Dear Editor
Before the school year closes
it has usually been my custom to
review my observations as a cas-
ual visitor at the schools. l have
observed on all my visits the ex-
cellent order that prevailed, the
capabilities of the instructors, and
the progress of the pupils.
Let me introduce you to the fine
qualities of the principal. Did
you inspect the domestic science
building? Did you see the man
ual training class at work? Did
you listen to his instruction in the
class room? Do you know his ex-
perience in this line? If you do,
then you must conclude that he
is some principal" Further, see
the order of his own household;
see the order in the school. This
proves the capabilities of a true
principalship. Look at the moral
qualities of the man himself-the
highest type. l have seen and
met many school principals, but
Mr.. Barackman is type of the
most excellent, and Cottonwood
ought to be proud of having such
a magnificent type of principal
ship. If you replace him you are
selling the high standard of the
school, for his qualifications have
no equal.
l would strongly recommend
that the school retain it's staff of
instructors and let the commu-
nifty, as we'll as the school, bene-
fit by the moral standard exhib-
tied during the past year.
Yours sincerely,
E. A. K. GRANT,
Pastor Community Church.

Rheumatic Pains Relieved

81 have used Chamberlain's Liniment
for pains in the chest and lameness of

am pleased to say that it has never failed

Some Good Advice

Don't think too much of your own
methods. Watch other peoples ways
and learn from them" This is good
advice, especially when bilious or con-
stipated. You will find many people
who use Chamberlain Tablets for these
ailments with the best results, and will
do we'll to follow their example.

MRS. KING DISAPPOINTED.
Mrs. Barbara King, the mother of
two small children, was disappointed
in not securing her decree. which was
asked upon the grounds of desertion
and failure to provide. Judge Davis
held in this case that the testimony of

fled, she was given 50 by her husband,

gone from the home and Immediately

MOVES DESK INTO
RECEPTION ROOM
Number of Changes Made in
Auditors Office - Van
Deusen Explains Why He
Has Only Men on Force.

While he is an ardent admirer OF
President Woodrow Wilson and is a
Democratic, Clarence Van Densen,
state auditor adopted the democratic
policy Of Charles Evans Hughes, when
he was governor Of New York, and
moved his desk into the reception
room of his department, where in the
future he will meet the visiting public
or others who desire to transact bust
ness with his department. The main
desk in the reception room has been
moved into the interior offices, where
the working force under the deputy
auditor will hold forth in the future.
TO MAIL ALL WARRANTS.
In place of the large counter desk
Auditor Van Deusen has installed a
small mahogany table for the use Of
the public for writing letters, ETC., and
number Of chairs. Writing material
and typewriters, If necessary, will be
provided for the public, which ia in
vited to make use of the reception
room. Just beyond this desk Auditor
Van Deusen has installed desk and
table for himself, where he will re-
main most Of the day. He still has his
private office in another part of the
suite
Another new feature the state au-
ditor has adopted is a pan to mail
warrants, the day they are drawn, On
state funds to the persons entitled 10
them. This will eliminate the neces-
sity of those desiring warrants of go
ing to the office, eliminate large
amount of extra bookkeeping and
make the records of the department
clearer. On the reverse side will be
a place for Endorsement and acknowl-
edging receipt which will answer the
same purpose as a record book here
tofore used for the taking Of sigma
lures of those in whose favor the war
rants are drawn.
WHY HE HAS ONLY MEN.
Discussing the fact that only men
are employed in his department, All
ditor Van Deusen said that he had
never made the statement prior to talk
ing office that he would not employ
women in his office but had said that
he would employ only men, and this
had been construed to attack him po-
litically. All of the men in this de-
partment were employed by me be-
cause of my former associations with
them in accounting work have DONE"
said Auditor Van Deusen. Il en-
ployed them because / know the work
they can do, and because of their COM
potency"
