Increase Voting Precincts.


A proposition was brought before
the county commissioner looking to
the increasing the number Of voting
boxes in the county This includes
the placing Of four additional boxes
in the county, outside Of the city Of
Brownsville, and two addi ional
boxes in the city. This would give
the county twenty boxes in all, it
now having fourteen. On motion,
the proposition was adopted as sub
mitted.
The law provides that when any
voting precinct has reached a point
where 1t has $50 or more voters, il
shall be cut into two or more elec-
ton precints. This occurred at sew
eral boxes in Cameron county in the
recent primary election.
The fourth ward Of the city Will
be made into two voting precincts,
instead of one as it now is. TIE
first and second wards will be made
into three voting precincts instead
of two, as they now stand.

The Mill Tax Amendment,

The improvement of rural schools
high schools and the College of Agri
culture are the things about Amend
ment 8 which interest the farmer
most. This amendment, the mill tan
amendment, provides state tax of IL
cents on the 500 valuation to be used
for the public elementary and high
schools, state normal schools, Lincoln
Institute, and the state university
Not less than % per cent is to be
used for elementary and high schools
The system, if adopted, will put
our schools on a firmer basis. They
will have . certain amount of money
for their use. This will be about the
same q at present, but will be con-
slant and certain. unlike the appropri.
atoms which the schools must depend

Prompt Justice

The following is related of a good
justice of the peace in Massachusetts
in Colonial times.
On cold night in winter traveller
called at his house for lodging. The
ready hospitality of the justice was
about being displayed, when the
stranger unluckily uttered a word
which his host considered profane.
Whereupon he informed his guest
that he was magistrate, pointed out
the nature of the offense, and ex-
planned the necessity of its being ex-
plated by sitting an hour in the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavailing, for
custom at that time allowed the mag
istrate to convict and punish at once,
and in this case the magistrate acted
as accuser, witness, jury, judge and
sheriff, all in one.
Cold as it was, the worthy justice,
aided by his son, conducted the trav-
eler to the place of punishment, an
open spot near the Westinghouse
where the stocks were placed. Here
the wayfarer was confined in the u.s.
ual manner, the benevolent executor
of the law remaining with him to be-
guile the time of its tedium by edify-
ing conversation.
AT the expiration Of the hour, he
was reconducted to the house, and
entertained until the next
morning, when the traveller depart
Bag.

To the Patrons of the Butler
Public Schools

November 5, 1912. THE second
month of school ended on October
twenty-first. 1t was month of
which all tine patrons have just cause
to be proud. AT the beginning of the
year the enrolment was forty less
than at the beginning last year. The
enrolment is now equal to that Of
last year. The work is being well
done in all the rooms and the school
spirit is excellent. The average at
tendance for the month of October
was 625 day. The per cent of at
tendance was 81 per cent. The most
of the pupils were very punctual too.
Grades 7 and 8 and grades and 6 in
the Webster School and grades S and
6 in the Franklin School are especial
ly to be commended. Neither of
these rooms had a single case of tard-
mess. In several other rooms the
record was only married by a few
children whose parents are either in
different or do not realize the import
ance of promptness and regularity
in character building.
On October 26th it was my pleas
ure to attend the exercises in rooms
l and 2 in the Franklin school. en-
joyed the programs very much. 1t
gave me even greater pleasure, how
ever, to see so many of the parents
present. There were about twenty
five mothers present. We are al
ways glad to have the parents visit
the schools for we know that they
will be pleased. We wish to give a
cordial invitation to all parents to visit
the schools at any time.
The Board of education does all
within its,power to have the school
buildings comfortable, sanitary and
attractive at all times. During vaca-
ton they have the Webster, the
Franklin and the High Schools pro-
vided with metal weather strips. This
makes it much easier to heat the
buildings with the gravity system
which is the method employed at the
Webster and the Franklin schools
For the first time in several years the
halls can be kept as warm and COM
Portable as the rooms.
To protect the pupils against con-
agious disease for several years it
1as been the practice of the Board to
nave the rooms fumigated. This is
lone several times each year. Last
week Mr.. Ed Culver was employed to
umigate the buildings which he did
n a most thorough manner with
ormaldehyde gas. This is the best
lisinfectant known to modern science.
This was not done because OF the
smallpox scare alone for it would
AVE been done anyway. If, how
'ver, there should be an epidemic of
his disease, the school buildings are
he safest buildings in town. In no
ther buildings is so much attention
'iven to heating, ventilation and dis r
injecting. q
wish to urge all parents to send '
heir children to school regularly, to y
ee to it that the children are not 1.
ardy and to have their children above 8

Everybody is busy figuring out
how to do full justice to the work
staring them in the face for the
next three weeks, or how best to
get around the most of it.
Quite a few have been up t. Sho-
shone the past few weeks trying to
explain, but to no avail. Nothing
seems to satisfy the Judge but well
filled pocketbooks, which are about
as numerous az hens teeth on this
tract. In justice to those who so
generously contributed to the County
Treasury, and others, we would like
to ask, How about those I'M
bridged coulees and other water
ways the poor settler has to wade,
wallow, or swim every time he
travels on the public highways of
this county" We would like to
hear from Others on this subject.
The sporting population of Pleas
ant Plains was out in full numbers
last Sunday at the Schneeberger
ranch, where Grand View and the
West End Sluggers crossed bats.
AS predicted, Grand View carried
home the bacon by a score of Is to
4. Both teams played good ball,
but it was plain to see that the
loosing team was outclassed from
start to finish.

man is trying his best to be remem-
