Notice to the Patrons of School
District No. 8 and the Voters
of Otero County
La Junta, Colo. March, 9th.

La Junta, Colo. March, 9Th. l9l4.
We. the undersigned members of the
school board of District No 8, Timpas
Valley. desire to call attention to and
correct certain false rumors and reports
that have gone out recently in regard to
our school and more particularly GER
tain article published In the Rocky Ford
q Azette- Topic os Wednesday, FEB. 25th.
1914. The writer Of this article seems
to have gotten his information from a
very much prejIdiced and one-sided per
son antagonistic to the school board and
| together with his own sneers and private
opinlons wrote up this article without as
certaining the true fact OF the case In
the first place. the man namsd Skinner
who was assaulted is not and was not
member of the school board. In the
next place the said writer states that one
member OF the school board fired the
teach err by himself and sent to Denver
for another one, all of which is untrue.
The board of three members notified Mr..
Burger of the charges placed against him
and that he would be tried formally on
SAID charges before the board on GER
tain day; on which day he was given a
fair and impartial trial and was given an
opportunity to put in his defense and in
troduce witnesses. etc. but he refused to
do so further than TO cross examine the
witnesses for the prosecution. The board
then acting as whole unanimously dis
charged said teacher. and unanimously
employed another. Furthermore. the
board considered that it had amp,e evi-
{ ce on which to discharge said teacher;
and this board wants it distinctly UNDER
stood that there is only one public school
in this vicinity and that the district will
not be liable for The salary of but the one
teacher
We desire also to criticize the position
of S, S. Phillips. County Supt of Schools
in this matter After this board had
unanimously discharged said teacher as
stated above, Mr.. Phillips without know
ing more about the trial etc. than what
was told him unofficially advised Mr..
Burger to 60 back after he had been law
fully discharged and to break the lock on
the school and GO in and proceed with
his school in other words Mr. Phillips
who is supposed to stand up for the
school board and local schools and school
property. has deliberately set himself
against the schools of the county and has
taken the side of practically strange
teacher and all this without seeing the
members of the board as to what had
been done.

worthy of note: The attendance was
excellent and the audience enjoyed
every number of the program. The
readings and vocal selections OF Flor

and exceedingly well rendered. She
has a deep, rich contralto voice and
was, from start to finish, a faVorite
with her audience. An unusual treat
to Hallowell people was Helen Reed
Alexander's performance on the harp.
She proved herself to be harpist of
rare skill. Both old, familiar airs and
more classic selections were played 20
the delight of all present. The size of
the audience and their enthusiastic

BOOM YOUR TOWN
What the Starting of One Industry Is
Doing for a City.

One Maine city is full of courage and
optimism, even though Maine is feel
ing, in a small degree, the effects of
the. terrible conflict across the ocean.
That city has suffered from the fact
that it's largest factory building has
been idle for years. The city has had
the designation Dead" written all over
it during the whole lifetime of men
now middle-aged. But it hasn't been
dead. 1t has been the home of several
large industries all this time. 1t has
only that huge empty factory building
in the center of the town, where every
one who passed through either by
steam train or trolley, must see it.
That factory property is now in the
hands of big shoe manufacturers. They
are getting ready to make shoes there
Just as fast as they can build benches
and install the machinery. The advent
of this concern means that every va
cant tenement in the city will be occu-
pied and that there viii be an overflow
into neighboring cities and towns. 1t
means that the grocers will sell more
groceries, the banks will take in more
savings. the BARRIERS Will shave more
faces, the milliners will make more
hats. The carpenters are already
working over time and the furniture
dealers are ANTICIPATING heavy drain
en- their stocks. The coming of the
new industry has auicSened business
rim every line in the city
All this is taking 3pIace at a time
when retrenchment and Slow buying is
the rule everywhere else. Why is this
city on the boom? Ii is because of the
coming of the new industry. A new
factory of some sort could be located
in every town in Maine if there was
some sort of an organization, repre-
scented by a competent man, to so after
/ it. That is the sort of work the De
velop Maine Movement is trying to do.
Like everything else it requires some
! finahcial backing in order to do any
thing The movement is supported by
the dollar membership fee of a large
number of individuals. Every citizen
of the State ought to DE a member The
best way is to get in touch with the To-
cal solicitor in your town. If that is not
convenient, then send your name, adj

attention by something that we can

Try to reach a painful nerve with
medicine Of any sort and you are con-
Sfronted with q fact that every doctor
knows. that the only way to reach the
nerves Is through the blood. r.
You see now why DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, the great tonic for the
blood, are also a great nerve builder
When a nerve becomes inf1amed and
painful 1t is-unless caused by an ae-
cident-because the blood was not

II needed. DR. Williams Pink Pills
build up the blood, the nerves are
strengthened, the Inflammation sub
sides and the pain vanishes. By
keeping the blood rich and red by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink pills the
danger of nervous breakdown, insom-
