BONNEVILLE COUNTY HUNTS
AGAIN FOR A SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT

Our announcement last week that
Miss Virginia Adams, of Idaho Falls,
was not eligible to the Office of county
superintendent of schools was right
SO far as it went, but unfortunately
for Miss Adams the worst is yet to
come. She holds a second grade GER
tificate, and the school law in defining
the qualifications of superintendent
says the candidate for this office must
be twenty-five years old, must have
taught two years in Idaho, must hold
a first grade certificate at the time of
election or appointment and must also
have taught for one year on such first
grade certificate.

When F. E. DeKay was sworn In

the first thing he did was to 60 to
the soft drink houses and drug stores
OF Blackfoot and inform them that he
was going to enforce the local option
law or resign, and that as many Of
them as did not want to get into
trouble would do well to observe the
law to the letter.
This stand by the new officer Gre
ated quite stir, and it is common

readjusting in some of the places vis-
tied.
Following Immediately upon this
action Governor Hawley signed the

A NEW DEPARTURE
IN THE SCHOOLS

One boy was found whose hear
ing was very defective and both of
of his ears were found to be sadly
in need of cleaning, one of them
being absolutely corked with wax
that had dried out and was ran
cid at the inner part next to the
ear drum. When the cork of wax
was drawn out the odor was some
thing shocking.
One boy had number Of teeth
that were nearly gone with decay
and his breath was Of the sitting
kind. Some were found with en-
larged tonsils or with some tonsil
SO enlarged that it affected the
breathing, one teacher found she
was only getting half her allowance
of breath from this cause except what
she drew through her mouth, and
some were found with unnatural
growths In the throat or nasal pass
ages that their breathing was insult
ficient or their speech defective or
their breath impaired.
1t is the purpose Of the school to
discover these things and report SER
ious cases to the parents for their
attention, and to teach the pupils
cleanliness SO they can avoid what
ever is possible by proper care Of
themselves.

STOCKS BOOM.
Tobacco Decision Causes Heavy Buy
 ing at Higher Prices.

New York, Nov. 9.-Wau streets view of the acceptance by the court of the Amrican Tobacco reorganization plan was registered enphatically today in the stock market. Securities were purchased confidently in large amounts. Prices rose extensively in every quarter of the market While the American Tobacco stocks and bonds were strong, their movements were not so pronounced as those of more active issues. United States Steel was the conspicuous feature, rls- ing more than five points to 63 7-8. Transa ctions in this stock were on an enormous scale, with a. total for the day of 421 900 shares.
 The stock was particularly sensitive to the tobacco decision on account of the dissolution suit instituted against the United States Steel corporation and the demand for these shares seem ed to be almost limitleSs.
 Passing of the dividend on American Cotton oil had been predicted for some time, and the stock, which rose two points early in the day, did not fall be- low yesterdays close.
 Trading in the bond market was on a much larger scale. Bonds generally showed pronounced strength, with sub stantiaI gains in some of the higher priced issues. Total sales, par value s6,27S.000.

Through shifts made this week by the Academy coaches a reconstructed backfield for the red and white eleven and some changes in the line w Il be the protruberant detail that will flash upon the eye when next the Academy lines up for a game All of which means that Swan has been lifted from the quarterback position to play half Coughlin is again at fullback and Rob- inson has been elevated from quarter back on the second eleven to play the same position on the first. McCor mick stays at the other halfback place, but Ricketts,, who has been playing full, becomes sub again.
 To get a good quarterback was the thing that troubled the coaches at the opening of the season, and in order to do that they had to sacrifice a val uable halfoaclz by taking Swan from half to play quarter. This worked fairly well in the early games, but as the season advanced it was seen that they were getting along with back field in which Mccormick was about the only man who could be depended upon to carry the ball. Swan put up a great game at quarter, but his ground gaining ability was lost. The change brings Swan bacy by Macs side and restores the halfbaclx combination that churned through opposing teams in winning form last year.

Foghorn Voice from the BIeachers
 Jared the Ump's Nerves Some.

Never was nervous but once in my life," declared Umpire Billy Evans a few days ago, when a group of Cleve- land fans were discussing the apparent calmness of the arbitrators in the worlds series.
 Never but once," he continued, and you will be surprised when I tell you how it was.
 T guess l have had every vile ex- pression in the dictionary hurled at me during some period of my career.
 T was working a game in Chicago a couple of years ago. Ed Walsh, think, was the pitcher. In the last half of the first inning I called one of the first.
 There was a groan. Above it all resounded a foghorn voice from the bieachers with You're a liar!' It was sung rather than spoken, but sung so that it carried it's message to every corner of the park
 T called a ball on the next batter You're liari' came back the voice. called a strike. You're liar.' popped out again.
 "NearIy every decision after that brought forth the same expression. Before the third inning passed every one in the park awaited the You're a liar.' rather than my decision on a play.
 q guess at the finish I didn't know whether I was in Comislzey's park or in Newburg. I heard that voice shout ing all the way to my hotel. I heard it in my dreams Even now it makes me shudder when I think of it.

JOHNSON WAS THERE WITH
 A RECORD AS USUAL.
The Washington Twirier Pitched Only
 69 Balls in Nine Inninus.

Setting new records for the opposing boxmen to hurl at is a regular hobby with Walter Johnson, the Idaho phe- nom of the Washington Americans Last season Johnson set a record by whiting 316 batsmen. This year Wal ter was not quite up to his standard as strikeout artist, but just the same the big Swede hung up a new mark
 In a game against the Maps in the letter part of the season Johnson pitched but 6s balls during the entire nine innings, winning his game, to l. This beat all to smash a record set by ChriSty Mathewson two weeks before when Big Six pitched only 93 balls to retire 27 Red batters.
 Johnson set the Maps down with four hits and did not issue a base on balls. Mathewson's performance in the way of base hits was even better, the Reds hitting him safely only twice. Like Johnson. Mathewson did not walk a batter. Johnson whiffed six batters, while Afathewson's strikeouts total only four.
 The record set by the Washington pitcher shatters all marks in the big league. The former record was 72, made in the minor leagues. Johnson's record should stand for a long while, the only possible one right now to break it being himself, but baseball is funny game and something may happen at any time.
