High prices for fruit and vegetables the Department
of Agriculture announces, not due to shortage.
Shipments from the south at least equal to last year
when prices were much lower. That means that the
prices are due to the vicious American principle of put

1t is going to be hard to bring about horoughgong
form in such matter and 1t is impossible to be patient
with Congressman who think that it can be done by
moral suasion.

About fifteen or twenty of the
patrons of the Illinois School
District met is a mass meeting
in conjunction with the school
board on Monday evening, Oct.
18th, for the purpose Of COM
promising the problem of trans
portation of the school children.
There was a very unique sys-
tenn worked out by our school,
where each child attending from
a distance less than one and one
half mile shall receive 5 cents
per day; from one and one half
miles and less than three miles
shall receive 10 cents per day
and all travelling a greater dis
lance than three miles shall re-
ceive Is cents per day. Provid-
ed that no family shall receive
more than SO cents per day and
provided further that when a
child shall not have attended 10
days in the month there shall be
no compensation; should the at
tendance be more than 10 days
and less than Is, one half of
such earned compensation shall
be received. When the attend
ance is above Is days per month
full compensation shall be paid

for all days present. The pri-
mary object of this scheme is
to provide good transportation
for the children and at the same
time promote a better attend
ance for the school year. We
sincerely hope to see this work
wonders on our school and es-
pecially on the attendance.
There was no school last week
on account of both Principal
Tritt and Primary teacher, Miss
Henley attending the County In

meeting of the Rally held joint
ly for the teachers and school
officers on Wednesday, while G.

Roosevelt IS some pumpkins. He
is credited with the following
statement. Government pow

the hands of a very few men,
who would be so conspicuous
that no citizen could help know

should not come so frequently"
Doesn't that sound like the

ELK CASE DISMISSED.

The case of the state against John
Jones, w. F. Brackon and R. F. Emory
charged with killing an elk near the
Jones home on upper Rock Creek the
day after Christmas, was dismissed
yesterday by justice of the Peace W.
]. Smith, there being no evidence to
show that the defendants killed the
animal. The body of the elk was
found by DIR. Snyder about seventy
five yards from the Jones house, and
the blood trail indicated that it had
bee shot at stack about fifteen yards
from where it fell. Snyder visited
the house, where the men were play
ing cards and they all went out and
looked over the body. The men de-
MED all knowledge of the event say
ing that they did not hear the shot It
was showing and blowing outside at
the time. The proximity of the body
of the animal to the house was the
only circumstance which in any way
tended to implicate the defendants, so
they were released. Emory works fo~
Jones. while Breckon, who lives in
Kimberly was visiting the ranch.
