VERMONT BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Receiver Asked for Brandon Kaolin
Paint Company.

Rutland, April 2S.-Papers have been
filed in the Office of County Clerk II. A,
Hartman in a petition to the court OF
ehancery by Edgar n. Millar and Carroll
r. Prime of Brandon, asking the APP
pointment of receiver for the Brandon
Kaolin Paint company. The case is
somewhat unusual in that the concern
ceased to do business in 1878 and its
charter was revoked in 1905.
The petitioners own 2,425 out of 5000
shares of stock in the concern. They
assert that the company still has as
sets in mining rights in Brandon and
ask that a receiver be named to dispose
of this property. +. S. Marsh of Bran

Prime.

ANOTHER COACH
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
JARDINE REPLACED BY KNUDSON
TO MAP OUT DESTINIES OF
FOOTBALL TEAM
Interest in Athletic Activities at High
School Receive Impetus at Recent
Assembly

Responding to an earnest appeal
made by Coach Jardine of the Moscow
high school football team, at assembly
on Wednesday morning, twenty-eight
men came out for practice that night,
and ever since there have been more
than enough for two full teams. The
enthusiasm for athletics is growing
by leaps and bounds, and good school
spirit is being developed
The girls of the high school have
formed rooters' club and will as
sist the team by stirring up interest in
school athletics and developing spirit
of harmony, loyalty and strong school
bonds of friendship.
Owing to the fact that he has been
prevailed upon to take place upon
the varsity football team, Coach
Jardine is forced by conference rules
to give up his work as coach of the
high school team and Albert Knudson,
also very skilled coach, has 'een
elected to take his place.
The team decided yesterday not to
play Johnson, Washington, but their
first date is to. play Lewiston on a
week from Saturday in Lewiston.

Than democratic Deficiency

September 4 was over $122,843 900. OF
this sum nearly $75,OOO,000 is deposit
! ed in the national banks on call. To
-show that there is no necessity for
this pretended war tax is it only nee
essary to look at the record of the
general fund in the United States
treasury for each month since last Oc-
tober.
The records show that the average
balance has BEEN Sill TAI, 1862, while
on August 81 the balance was $121,-
100000 With several million more in
the treasury than the monthly aver
age has been we find our democratic
friends crying for a war tax. This
money is not needed at this time, but
every one who understands the facts
understands that there would have
been deficit of even more than $780,
100000 during this administration,
even if war had never been declared
in Europe. Why should we be burden
ing the people with additional taxes
when we have 1922, 100000 lying idle
at this time that has already been
wrung from the people by taxation?'

Prior to the meeting a concert by
the Moscow band was given. S. e.
Hutton was introduced as chairman of
the meeting and in few we'll chosen
remarks, called attention to evidence
of the people getting back to first
principles of republicanism and pay
ing tribute to Senator Brady. State
Senator D. w. Davis, who is travelling
with Senator Brady, and is in charge
of the lafter's campaign, delivered a
splendid address in defense OF the
Haines administration. He urged that

harmony with the state organization,
pointing out that through such coop

schools.
Miss Brandon is a graduate Of the
University of Colorado and has had
three years experience in iLeadville,
Colorado. She comes very highly
recommended by school authorities
of that. place. Her work here will be
with division of the GA and one of
the. 7B. The congestion in these
grades in the Irving became such thar
satisfactory work was impossible.
Miss Diether Experienced
Miss Blanch Diether is a graduate
of the Lewiston normal and has had
two years experience in the Orofino
schools. She takes division of the
"a and 3B to relieve the congestion
in the lower grades. Miss Diether is
we'll known here and the board was
fortunate in securing thoroughly
trained and successful teacher at this
time of the year.
There are other rooms which are
badly congested but lack of room pre-
vents the employment of other teach
ers to relieve this condition. At pres
ent there are fifty-one pupils in the
IA and forty-nine in the 8B.
Show Good Increase
The superintendent reported an in
creased enrolment over last year.
The present enrolment in the grades
is S13 and in the high school 243.
This is one fewer than was enrolled
in the high school at the same time
last year which considering the fact
that the commercial department was
abandoned this year and students are
not counted with the high school
shows a healthy growth.
