While the state investigators regard
their inquiry as virtually completed

ten New Coalition Cabinet.
PEACE PLEA is SC0TCHED

Russian internal affairs still claim
precedence in interest over happenings
along the Russian front. The demo-
cratic congress has adjourned. after
providing for the constitution OF a
parliament OF sos members. which is
expected to sit until the constituent
assembly is elected. The Petrograd
radicals now seem disappointed at the
result of this congress and have called
a session of the all-Russian soldiers
'nd workmen's deputies to meet in
Petrograd, bringing up the threat of
N opposition parliament. as they ap-
oarently consider the conservative in
fuences too strong in the body au
thorized by the congress.
The cabinet situation in Petrograd is
sun complex. but hope is expressed by
the government that an adjustment for
a coalition ministry will be reached.
Admission OF the constitutional demo-
rats still seems to be the point at
issue in the conferences between the
government and representatives OF the
divergent interests

TEACHING MODIFIED
BY THE WORLD WAR
New Problems of Education
Discussed by Supt. Thurs
ton in Annual Report
SUGGESTIONS ARE OFFERED

Existence Of serious problems brought
about by the war. and the need and
desirability of radical changes in the
public school system to develop pupils
along the most efficient lines. especial
ly in equipping them to. earn a liveli-
hood, are features brought out In the
annual report OF the superintendent Of
public schools, Ernest l.. TAurston.
The report, made public last night. is
one of the most voluminus ever made
by a school superintendent of WASH
ington.
The most serious problem, probably.
is labor shortage, this being felt in the
teaching, clerical and janitorial forces
Supt. Thurston urges the extension of
manual training and handicraft into
lower grades than those in which it is
now taught: urges much greater extern
sion of the night and summer school
work: advocates more vocational and
prevocational work. and notes that
there is marked tendency" toward
the school organization which calls for
a stx-year elementary school. three
year junior high school and q three
year senior high school in the place of
the present eight-year elementary
school and four-year high school.

Salary Scale on Wrong Basis.

Supt. Thurston points out that the
salary scale for teachers is on wrong
basis; calls attention to the need for
additional teachers and urges the es-
Enlistment of dental clinics. He also
urges preparation for the greater
Washington" which will follow the
war.
Following are some of the points
made by the superintendent in his re-
port. He devotes especial attention to
the exigencies developed by the war.
4 believe We should impress on the
minds of the public and on our own
student body the fact that we are now
entering period when the public
schools should do their work with an
efficiency greater than ever before.
There should be no interference with
or restriction of the work of our pub
lie schools, except under the greatest
necessity. Rather should they expand
their activities and equipment in or
der to do better their duty OF training
the citizenship of tomorrow for capable
and efficient service. Serious inter-
ruptlon or restriction must necessarily
burden and limit the usefulness of the
coming generation. Far less than ever
before can we afford to have the sup
ply OF trained men and women cut off.
or seriously reduced. as has been tho
case in past years. and in some coun-
tries in the present war.
In this connection interruption of
school work from within the service
must also be reduced to a minimum,
The fact must be emphasized to pupils
that regularity and close application
in connection with school work 4. a
patriotic service which every student
may render.

In conference in an earnest attempt to
settle Russia's political and economic
crisis had not reached an agreement
when they took recess this evening
until late at night. after six hours con-
sultation with a view to the formation
IF coalition cabinet. The men as they
anne out of the conference room were
still in a hopeful frame of mind, it ap-
peared. however. although the govern
ment spokesman would not describe the
situation as one to be viewed with
optimism.
The conference. which was held in the
winter palace with Premier kerensky
presiding, was a unique gathering repre-
sentative OF revolutionary Russia. II was
the first time that the shaggy peasants
and soldiers, who had been accustomed
to demonstrating against and attacking
the bourgeoise. had sat with them on
equal terms at the council table.

Complexities Situation.

The adjournment of the democratic
congress seemed to complicate rather
than clarity the cabinet situation, al
though the government was still hope
full of reaching a coalition agreement
which would satisfy all factions.
The resolution adopted by the SOL
diers and workmen's deputies. declar-
ing the country in grave danger from
a counter revolutionary movement also
charges that the parliament convoked
by the democratic congress includes
conservative forces which are strong
enough to block the course OF true
democracy.
The situation thus may resolve itself
into the case of two parliaments sitting
at once and each claiming power Awake
to the situation created by the soldiers
and workmen's action, the government
is bending all efforts to hasten the for
nation of the cabinet in hope of clear
ing UP the tangle.
Before adjourning. the democratic
congress voted down a resolution urp-
ing all the democracies to make a
speedy democratic peace"

FUTURE FOR
MULE PRODUCERS
Brood Mares Scarce, Rearing
Of Mule Colts Unprofit-
able Unless Mare Earns
Keep.

Kentucky was the pioneer State in
mule production. The American Jack
was developed largely in Kentucky,
which made the State so greatly in
terested in breeding mules. Gradu.
ally the Kentucky jack stock became
distributed to neighboring states and
the use of heavy mares on the corn
belt farms made the production OF
mules an important industry Of other
states.
The mule is so superior to the horse
as farm power that he is used in the
South almost exclusively, while the
middle western states are calling for
him in ever increasing numbers.
Eventually he will be on almost every
farm of the country and in use for
draft purposes in the cities of the
north.
Draft mules are now in unusual de-
mand in prices ranging from $500 to
500 per pair. The U. S. army is in
the market for classes that can be
bought from $50 to $235 each. The
small and billy farms as well as the
mines call for the 80O-lb to 950-lb
mules.
This demand makes the outlook for
mule breeders very bright. There is
a market for almost every type of
mule, but the better classes are more
in demand and will pay better.
If brood mares can be used on the
farm for work and at the same time
produce mule colts each year, the
greatest profits will arise. At present
prices Of feed it will not pay to keep
mares for mule production alone.
The brood mare to be profitable must
do at least work enough to earn her
board and interest on her cost. The
colt will be profit. If kept on the farm
the mule colts can be brought to the
two-year.old form on coarser and
feeds. Usually they can be
broken at this age and made to earn

The official assessment blanks for

use when he and his deputies start on
their rounds next Saturday to list
property "as of September l." The
blanks came from the Office of the
State Tax Commission at Frankfort.
While the terms of the new law
have been fairly well understood by
those interested in the subject, the
publication of these assessment lists
has been awaited with the keenest in

themselves the meaning of the law by !

The most noteworthy fact in the
new tax law, as brought out in the as
sessment lists and the portions of the
law quoted, is the heavy penalty pro-
vided for failure to report property
for assessment. Before the law was
passed person who failed to report
