Superintendent Gives Notice
Concerning New School Law

Superintendent Of Public Instruction
Churchill is notifying county superin-
tendents and teachers that among the
changes in the school laws whicn will
become effective on May 22nd, next,
are several pertaining to the certfica-
tion of teachers. Senate bill No, So pro.
vides that physiology shall be taken
by applicants for one-year certificates
instead of physical geography, as at
present.
In the rush and confusion during the
closing hors of the session, this bill
was amended, and through mistake
physical geography was omitted entire
ly; hence for the next two years ap;
plicants will not take physical geog
raphy when applying for any kind of
certificate.
Hereafter the summer teachers ex-
animation will begin on the fourth We'd
nesday in June, instead of the third
Wednesday as at present, but no change
was made in the date for the December
examination.

Henry CIewS' Weekly
Financial Letter

New York, Feb. 24.-War influences
continue to dominate the stock market.
This week sterling exchange broke to
4.79, the lowest figure recorded. A
sharp recovery followed upon rumors
that large foreign government credits
were to be established on this side; but
the crisis in exchange necessitated
fresh adjustment to war conditions,
which are now being more keenly felt
than at any time since the struggle
began. Our foreign trade is being
conducted under very abnormal and un.
staple conditions. In December the
loss Of imports was about $7O,OOO,OOO,
chiefly in raw silk, wool, coffee, cop.
per and textiles. Exports during the
same month increased about $l2,000,0O0
over last year. Considering the heavy
shrinkage in outward bound cotton,
copper and oil, this increase was re.
markable; being entirely due to ex.
traordinary shipments Of foodstuffs
and war materials The next result Of
Decembcr's 3 foreign trade was an ex.
cess Of $l30,000,000 in exports. The
balance has been steadily growing dur.
ing January and February; so that It
is now estimated that the excess of
exports has risen considerable above
$2O0,OO0,000 since the beginning Of the
war, or course the exchange market
is demoralsed by such unusual condi.
tions, and emergency measures were
necessary. The great banks Of Europe
are unwilling to part with their gold
holdings for obvious reasons, and IL il
not TO our interest to embarrass them
by drawing gold, especially as our own
stock is more than ample for require.
ments.
London displays phenomenal finan.
cial strength, not only in its ability to
finance Britain's war but also by its
capacity TO render financial assistance
to the Allies. Under the circumstances
the most rational relief to the exchange
crisis suggested is the establishment
Of big credits in this market for Great
Britain, France, or any Of the Allies
whose credit may be satisfactory. The
belligcrents will continue to want food.
stuffs and war materials, and we are
fortunately in strong enough posi-.
tiou to easily give the credit necessary
on such purchases until more normal
conditions are once again in sight. For
us at least it would be far better Fin.
ancing to grant the needed credit than
TO force gold or security imports in
payment at this time.
General business is again marking
time. The spirit Of confidence which
began TO develop after the fall elec.
tions is still maintained, but so far as
positive action IL concerned, progress
is exceedingly SLOW War imposes
strong restraints. The volume Of busi.
ness shows only slight gains Indus.
try is somewhat more active, but there
is still room for large degree Of i'm.
provement Orders arc being placed
with more freedom by the railroads

Only Desire Is Proper Name
For Child Says Movie Actress

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 24.-"I do
not care about him or his money. But
did want so to make him marry me
and give his child its proper name. "
This was the statement today of
Miss Maud Armfield, motion picture
actress, who last night was given a
verdict for 100000 against Bryant II.
Howard, Jr., wealthy club man of
San Diego. Miss Armfield sued for
100000, alleging breach of promise.
Howard married Miss Armfield in
the belief that he had been legally
divorced from a former wife. After
the marriage it was discovered that the
divorce was illegal, Ioward's former
wife not having been divorced.
Miss Armfield, who was II, agreed
to annulment Of her marriage under
the promise that Howard would re-wed
her after his divorce had been legal
ized. This he failed to do. Miss Arm
field is the mother Of two year old
daughter, whose parentage Howard
denies.

TURNER ELECTION CASE
DISPOSED OF BY COURT
Ruling Will Be Made in Favor Of Booth
Who Has Won Every Phase Of Case
From Start to Finish

In the case of Nicely against Booth,
the Turner election contest, Judge
Percy R. Kelly ruled that Mr.. Booth
was the owner of real estate in the
city of Turner and that such would be
the opinion Of the court though the
findings in the case had not yet been
prepared. This was the last contention
of the contestants in the famous elcc.
tion case. The first one being that
Booth was elected by fraud and that
there was an error in the count. The
ballot box was opened in court under
the eye Of Judge Kelly and the recount
of the ballots showed that the tally
sheets of the election board were cor.
rect. Under a provision of the Turner
city charter the mayor must be the
owner Of property within the city
limits and a tax payer. Mr.. Booth
held contract for deed though the
records did not show a warranty deed
for the property. The court held that
the contract for a deed was equivalent
to a deed.

To Grow Hair on
A Bald Head
BY A SPECIALIST.

Thousands of people suffer from
badness and falling hair who having
tried nearly every advertised hair
tonic and hair-grower without results,
have resigned themselves to badness
and its attendant discomfort Yet
their case is not hopeless; the follow
ing simple home prescription has made
hair grow after years Of badness, and
is also unequalled for restoring gray
hair to its original color, stopping hair
from falling out and destroying the
dandruff germ. 1t will not make the
hair greasy, and can be put up by any

highly recommended by physicians and
specialists, and is absolutely harmless,
as it contains none of the poisonous

Chief Clerk Drager Has New
Plan For Next Session

Chief Clerk Fred Droger, Of the
house of representatives, declares that,
if he should be so unfortunate as to be
in such circumstances that he should
seek and secure the job at another ses-
sion Of the legislature he has u whole
lot of ideas which he would make an
effort to put into practice to keep a
better check upon the proceedings of
the Legislature.
One of the changes he would inaug-
urate would be to carry from day to
day the total expense of the session of
the previous day, together with a total
of expenses to date and a daily record
of the amount of appropriations asked
and allowed so that it would be posi-
BILE for the members TO tell at a glance
Just how much had been expended and
how much leeway they had in finishing
up the work of making appropria-
tions. Had it not been for the Schue-
bel bill (H. B. p providing for the re-
peal of all continuing appropriations,
which caused more confusion and dis
organization than any other measure
that was injected into the last session,
the ways and means committee could
have taken up each item separately, re-
pealed the standing law and made an
appropriation to provide for the change
and everything would have been clean
ed up as the session progressed.
Chief Clerk Cochran, of the senate,
started in to keep a daily tab on the
calendar of the amounts asked for in
appropriation bills and the amounts al
lowed but the bills were switched
around and duplicated in SO many in
stances that it was finally given up as

LITERARY PREFERENCES.

There amt no pathos any more,
And art is on the skids--
Where has the old time author gone,
That used to kill the kids?
When Dickens vowed he'd STAY n child
At prayer, or while 1t slept
/ used To have n noble time
wcpt and wcpt and wept!
When old Boz took his pen in hand
And went for Little Nell,
And beat that cherub to the dust,
oh. how orr hearts would SWELL
These modern authors cannot make
My tear drops gush and fall
Like Dickens when he chose his club
And rushed at Dombey's Paul.
They are so hesitant, they halt,
The final throes they shirk,
But Dickens sobbed and slew and
sobbed
And glorled in his work.
The house OF commons on the lert,
BozAngels on the right,
In elegiac attitudes,
Stared stolid at the sight.
And II the child showed signs of life
In chapter fifty-four.

thumbs
And Dickens struck once more!
