P. 7. A.
OF the High School District Met Fri.
day aud Organized for the Com
ing Year-May Consolidate
Associations.

A meeting Of the parents and teach
crs of the High School District held
in the High School building on last
Friday resulted in perfecting an or
ganization for the coming year. A
good association was had in that dis
trict three years ago but 1t has not
been reorganized until the day men,
toned.
Addresses by Mrs. James Ross and
Prof. w. J. Caplinger opened the
meeting on Friday. They spoke of tn"
needs of such an organization and
asked that one be organized at tho
meeting. This was done and Mrs.
James Ross was elected as temporary
chairman and Mrs. N. S. Calhoun as
temporary secretary. A nominating
committee was then appointed to re-
port back at the next meeting which
is to be held on Friday of this week.
Seventeen persons allied themselves
for the Association.
Some talk was then heard of con.
colidating all of the Parent-Teacher
Associations into one body for the
purpose of studying High School prob
lens alone. Each body would be able
to meet at its own building as often
as possible to study conditions of that
particular building and once a month
meet in the central building and con-
slider the problems of the High School
This would be a good move ON the
part Of the various organizations in
the city and would be a great help to
that department of the schools. 1t is
hoped that this can be carried out.
The Parent-Teacher Associations
have been In this city for some time

SPECIAL REGISTRATION
Begins Next MOnday-BOth Parties
Making Effort TO Increase Voting
List Before November Z.

With the special registration but one
week Off, efforts are being made by
10th the Democrats and Republicans
to get out as big a registration FOR
the three days, starting next Monday,
October 30, as is possible. Both the
dominating parties. while apparently
satisfied with the result of the general
registration earlier in the month.
realize that the more who registered
means the more who vote.
The special registration next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, will be
held in the county clerks office at the
courthouse. Three classes of voters
are eligible to register at the spe-
cial registration. They are those who
were necessarily absent from the city
on the general registration day; those
who were unable to register because
they were ill. or those who were un-
able to register because of illness OF
some member of their family. Other
from these three causes none will be
accepted by the county clerk. Young
men who we're 81 years old after the
general registration day, but before
election day, should have registered
earlier in the month, and unless kept
away from the polls because of one
of the above reasons, will not be al
lowed to register or vote.
The man who wishes to register
next week. must make affidavit to the
county clerk, before he is allowed e
register, that he was kept away from
the polls on the general registration
day. because of absence from the city.
illness to himself or illness OF some
member of his family. One challenger
from each party will be present and
can challenge the affidavit of any man
Should this be done, and the voter
still insists that he should be allowed
to register under the special registra-
ton law, the challenger is then forced
to get the aiiidavits of not less than
two people, that the statement of the
man wishing to register Is untrue.
The county clerk then has the sole
right to decide whether the man
should or should not register. How
ever, either party has the right, after
the decision of the county clerk, to APP
peal to the court for final decision in
the matter.

When Cheese Was VULGAR.

There was a time when cheese was
regarded as too vulgar diet for we'll
bred ladies. This belief is referred to
in Mrs. Gaskell's wives and Daugh-
ters'' and also in "The Visits Of Eliza
BETH" where Mrs. Elinor Glyn makes
her heroine write: II was glad to have
a nice piece of cheese. All the time

years ago a friend of mine who would

me that before he left England as a

The history of the first sixteen years
of the White House is practically a
biography of Mrs. Dolly Madison, the
handsome young widow whom the
bachelor James Madison married
long after his friends had regard
ed him as confirmed" in his single
blessedness. The first eight years she
was the official hostess for the elderly
widower. President Thomas jefferson,
her husband being a member of his
cabinet. jefferson was rich. and his
patriotic prodigality assisted her in
uniting the warning social factions Of
the capital in the wilderness" as
Washington was then called Mrs.
MadisOn's experience as hostess for

the White House was her training

100, 900 AUTOMOBILES IN STATE
Secretary of State Schmahl Will Turn
Over 100000 Into the Road
Fund of Minnesota

The state automobile department,
according to an examination of Secre-
tary of State Schmahl's books, just
completed, realized the state and the
road fund which is now the benefici-
airy of all automobile registrations a
net profit of $1O2, 986.06 for the fiscal
year ending July 81, last. The total
receipts were $148,O47.50, and the ex-
penses of operation, which includes
purchases of tags and salaries, $45,-
149.44. Minnesota this year is the
home of approximately 100000 cars
In 1909, the first year the receipts
were $13,014; in 1910, $22,241.5O; in
1911, $4,000; in 1912, $6O,O31; in
1913, $35,217; and in 1914, $43,781.
At the close of July 81, 1851 auto
licenses had been issued and 1869 mo-
torcycles registered. When the de-
partment was first created, licenses
were only good for one year. Now
they are good for three years.

The Nebular Hypothesis.

The nebular hypothesis assumes that
the matter composing our sun and plan
cts once existed as vast gaseous neb-
lla. spiral in form. having an incOn-
ceivably high temperature and slowly
revolving on an axis passing through
it's center of gravity. As the mass
cooled by radiating heat into space a
contraction of volume with accelerated
axial rotation would ensue. in accord
ance with well known dynamic princi-
pies. The centrifugal force thus rap
idly increased would canse the separa-
ton Of large masses which would. by
mutual attraction of their own parti-
cles. gradually assume a spherical form
and become planets. BY a repetition
Of this process planet after planet
would be thrown off and the central
glowing sun would remain.

Mice That subsist on Scorpions.

Among the queer forms of animal
life that inhabit Death valley is
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form it's entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries its
formidable armament at the end OF
it's slender, elongated abdomen in the
shape of an exceedingly venomOus
hooked sting. When disturbed it ele-
Yates this in the air and goes in
search of its disturber. But it is COM
paratively slow in it's motions. while
mice are proverbial for their quick
ness the world over. The mouse learn
ed many generations ago where the
scorpion carries its weapon, and when
he meets it he leaps at the uplifted
abdomen. takes off the sting at sin
gle bite and proceeds to make meal
of his helpless prey. 1t is supposed to
be the only animal that relishes scor-
piOns.
