WILL REORGANIZE THE E
RURAL SCHOOL SYSTEM

Topeka, Nov. 5.---Kansas school
teachers, who will meet IN Topeka
Thursday for the annual session Of
the state association, are expected
to tart fight to obtain complete
of the Kansas school
system. About five thousand teach
ers are expected to attend the meet
ing. #
The teachers want the rural
school system changed from the
present district plan to at least a
township unit, and II possible to.
county unit, where one board OF
education will have charge OF all
the rural schools in the county.
This would do away with all weak
school districts because of the lack
Of railroad property in some sec
lions and 1t would also enable all
the rural schools OF a single county
to maintain the same standard OF
work az Is now done in the cities

NEW KYLE BRIDGE ao
es~T WILL BE POPULAR

The credit for getting the new
concrete bridge over the river be-
tween aAtfleie and Enterprise be-
longs chiefly to H. G. Kyle who
owns the old Humbarger farm. He
has BEEN talking bridge ever since
buying the farm here and it is due
in large measure to his energy that
the bride is to be built. Mr.. Kyle
represented Marion county in the
legislature several years and did 1t
with fidelity and an energy to get
something done. He donated $500
yards of sand for the new bridge
and 1t will be known as the Kyle
bridge. 1t is not expected that much
construction work will be done un-
til spring.

which votes were cast. MitchePs
plurality will be 100000 or more.
Tammany hall, which for years
has held the city In its grip, was
whipped, even the leaders of the
Tiger clan admit.
The campaign was one Of vitu-
peration and mud-slinging- the
worst in the history of New York
politicians, old-time politicians say.
The fight on Tammany, fight wag-
ed bitterly to overthrow 1t, break
down its power behind which 1t has
sat entrenched for years, and loose
its grip on city affairs, has been
likened to that against the notorious
Tweed ring.

poets everybody to come. 1t will
have some special music and three
regular picture reels. ia The house
should be filled at every show. The
show will start at 1880. Don't miss

SAYS WIND BLEW AWAY
1925 WORTH OF GOOD SOIL

John Dotan, living near Chap
man, estimates that a stiff tDuly wind
blew off his farm soil worth $3.50.
In a petition filed in the district
court this morning commencing
suit against the Rock Island he
asserts that various and sundry
fires caused by the railroad or en-
ployes damaged him to the amount
of $5O5.5O and asks Judgment for
that, along with costs of the case.
One fire, he says, burnt off all the
stubble ON a tract of land and left
the land unprotected and the wind
did damage to the amount OF 1920.
