hour of the meeting is 200 p. m. All
who are interested are welcome and
are urged to come. This includes
those in Farber also. Let us have

it, come out and say so, otherwise it
will seem best not to undertake it.

means much for succt IS.

pointee of the Stae Department, and
G. D. Coakley, the appointee of the

flee to organize, as the law requires,
and to consider the matter of chang
ing the text books. The law makes
the County Superintendent ex-officio

open. No conracts have been made
since 1912. Then the Readers,
Grammars, Writing Books, and

a contract is made for five years,

Told by the Centralia Courier.

4. JEFF ID. Sims, formerly of Audrain
and well known In Thompson and
Cant .neighbOrhOOds, has sued his
wife for divorce. They now live In
Jefferson City. Mr.. Sims alleges that
his wife is infatuated with Pierce
Ruprecht and that she would throw
her arms about Ruprecht's neck, 70
his great humiliation. Mr.. Sims left
home and sued for divorce. Mrs. Ru-
precht, wife Of the man Sims alleges
stole his wife's affections, ridicuIes
Sims story. Mrs. Ruprecht says that
she and her husband are young folks
and lived in the same house with the
Sims family; that Mrs. Sims is Al
years old and that beyond being
courteous to Mrs. Sims her husband
has never thought of her. Mrs. Ru-
precht SCOTS at the idea of Mrs. Sims
being her husbands affinity and says
that MIR. Sims ''sOuI mate" stun is

Sims. a good name and says the
charges are absurd. Mr.. and Mrs.
