TEACHER MUST HAVE FOUR
CHILDREN TO QUALIFY

Spokane. Wash, Sept S.-Require-
ments that have never been named
anywhere in the United States or in
the Dominion of Canada by a board
of trustees looking after the welfare
of the little red school house, are ex-
acted in the Gordon district, Shoshone
county, Idaho, 125 miles east of Spo-
kane, where the teacher qualifying for
the position must have four or more
children. There is a legal reason for
this stipulation, which, stripped of it's
yerbiage, means there is only one
child of school age in the district
The law requires the enrolment
shaA be not less than five. The dis
trict, which is in the heart of the rich
est lead and silver producing country
in the world, boasts of new and fully
equipped school house, a modern
library and $4,000 in surplus funds.
The salary attached to the position is
/ 800, The district must lapse If the
| requirements are not carried out, and
as last resort, the trustees are search
ling for teacher to supply the pupils.
The Gordon district has been a sort
of family community for years. Two
children of two couples, A. Oswald and
A. Mason, composed the enrolment
until recetnly,- when the Mason family
moved to another part of the north
west, leaving Oswald, his child, a
teacher and two mining prospectors
behind The Mason family has four
children Four children of school age
are needed to take their places at
once, else the school district will be
abolished
The trustees are in a quandary. They
have sent out scouts to find a capable
woman with sufficient family to make
lup the roll call but so far none has
qualified. They now appear ready to
crowd youth and beauty and even a
certain amount of efficiency into the
background in an effort to perpetuate
the district school.

own and knowing the value Of good
seed, sends in his order accompanied
by good cash He receives in return,
wheat that in many instances is
scarcely fit for chicken feed If he be-
comes angry enough to investigate, he
finds that the dealer has no finan-
cial responsibility and he has no re-
course. The faker has his money and
lie has the worthless wheat
The board Of agriculture does not
propose to permit such practices, and
if the proper information Is furnished,
will take steps to prosecute the guilty
parties. The farmer can help by send
ing in information and by refusing to
purchase from such fellows
Don't buy seed wheat unless you
know what you are buying Insist on
having the wheat you buy inspected.
or, if it has not been inspected, get a
sample and send it to the board OF
agriculture 1t will be tested without
cost to you and a report will be sent
you Immediately. Or perhaps better
still, write TO the board at Oklahoma
City and get a list Of farmers having
inspected seed wheat for sale Such
lists are kept always on hand for the
benefit of those who wish them.
Don't be buncoed. White the board
of agriculture about any fellow whom
you catch trying to play this fraud.

SEED WHEAT FRAUDS AS
PRACTIC'D IN OKLAHOMA

Complaints are coming in to the
state board of agriculture of seed
wheat frauds being perpetrated ON
farmers in various parts of the state
by unscrupulous seed takers" The
scarcity of good seed wheat in Okla
homa this year helps the takers to
carry out the fraud.
The method usually followed is this:
The faker adyertises seed wheat of
fabulous purity and productyeness.
On account of its exceptional quality
he asks a high price; and he adds
that cash must accompany orders. The
farmer having no seed wheat of his

Henceforth the third edition Of Barnes

in the public schools not only because the
second edition is out of print. but because.
in the opinion OF Patrick F. MCGOWAN, for
mer President of the Board of Aldermen,
its account of the assault on Maryes
Heights. Maryland. in the Civil War.
doesn't give General Thomas Francis
Meagher's Irish Brigade sufficient credit.
At the first fall meeting of the Board OF
Education yesterday Mr.. MCGOWAN called
the account of the battle in the second edi-
| ton ''mutiated." but he agreed that the
third edition distributed the glory equitably.
Mr.. McGOwans complaint against the sec
ond edition caused an investigation of the
subject by the committee on studies and
| textbooks. Arthur $. Somers. chairman
of this committee. reported yesterday a
recommendation that copies of the second
edition still on the school shelves be taken
up and copies OF the third edition substi-
tuted. a recommendation which the board
adopted.
Another question to come before the
| board yesterday was that of providing
drinking fountains in the schoolhouses. Re-
cent legislation has made illegal the COM
mon drinking cups now used by the school
children, and to provide them with indi-
vidual cups twice day, as the law requires
in case cups are used at all, would involve
the purchase of 2SOc0O,O0o cups year. John
| Greene. chairman of the Committee on
Finance, estimated that he needed $3l $40
| TO install the proper fountains President
| Egerton l.. Winthrop, jr., of the board, eX-
| planned that proper" fountains did not
mean those to he found now in several of
! the city's parks which require the drinker
| to lean far over if he would consume the
! little stream that bubbles up vertically.
| Such fountains give mischievous boys too
| good an opportunity to punch the helpless
drinkers head down upon the pipe and
break his teeth.
The experts in charge of the matter. the
president explained. have decided upon a
| type of fountain which leaves the drnker
comparatively upright, which requires that

ONeil intimated that he believed the
Governor would soon appoint "A new

Sullivan has repeated his determination
not to serve again. Meanwhile, the

Pollock.

cate strongly that the Friday night pout

EXPLAINS RISE IN SUGAR
The American Refining Company
Says Crop Failure Is Cause.

The American Sugar Refining Company
the largest producer Of refined sugar IN
this country, has issued a statement, CIV
inc some of the causes for the sharp rise
i'm sugar consumed in the household. One
of these is a shortage of 100000 tons in the
Cuban crop, most of which comes to this
country 1t Is estimated that the heat and
drouth in Europe this summer have reduced
the beet sugar crop of France, Germany
and Austria from 100000 to 100000 tons.
This scarcity has caused excessive specula-
ton in Europe and raised London and
Hamburg prices ~ cents pound since
June Is the statement says. Growers OF
cane sugar, i'm the face of deficit in the
beet sugar crop and an anxious demand
have raised the price of their product l as
cents a pound since the same date, II Is
explained
The American Sugar Refining Company
does not produce raw sugar. and is de
pendent like other companies, on the sugar
from Cuba Porto Rico, the philippines
Hawaii. Java and other countries, and has
had to meet the prices asked on June j.
raw sugar was 3.S9 cents a pound, and last
week SO cents pound. Granulated sugar
was 40 cents in June. and recently go
cents a pound.
The company says that the domestic crop
promises TO be good, and by the time the
harvesting Is in full progress next month
the present furry should disappear"
This elaborate statistical explanation
comes Just as millions Of housewives are
buying between ten and thirty pounds of
sugar extra for canning and preserving
purposes. In the statement OF the sugar
company no mention is made OF the COIN
