CECIL DISTRICT NOW
HAS TWO SCHOOLS
Community Strife Ends With Appeal
to State Superintendent of
SchOOls-Teacher Once Fired
Is Hired Again.

School life down at Cecil, in Dis
trict No. s, is some exciting these
days. In fact Cecil, for its popula-
tion and Importance to the rest of
the county, is becoming a regular
educational center. 1t is now posi-
Bile for pupil to attend either q
public or private school in the lower
Willow creek valley, for they now
have both kinds at Cecil and it all
came about in this manner:
At the beginning of the present
school year W. H. Grant, a man who
came highly recommended from
where he had taught previously, was
hired and given a contract by the
school board of District No. s, which
in substance is Cecil. Things started
off in fiourishing manner and the
prospects for successful school year
we're indeed bright.
Now enters the germ of discomfort.
germ which makes for a deadly
disease in community upbuilding. A
certain portion of the school board
did not like Professor Grant. Yet
the remaining portion of the board
were enthusiastic over his work. In
spite of conflicting opinions, MIR.
Grant was asked to resign. He took
his contract firmly in his hand and
refused to resign. He would desist
from teaching, but owing to the val
idity of his contract he would expect
his pay to continue, which in the
eyes of the law was justice.
Certain members of the school
board resigned. An appeal was fin
ally made to the state superintend-
ent after it was found that County
Superintendent Shurte was unable to
do anything in the matter and at the
present time the appeal still rests
with the state superintendent. He will
finally decide what the Cecil school
district is to do with a teacher who
has been ousted before his contract
has been nullified, and the charges
made against Mr., Grant will either be
substantiated of refuted.
In the meantime the board, now
controlled by that portion in opposi-
tion to the teacher, hired a new in
structor, Mrs. Joyce B. Hayes, and
the public school was continued.
However the supporters of Mr.. Grant
were loathe to give him up. and he
was encouraged to open up private
school until the controversy is set
tied. The private kchool now has
more pupils than the~ublic school.
Mrs. Hayes taught in the Cecil
school last year, until complaint
came in to the superintendent CT
flee signed by majority of the tax
payers in District No. s.

STATE IS READY TO
MAKE FARM LOANS
Final Instructions, Blank Applicaa.
tiOns and Tables Forwarded
to Attorneys.

Salem, Or, March 20.-Actual op
Grafton of the rural credits amend
ment got under way today. Fina
letters of instruction relative to am
ortization tables were sent out by G
G. Brown, clerk of the State Land
Board, to respective attorneys in the
36 counties of the state. and 1t is ex.
pected that within week the first
application will come in from one OF
the attorneys fora loan.
The application blanks are exten-
sive and carefully prepared to cover
every possible feature which might
be of interest to the Board before a
loan is made.
In its letter of instructions to the
attorneys for the Board, the State
Land Board writes, in part, as fol
lows:
"You will impress upon the bor-
rover that the annual payments must
reach the office of the State Treasurer
before the date when due.
Applications will be considered
for even hundred-dollar amounts
only.
You will require borrower to pay
for recording the mortgage.
I'm fixing the fees to be paid at
torneys it was the intention that the
minimum fee should be SO and that
on amounts above $1,000 the attor-
ney should receive $40 and one-half
Of l per cent of the amount in ex-
cess of $1,000, but in framing the
bill the fee was reduced to $40 and
two-fifths of per cent of the amount
of the loan instead $40 and two
fifths of l per cent of the amount in
excess Of $1,000, which would make
the fee received on loans of from
S1100 to $1,000. inclusive, exceed the
l per cent received from the appli-
cant. The Board feels that 1t would
have no authority to pay the short
age out of the rural credits fund.
and, in view OF this. will therefore
expect to pay to you not in excess Of
l per cent on loans up to and in
GLIDING $500. Above that amount
your fees will be computed on the
basis provided by section 5 of the
rural credits legislative enactment" :"
The information sent to the attor-
neys today also contains amortiza-
tion tables covering loans of $1,000
payable In annuaf installments of
$3.50, $50, $65 and $50, these being
for loans running ten years, 20 years,

bONE.DRY LAW IS IN.
TERPRETED BYATTORN'y

Numerous requests are pouring in
upon Attorney General Brown for in
depreciation of various features of the
bone dry" prohibition law.
In repIst to list of questions from
District Attorney Piasecki, of Polk
county, the attorney general empha-
sizes that those who are authorized
to obtain from the district attorney
permits to purchase or import ethyl
alcohol, are as follows:
Wholesale druggists, manufactur-
ers, hospitals, public infirmaries, lab
oratories, medical colleges, physi-
clans, dentists, retail druggists, per-
sons engaged in any scientific, pur-
suit, art of industry requiring alcohol.
A druggist, the attorney general
advises, may compound any prescrip-
tion for physician SO long as the
medicine compounded does not vio-
late the provisions defining intoxicat-
ing liquors.
A physician, he says, may prescribe
medicine containing alcohol, and II
the prescription contains drugs that
render the alcohol unfit and impossi-
BILE of being used as beverage, 1t is
then lawful for the pharmacist to fill
the prescription.
If a physician, however, writes
prescription which, when compound
ed, is fairly capable of being used as
beverage, and the druggist fills such
prescription, the attorney general
holds that both the physician and
pharmacist will be liable under the
law.
when may ethyl alcohol be sold
by registered pharmacist upon pre-
scription of physician" asked the
Polk county district attorney, and the
attorney general replies as follows:
"First-The physician must be of
good standing, actually engaged in
the practice of his profession in this
state, and not of intemperate or i'm
moral habits and not addicted to the
use of narcotic drugs.
"Second-The prescription must
bear the date and the same must be
the actual date of its issuance; the
number of the prescription shall be
plainly written upon its face.
Third-The person presenting such
prescription to any pharmacist before
being permitted to purchase the alco-
hol prescribed therein, must comply
with the provisions of the prohibi-
tion law in relation to signing and
swearing to his affidavit.
Fourth--Each such prescription
shall state on its face, in the English
language, the general nature of the
ailment for which such alcohol is pre-
scribed, the name and address of the
patient for whom prescribed and the
physician issuing the same.
"Fifth--No prescription for ethyl
alcohol shall be written and no pre-
scription shall be, filled by a phar-
macist until the requirements set
forth shall have been substantially
and in good faith complied with"

dition to Heppner musical circles and
! her initial appearance met with
hearty applause.
Mrs. c. L. Sweek played a piano
solo and responded to an enchore.

iaus, Sandy Anderson and Jock Cole

Scotch songs and making Harry Lau-
der ashamed Of himself, Jock played
some Irish melodies on the violin.

ment. In playing the Irish 'jigs, he
was accompanied by Sandy Ander-
son on the piano and Pat McDermott
danced the jigs in true Irish style.
They were called back repeatedly.
