CANDIDATES ARE
BECOMING BUSY
SCHOOL ELECTION MARCH 9 WILL
DECIDE FREE TEXT BOOKS
QUESTION:.

Candidates who are circulating petit
lions for nomination as directors or
treasurer of the school board have I'M
the secretary of the board in order to
get their names on the official ballot.
The school election will be held the
second Monday in March or the ninth
day of the month and as seven days
prior to the election the papers have to
be filed with the secretary, it makes
1t necessary that the filing be done not
later than Saturday, February % as
the following Monday will be too late.
This is the ruling laid down by Sec
rotary Wagner of the board of educa-
ton who also stated that the women
are not entitled to vote in the coming
school election. He states that as it
is only such school elections as vote
bonds or special taxes that permit the
ladies to use the ballot, they will have
no voice March 9 as voters.
A number of persons have already
started out with nomination papers to
get their names on the ballot for direc-
tor or treasurer. The terms of Direc-
tors F. A. Tisdale and S. P. Hartman
and Treasurer w. H. McElroy expire
and successors will have to be elected
for these next month.
The matter of free text books will
also be voted upon at the school cleo
ton. Secretary Wagner stated today
that the passage of the free text
book petition will increase the present
school tax to the extent of three mills.
He also stated that while it may not
be generally known the INDECENT pupils
have in the past and are still provided
with free text books. The only require
ment is that the requisition be made
on the secretary or superintendent
through the principal of the school at
which the INDECENT pupil attends:

A Suggestion to Rossetti.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti once showed
whistler sketch and asked his opin-
ion of its merits.
1T has good points, Rossetti," said
Whistler. Go ahead with it by all
MEANS"
Later he inquired how it was get,
ting along. "All right" answered
Rossetti, cheerfully. I've ordered a
stunning frame for it."
In due time the canvas appeared at
Rosseti's house in Cheyne Walk,
beautifully framed.
You've done nothing to 1t since /
saw it, have you?" asked Whistler.
Moo" replied Rossetti, but I've
written a sonnet on the subject, II
you'd like to hear it."
He recited some lines of peculiar
tenderness.
"Rossettl," said Whistler, as the re-
citation ended, take out the picture
and frame the sonnet. New York
