Particular as to the

One Of the juvenile simians, inagin-
ing itself to be another Tyrus Cobb,
hurled a cocoanut and struck it,
mother upon the head, causing in
slant death. Such was the gist OF
story found by Assistant Superinten-
dent Ryan Of the public school dur
ing her present task Of reviewing an
assortment, Of sample school books.
This particular book was rejected
because the story referred to would
not, in the hands Of child, ineuleate
lofty ideals OF respect toward par
ents. In the school books stories Of
birds, beasts and fish must not In
clude situations showing unkindness

The assistant superintendent acts
as a censor board. She will not APP
prove a book which permits . child
to tell lie and get away with it"
High moral ideas and ideals must be
taught in these books. Certain forms
of slang are sufficient for rejection Of
q book. One book was rejected be-
cause it contained the word Niger.

Continued from Yesterday

"1'll take the Japl" Hope shouted
to Fitzmaurice. Hes got the books
I'm after. You attend to the other fel-
low"
The chase which followed led across
a country broken by unexpected out
groupings of rocks, by stretches of
loose stones, by enormous crags and
powders; it led across furze-covered
hillsides and other hillsides carpeted
with wild wiregrass. Suddenly, when
his pursuer was only few PAGES be-
hind him, Satsuma swerved and
dashed down narrow path which ap-
parently promised a means Of escape.
But instead of leading down the cliff,
as he had supposed, it ended abruptly
on a precipice- bordered headland. The
Japanese could go no fartherl Behind
him was pursurer whom he knew
to be relentless; before him a dizzy
precipice, and at the foot OF it, 200
feet below, the sea. Hope, confident
that Satsuma could not now escape,
was advancing on him determinedly
when all at once the Oriental whipped
out pistol, there was flash and
bang, and bullet sang past Hopes
head. He threw himself against a
rock, as he did so a second bullet
spattered itself against it. Whenever
he showed himself, Sutsuma's pistol
spat angrily. Hope kept count of the
shots and at the sixth he sprang for
ward recklessly. But the Japanese had
still another cartridge in his pistol and
he was determined that that cartridge
should do its work. Resting the barrel
of his weapon against bowlder, he
waited until the pursuer was almost
upon him before firing. But lat the
very instant that Sutsuma's finger
frightened on the trigger, Hopes foot
caught in a root and he fell head
long, while the bullet, which was
meant for his heart, whistled harm
lessly over his shoulder. As Hope
bounded to his feet, the Japanese
tossing away the empty pistol, ran to
the very edge of the cliff. He still
held the precious books in his hand
Hope OWNED his intention.
"You might as well give up, Sat
suma," he called. "And II you destroy
those books it will 60 all the harder
for you. Come, now, hand them
over"
You'll never get the books" snarled
the Japanese, and with the words he
flung them into the abyss.
But III get your shouted Hope,
beside himself with anger, and he
leaped at Satsuma, who stood poised
on the precipice's very brink.
You'll not get me, either" replied
the Oriental with an oath, and, just
as Hope was about to clutch him, he

BANKS OF OMAHA
ISSUE STATEMENTS
Deposits Show Large Increase
Over Year Ago, But Loss
Since the Last Call.
NORMAL FOR THIS TIME

While the banks OF Greater Omaha
show large increase in deposits over
a year ago, according to statements
issued today for the close of business
June 80, in response to the call Of the
comptroller Of currency, they show
some loss in deposits since the last
call, nearly two months ago.
This is only normal loss for the
time of year. This draining of de-
posts always occurs about this time
OF year, just before the new crop be-
gins to move and to bring money
back into the banks.
The deposits are over $l5,O00OOO
ahead OF year ago, while the loans
show nearly a $l2,000,000 gain.
At the same time the deposits are
over $l,500,000 less than they were
two months ago, and the loans are
something more than $2,0OO,000
greater. '''5

follows. .'3..

The action indicated in the preced-
ing message to The Forum is in line
with the steps determined on at the
recent Tri-State Flood Control con-
ference. held in Fargo.
If passed by congress, it opens the
way to action in the three interested
states, Legislative action being re-
quired in each of the states to bring
about the control of the floods.
Work in connection with the scheme
would be confined largely to the Lake
Traverse and Big Stone lake districts,
at the headwaters of the Red river
and the Minnesota river.
