ADJOURNED SESSION HELD NON.
DAY NIGHT WAS AS POORLY
ATTENDED AS THE PRE-
VIOUS MEETING
N. ]. SMITH ELECTED TREASURER
Substitution cf Terrace fer Cement
Fer Floors of Railways, Stairs
Etc. of New Building is
Authorized

The adjourned annual school meet
ing held in the assembly room Of
the new highschool last Monday
evening was about as poorly attend
ed as the previous session.
The usual tax levy of recent years
for general purposes, $4,000, and an
additional levy of $500 for school
board salaries, the same as for pre-
vious years, was voted.
The next proposition to come up
was that of substituting terrazo for
cement as the material for the floors
Of the Railways, stairs and locker
rooms of the now hiehschool build
ing Director w. e. Thompson gave
a lucid explanation of the advan-
tages to be derived from the use
Of the more expensive material if
the district wished to authorize it's
use. An informal resolution was
then adopted to substitute the ter
razo for the floors mentioned. A for
uldl f6SOIullOu was IueH lHJIpuuCNu
authorizing the bonding of the
district for $1,000, running Is years,
to cover the cost of the substitution
of the more expensive floor mater
ial, the balance to be used in equip
ping the building. This resolution
was passed by a two to one major
ity, the actual vote being 26 for
and "13" against
Harry Ballou declined reelection
as school treasurer and N. J. Smith
was unanimously elected as his sue
cessor.
Mr.. BallOu, as a member of the
, county board, made a statement con-
cerning a proposition, proposed by
the county board, whereby the city
schools would take over the work Of
the Rusk County Training School, the
| county to make an appropriation of
about half the present appropria-
ton to the training school. The pur-
pose was to get an expression from
the people as to whether they would
entertain such proposition from the
county board. The school board nei-
ther endorsed nor disapprOved Of the
proposition. No action was taken.
One levy that was not necessary
this year was that made in recent
years of $500 for rentals. A levy for
this purpose will of course no long
er be needed.
The financial report showed that
the net cost of the hi9hschoOl site
was $S,89051. The net cost of the
building proper, to date, has been
$48.53928, but the total cost VIII
reach about $4,000, or within $3.50
of the appropriation given the school
board, which is very close as such
buildings go.
With what is left from the $4,000
voted for substituting terrazo for
cement, which will be about $1,000,
and what the school board can save
from the current funds for this year,
they expect to furnish the building
complete, including the equipment
of the manual training and dOmes-
tic science departments, and the
gymnasium, and do the grading OF
the grounds outside.
The following were appointed as
the auditing committee for the en-
suing year j. w. Carow, e. w. Hill,
! A. N. Andersen.

CHINA REJECTS
 PROPOSALS OF THREE NATIONS
Won't Hold Up Decision About Monarchy As
 Requested.

Pekin, Nov. 1-The Chinese gov ernment today rejected the proposals of Japan, Great Britain and Russia for postponement of the decision whether, a 1nonarchiaI form of gov ernment is to be re-established.
 The decision of the Chinese gov ernment was made known by Tao Yulin, vice. minister of foreign af- fairs. He called at the British. Rus sian and Japanese legations and in formed the ministers that the Chinese government had been advised by pro- vincia1 officials that they would be able to maintain tranquility in the event of re-establishment of the mon archy.
 Tsao Yu1in thanked the powers for their friendly interest in the welfare of China. He said the decision con- cerning a change in the form of gov ernment was wholly in the hands of the police and that, therefore, it would be impossible to adopt the sug- gestton, forfa a postponement. The e-minister's .communicatio ton was verbal as were the representa- tions of the three powers.

ADMIRAL LITTLE
 FACES TRIAL ON SERIOUS CHARGES

Boston, Nov. For a courtmartial at the navy yard in the Charleston district Rear Admiral William Nelson Little, retired, today faced charges of neglect and carelessness.

