lican opponent, Marcelino Mar

Schools May Close

Nearly all the outlying school
districts Of Mora county have re-
ceived notice from the county
school superintendent that they
will be obliged to close their ses-
sions because of lack of funds to
pay the salaries of the teachers.
The district school directors, es.
pecially those in the eastern end
Of the county, are highly indig.
nant and have senta petition to
Governor Mcdonald asking him
to at once institute an investiga-
ton Of the affairs of the county
to ascertain what has become OF
the funds. The affairs of the
county have been for many years
in the hands of one set of officials
and lack of confidence, born OF
some rather raw deals, has arous-
ed the people who are vigorously
asking an investigation and an
explanation of the county finances

Shamrocks Win Contest
SCORE 114-1Oa

The second bi-monthly CO ntes
between the Shamrocks and the
Crescent societies of the public
schools was held at the High
School building last night.
The program was an excellent
one and had been carefully pre-
pared by the two sides, each de-
termined to do their very best.
The building was crowded, two
of the rooms being completely
iammed, but the very best of
order was in evidence. Every
one present was highly pleased
with the program, which was
rendered without a hitch and con
sisted of solos, duets. recitations
readings, ciphering match and
last and best the two class songs
which were Immediately followed
by the class wells, both of which
gave evidence that we have some
strong lunged scholars in the
school
The two sides are now nearly
even, each having about 1l5
points. 1t is impossible to tel
which will be the winning side al
the school. However, both sides
are confident Of victory.
Such entertainments are surely
a great help to our school ant
town and the two societies are tc
be congratulated on the manner
in which they are conducting the
contests.
The patrons will wait will
eagerness for the next contest
which will probably be given th'
latter part of March and both th'
societies promise better pro
gram than ever on this occasion

D ,.
A-party of farmers from School

of the party was r. W. Eaton, F.
&. Epps, F. 0. Searight, Wm.
Fleiss, L. M. Allen, ]. S. Black,
W. W. Day and F. G. Campbell.
A peculiar financial condition ex-
lists in this district. The school
board had planned for q four
months school out of their sup
posed funds. They had $50 of
the apportionment, $40 of a
special levy and $40 more from
other known sources due them.
Of this amount which they had a
right to expect and from which
they had not drawn a penny the
Powers at Mora" kindly advise
them that there is $18.75 deposit
ed to their credit. 1t was prob
ably an oversight that the county
bosses neglected to state what
they had done with the rest Of
the money. The school board is
Withholding the $40 poll tax
which they have collected fearing
the if it gets to Mora it will shrink
in proportion to the rest. This
instance emphasizes the call foi
an investigation of the schoo
funds of the county as well a:
other funds and makes immediate
and drastic measures to secure
reform and restitution impera
tive.

formed by throwing quantities Of fine
sand over the animal. Jimmy was
then rubbed down and anointed with
