The chief difficulties in the provis-

transopo rtation. The Anatolian
Railway Company has been compell-

service somewhat, and military de-
naands have still further reduced the
available freight capacity.
The city prefecture has, however.
succeeded In reaching an agreement
with the war department by which
regular grain shipments from Ana
tolia will be made. It is also hoped

DYNAMITE BLAST
Blows Up Stump, and Reveals
Hiding Place of a Large
Fortune.

ASHLAND, Ore. Dec. 3-workmen
employed on the ditch Of the Rogue
River Canal Company set off charge
Of dynamite under stump and then
the air was filled with dollars and half
dollars. The blast uncovered a money
cache that had apparently been buried
there since the early sixties. Most
OF the coins were Of the mintage Of
the tifties. and when the, fall Of the
coin began there was a wild scramble
for 1t. The cache contained about
$500, according to some: others placed
the amount as high as $500. Some
Spanish coins were found among he
United States coins. How the money
came to be beneath the stump, or why
or when is mystery.

THE SCHOOL TEACHER

The school teachers have resumed
their work for another nine months.
They are very useful factor in
American society In early years
habits are formed that asst all
through life. 1t is easier for an
octogenerian to remember what hap
pened tire score years ago and over
than what occurred a month ago or
last year.
Whatever may be said of the
progress made in such matters as
cousses Of study and grades, the
fact remains that one of the most
potent factors in the schooling of
children is the personality Of the
teacher. We remember one of the
first teachers in the school we att
tended in Benson, Vermont, more
than eighty years ago, Miss Kent,
a daughter of the Congregational
minister.
The country's greatest need, at all
tines, is intelligence, ability AMI
morality-such ideals as shall lead
to the making of good homes, and
! the building up Of social fabric
that will insure justice and eqaulity
of opportunity.

sTANlEY's RETURN
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.


Robert Stanley was running away.
The train was a local. That was
part of his scheme. At Philadelphia
he meant to catch quick train to the
South. Thence he could make his way
undetected to South America. He
felt as eager as a schoolboy over it.
And it occurred to him that his past
life had ended when Miriam had died.
The Ave and twenty years that had
elapsed was only an interlude.
He looked up as the train stopped
at a small station with an odd sense
of familiarity. He saw the name Biz
mingham. Why. that was his home
town. and he had never been home
since his mother died. He had al
ways meant to, until he heard of
Miriam's marriage. and then he had
dropped a veil over the past. Now
he had q sudden longing to see the
little place again.
He took his suitcase-al he was
carrying with him-and got of. Two
other passengers were leaving the
train. One was q man about fifty-fve.
the other q girl of nineteen or twenty.
Az Stanley stood on the platform she
turned, and he saw Miriam looking at
him.
He raised his hat automatically.
gasped, and stood staring at her fool
ishly. The girl looked doubtful for a
moment-then she whispered to her
father, who turned with puzzled ex-
preston upon his face.

Stanley, but my name Is Robert Stan
ley, and II seemed to recognize

an odd meeting! My name is Roger
Lesion. and this is my daughter
Miriam. Her mother often spoke OF
you

may be got from almost any instruc-
tor; much of it is never used in
practical life and is lost; for men
and women cannot keep what they
do not use; but what they get direct
from the teacher, in the way of char
acter and industry, life's meaning,
comes through the medium of an in
terested personality.
The school teacher stands out as
one of the leaders in democracy of
the sort we are slowly upbuilding
in this nation. She is a vital force
in the great influences which make
for human betterment.
To rank the teacher as the first
aid to progress is simply to acknowl-
edge the place she has won for her
self. And to treat and pay her on
this basis is necessity which grad
ually is becoming more and more
plain to every one-Jackson (Mich,-

Lawson Robertson's whales are
going on strike. Pat Ryan, Matt
McGrath and Pat Mcdonald, the trio
of Giants who have gained all kinds
of honors in the past in the throw
ing Of the heavyweights are all
thinking of quitting competition.
The reason that the whales are
about to quit is that there are not
enough competitions to keep them
busy. Ryan said not long ago on
this subject: There's little in it for
a fellow who throws the hammer
and 56-pound weight in these days.
The athletic meets are being held for
the runners. 1t isn't once a month

the surprise OF this dramatic meeting
he had accepted Leston's hospitality
overnight But on the following morn
ing he found himself unable to rise.
1t was nothing serious, the doctor
said, but weeks Of anxiety had broken
down Staniey's strength. And, com
ing back to the old town, with its boy
hood memories, he had yielded to the
weakening and softening influence.
He was like a runner who drops ex.
hausted at the end of a race For
i've days he did not stir from his
room; he was too exhausted to leaveI
his bed, even, during the greater partl
of them.
Lesion had scrupulously respected
his secret, and, as Stanley had given
out that he intended to spend a week
In the mountains no anxiety or SUR
prise was caused by his disappear-I
ance.
On the sixth day he came to the
conclusion that the old life, always
hateful, was now impossible. But the /
idea of running away had somehow be-
come equally impossible. Life seemed
I construable only In terms Of the lit
tie town and-Miriam.
In the girl he saw his old love,
fairer, and with the same winning|
charm and sweetness. And with the|
new life to begin, it seemed unbeliev-
able that he should not have Miriam
to share it.
That night he had a frank talk
with Mr.. Lesion. He had already
showed him much of himself, but now
he barred his life from the beginning
He told him his hopes and fears, how
he had planned to run away, how the
strange meeting had affected him.
