NO truth
IN the Statement Current That
schunek Had Disposed of
Old BIOOdhOunds.

Leo Schunck continues to find Gag
er buyers for all his bloodhound pups
and has sold the last few days to
the following parties: One pup to D.
E. TilIman, South Whitley, Ind; one
pair to Sheriff Mccain, of Columbia,
South Carolina; one pair to A. P
Welch, of Olanta, South Carolina,
and one pup to the Brookwood Ken
mel at Lexington, Ky.
The sale of a pair to Policeman
Druley, of Decatur, Ind, started the
rumor that Mr. Schunck had dispos-
ed of his old dogs, but such is not
the case. BUYERS for the old dogs
have been numerous, but they are not
for sale at any price and will be kept
at home to do police work when their
services are needed.

SCHOOLS.
Open Monday Under Most Fa-
VOrabIe Circumstances
Superintendent POgue Hands Out
Some Suggestions That
Should BE Needed.

The local public schools viii opeI
next Monday morning with what pro
misses to be the most successful
school year in the history of the
schools. At the instigation of Super
intendent Pogue the Board of Edu
cation have made several changes be
| lieved to be very advantageous.
Kindly announce that all school
children are urged to be in theii
Llaces promptly at half past eight Oh
next Monday morning." said Prof
Pogue. Il like to see pupils be
prompt, and | feel that they gain by
starting off promptly on the first day
of school.
at has usually been the custom to
admit all children to school who are
six years of age or who will be six
before the following January. This
custom will be followed this year,
providing the enrolment in the first
grades is not too large.
''As three courses will be offered
in the high school this year, parents
and scholars are urged to consider
them carefully, and If possible to be
prepared to report the one desired
by Monday morning. If further ex-
planation of these courses is desired,
| will gladly give any information l
can. 1t will be very important that
high school pupils choose the course
that will do them the most good and
the same time the one they can take
to readily,
81 would suggest that high school
pupils do not purchase second hand
books until they are sure what books
they will use this year as a change
in courses has necessitated a change
in few of the text boks. The only
change of books in the grades is the
advanced Physiology which has been
supplanted by 'OveBton's General
Hygiene.

been fully decided upon by the
Board" said Prof. Pogue, "and
feel that we are all ready for the big
opening. The final teaching assign
ments were made by the board at
their meeting last Monday night Sc
veral new faces are among the list
of teachers for this year. John V.
VanDuesen, of Columbus, will have
charge of the new commercial cour-
ses, while G. VI Sensebaugh, of Rock
ford, will succeed Raymond Schirack
as teacher of German and English.

AS the vines along the w4yside

their slender stalks are reaching out
ward and upward that they may
make for themselves a place in the
world, so among the people in the
submerged parts of our cities, there
are here and there those who long
for a different atmosphere and are
lifting up their hands for help. But
the vines there may spring
up an oak upon whose branches the
tiny arms of the vine cling unit; they
have climbed into the brighter sun
shine and cleaner atmosphere.
For the human hands, reaching
lp for higher and nobler things, the
teacher is often the oak to which
they may cling and thus be lifted
Out of their misery and aggregation.
The public school teacher cannot
care for the child defective in men

Robbers, presumably local dope
fiends, stole, something like one
thousand one-grain morphine tablets
from the office Of DR.. J. e. Hattery
sometime last Thursday evening.
The doctor made a hurry call about
supper time and left the door to his
consultation room standing partly
ajar. The thieves seemed familiar
with the surroundings, They enter
ed the consultation room through the
doctors supply room, pried open his
instrument case and ransacked until
they found the morphine tablets.
They also carried bottle of atropia
from the case, but undoubtedly de-
cided they didn't want It and left
it in the supply room. No clew to
the robbers has been found.
