SALARY BDOss.1I. s.I..s s5OA
Css.aHiiidJ mi TEACHERS
Raise of $3.50 a Month
Provided in Bill Which
Has Good Chance
of Passage.

The more than 5000 rural school
teachers of the state have rosy hopes of
receiving substantial increase of sal
ary. There was little opposition in the
assembly to the advancement of bill
which will increase the salary of every
rural school teachers $12.50 per month
if the teacher has obtained educational
qualifications two years in advance of
those furnished by the ordinary high
school, or similar training in any nor
NAL school or county training school.
This increase in salary will be in addi-
tion to the minimum wage of $40 per
month now enforced on school districts.
This is one of the bills having the en- :
dorsement of the administration.
To meet the complaint that rural
school teachers are continually shifting
from district to district in order to Sc
cure salary advantage, the bill pro-
vides that if teacher remains in the
same district second year she shall re-
ceive a state allowance of $3.50 the sec
ond year and 5000 for every year there
after in which she remains in such
district.

OFFICER shot;
OFFENDER PAUSED
George Hitler Sentenced to
the County Bastile Un-
til Corn Husking
Time.

In Justice 'Andro's court on Wednes-
day afternoon George Hitler drew a
sentence of ninety days in the county
bastile. He will be able to look upon
the lovely scenery about Devils lake just
as the corn comes along for the husking,
Hitler will never forget Devils lake. In
company with Ellis Reagles they went
to the resort to take look at the seen
cry and got more out of a bottle than
they did out of the landscape beau
tiful They held everyone at bay with
stones and other missiles, ,navigated the
lake in half filled boat and "cut up
jack to finish. Sheriff Hale was
summoned and when he arrived they
took to their heels at sight of the
bright star he wears. 1t was necessary
for him to shoot three times before
Hitler would surrender. When it came
time to reach conclusion in Justice
Andro's court, it was decided to fine
Reagles and he paid a total of $10.24.
AS to Hitler it was made ninety days
and by that time the resort at Devils
lake will be closed and perhaps the two
will forget about the whole affair by
next summer.
