Prof. Knowlton Has Resigned.

Secretary Rollins received a let
ter yesterday containing Professor
w. P. Knowlton's resignation from
the duties of principal of the Den
nison High School. Mr.. Knowlton
gives as his reason for resigning
that he has decided to give up school
work for the present to take up a
flattering proposition offered him
by large book concern. This leaves
the Dennison school without a prin-
cipal for this fall, and consequently
the school board will have to get
busy at once to pick new man for
the place. Mr.. Knowlton's many
Dennison friends will regret that
he will not return.-Dennison Bull

car is equipped with cantileyer rear
springs which are probably the easiest

Model 75. as the New Overland is
known. is designed and built 20 meet
the requirements Of those who prefer
smaller, lighter and more economical
car. Although the wheelbase of 1O4
inches allows a body providing COM
Portable seating capacity for five pas

pounds. This light weight assures the
utmost in economical operation.
This Overland is a real family car,

manufacturing facilities for producing
cars in large quantities, The WHY'S

market a car of this type at a price
that would be out Of the question for
a smaller manufacturer.

London. June s.--when he found that speech, which had been lost through concussion. had returned to him, Private Pointer of the London Rifles, spent "a whole night in the general hospital at, Lincoln talking to himself. He feared to lose it if he dtd not keep it up, yet he did not want to call oAtto the night sister for fear she might faint So he waited until the attendant came around with his morning, cup of tea, then remarked: >''Shove it down there, old chap-' For this he was showered with the tea by the agitat- ed attendant
 Pointers case has been of intense Interest in the hospital, as a. case of loss of speech, taste and hearing. due to the explosion of a giant shell near him in the battle line. He now seems to be recovering his hearing also.

RRITONS STILL FIGHT
 HIGH COST OF LIVING

London, June s.-There is no halt in the advance in the cost of living in England. The index figures in the London Statist show that the aver age icrease in prices of food-stuffs since the beginning of the war is 8 per cent This represents an in crease of about a, billion dollars in the sum expended for food since Au- gust L The 'disconcerting thing about these figures to the English student of statistics is that the greater part of the profit from higher prices win accrue to farmers in foreign coun- tries, whereas a hundred years ago, during the Napoleoric wars, praci- cal1y the whole of the advantage of the high prices then current was reaped- by British farmers and land owners.
 In normal times g. great rise in prices checks consumption, but so far as England is concerned the present advance as failed to do this, the enor- mous>war expenditure having brought much additional income to the in dustria1 classes with the result that the purchasing power of the mass of people has increased more than surf Gcfeut1y to provide for the advance in the cost of living Consequently there has been no reduction in con sumption In fact, the consumption of food in recent months has shown expansion rather than contraction.

DUTCH TRADE WITH
 GERMANY BOOSTED

Amsterdam, June s-The Fele- graaf's weekly trade reports from correspondents on the German bor- der indicate that Dutch trade with tGermany, both import and export, is Increasing rapidly, as facilities are tnproved and the proper channels for trade become better known. The 1mports from Germany consist large lE of goods bound for the United Etates. The exports are mainly food supplies
 The Telegraaf's report from Win terswyix says:
 Traffic with Germany both im- port and export, was again excep- tiona1ly heavy during the past week. About $50 more carloads of fuel were Imported than the week before, and the supply of various kinds of man. alfactured goods Is still maintained in khe same degree and is especially of InnpoFtance' to America
 Altogether there came from Ger E11any into WintArswyk tw6 thousand carloads, of which 44o were nanu- factured goods, and the rest coal, bri- quettes and coke. There were also large quantities of cement, pig iron Rnd toys.
 'FFhe export to Germany has hard Ny ever been as, heavy during the past week. This was in the first place Saused by large consignments pota- Hoes and meat, reaching 9 total of k275 carloads. In addition there was butter, cheese, eggs, tropical fruits, gtapioca, arrowroot, bananas, tobacco. raw cotton, old iron, and an Eastern root, the flour of which can be uti- Hszed in the preparation Of bread"

HIGH COST OF LIVING
 AS CAUSE OF RTOTING

London, June 8.-Mnch of the breaking and footing of shops during the asuti-Gern1an riots was due, says Sylvia Pankhurst, to the increased cost of living The English shops to suffer had all created hostility among their customers by ,pEtting up prices, in most cases without warrant.
 In the suffrage organ, Votes for Women, 1t is pointed out that a large number of wives of Germans, inno- cent sufferers because of these riots, are English women. While these English women must live on greatly reduced incomes through the intern ment of their husbands, the Ger man wives of EngIishmen, who by reason of blood and education might very well be supposed to have pro- German sympathies, are free and un-, mo1ested.
 Suffragists tried to have the aliens act amended so as to protect the English wives of alien enemies, but failed when the bill was put through last August.
