Teachers Elected.


 School District met Tuesday and reelected the following corps of teachers for the 1916-7 school term:
 T. w. Woodbury, Principal, Miss Nell Stewart, c. T. Willis, Miss Ruth Best, and Miss Ethel Johnson and Miss Hattie Wells. Miss Fife Dunlap did not apply for the music department of which she now has charge. All of the directors were present and the above were elected unani- mously.
 The directors voted to add the eleventh grade next year and to give the people nine instead of eight months term of school as is the present condition. This will be a great advantage to the children of the district as they may go another year, or one step higher here at home before hav- ing to go away to school.
 The adding of the eleventh grade places our school among the very best in the state and it has been accomplished through the efforts and cooperation of the patrons and people of the district who have already sub- .scribed $500 of the S700 necess- ary to meet the increased ex- pense that will be incurred by adding the eleventh grade and by making the term nine months instead of eight We publish be- low list of those who have con- tributed and hope others will enroll:

RINGS on OYSTER Shells.

A popular theory about rings on an
oyster shell being an indication OF It's
age is not supported by the careful IN
vestigation Of Miss Ann l.. Massey, who
tested specimens from the oyster sta
ton at Ardfry, at the head of Galway
bay. 1t has been supposed by many
that each ring, or group, ON the oyster
deeD valve stood for years growth.
But Miss Massy says that this deduc-
ton is not reliable. After a patient
scrutiny of over 600 samples OF various
ages, from eighteen months to SIX
years, she says: "An oyster of eight
cen months or two summers appears
TO possess at least two rings, but may
have as many as five. One OF three
summers has al least two rings aud
may have six. A four -year-old oyster
may have only three rings or may pos
sess seven or eight. London Mail.

The remedy is the railroads own,

lion OF the American railway associa.
ton and formally approved by the
federal commission. The first regula.
ton provides that a consignee may
have the usual two days to unload a
car and that thereafter demurrage
shall be charged at the rate of 81 for
the first day, 81 for the second, 33
TOR the third and S. for the fourth,
and each succeeding day. Heretofore
the charge has been uniformly 81 a
day and many consignees. notably
automobile concerns and coal dealers
are declared to have been glad to
permit shipments to stand for long
periods because the penalty was SO
small that it compared favorably
with warehouse charges.
