Wednesday Afternoon Session
The board met at the office with
Chairman earn and Mr.. Bitch pres
ent
The secretary called attention to
the matter of the Pedro district in
that for last year the school had been
operated at an expense of SIS per
month less than the appropriation to
which they would have been entitled
upon the average made during the
preceding term and the understanding
that whatever amount could be saved
upon operating expenses should be APP
piled to the discharge of the outstand-
ing warrants. This was agreed to and
it was ordered that the county use $50
in the discharge of outstanding Pedro
warrants.
The superintendent reported the Sc
lection of Misses Carolyn Pasteur and
Miss Minnie Lee Carlisle and Mr.. e. C.
Boyd as members of the grading COM
mittee for the present teachers ex-
animation.
No further business appearing the
board adjourned to meet in regular
session on Tuesday, July 2, 1912.

DEPARTMENT
(Mrs. r. A. Burford, Editor.)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THE
TAX PAYERS

Does it ever occur to the average
tax payer that We are after all a most
extravagant and impractical people?
The biggest bill that the community
or the state which tolerates the legal
lied saloon has to pay is its drink
bill. About the next largest is for
the maintenance of such institutions
as juvenile courts, detention homes,
orphan asylums, boys and girls re-
formatories, rescue missions, insane
asylums, work houses and peniten-
tiaries, all made necessary by the
drink evil
Does it ever occur to the tax payer
that if, for a period of ten years, we
were TO put out of existence the sa-
loon, the enormous bill We are now
footing annually for the care for the
poor and sick and neglected and un-
fortunate in the great county and
state institutions would come to be a
negligible quantity?
Does it ever occur to the tax pay
ers that by abolishing the saloon,
many of the men for whom they are
now paying taxes would soon come
to pay taxes on their own account?
Does it ever occur to the tax payer
that the drinking men of the country
are paying over the bar of the open
saloon what little tax the saloon
keeper boasts so loudly of paying,
and that in addition they are swelling
the already bursting Golfers of the ar
rogant whiskey trusts?
The man who is paying taxes, eth
er directly or indirectly, over the
bars of the saloons, should think Sc
riously of this situation, even from
the sordid basis of dollars and cents.

VIENNA, Aug. 1o.-Constderabl Bile in
dignation has been caused among WON
en- in Vienna by the utterances Of the
patriarch cardinal Cavallari.
After making long quotation from
the words OF st. Peter on feminine
vanities, the cardinal, in a recent SER
mon, said:
"The extravaganza Of women's dress
has reached such a point today that
even men-I don't speak Of Christians,
but the ordinary men IN the street
feel disguised.
Allow me to tell you what indecent
clothing is consider that dresses
which permit the arms and a great
part Of the neck to be seen. or IN which
they are only slightly covered with lace
or transparent materials, are indecent.
Further. skirts which cling to the form
may be regarded as indecent and az
likely to destroy all feelings OF natural
modesty
How can respectable women appear
in public thus arrayed? I declare for
my part that ] viii not permit women
80 bedecked to attend confirmation,
either as spectators or as godparents

exclude every person who thus shows
her want Of respect for the Holy Sac

his widow.
Ten years ago, after two years hard
work IN store and by studying at
night, Mrs Baur, then pretty Bertha
DupDler became a stenographer. The
Job was too purely mechanical for a
woman Of her genius. She enlarged

to Postmaster Coyne and earned the
largest salary ever paid TO a woman in
the United States postal service.
When Coyne was succeeded by Post
master Busse the latter could find no
one competent to succeed Miss Duppler
as secretary. She was secretary under
Busso and again under Postmaster
Campbell.
She studied law at night and was
admitted to practice. She took up art
