WILL TALK HlTcHING POSTS.
Business Men Asked to Settle the
Matter Finally.

The meeting Of the commercial
club called for tonight is to discuss
hitching posts. At the commission
ers meeting this morning number
of merchants attended and asked
that something be done to better
present conditions. There Is no or
dinance against hitching on the
streets but the posts have been taken
down. The U. r. has removed the
posts placed on It's right Of way and
the hitchIng facilities are limited,
Some definite arrangements should
be made. The few poles to which
teams can be tied are occupied al
most constantly by town rigs. 1t
is argued that If town teams can
stand on the pavement all day coun-
try teams ought to be allowed there
also and many merta ants think
there should either be hi.ching posts
generally or else all hitching on the
streets prohibited.

ance at the normal, there are los

In the palmy days Of rural schools,
the local board Of education thought
that 1t required 2OO-pound man
with an Iron jaw and strength Of a.
mule to preside In the school room.
When dainty miss from town ap-
peared on the scene wearing more
rings than a cane rack and timidly
asked for the district school, the
board reminded her that the district
was looking for a man who com
bined the strength Of Samson with
the knowledge Of a dictionary. No
one, the board believed, could pound
knowledge into the heads of these
farmer lads without the generous use
of a three-year-old hickory stick.
When a nearby district ventured
to try q gentle town-bred fairy in
their school ROOM the board in ev-
cry surrounding distdict Joined with
he patrons in suppressing their pent-
Up glee. Then when somehow that
IS pounds of innocence and beauty
completed the term without carrying
way a single scar of personal con-

he hypnotized those turbulent, bois-
erous youngsters. Perhaps she did.
