SHORTAGE OF acknowledgements
Supt. F. N. Olry Reports a Shortage
of Twenty-Five Teachers for the
Fall Term

County Superintendent of Schools
r. N. Olry informs the Review that
from present indications there will
be a shortage of school teachers for
the fall term which opens in Septem-
Der. He bases his estimate on the re-
turns of the June teachers eXamina-
ton which reached his office this
week. Many of the teachers failed to
secure certificates and it will be nee
essary for him to secure teachers to
fill the vacancies in this county from
other localities. He does not. how
ever, anticipate much difficulty in Sc
curing enough teachers for all of the
schools this fall
The report of the June teachers en-
animation was received Monday from
the state superintendent of schools at
Des Moines. who marked all Of the
papers. In all fifty-six took the ex'
aminations and opt of this number
sixteen failed. 4 le secured provis'
iOnal certificates, twelve third grade
certificates. twentythree second grade
certificates and only two received first
grade certificates.

We notice one of the teachers in
a department of the public schools of
Clinton, Iowa, was removed for dis
loyalty. This is not the first time a
public servant has been found want.
ing and discharged for want of pa
triotism and from now on it will be
no surprise if the disloyal remarks
and conduct of persons filling public
positions will be similarly death with
because the government is growing
tired of ,triffling with disloyal utter
ances and behavior on the part Of
those in authority. If ma" is not
loyal to his flag or his gov nment,
he has no right to claim the protec'
tion of either and he should seek a
more congenial climate. Every man is
either for or against the government
and he will find it difficult to per-
manently act the double role, and
when his language or his conduct be-
trays him he must expect the pun
ishment which is due disloyal sub
ject.

but that Miss Baker presented pro

manded more after each encore. The
program comprised an excellent rep

CHAUTAUQUA
ENDED SUNDAY
Denison's Eleventh Annual Chautau
qua Came to Close on Last
Sunday Evening.
TO RETURN AGAIN NEXT YEAR
program Was Well Balanced and Met
With the Hearty Approval Of
:, e.. All Attending

Denison's eleventh annual chautau
qua closed on Sunday evening and
people generally were we'll pleased
with the entertainments brought hera
by the Redpath-Vawter system and
are of the opinion that they were up
to standard in every respect. The
out with good lecturers and musical
programs as we'll as high class ell
tertainers.
We are glad to report that the Red
path-Vawter system will conduct an
other chautauqua in Denison nlyt
year. OyLr fine hundred season tic
kets were pledged during the last
three days of the Chautauqua and a
number OF business men signed a
guarantee which insures another chau-
tauqua under the old management.
Season tickets for the chautauqua
next year will cost $500 each, an ad5
vance of soc ticket. Mr.. Vawter has
found 1t necessary to advance the
cost of the tickets ewing to the fact
that everything that goes to make a
good chautauqua has increased con-
siderably during the past year. How
ever. we believe that as many season
tickets will be sold next year as were
disposed OF this year.
Below we give review of the pro-
gram from last Wednesday evening
until the close OF the week.
Wednesday Evening
The Royal Dragons furnished the
entertainment for Wednesday evening
and they could not be improved up
on. The Dragons, composed of nine
men, each band man aud singer. is
one of the best organizations on the
chautauqua system. Their rendition of
THE Sleigh Ride and Box Supper
was exceptionally good.

George In letter which was read mt

utmost to help rnise all food possible.

CRETE is HAVEN FOR EXILES
Fugitives From Many Lands In canea
Where No Extradition Treaties
Are In Force.

Canea Is in Crete, and Is most
disreputnbly picturesque and interest
ing place. Crete is land of troubled
politics, strategic point on which
four or five states had had their eyes
for the last decade, and until recently
1t was garisoned by the troops of
five nations. Canea Is n seaport on the
busiest Mediterranean ruote, where
no extradition treaties are in force. All
of which is another way of saying that
Canea Is poor place to display roll
of banknOtes and then go home alone
by dark street. There is always po-
liticnl trouble of one sort or another
on foot. and there are always numer-
GUS gentlemen of elastic morals from
Europe, Asia and Africa hanging about
the cafes, writes traveller.
They are an interesting crew, these
exiles from three continents. They
range all the way from polished SOL
diers of fortune who have organized
and led revolutions of their own brew
ing, to ragged Egyptian donkey boys
fleeing from justice for heaven knows
what petty crime. One and all, they
have travelled considerably; they have
the sophisticated polish Of men of the
world, whether they are In rags or
broadcloth.
Conspicuous is the use of many
tongues among this doubtful element
of the population they shift from Ian
guage to language and dialect to dia-
lect without effort and apparently
without thought. A Greek and an Al
gerian may be quarrellng in their ma
tive idloms, and the alteration is fol-
lowed with amused Indifference by
Turks, Egyptians, English, French.
Arabs, Italians. A very cosmopolitan
circle, the half-world of Canea.

viii Increase Food Supply.

Comprehensive plans are being
formed for the organization of every
county in the state for the purpose Of
producing the immediate planting Of
food crops to combat the worldwide
pending shortage in food supplies. 1t
Is the purpose of the State War Coun-
Gil, headed by Governor Gunter, to
have Colorado no laggard in response
to the appeal of President Wilson for
a united nationwide effort to increase
the production of foodstuffs. The
world is facing the most serious men,
ace Of modern times, as expressed in
President Wilson's proclamation when
he said: "The worlds food reserves
are low. Not only during the present
emergency but for some time after
peace shall have come, both our own
people and large proportion of the
people of Europe must rely on the har-
vests Of America. The time is short
1t is of the most imperative import
ance that everything possible be done
and done Immediately to make sure of
large harvests" A direct appeal is
being made to bankers, merchants,
business men and all other patriotic
citizens in the state to cooperate in
the formation of a complete organiza-
ton, both local and county, for the
purpose of getting immediate action
In the production of additional food
crops for the ensuing season.
