NEED LARGER SCHOOL
FOR FOREIGNERS HERE

Because of the success Of the
work being done by the Rev. D. M.
Cleland, at the Citizens School for
non-English speaking people at Elm
and Van Buren streets, the present
building, as it now stands, Is hardly
large enough to admit of the work
being carried on successfully, and II
plans to the effect can be carried
out, the building will be bought and
remodeled so as to be more fully
suited for the work.
The work is greatly handicapped
because of lack of room. as only two
OF the eight rooms can. be used now,
because of their small size, and for
the past month, the largest class has
been held in the auditorixm or for
mer store room of the building.
Mr.. Cleland, who has had large ex-
perience in the educational work for
foreigners, and who has recently
written a number OF short stories,
based on actual experience, on the
value OF the English schools to the
communities giving his personal at
tention to the work in this city, and
is extremely desirous that a model
school be established here. which is
not at all impossible if the general

BILLTOWN SORE
OVER OPPOSITION
Reports Say BilltOwnerS VIII
Force Their Return to
Tri-State

Now comes a wall from Williams
port because It was said the baseball
fans did not care to see "Billtown"
back in the game. That was to be
expected The only thing that will
help Williamsport to have Tri-State
team would be a vacancy in the pres
ent circuite and the purchase of a
franchise by the Williamsport back
ers, and there are no vacancies at the
present time.
Now that everything appears to be
going along smoothly there is gem
eral impression prevailing that it
would be folly to start trouble by hav-
ing Williamsport admitted. Trenton
is the only town that looks shaky and
Il is reported that the recent move In
Trenton to prevent the confirmation Of
the sale Of the Trenton ownings and
franchise in bankruptcy came as a re-
suit Of an offer from Williamsport mag
mates to pay a higher price than was
bid by the Trenton hackers, with a
view to saving something for last sea-
sons losses.
If this report is true, Williamsport
hopes to force the Tri-State to take
them back However, the stories
have no official source and the Tri-
State fans hope that the representa-
tives will act for the best interest OF
the league and maintain the present
circuit, which looks good to them.

minstrel is famous Each year an en-
tirely new feast OF surprises and de-
lights for the eye and ear is prepared

Instead of the automatic semi-cir-
Gle for the opening spectacle a dis
play through which runs a plot has
been prepared. The title "Minstrelsy
Past and Present" gives clue to the
possibilities that have been worked
out. and the scene, hotel veranda
and lawn at Ormond Beach, Florida
on the eve OF the great automobile
races affords an opportunity for a
tropical scenic production that en-
ploys a number Of startling mechan-
ical effects.
AT the conclusion of a program OF

bile races are shown in their entirety
while the comedians are afforded
chances to create gales of Laughter

OUR COUNTY OFFICERS
Have Entered Upon New Terms
A Number of Changes

A number of changes took place
in the official personnel Of De-
Soto county on Tuesday of this
week. The terms of Office of all
Officials expired on the day before,
and both the new officers and
those who are "hold-overs," all
commissioned by the governor for
a full term from the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in January
of this year, are now giving at
tention to their respective duties.
The board of commissioners is
composed entirely of new MEM
bers, but they are all capable
gentlemen of the highest integrity,
and will render invaluable service
to the county. On organizing,
the board elected V. w. Surrency
of Bowling Green, us chairman.
The other members are: John
Hagan of Charlotte Harbor, H. j..
Dowing of Fort Ogden, w. q.
Wells of Arcadia, and Joseph
Crews of Zolfo.
The county school board is com
posed of d. B. Hogan, 4. b. Nc
Clelland and H. A. Ware, all good
and capable men.
Cyril Baldwin as tax collector,
and H. g. Murphy as assessor,
have entered upon second term
in their respective offices, having
been reelected at the fall election.
j. l.. Dishong succeeded A. g..
Freeman as sheriff; A. l.. Dur
rance is the new clerk of the cir
cult court, succeeding H. E. Carl
ton, who held the Office for several
successive terms; and HI. l.. Carl
ton bs county treasurer succeeds
j. A. Hendry.
All the new county officers are
we'll known gentlemen who will
give their best efforts to faithful
performance of the duties encumb-
ent upon them; and those who are
''hold-overs" have won the conid-
ence of all citizens of the county
in the efficient conduct of their
Offices, rs is attested in their hav-
ing been reelected.
The retiring off Gals have served
efficiently and merit the commend,
alton of an appreciative constitu-
ency. They can carry with them
the consciousness of having faith
fully performed their duties.
