The infant child of Mr.. and

treatment from the father and
mother, along the lines laid down
by the "Divine Healers". AL.
though the little one had been
i'll for some days no medicine of
of any kind was gwen it, but DIR.
W. o. Martin was called to
diagnose the ailment, and he told
the parents thai it had developed
spinal meningitis from teething
trouble, and that unless it re-
ceived immediate treatment it
would die, but that he could re-
lieve Its suffering and possibly
effect "a complete cure, by treat
i:g it. This the parents refused
to allow him to do, declining
even to give the child a laxative
although it had a high fever and
was suffering considerable pain.
As a part of the treatment the
mother had tasted for several
days, and consequently had no
nurse for the child, and in it's
condition il was unable
TO assimilate any other food.

their opinion of his treatment of
the child in no gentle terms.
The grand jury will be called on
to investigate the child's death
thoroughly at their next session.

The School Question
Clay City Thees

Ina recent ISSUE Of your paper. saw
statement made BY our County Su-
perintendeEt Of Schools which said:
"The entire amount of school tax,
both property and poll, going to the
public school fund, after the Sheriff
turns in hisdclinquent list, will be in
round numbcrs about $4,000. owing
70 the amoupt 81 delinquents.
We aiso noticed in last weeks issue
Of your contemporary. while trying to
bolster up an ipcorrect statement he
had published in regard to this fund,
he would have, the pubic believe that
this amount isss2 .s9iS4, and just to
satisfy myself while in Stanton last
week, went 10 the Court-house and
tind that the Sheriff. settlement which
was filed in the Clerks office, shows
the total amount collected BY him for
school purposes was s2.7o6.73, ! think
this is mighty near about 5000. 0o,"I
A. stated BY oar Superintendent. This
is the only fucd that could be cut in
two by the F& Of Educstion and
fiscai Court OF dsif county md. or
course, would be only si,s54 81 then.
He criticises scvsrely when anyone
leaves of part OF bis statement, but he
is Past Master at the game, and 10,
and behold he leaves on the poll tax
when he gpes to make his division,
which is school tar just the same as
the other. Then he adds more to it
than he cuts of, and the greater part
OF it not school tax, but paid out of
the levy for county purposes. Cutting
~, 70s. 70 in two and making it leave
$4,000, Is SOME stunt, but he must
have used the same system as when
he said
1T cost Adsir county, including Su-
perintendent's salary, and all other ex-
penses. to send s649 pupils TO so schools
daily the term, $S,465.u3."
On page 1888 of Ky. School Report we
sec there the salary of Adair's Super
intendent was si,0O0OO per gear. We
don't know what the "other expenses"
amounted to, but just take of the
VI 10000 ana it leaves s2,465 o3 to be
divided between so schools, which
would be little less than $2770 for
each school. That would not pay the
salary Of one teacher one month!
So you see how Ridiculous such
statement. and there is just as much
in most of the Others he makes in re-
gard to schools OF the county. Some
party writing in these columns stated
q few days ago that we should not ex-
peet anything favorable toward public
schools TO appear Ia that paper, and
we feel sure now that he knew what
he was talking about.
Again, he goes back to report made
in 1912, which report only includes s
months Of that year, as the present in
cumbcnt took charge in the fall Of 1911
and the report was made as OF Jane,
1912. and compares it with full years
report Of 1915. In 1914, trustees who
took the census had 10 wait for their
money and the i9li census, amounting
10 slu6.s0. was paid IN 1915, as well as
for taking 1918 census. which amount

larger than usual All Of this can be

Demonstrate Range at
-Mylno-AldahPs

p. l. Dahlen, of Milwaukee, Wis, is
in the city this week demonstrating the
Duplex Alcazar coal and gas range at
the Veblen-Myhro-Aldahl store. The
stove is two ranges in one, and both
fuels can be used at the same time.
The Duplex Alcazar provides comfort,
convenience and economy all the year
around, and it even does more than
that, it saves time. It is single
range, only 43 inches long, and gas,
coal or wood can be used separately,
being the only range made used
for both without interchanging any
parts. The strongest point is the
oven. BY simply pushing the lever
backward, the oven is ready for use
with coal or wood, with nothing to take
out, or nothing to interchange. When
used for gas, pull the lever forward at
the side Of the range, light a match
and light the gas. The gas broiler Is
also conveniently placed. Mr.. Dahlen
is demonstrating the oil and coal range
as well, two ranges In one which
means city comfort to the rural homes.
Call at the Veblen.Myhro-A1dahl Co.,
as the demonstration will continue until
Saturday evening.

Three Instructors Resign
at Agricultural College

Fargo, May 23.-Several important
changes are about to occur at the
North Dakota Agricultural college. 1t
is rumored that the public speaking
department and the English depart
ment are about to be reorganiZed, with
some possible changes in the faculty,
and number of other changes.
Professor B. A. Orr, head Of the COL
lege conservatory of music, has re-
signed, and as this department may be
changed around or dropped entirely it
is possible no successor will be chosen.
Miss Haggart, physical instructor, and
Miss Stoner, domestic science depart
ment teacher, have also resigned their
positions as result of the shakeup.
Miss Jensen of Bozeman, Mont, is
expected to take the place of Miss
Stoner at the head of the domestic sci
ence department, but as far as could
be learned the other vacancy has not
been filled yet. Miss Jensen is a for.
mer Cass county girl, and a sister of
Hon. Fred Jenson, formerly on the
board of trustees of the college.
