TEACHERS COTTAGES.

Teachers cottages, erected ny the
community in or near the school
house, and used not only as the
teachers residence but also as the
community center. are advocated in
a bulletin prepared by X. S. Kellogg
and distributed by the department Of
the interior through it's bureaus of
education to county superintendents
and other officers in charge of rural
schools. The bulletin describes the
movement for teachers residences in
rural districts and gives plans for
cottages of various sizes and types.
Lack of suitable boarding accom-
modations is one Of the most scri-
Gus difficulties in the way of securing
suitable teachers for country schools.
the bulletin declares. There are more
than 100000 rural school districts in
the United States and over 16 100000
children of school age who live in
the country or in towns of less than
1900 population, yet it is impossible
because of te living conditions to get
teachers of the highest type to re
main in the country
Mr.. Kellogg says; Many farm
houses nave no accommodations
Whatever lor teacher, and ur,cn
kitchen, living room ana dining room
are combined in one, with no heat
in any other room in the house. The
farmer and his family have to spend
most OF their time working indoors
or out, eating and sleeping. Their
occupations and hours of labor in no
way correspond to those of the teach
er, which increases the difficulty OF

ON the other hand, if the teacher
is forced to spend her entire time in

Residence Burned.

York, March 20.-Fire of unknown

rapidly and when the fire was dis
covered the roof had fallen in. For

The residence, occupied by Mr..

Mrs. T. d. Turner, caught from the
stable and was entirely consumed.
Only few articles of furniture were
saved. The residence was one of the
Oldest in York, having been built

LOCAL OlDSMOB|LE
AGENCY ANNOUNCES
new SERVICE PLAN

The universal service plan recently
adopted by the Oldsmobile Agencies
tt roughout the United States will be
used by the Pacific Motor Sales COM
pany of Ell Centre.
This service consists in part, of a
service DO x, good for thirty-six hours
free labor at any Oldsmobile Service
Station, and is payable for any kind
o; work whatsoever done on the car.
This plan has been found most sat
lsfactory, both to the owners of Odds
mobiles and Oldsmobile Agencies and
Service Stations, as no fine line has
been drawn as to what kind of work
should be included in the service. or
whether to make charge for the
work done.
Considering the high quality of ma
terial used and the one year guaran-
tee of the Oldsmobile, a thirty-siX
hour service book should last the av-
erage driver at least one year.
The local agency of the Pacific Mo-
tor Sales company, which was estab-
lished here last week, wishes to an
ncunce that their sales room, which
is in the rear of the FL Centro Ma
tion Bank, is now undergoing altera-
tions, an announcement of its opening
will be made later.
The three Oldsmobiles on display at
the present time are the latest prod
ucts of seventeen years of actual eN
perience in the manufacture of high
grade motor cars.

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
 BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple. but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar itching, burning skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists get a jar of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex- pensive. With the Resinol Soap and warm water bathe 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, and cover with . light bandage-if necessary to pro- tect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again.-Adv.

EXECUTIONS AND ARRESTS ARE DISCUSSED IN HOUSE OF
 COMMONS.
ASQUITH PROMISES RELIEF
Premier Promised to Make Careful In quiry Into All Incidents Mentioned No One More Anxious Than He
 to Avoid Undue Executions.

London.-Executions and arrests In Ireland were again discussed in the House of Commons in the form of questions to Premier Asquith.
 William O'Brien. Nationalist mem Der for the City of Cork, asked whether the premier was aware that hundreds of men from Cork and Tip perary had been arrested without any charge being stated and were confined in the Cork jail, where they were treated with the utmost harshness. He also asked whether steps would be taken to allay the universal public indignation at the reign of terror which had been established and wheth- CT the police and military had just raided the offices of the Cork Free Press. which had advocated recruit ing since the outbreak of the war.
 Premier Asquith said he would make diligent inquiries into the matter all luded to in Mir. O'Brien's question.
 A veritable volley of questions was directed at the premier from all sides of the House. Some members asked whether he was aware of the grave concern" felt over the executions, and others whether he knew of the grave concern" felt over the losses which loyalists had suffered. Philip Edward Morrell, Liberal member for Burnley. inquired whether F. Sheehy Skefington. editor of the Irish Citi- zen. had been shot fin the barrack square in Dublin before martial law was proclaimed, and Timothy Healy asked whether the premier knew whether the editors of the newspapers opposed to the revolt haa been shot without trial at Porto Bello barr acks without time being given them to say their prayers.
 The premier promised to make care sul inquiry into all the incidents men, toned No one was more anxious than the government, he said, that there should be no undue severity in the execution of the law.
