A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi-
nary story of the impassiveness Of
Louis XVIII. When he was minister
of foreign affairs a courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication of it TO the king till
next morning. when he explained that
he was afraid the tidings might have
disturbed his majesty's sleep. The
king replied: Nothing disturbs my
sleep, as you may see from this in
stance The most dreadful blow Of
my life was my brothers death. The
courier who brought this dreadful
news arrived at o'clock in the even
ing. For many hours | was quite
overcome. but at midnight | went to
bed and slept my usual eight hours"
The story is told by the Duchesse de
Dino, TalIeyrand's niece. in her men,

than big corporate combine, and
predict that the latter will not control
grain prices during the coming crop
season.
Orthodox scientists claim they have
Investigated planetary meterology, but
they have not. Their methods are
illustrated by their efforts to investi-
gate the moons effects on the wealth
er. In this they use each new moon
for each month Of the past year. Any
schoolboy should know better. Com
mon sense would say take only the
new moons of past Januaries for in
vestigating the effects of the new
moon in January. You would not expect
the same effects from the new moons
Of January and July. But that is the
orthodox method of investigation.
Again You could not expect the
new moons of every January to have
the same effects. Orthodox scientists
never caught that idea. To find similar
results we must take the new moons
that are similar and these occur nine
teen years apart. The moons cycle is
nineteen years and as a general rule,
but with many exceptions, the moon
has similar effects on the weather
every nineteen years. The mistakes
of orthodox scientists are vastly
greater when they try to investigate
the planetary influences.

This will be very important dis

storms will develop in many places

Not many sunspots this month. The
storms will hit the earth harder than
they will the sun. Jupiter will be
bright morning star and Mars the red
star. Saturn viii be evening

average unusually cold west Of merid-
ian 81 and much warmer east of that
line. This difference will come from
two or three cold waves that will be
more severe west of 81. The month
will be deficient in precipitation in the

It has also demonstrated the neces-

WOMAN PAYS POLL TAX

Tax Collector Welch thought c..
H. Perkins, of Lancaster, whose
name appears on the tax roll, ought
to pay poll tax, and so sent him a
statement; but, c. H. Perkins being
a woman, she laughed gleefully at
the joke on the collector and wrote
her reply to the statement in rhyme
The gist of this poem is that poll
taxation without the right of suf
frage is tyranny not contemplated
or sanctioned by the law.
Here is the poem which came to
Welch, signed by G. H. Perkins,
Lancaster:
Don't be in a hurry a poll tax to
get,
But wait till the privilege of voting
is let
To the woman, your equal in all
things on Garth,
To the wife, to the mother who gave
you birth;
But after the amendment is carried,
why, then.
We women will pay our poll tax
like you men,
But while we are waiting with pa
tience (?), perhaps,
The poll tax, dear man, you will
kindly let lapse.
Like the men"--there is but
half promise in that, for men pay
poll tax only when they have to, and
many an able voter has never paid
it. Los Angeles Examiner.

STATEHOOD

The action of the Senate in de-
feating Senator Ovens resolution
to admit Arizona and New Mexico
TO Statehood does not kill the
chances of either Territory entering
The Union.
As President Taft had already ap-
proved the constitution for New
Mexico, the affirmative vote of both
houses Of Congress would have ad
mitted New Mexico. When the
resolution to formally approve the
constitution of New Mexico came
up for consideration in the Senate,
Senator Owen saw his opportunity
OF bring in both States. or thought
he did. and Immediately insisted
that the constitution Of Arizona
Should be approved at the same
time.
After several hours of heated de;
bate, the Senate leaders agreed to
couple Arizona with New Mexico.
and then voted down the resolution.
The defeat of Senator Owens
resolution does not mean that New
Mexico will not be admitted. As
President Taft has approved it's con-
stitution, New Mexico will certainly
become a State during the extra
session of Congress, which will con-
vene on April 4th.
The Senate's decision to turn
down both constitutions, does not
hurt Arizona's chances of becoming
a State. The constitution of Ari-
zona will come up in the extra ses-
sion of Congress and will undoubted-
ly be approved.
Arizona will have more friends in
the next Congress. The House will
be democratic and Champ Clark will
be speaker, In the Senate. with a
few exceptions, the new senator's
are a progressive type. and the
chances for Arizona's constitution
being approved by the Senate are
brighter.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL

Stafford public school is making q
fine record this year in attendance.
The enrolment for the month OF
February was 257. while the average
daily attendance was 23l.
Lately there have been several
new pupils entered in each room as
a result of new families moving into
town and children coming from
other districts. This has resulted
in the fourth and fifth grades being
overcrowded. that room now con-
tanning fifty-eight pupils, more
pupils than one teacher can success
fully handle, especially when there
are two grades to teach. With the
increased attendance in both of
these grades. it will be necessary
next year TO engage another teacher,
SO that each grade will be to itself.
Stafford is growing and the public
school is keeping pace with the popu-
lation. Two years ago it became
necessary to build an addition of
two rooms to the school house. 1t
looks now as if additional rooms will
be needed to take care of all the
children of the district. and another
addition will have to be made to the
present school building. This can
easily be accomplished by following
the plan of architecture and add an
addition of four rooms in the rear,
which would give full grade to-
each teacher and accomplish the
high school grades as well.
Next year there will be tenth
grade established, the second grade
of the high school. The pupils now
in the ninth grade will enter the
tenth grade next year and the two
grades will be kept going so that no
children in this district need be sent
away from home.
The people of this district can
easily establish the high school if
they will provide the building. The
money now expended by parents for.
the education Of their children in
schools away from home would help
great deal in maintaining a high
school here and this fact should be
kept in mind.
; Let everyone interested in the
public schools begin work at once to
secure the additional building and
provide for the higher education of
our boys and girls and keep them
at home.
