm near the Des Moines river, by
Frank and Paul Ramie and Arthur
Gilman, who were in that vicinity
hunting. The cause of the death of
the man is supposed to be from hun
Cheesman was notified and he took
charge of the remains and brought
them to the city.
His identification was made by the
figure twelve" on his clothing, as
all of the clothes of inmates are num-
bered. ...
Thomas Jones was 73 years old
and has been an inmate of the Coun
ty Farm for a number of years. All
superintendent of the farm have had
considerable trouble in keeping him
on the place. He would run away
every chance he secured. He escap-
ed the authorities several times in
the past year, but has been captured.
After his release he would stay
around the farm about a week and
then would run away. Several times
he has been picked up in the city
and the farm authorities could come
and get him. AS he grew older he
had a greater desire to roam around
and a close watch has been kept over
him. On or about October 2 he es-
capped the authorities and he could
not be found, though search has been
made for him. Nothing was heard
of him until found yesterday.
The boys in hunting were passing
through the Davis farm when they
stumbled upon the prastrate form.
The body was laying in a thicket of
weeds and was concealed. Upon ex-
animation of the body indicated the
man had been dead for three or four
days. 1t is supposition that the man
became hungry and exhausted and
lying down to rest fell asleep and died
from exposure. Where the body was
found is distance of about eight
miles from the farm. Superinten-
dent BrOerman, of the County Farm,
will take charge of the body and the
remains will be buried at the farm.

are apple barrels. They are to be
seen on every hand, and speak for
chilly of the big crop of apples now
being harvested in Queen Mills.
About every available team in Glen
wood and vicinity is now engaged in
hauling. The empty barrels are haul
ed in hay racks to the orchard, and
hundred barrels make a load When
the barrels are filled, from sixteen to
twenty make load.

pies is now about over and they have
commanded the best prices, ranging
from 81 to 50 a barrel, picked and de-
livered to the buyers.
The Grimes Golden have been a
trifle below the Jonathan in price.
commanding right around 50 a barrel,
picked and delivered.
Ben Davis apples are bringing
from $l.Z5 to $3.50 a barrel.
The apple pickers receive about 81

Apple picking will likely last three
weeks longer.
