IN MEMORY OF MRS. CORA HALL
 kO0NCE.

The old order ehangeth, yielding place to new, and God fulflls Himself in many ways
 Yet there is peculiar pathos in the passing of an era. and every death which aecentuates this passing, brings with t 2 fancy, added to that of per sonal bereavement.
 Such was the death of Mrs. Cora Hall Koonce, which occurred Jan. 1st, 1916, 2 acl, Hill, S C., after short illnef ae was beautiful in gener- osity, rIch in loving impulses and deeds, the friend of the oppressed and sorrowing, the friend loyal and true Of many whose love and friendships she held. Above all, the love and fear of God was in her heart, with a faith unquestioning, unwayering.
 Only a few years previous, her christian husband preceded her to that land of pure delight" and to- gether they shall serve Him, where they behold the glory of the Father and worship the King in His beauty.
 Whereas, He, who doeth all things well, hath called back to Himself the spirit of His devoted child and faith full servant, Mrs. Cora Hall Koonce, we, the members of the w. C. T. U. together with many others, feel that we have been bereft of true friend, faithful eo-worler, and shining ex- ample, and wish to express our love for and appreciation of her life a mongst us. Be it resolved:-
 1. That, while a gloom enshrouds us by reason of the loss which we have sustained, we have been taught by her to work beyond the present and pierce the darkness ahead, and there see the smiling face of the Fa- ther.
 2. That we will trust and serve Him better, because He has given us the example of one who was cheer

SCHOOL TEACHERS EFFICIENCY CHECKED AS
JAKE LOEB BECOMES A BOSS
BY II. M. COCHRAN


go to these teachers to get their life
training realize just what a rotten
deal BOSS Jake Loeb, president of
the school board, slipped over on
them at Wednesdays session Of the
school board.
Loeb, through the killing OF the
meritOriOus service rule, has stepped
into a more solid position of BOSS of
the school board. Not only president,
but BOSS, as a great majority Of the
teachers who teach the children OF
Chicago how to read, write and spell
will testify.
The ousted merit rule gave a
teacher who was capable a fair
chance to retain her position. She
could be a Democrat, Republican,
Socialist, Bull Mooser, COngrega-
tiOnalist, Methodist. Catholic, Daugh-
ter of the Revolution or anything
else she wanted to be and it would
not affect her position as a teacher.
AS long as she could handle pupils
and teach them she could stay on the
school board payroll
But now things seem to line up diff
ferent.
Why won't teachers be in constant
terror of losing their jobs?
Why can't Loeb use a regular poll
tician's power when election time
comes around and line up the teach
ers to plug for the candidate ne
picks?
Is it unlikely that teachers Who alb
soiuteIy depend on their teaching pay
to get their bread and butter will be
out plugging for a Loeb candidate?
Not from their own desire, but
from BOSS Loeb rule!
The merit rule has been in effect
here for 25 years. 1t is in effect in
a majority of the cities in the United
States. And yet Chicago, through
BOSS Loeb rule, Gusts the system.
Loeb was appointed through infiu-
ence Of Julius ROsenwaId, who has

The OUsting of the merit rule sim

cy." 1t means that pull" will go a
long way toward holding positions.
How long is Chicago in general,
and especially the mothers of the
thousands of children who attend the
public schools, going to let a BOSS
get away with this sort of rot?

a hand in the big mass meeting of

WATER POWER DEVELOPED
BY FERRIS ACT RULES

Washington, Jan 1.-THE house on
Saturday passed the Ferris bill which
would throw open to 5O-year leases
public lands containing more than
three times as much water power as
now is under development in the United
States. 1t is estimated in the IL states
which it is proposed to enter there is
about 100000 undeveloped horse
power.
The bill is the result of careful study
by water power experts of all parties.
The 50-year lease feature had the sup
port of Secretary Lane and his pre-
decessor, Walter l.. Fisher, and of Gift
ford Pinchot, former chief forester of
the United States.
Minority Leader Mann was one ct
its strongest supporters. Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming and other
western Republicans fought it, insist,
ing that leasing would delay develop
ment of the sites. ---s..- ,,.---z-l,.
Western senators are planning hard
fight on the measure in the senate.
Control of the water plants under the
bill would rest jointly with the state
and federal governments, except by
court order leases could not be trans
ferred without the consent of the sec
retary of the interior States having
public utility boards could exercise
their full powers in regulating rates
for power and the issuance of bonds
In states without such board the sec
retary of the interior would exercise
this power.
A bill designated to authorize ex
ploration for and the disposition OF
coh, phosphate, oil, gas, potassium ant
radium in public lands, will come uf
for passage in the next week. 1t, too
is committee measure.

packed solidly by the impact. Unsus-
pecting the fatal consequences of the
avalanche, they attacked the mass and
for three hours labored steadily before
they reached the open. Only then
did they fully realize the serious i'm.
port of the blockade. The blacksmith
shop was gone and their comrades were
probably dead.
II. NJ. Sheppard, superintendent a.
the Gordon and a brother in-law of
Stiffler, and the other men employed
at the mine, started quickly for the
bottom of the slide organized as a res
cue party. They again attacked the
snow with tools, working feverishly in
hope of finding the men alive.
Two hours of this work brought the
body of Remine to light. and at 7
O'Clock Stiffler's body was rescued.
Both men had been smothered instantly
as the avalanche reached the bottom.
Neither bore cuts or bruises. 81
Mondays heavy snow, dry and light
followed by a damp fall Tuesday aud
yesterday morning, made the founda.
tion which the mountaineers fear.
Where the massive banks above the
Gordon began its precipitous toboggan-
ing yesterday, the topography of the
mountain had permitted the snow to
pile up in an overhanging bank. A
gust Of wind, the tread of wild All
NAL, would loosen it from its thread.
like moorings and hurl it, dread and
menace for all before it, straight
through the mining workings.
Without warning, the herculean mass
broke from its anchorage at 1890 in
the forenoon. The dangerous combin.
alton Of light and wet snow which the
hillsmen dread, had caused the onrush
which breeds terror in the strongest
man. Stiffler and Remine in the black
smith shop were housed in by the four
walls, unable to attempt escape, which
would have been futile even in the
open.
The walls Of the shop collapsed lik,
peanut shells, pinnins the workers be.

KICKED TO DEATH BY A HORSE

A. Fougnier, 4S years of age, well
known and highly respected farmer OF
Pitkin county, was fatally kicked by
one of his work horses last Sunday cv-
ening at the Cerise- Fougnier ranch
near Srrowmass.
He went to the barn, intending to
make but brief stay. About fifteen
minutes afterwards his wife followed
him to the barn to see why he remained
SO long. She found her husband lying
near the barn door in semi-conscious
condition. He was carried to the house
where he breathed his last about half
hour later without returning to coa-
sciousness.
1t is presumed that when Mr.. Foug
nier entered the barn the horses became
frightened and started to kicking. They
were shod with neverslip" shoes and
the mans breast, abdomen and leg
were badly cut by the corks on the
shoes.
