MOTHERHOOD FOR
TEACHERS CAUSES
SENSATION IN NY

NEW YORK, July 21.-Does
marriage and motherhood inter-
fere with woman's efficiency as a
public school teacher? That is
the question now agitating the
New York board of education, and
many civic bodies throughout the
Greater City have taken the prob
lem up. The question has be-
come such burning issue that
the other day $50 men and wo-
men, teachers, lawyers, writer's
and actresses, formed themselves
into league for the Civic Serv-
ice of Women, which will in the
fall begin an active campaign in
the interests of married women
teachers.
The argument started when
Mrs. Katherine G. Edgell, a men,
Der of the Erasmus high school
faculty, formally applied to the
board of education for a years
leave of absence without pay for
the purpose of bearing and rear
ing child. The board, after con-
siderable debate and deliberation
refused Mrs. Edgell's request.
The newspapers and periodicals
got hold of the story and gave
it much space, arousing discussion
throughout the city. Fuel was
added to the flame when Mrs.
Bridget G. Peixotto, Bronx
teacher, was suspended indefi-
nitely for staying away from
school to give birth to a baby.

BURGLAR, SHOT
in Hotel, is
HIDING

Somewhere in Tacoma bur-
glar is hiding in a darkened room,
nursing a bullet wound and list
ening for the detectives. He may
die in that room. Tho nature of
his wound is not known, but ii is
believed that he is mortally in
tured.
The burglar was discovered at
an early hour this morning at
tempting to pry off a skylight
of Drumm's liquor house, 1906
South G street. A roomer in the
Oakland hotel, 1910 c street, dis
covered him, and sent hurry
call to The police. A few minutes
later the burglar learned that he
was being watched, and darted
into a window of the Brenden no.
tel, to be met by the revolver fire
of Night CLERK G. P. Hagen.
Staggering out of the hotel, the
night-prowler groaned hoarsely
and almost fell down the stairs.
He reached G street and disap-
peared, staggering painfully. No
blood was found by detectives to-
day, and for this reason it is be-
lieyed the burglar was shot in the
breast.

THAW DUN PED OUT.

The unceremonious way in which
Thaw was fired out of Canada by the
immigration officials shows the esti-
nation in which he Is held by the
people Of that country who are in au-
thority. Thaw, with his wealth and
his many lawyers, was able to delay
British justice for some time, and
there began to be a suspicion on his
side of the line that the Wanted
promptness of the Canadian courts was
no more proof against extreme wealth
and Yankee lawyers than American
courts.
But when the affair was taken out
Of the hands Of the lower courts, ac-
ton came with surprising. swiftness,
and Mr.. Thaw's lawyers received the
jolt Of their lives. The immigration
authorities looked upon Thaw as they
would any other undesirable, and he
was dumped back into the United
States without ceremony.
There are diverse opinions about
Thaw in this country. Many people
seem to think him a. much abused
man. There is one thing which has
stood out in an Illuminating fashion,
during his stay in Canada. He has a
morbid desire to hold the center Of the
stage. In several dispatches which
have been received, giving some angle
of the fight to deport him, the news
paper men covering the case stated that
the one thing in which Thaw seemed
to be supremely interested was in the
publicity that he was to receive.
May it not be that Thaw Is insane
on this subject? Undoubtedly one Of
the things which actuated Thaw in
shooting White was the knowledge that
it would throw him into the glare of
the spotlight of publicity. The spec
tacular manner he chose to pot his
victim is proof of that.
Thaw is a poor creature at best, a
man with a little brain, and too much
money. There are others of the same
stripe and many of them are not be-
hind bars.

EFFECTS OF GOOD FARMING
EVIDENT AROUND NEW SALEM

New Salem, N. D., Sept. 11.-Like
many other portions Of North Dakota
the effects Of thorough farming can be
seen' after you cross the Missouri
| river into Morton county. New Salem
is a town of over 700 population and
has become q commercial center of no
little Importance in the course of but
a few years.
New Salem has advanced rapidly
due to the fact that diversified farm
ing has been followed right from the
start. The dairy industry has been
one. of the chief factors among the
farmers in this vicinity, and should
the grain crop fail during any year
the farmers could realize enough from
their dairy products to provide for.
their living.
The Holstien Breeders association
at New Salem is the only organization
of it's kind in the state, has been
the means of providing a high grade
Of dairy stock for the farmers in this
part of Morton county. New Salem
was the former home of State Dairy
Commissioner Flint, now Of Bismarck,
who has labored a good many years in
advancing the dairy interests here.
For a number of years Mr.. Flint was
manager of the New Salem creamery
which is one of the best butter manu-
featuring plants in the state, and has
made New Salem the banner dairy
town of North Dakota. During the
year of 1912 this creamery manu-
featured 1,165, 900 pounds of butter
which equaled one train load of thirty
cars. New Salem also has an active
commercial club which besides. help
ing to promote and develop the diff
ferent enterprises of the town has al
49,. 49,. + a.
advancement of h dairy interests
which has made New Salem such an
important factor in the commercial
interests of North Dakota. ~
Not alone is the country tributary
to New Salem adapted entirely to
dairy farming, but a large crop Of
grain is raised in this section every
year as we'll. One of the largest
mercantile concerns in New Salem is
the New Salem Mercantile Co, a local
concern which was established with
local capital entirely and is operated
and managed by local business men.
VIM. Lehfeld. a local. capitalist is
president, J. A. Miller, n of the most
popular young business men of the
town Is secretary, while +. g. Wein-
rich is treasurer and manager. This
company was organized in 1908 with
a capital stock Of $4,000, and sup
plies the farmers with lumber, hard
ware and building material of all
kinds. A grain elevator is also oper-
ated in conjunction, and last year this
company purchased over 200, 900
bushels of grain from local farmers.
There are two other lumber yards
located here, the Durham Lumber Co.
or which o. N. Durham or Bismarck,
is at the head, and also the plant of
the Mandan Mercantile Co. Many ma ;
chinery dealers are located here,
among whom is Philip Blank and also
the firm of Schultze & Toppins. Both
Philip Blank and Max Scnuitze ore
among the pioneers Of the town and
have prospered mere.
Among the leading stores here are
