RUSSIANS HAVE NOT
YET SUCCEEDED IN
OCCUPYING VARNA

London. Dec. 23.-The fate OF
varna, Bulgarian Black sea port, is
clouded today in conflicting reports.
From several sources came stories
indicating the place has been under
heavy Russian bombardment.
Reports that varna had been cap
tured by the Russians were disposed
of thus by Petrograd message to-
day: Two Russian torpedo boats
pursued a torpedo boat toward
Varna. Bulgarian shore batteries
forced them to withdraw"
At the same time a Bucharest dis
patch said 40 Russian vessels. in
cluding mine sweepers. crept in close
to varna under a heavy curtain Of
fog and bombarded the city. With
out mentioning any landing, the re-
port said that the Russian squadron
returned to its base nearby.
Despite these statements, the News
printed an Athens dispatch saying
the Russians had landed Monday at
varna.

MORE UNNECESSARY REGULA-
TION.

The ruling Of the supreme court
that the Portland school board was
not justified in dismissing a school
teacher because she was married
opens up an angle to the contro-
versy not especially pertinent to the
wedding bells part of the issue. The
marriage of the teacher may or may
not have impaired her usefulness,
and marriage alone could not be
taken as an arbitrary reason for dis
missal. But the decision of the court
indicates that the school board has
become somewhat OF a nonentity so
far as its direction of the affairs of
the district is concerned. Too much
red tape is finding its way into public
affairs. and regulation and control
from an authority higher up is
impairing rather than increasing ef-
ficiency in many lines. The results
obtained by the teacher should de-
termine her value to the district,
and certainly none should be in a
better position to decide that ques-
tion than the school board. If the
board thinks that the assumption OF
the matrimonial yoke has impaired
the usefulness of teacher, male or
female, it ought to be qualified to
act In the matter, just as it ought to
act IL the usefulness Of teacher is
impaired from any other reason. The
machinist who fails to give satis-
faction when placed in charge of a
piece of machinery is discharged
without ado, and as much considera-
tion should be shown the delicate
human machine. The school board
is in the best position to know when
1t is time to dispense with the SER
vices of any individual teacher, and
1t should not be bound down with
too much regulation from outside.
Another point that has evident un-
fairness for the district is the op-
portunity given the teacher to resign
at any time 1t happens to be to the
teachers advantage, often leaving
the school in the lurch and disturb
ing the work Of many departments
The district is entitled to at least as
much consideration in this matter as
the individual.

Prepare Now For Dear
 Eggs Next Fall

If the farmer wishes to bene- fit by the high prices that eggs are certain to bring next fall and winter, should begin to get ready for them at once, say the poultry specialists in the department. The way to have eggs late in the year is to hatch bullets early. 1t is the early matches from which the early bullets are derived that are the largest money makers for the poultry producer. The early matched cockerels can be marketed in almost any market in America when they attain a weight of three-fourths of a pound to a pound and a half each, whick they should reach at about 6 to 10 weeks of age, respectively, at greater profit to the producer than at any other time of their lives. The early matched bullets, if proper lly grown, should begin to lay in the fall at the time when eggs are scarce and high in price. |
