One new educational center of very
great interest has been established dur
ing the past year, a school of household
industries. The director describes it as
follows:
The purpose Of this school is to
train adult women in certain selected
home industries. In five or six months
of daily work in embroidery and lace
making the persons attending this
school can become very proficient in
these lines. They will then return to
their homes, or to other towns agreed
upon between themselves and the di-
rector of education, where each WON
IN will be expected to establish Il To-
cal class for instruction in her spec

School Of Household Industries. When
they shall have become proficient. she
Will employ them at fair wages. Doubt
less many OF the women who receive
instruction in local classes will be
ambitious to form similar %organiza-

BITS OF HISTORY
The name Philippines comes from
'Filipana.' Il name bestowed upon
Leyte by Nillalobus in 1913. After
various unsuccessful attempts, the
Spanish under Legaspi, with four
ships and one armed frigate, captured
Cebu In 1863, and then began the con
quest Of the islands. IN 1911, when
I.egaspi seized Manila the sovereignty
Of Spain was proclaimed over the
archipelago.
Three hundred and t~wenty-four years
elapsed between Legaspi's death and
the taking of Manila by the Ameri-
cans. during which time 116 governors
directed affairs. The Filipinos rose
against the American soldiers after
the treaty of peace with Spain was
concluded. and in 1899 the president
aDpointed a commission to investigate
conditions on the islands. Then he

that part inhabited by the Moros. and

West Fla, on the first leg of a flying

Of coal underlying this soil and the
coal companies began operations.
Probably the contracts were filed
away and forgotten. Around the
state treasurer's office there is a faint
and dim recollection that away back
sometime under someone else's admin
istration some such contract existed.
But as to it's nature or the ROYALTY
which the state was to receive or the
amount of coal that has actually been
removed from the ground in those
years, no one seems to have any de-
finite knowledge. And so Dawson pro-
poses to look for those contracts and
to collect the money to which the
state is entitled under it's provisions.
There is apparently no way in which
to determine the amount of coal which
has actually been removed from the mines
under this contract; and if any money
is ever collected it will entirely be on the
admissions of the coal companies. No in
spectors or weighmasters were provided
at these mines by the state and the rich
contract of long ago was permitted, ap-
parently, to go by default
It is even possible, the attorney generals s
office believes, that these companies mi ght
have exceeded the limits in which they

CAIN FOR HODGES

on Ballots Rejected.

Abilene, Kan, Dec. 19.-In the con-
test for register of deeds in this coun-
ty, Tom Easter, Democrat won the
contest over Mrs. B. c. Anderson.
Easter was elected on the face of the
returns by 81. In the final vote on
the contest in which only the rejected
ballots were counted, Easter had a
majority of so.
The surprise was the Capper-Hodges
vote OF the 5S ballots counted, out
of 200 thrown out, Hodges received
81 and Capper 21. OF the votes
thrown out Hodges had a big majority.
If all the ballots cast at the last cleo
uion in this county had been counted
Hodges would have increased his ma
iority rs. Most of the ballots thrown out
here were where voters had voted the
Republican ticket and then gone over
to vote for Hodges, then marked in the
squares in the Republican ticket.
Many Roosevelt ballots were thrown
out because a cross was made after
Roosevelt's name.

Wednesday he was back again, his
wife testifies. He took a breast pin
which was given to Mrs. Barrett when
she wore her hair in "pigtails' and
hadn't dreamed of the terrors of we'd
ded life, and pawned it for money to
buy the fiery liquor his system craved.
AT the same time he took the silver
spoons, the Bible, and many other ar
ticles. The family clock, given them
last Christmas by Barrett's parents,
also went and was pawned to negro
in the bottoms for so cents. Then he
got drunk and going home, entered the
house and went to bed. He was ar
rested last night by the police.
Tale of Many Hardships.
Then Judge Dana took a hand in the
questioning. The woman told OF other
hardShips. Her husband would come
home drunk, she said, wake up in the
night and want more liquor. He would
choke her until she gave up the money
she had earned. Then ne would go out,
fill up on liquor ana return for more
sleep. He. even stole her watch and
chain but she followed him and he
didn't get a chance to pawn them SO
she recovered the jeweIry. She said
he had not given her enough money to
pay a months rent in the last year
and a half. Barrett's father had set
him up in the shoe business once with
in that time. The defendant sold the
machinery and bought whisky with
the money.
Barrett was given a chance to tell
his story and attempted to lay the
blame On the woman. His story wasn't
relished by the judge and sentence
of 80 days in Jail quickly followed.
Then Barrett got busy. He wanted
to leave town and never come back.
He was also in bad health and Jail
might not agree with him. But he
went to Jail. And he probably will
not pawn any Christmas presents un-
til late in January at the earliest.
Mrs. Barrett's divorce suit was be-
gun because she did not feel like pro-
viding for her drunken husband. She
told him so but it made no difference.
She would set the table for herself
and the children and he would take the
food away from them and eat it. So
she sought the only relief offered her
and began an action for a legal separ-
alton!
