COON HUNTERS, READ THIS.

Vic and Ernest Lewis, Lane Ire
son, George Vandyke and Jas. Hawk
ins returned Sundy evening from n
hunting trip to Burke's Garden. The
seasons catch in the way of coons is
reported. A large, big fat, juicy fell
low was located, and took refuge in
Il cliff of rock. One of Mr.. George
Lewises rat dogs was along, and was
sent i'll to see what he could find. 1t
wasn't long before Mr.. Coon came
"bilin' out of there" but was met Mt
the entrance of the cave by two. 1t
is said that it took him about two
minutes to whip both of the hounds.
He was soon subdued, however, and
separated from this mortal sphere.
The scales showed that he weighed
4o-odd pounds. An examination of his
mouth was made, and it was found
that he had long since parted from
all his teeth. Notwithstanding the
fact that this coon may have been
the granddaddy of all the coons in
Burke's Garden, the hunters cooked
him up and had n feast.
All right, Galloway, it's your deal!

One interesting feature of the oc-
casion was the awarding of medals to
three bright boys-White, Davis, and
Authenread, by Mr.. ]. w. Chapman.
These medals were given by the U. S.

in the interest of Liberty Bonds.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS TO CON.
SIDER TEACHERS REQUESTS.

The County School Board met this
week to consider a resolution passed
by the County Teachers Associa-
tion in September, asking for an in
crease in salary of ten per cent. This
request of the teachers seems to have
been prompted by actual needs and
to have been made in good faith, be-
lieying that the county school funds
justified such an increase. The board
comedies the argument of the teach
ers in their presentation of conditions
the increased cost of Giving" and
dressing" leaving the teacher a very
small margin under the present sched-
ule of salaries. but with the Board as
with the teachers, it is cold business
proposition,-a matter of dollars and
cents. The Board and the people gen.
orally would like to see the teachers
get more money for their services.
They unquestionably should be as
well paid or even better paid than
any other class of workers in the
whole social process, but as q practi-
cal proposition the school officials
must meet conditions as they are.
One hundred and fifty teachers have
already been contracted for at an av.
erage salary of $4,000 month. In
checking up with the three clerks
from the three districts it is found

ne

that their estimates on the amount
required to run the schools this year
is already several thousand dollars
more than the amount paid last year
because Of (a) the increase in sala-
ries fixed at the annual meeting in

increase of general expenses Of run

er, says there will be n normal in

are not in yet it is impossible to say
how far normal increase In taxes
will go to meet an abnormal increase
in expenses. Mr.. Britain will make

after q broad, frank, and sympathet-
ic discussion of the matter from three

IF KUEHLMANN MEANT 1T.
New York Times.(

If, as Foreign Secretary Kuohlmann
alleges, the only obstacle to peace is
Alsace-Loraine, why should Auotria,
Turkey and Bulgaria go on fighting
any longer? Not one of them has
the remotest interest in the question
whether Germany shall keep that
spoil or return it to it's riiitgful own
ers. The best proof that Kuehlmann
was not speaking tho truth is that
Austria, Turkey, and Bulgaria do not
believe him. If they did, if they
thought they were staggering on
through war Of which they are
weary just SO that Germany might
hold on to the land of which she robb-
ed France forty-six years ago, a
nightly clamor for separate peace
would arise in at least one of those
countries. What interest, for instance,
has Hungary in Alsaace-Loraine? F?
The Austrian Kaiser would not be
able to resist Hungary's demand for
peace for day. But. they know that
Kuehlmann did not Speak the truth.
that 1T was merely n manoeuvre to
sow dissension among the Allies, to
set the pacifist tools of Germany go
ing again in England, Russia, and the
United States.
The obstacle to peace is not Alsace-
Lorraine, but the German Government;
the German government with its in
tention, either now or later, to make
GERMANY doinant over the rest of the
world. Now, if pacifist dupes in the
enemy countries can bring about that
German victory which cannot be won
by German armies, later, if the enc
my countries can be fooled or bribed
into peace on the basis of the status
quo ante, into any peace short of
peace that SO handouts that Govern
ment that it can never again threat
en- the peace of the world.

LACK OF CHARM CAUSE OF DI
VORCES.

Madam Sarah Bernhardt, the great
French actress, in signed article in
November issue of Harper's Bazaar
attributes the numerous divorces that
have come into the courts of late
years to lack of charm in the women
concerned.
eff l stood at the threshold of life,"
says madam Bernhardt, "asking of it
something with which to buy hap
piness, l should beg for charm. For
II one has charm, she will be loved.
And woman must have love to be
happy. Beauty does not matter. If a
woman has charm she can secure
whatever she wants-love. success,
power"
But the Divine Sarah also says that
this invaluable quality can be culti-
waited and her prescription in Harp
er's Bazaar reveals the secret.