Dunn and Paymaster M. Thomas Cowie.
 The K-2 was Launched in 1913 and turned over to the government in Jan uary, 1914. Rear Admiral Little left the Fore River yard about a. year ago.
 While naval officials had explained that in their opinion defect in install 1ation rather than design caused the short circuitmg, the source of the trodble$ in vesse1s of this class was carefully Investigated by the navy de- partment. As a result Secretary Daniels announced that the depart ment "has been led to believe the in spectfbn of the K-2 while building at the Fore River Ship building Co. was not conducted with specific care and thoroughness.,' .,'
 Accordingly. the secretary directed that Rear Admiral Little, the depart ment's representative responsible for the inspection of the K-2 be tried by eourtmartiaL It was predicted that the witnesses would include officials of the building company, who recently asserted that they had never heard Of any defects in the construction Of the vessel.

 lis curious to note and little known that Polaris has a small companion of ninth magnitude, which in turn has two dark bodies revolving about it.
 Motion of the Pole.
 Has the Pole Star of today always been such and will it always continue of the astrononic North? Unfortun- ateIy for the cause of simplicity the answer to both parts of the query is negative. Ages ago another star was Pole Star, and in, ages to come still another will assume that envied rank. Of course it is not the stars them selves which undergo this great and comparatively rapid change. It is the North Pole of the heavens itself that moves. What then is the North Pole It is simply the place in the heavens toward which the imaginary axis of the earth's daily rotation points. It is the point at which this imaginary line, about which the earth rotates once a day, if produced out toward the celestial sphere, would cut the vau1ted dome which we seem to see and on which the stars seem to be protected. The earth's axis mark our terrestial North and South, and it's prolongation and projection mark the corresponding astronomic directions And, owing to the gravitationa1 effect of the suns and moons masses cn the rotation of earth. this projection is swinging in a circle and now is near Polaris In the dim past it was near alpha Draconis, and in years to come it will point toward the first magni- t11re of star Vega, which will then assume the important role of Pole Star.

COTTON WAREHOUSE
 IS URGED BY PARKER
New Orleans Cotton Expert Addresses Legislature
 Yesterday
Nv l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery. August 16.-tspecial) John M. Parker of New Orleans today addressed the members of the legisla- ture in the house of representatives on the importance of having the state own cotton warehouses. The New Orleans cotton expert declared that state-owned warehouses offer the only certain solu- tion to the present distressing conditions In the south.
 MT. Parker said the warehouses of New Orleans, to be owned by the state, are completed and that they represent an outlay of s3,o0OO0O and will have a capacity of 2,0oOO00 bales.
 Ali railroads operating into New Or leans have equal access to the ware houses, said MT. Parker, and the man agement of the warehouses will be con- trolled by the state government The New Orleans cotton exchange and the New Orleans Board of Trade will direct in the management of the warehouses according to the speaker
 MT. Parker declared that the savings to the farmers through the new system will be great. Certificates will be given showing the grading and condition of the cotton, the grading being done by eX- perts.
 He also advocated the certificate plan, stating that the certificate given by the warehouse when cotton is stored Is col lateral on any local bank. The cost of handling cotton will be greatly reduced under the plan advocated by MT. Par ker. He declared further that cotton brought into the warehouse in bad condi- tion will be put in good condition at low cost

Judge Burnett Read an h. terview and Thereby Hangs
 a Vitalitas Story

The way in which Judge W. W. Bur- nett, one of the old-time lawyers at Austin, Tex, became interested in Vii taltas, now being recognized as the souths most wonderful medicinal product. is told by him as follows: One day noticed the statement of a friend of mine in the paper whom I had known always and I knew If Vitalitas would do him any good that 1t would surely help me. I got a bottle and be- fore l had used 1t was considerably im- proved. l have taken three all told. My indigestion, which was in the form of bloating, entirely left me and my ca. tarrh is considerably better. I was also badly run down. I think vitalitas is the best tonic for these troubles on the mar Ret today. I take pleasure in recom- mending 1t to anyone who needs a good tonic"
 Vitalitas is beyond question, as Judge Burnett states, the best tonic on the market today. It is wholly and purely natural product, taken out of the earth. and Is free of alcohol or any hurtful in- gredients. For chronic disorders gener- ally of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood 1t will be found wonderfully effective.
