MILFORD schools TO
OPEN ON September I

MILFORD. Del, Aug. 2S.-The Mil
ford public schools will reopen for
the school year on Tuesday, Septem-
Der Z. with a larger number of teach
ers than ever before. For the past
two years the lower grades of the
Milford schools have been overcrowd-
ed, causing the arrangement Of hav-
ing half of the children attend school
in the morning and the other half in
the afternoon. This arrangement did
not prove satisfactory. so the Board
of Education has had erected an ad-
ditioR to the present buildings where
by two new rooms are equipped.
The children of the first Grade will
attend only half a day. because of
the fact that the authorities thinl,
that better results can be secured
by this method. but the other chill
dren will attend on full time. Miss
Louise Roat. who has been on leave
of absence for the past year in or
der that she might take up school
work in the Philippines under the
United States government. has re-
turned home and will take up her du-
ties in the high school. The schoo,
authorities are anticipating the lar
Kest number of pupils ever enrolled.

kansas town TORN FOR
YEARS over dead Cat

TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 2s.-After
three years of community strife over
a dead cat, Meriden. a town ten miles
northeast of Topeka. has settled back
TO peacefulness. The last direct up
shot Of the dead cat" affair has been
the resignation of T. R. Wagner as
president of the Meriden State hank.
A lone, scraggly cat, half frozen and
half starved. slipped into the Bell tel
ephone office at Meriden on a frigid
night three years ago. The next morn
ing the manager of the Office found
the cat lying dead on the floor. He
picked the corpse up, and, opening the
door, threw it into the gutter of the
street.
A little later in the morning the
town marshal passed along in front
Of the telephone office. There lay
poor kitty
who's responsible for that cat ly-
ing out there in front?" he asked.
Il threw it here responded the
manager of the telephone exchange.
WELL" said the marshal, you'll
have to go out and get it,
That's not my job was the an
swer.
Its a wandering cat, and didn't be-
long to me. II came here during the
night, probably through a partly open
ed window. and found it lying dead
on the floor this morning"
The telephone manager went to Jail.
But he did not stay long. Mr. Wagner,
president of the Meriden State bank,
heard of the predicament of his
friend the telephone manager. He
seized his purse and hurried to the
city prison. The bond was $50. He
( was glad to pay it. The two men
strolled away from the Jail with lock-
/ ed arms.
The Judge decided the telephone
manager was not absolutely respon-
sible for the dead cat being in the
street. as kitty" did not belong to
. him in the first place. But the judge
+ did assess the defendant costs.
After a years time the air of antip-
athy in Meriden seemed to have cooled
but little The two factions continued
/ to wrangle. the side of the town mar
shall gaining slightly On account of
4 the trouble that had been caused the
! telephone manager resigned. This
raised a howl of joy from the town
! marshal's warriors.
Following the resignation of the tel
ephone manager. Wagner began re-
ceiving his share of the criticism and
that which the head of the telephone
office formerly bore The climax to
the community war was reached a
year ago. A new bank, called the Peo-
pies State bank, was established.
Wagner 1aetad a war Than tbo
opposing bank took up the Meriden
State banks interest and the two
banks consolidated under the name OF
the State Bank of Meriden. Wagner
resigned as president.
