There exists generally throughout the
state a most inspiring LOYALTY To teach

utes that have been paid to our teachers
and superintendents Such criticisms as
have come have almost without excep

this LOYALTY is most inspiring to teachers

During the past five years the amount

JUDGE COMMENTS ON

SWAY a Man Is Held UP for Taxicab

New York, Oct. l2.-In passing sen

Fred Uffelman, who were found guilty
recently of conspiracy to smuggle jew.
elry valued at $4,000 into the United
States, Judge Sheppard of Florida, sit

Since July | two out OF every three
teachers in our state have applied for
the new form of certificate. The new
regulations leave considerable discretion
lary power with the commissioner. At
first il seemed that ii would probably be
necessary to make exceptions to meet in
dividual eases When ! SAW the sacri-
fees, however. that many OF our teachers
were making in order TO comply with
the new regulations was convinced that
Justice to them as we'll as to the schools
required that all be treated alike. | am
therefore able to say at this time that
no exception has been made in the ceTtl
fication of any teacher within this state.
II any teacher has been disappointed in
not receiving a. high a grade of certifi-
cate as she desired there Is this consola-
ton: no other teacher with like qualitica-
lions has received any higher grade OF
certificate. Many who applied for one
certificate have been surprised To find
that their qualifications entitled them to
4 higher grade than the one which they
expected.
THE teachers have on their part re-
sponded TO the newer demands OF the
state in a truly gratifying manner. Dur
ing the past summer one out 81 every.

These are mot at all expensive. With

the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently, spread
on a thin layer of the resinol ointment,

should be done twice q day. Usually
the itching and burning stop with the
first treatment. and the skin soon be-

Obituary.

Mr. Clayburn @. Rast, at one time
a resident and respected townsman of
%Ironton, sweetly and peace fully de-
parted this life July 24th,. 1916, at 2
o'clock P. NJ, aged 81 years and Z
months, at the city Hospital, Flat
River, Mo-, and was brought to IRON
ton, to the home of his son, and was
laid to rest in the beautiful Z. P.
Cemetery, beside the loving wife, who
has waited this seventh year for him.
IT'S sad indeed to part with father,
and the anguish seems almost IN
bearable; but let the loved ones COM
fort themselves with thoughts of the
beautiful life he has now entered, safe
from sin and suffering.
Time alone can lesson their grief,
for they will not soon forget the
vacant chair.
The many friends, and at one time
neighbors, have learned of his death
with sorrow. Especially the few old
soldiers left will remember him as a
dear old comrade gone faithfully to
the Golden Beyond, ready to welcome
them to their heavenly home when
God calls them.
He leaves only two sons. Both Of
them were at his bedside when he de-
parted. They are Gay and Anderson
Rust of this town. He leaves ten
grandchildren and eight great-grand-
children.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Henry of the Union M. E.

MIR. HUGHES has spoken, and his
acceptance of the Republican nomin-
alton for President is as fine q speci-
man of g~littering generality and
trumped-up fault-finding as can well
be conceived. He intimates that IL he
had been President he would have
averted the sinking Of the Lusitania.
How, he doesn't condescend to shy,
except in vague and indeterminate
terms about "irmness," which he
asserts is lacking in our President.
Mr.. Hughes will eventually discover
that the American people and he are
not of one mind as to that. He may
find fault to his hearts content; they
bear in mind, that, without loss of
national prestige, President Wilson
has avoided for them war and it's
calamitous attendants. The victories
of peace still bless this Republic. How
would it be If a Roosevelt were in
the White House? And Teddy, you
know, has evoluted Tor pussyfooted)
into an ardent supporter of the Re-
publican nominee-surely not without
promise in return. Teddy is always
for Teddy, first, last and for all the
time.v

The keynote of this campaign was
sounded by Chairman Glynn at the
National Democratic Convention. 1t
designates the paramount, if not the
only, issue before the American peo-
pie to-day: shall home or foreign in
fluence rule this country the coming
four years? Shall Americanism or
Kaiserism be endorsed? Said Mr..
Glynn:
For two years the world has been
afire; the civilization that we know
has beentorn by the mightiest struggle
in its history. Sparks from Europe's
conflagration have blazed in our own
skies, echoes of her strife have sound
ed at our very doors. That fire still
burns, that struggle still continues,
but thus far the United States has
held the fame at bay; thus far it has
saved its people from participation in
the conflict. What the people of the
United States must determine through
their suffrage is whether the course
the country has pursued through this
crucial period is to be continued;
whether the principles that have been
asserted as our national policy shall
be Endorsed or withdrawn. This is
the paramount issue. No lesser iseue
must cloud it, no unrelated problems
must confuse it.

The Cincinnati Times-Star prints
the following Associated Press dis
patch from Seattle: "City and coun-
try officials here are in somewhat of a
quandary today as to the extent of
their authority under the statewide
prohibition law in view of a state
supreme court decision yesterday,
which held that it is not illegal for a
person to possess for personal use any
amount of liquor, provided it was
obtained in a legal manner. The
decision heM that the provision of the
prohibition law limiting the amount
of liquor in a PERSONS possession to
two quarts of whiskey and twelve
quarts of beer, applied only to cases
where liquor was kept for the purpose
of sale. A dissenting opinion held
that the decision virtually annulled
the prohibition law and would make
it impossible to secure convictions of
persons keeping liquor with illegal
intent"
