For the Tobacco Trust by Wednesdays
Action of Independents.

New York, Nov 1.-THE filing, to-
day, by independent tobacco dealers Of
a petition to intervene in the govern

peal from the plan to the United States
supreme court and may delay the
disintegration of the trust, in the opin-
ion Of the counsel IN the case.
Should the independents petition be
granted by the circuit court the case
will be taken to the supreme court by
the protestants, who would then be
parties to the suit, their counsel, Felix
II Levy declared. Should the circuit
court deny the independents, plea,
they will take it to the higher tribunal,
Notwithstanding, he declared. The petit
ton bears the signatures of the Ma
tional Cigar Leaf Tobacco Associa-
ton and the Cigar Manufacturers AS.

The Independents recite in their pc

ard base their plea TO intervene on the
ground that the decision will not in
substance and effect, conform to the
requirements of the opinion and de-
cree made in this cause by the United
States supreme court.

or direction of Attorney Genera

Rather Quiet
Annual School Meeting Only
Brought Out 48 People In
tereSted.

With population of approximately
District No. 4, South Arm township,
could only muster 48 men, women and
boys who were interested enough TO
turn out for a couple Of hours Monday
evening. If our schools go forward
as they should, the people OF this dis
0rict must show more interest than
that Of last Monday evening. While
the School Board the past few years
has worked ''tooth and nail" for the
advancement OF our schools, the
apathy shown by its patrons Monday
evening is no encouragement for them
to continue.
~ Owing 10 the absence Of Pres't e.
J. Crossman, Com'r Milford acted as
chairman Of the meeting.
Secretary W. p. Sqnier read the
minutes Of the last annual meeting
which were adopted. The financial
report, also read by Sec'y Squier, was
adopted as read. The report Of Treas
urer l.. A. Hoyt was also accepted.
The estimates OF the Board for the
coming year, as published in the two
local papers, was unanimously adopt
ed This amounted TO $4,000 for
teachers wages and $500 for the
general fund. The total amount Of
teachers wages is $l2,2C0 which in
creases the wages of several of our
teachers and adds one more to the
corps.
The length of school year was fixed
at nine aud one-half months which is
the same as last year.
A resolution was adopted prohibit
ing discus throwing and like sports
on the school grounds or by pupils
going from or coming to school.

THERE'S NO PLACE
LIKE HOME" "

Another era OF nationwide specula-
tion has passed. This time the
peoples spare cash went into land
projects many OF which have proven
Just about as productive Of dividends
as have in the past similar flyers In
stock exchanges. Many people of this
community have contributed TO the
land boom. They have been attract
ed by the fact that the property they
bought is far from home and, as rule,
in a locality that they knew little, If
Hythiug, about. A large amount OF
this business has beeu done by pros
pectus and circular letter, and in
some cases the buyer will be happier
if he never sees what he bought. We
ali believe in land investments. but
we have thousands OF acres OF good
land here in our own neighborhood
that ought to be improved.
This movement has taken capital
from our community that might
otherwise have been spent for local
improvements, for homes, schools,
churches, better roads. farm improve
ments and other things which would
have made for The greater prosperity
of this vicinity. We believe now,
however, that the time has come TO
center attention upon the welfare of
East J0rdan. We believe also that
iSis time TO forget about politics, the
tariff and other bogies and settle down
TO a plan for bettering this particular
community by strong cooperative
effort.
1t has been said that the tariff is a
local issue and, in a large measure,
the same may be said of prosperity.
The business men Of this vicinity
have it in their power to make pros
perity in this locality, but. in order to
accomplish something definite, their
money must be kept at home and
spent at home. Our general welfare
will not be promoted by sending IL to
Canada or 70 any part OF the worlc
with which we nave no daIly business
relation.
We need commercial club to lay
out campaign of development which
will make this better place to live
in. There is No Place Like Home
when everyone is trying TO make it a
better place. The time for action is
right now. We can afford TO disregard
every other issue but that of local
I'd pl6sperity, but we should be up and
doing something TO further our own
interests. We have 10 this vicinity
fine homes, good farms, good schools,
good roads and many other things
that help to make life worth living.
Let's try to make them still better
and put our money into solid improve
ments at home
