SOLVE FLASHING LIGHT
MYSTERY IN OLD CENTRAL

Passersby were given all the thrills
of a well narrated ghost story, when
they noticed a light flashing in a
third-story window of the empty and
long vacated Central hotel building

were dire suppositions of robbers or
other sneak thieves, maybe a crap
game, or plotters who had chosen
those unthought of rendezvous. Fin
ally MarshaIs Engle and Haugh we're
summoned and with electric fash
lights playing, they set out to solve
the mystery. The doors were UNI
barred and three flights of creaky and
spooky stairs we're climbed. They
approached the room and through the
transom the occasional light showed

was vacant. bare and unoccupied

HEIRS SUE DIR. JOHN w. PARKER
Half Brothers and Sisters Seek Title
to Hallam Residence

Charging that DR.. John w. Parker
exerted undue influence and took ad-
vantage of the mental and physical
condition of Mrs. l. S. Hallam, which
made her incapable of transacting
business, when she signed purport-
ed warranty deed which transferred
the Hailam residence on North
Buckeye to him, Lillian McGregor,
Frank McGregor, and Bertha McGreg
or, of Parkersburg, w. Va, David
McGregor, Carlo, w. Va, and Rob
Roy McGregor of Mobile, Alabama,
half brothers and sisters of Mrs. Hal
lam, today filed suit in the district
court through their attorneys, Hurd
& Hurd, to have the deed set aside.
They seek judgment for possession of
the property valued at $4,000 as the
heirs of the estate and state that Mrs.
Hallam left no valid will.
The warranty deed in question was
given July and Mrs. Hallam died
Aug. 5 The petition states that the
transfer was made for a nominal con-
sideration of one dollar when in fact
there was no consideration paid. AS
the only heirs, the half brothers and
sisters claim that they are entitled to
the title of the property. The trial
will be heard in the September term
of court.

NEEDS OF THE GRADED
SCHOOLS DEMAND ACTION

The school boards plan of school
Improvements does not stop with the
high school, but also includes the
grades. .h
The Garfield school, in which is
housed by far the greater part of our
elementary school pupils, is now and
has been for some years overloaded.
Last year this building enrolled 494
pupils, an average of practically so
pupils per teacher. This number is
at least i 5 in excess of what a teacher
should have to get the best results.
This is evidenced by the fact that the
percentage of failures in this building
was larger last year, than in either of
the other eleemntary schools. If the
seventh and eighth grades were re-
moved from this building, there
would still be an enrolment of 40
pupils per teacher for the eight
teachers that would then be employed
there. Certainly no one will say that
this mum Der of pupils is extrayagant-
ly small per teacher.
There are two basement rooms In
Garfield school now used as regular
school rooms in which pupils are
seated continuously in the school day
These rooms would be converted into
work and play rooms. They would
afford an opportunity Of putting
manual training and sewing into the
elementary schools, thing now i'm
possible on account of the lack OF
room.
It is highly necessary that people
understand the Importance OF the
graded schools situation in this ques.
ton. It is quite as essential that
thew be relieved as it is that high
school should be. We are not doing
for our graded schools what we
should. In study made of % cities
of the second class in Kansas, ranging
in population from 5000 to 5000,
there we're only two cities exceeded
us in the number of pupils enrolled
per teacher in the graded schools
These were mining communities In
the southeastern part of the state
Only two cities in the list we're spend
ing a smaller sum per pupil for ele.
mentary school instruction. We
need greatly to enlarge our common
school accommodations as well as
those of the high school The only
plan by which both can be reached is
the one outlined above.
