that school will begin Monday. Sep

OF special importance.
In the second place, there viii on

this class later than the first Mon
day following fair week.

school by this time and II can be
readily assumed that It's good repute
will be upheld during the coming
year. In tho grades each teacher
has been tried out here. but in the

that the United States was being
drawn near the verge Of war.

European governments, with Great
Britain in the lead, were credited with
having swept into their possession
100000 bushels or more OF wheat, one
OF the largest amounts that in months
had been taken in a single day. The
transatlantic demand for wheat de-
veloped after the market crashed down
ward at the outset under offerings that
for about fifteen minutes appeared TO
have no limit as TO volume.
The stampede to sell eased rather
abruptly when the fact became evident
that buyers were waiting for all the
supplies thrown on the market under

"The Rumanians. trusting 20 Rus
sian aid. had accumulated large guam
titles Of food supplies in this great
military base, hoping TO be able 70
transport them TO the rear. Unfortu-
natelv for the Rumanians the plans
miscarried. and when the Germans en-
tered they found the supplies which
they needed most
another evidence Of German eternal
preparedness was manifested by the az
rival of 200 civilian grain and oil eN-
merits. who followed on the heels OF the
invading forces. They were fully
equipped with all utensils of their
trade so that two weeks after Constan-

tanks and grain elevators were running
as smoothly as in peace times.
Other Messengers to arrive on the

the sentiment regarding the proposed

When informed on their arrival mat the
