WOMAN FINDS MAN SRE THOUGHT DEAD
 VERY MUCH ALIVE

Believing herself a widow, Mrs Olive May Elkin, who has been known in this city for the past year and a half as Mrs. ArVel Chester, has learned that her husband, whom she had reason to believe died in a train wreck several years ago, is alive and well in Canada
 Upon learning that she was still the wife of Elkin, the woman, who was married to Chester by Justice P. P. Parker on July 21, 1915, left their home and is now living quietly pending a divorce action which she instituted in the superior court yesterday In the complaint she declares that she has brought suit in order that she might re-marry Chester
 The Elkins were married in Prescott in August. 1910 Elkin. it is alleged, deserted his wife, and this is a ground mentioned in the complaint for legal separation. According to the plaintiff. after Elkin's desertion she learned that he was in the state of Washington, where he was employed as a brakeman. few years ago she received a marked copy of a newspaper in which an ac- count of a railroad accident was given. The article stated that Elllin, employed as brakeman, had been killed and to make sure the story was correct Mrs Elkin inquired of her husbands mother and sister, who assured her such was the case and that the body had been identified
 With this assurance Mrs. Elkin re- married It was only a few days ago that she heard that the railroad man was alive, and immediately took steps to secure a divorce.

Higley, stat ing that he had been called to Wash ington and would leave last night He expressed hope though that he might return to Phoenix before leaving the country and again he referred to the warm feeling he had for this part of the country.
 It is presumed that his call to Wash ington came from the British mission there, headed by Mir Balfour. Sir Gil- bert is not only a member of parlia- ment, but he had had charge of the publicity work of the allies for this country since the outbreak of the war. vast mass of literature on all phases of the war has been prepared by him or under his direction. and widely dis tributed throughout the country. To his work is largely due the overwhelming sentiment in America in favor of the allies almost from the beginning of the war

A girl served her time for thievery She stole to eat, but that did not stop the woman from whom she took little, insisting on the pound of flesh. The girl learned in prison to see values with different eyes and when she came out, she sought the husband of the woman who sent her up. He had wanted to be lenient with the girl, but his wife was virtuously indignant
 She found the woman had insisted that the girl be sent to prison had not been so virtuous that she had not ac- cepted the attentions of other men.
 He was so broken-h hearted over the perfidy of his wife that he was about to kill himself The girl saw things differently. She wanted to get back on the social ladder. She wanted a chance to do a lot of good in the world. So she persuaded him to live and they started out to do the good, but a meddelsome, over-virtuous public stuck its long nose into the mixture and the inevitable happened. It's a long story of modern conditions. The Great Secret" Episode No. s, is the added attraction.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

The fall term at the State
Normal school will open Monday,
September 25th. The war situa-
tion leaves it imperative that
our children shall not suffer in
their educational opportunities.
Educated and trained teachers
should be employed, and the
standard of qualification for
should gradually be made high
er. To meet the need and demand
for trained teachers, the State
Normal school was established.
Last year it had an enrolment
of more than one thousand, and
it's enrolment this year should
be equally as great, if not great
er. Young persons expecting to
become teachers, who have COM
pleted their high-school work,
should arrange to enter the Nor
NAL school. Young women who
make early applications to Pres
ident Gilbreath may yet secure
lodging inthe dormitory. Lodg-
ing in private homes can be had
at a cost of about $1.00 a week.
Board in school dining hall costs
only about $3.50 a week. Tuition
is free. The Bulletin of the
school will be furnished to any
one who writes for it. This coun-
ty should have a number of stu
dents enter the Normal School
on September 25th; and | urge
high-school graduates and teach
ers who failed on examination to
enter the Normal School this
year.

COMPULSORY
ATTENDANCE

That the State Of Tennessee
has a law requiring the attend
ance at school of children of
certain ages, is being questioned
by many people throughout the
county. For the benefit, or en-
lightenment OF those doubling
such an act, the following may
be of interest:
ACTS 1913 CHAPTER 9
Section 1. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee, that every
parent, guardian or other person
in the State of Tennessee having
charge or control of any child
between the ages Of eight and
fourteen years, inclusive, shall
cause said child to be enrolled
in and attend some day school,
public, private or parochial, for
eighty consecutive days.
Provided, that any parent,
guardian or other person having
charge or control of any child
between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen who is not actively and
regularly engaged in some use
full employment or service, 'or
who is unable to read ond write,
shall cause said child to attend
school as herein provided for
children between the ages of
eight and fourteen.
Section 8 of this Act also pro-
that any parent, guardian
or other person, failing to COM
ply with the provisions of this
Vet, shall be deemed guilty of a
and, upon convic-
tion therof, shall pay a fine of
not less than Two dollars nor
more than Twenty Dollars for
the first offense, and the cost of
suit.
The school officers report a
very good attendance for the
first month, only a very few who
are inclined to violate the law.
However, those who are careless
and negligent, will be indicted
and fined. All cases of this kind
come within the jurisdiction of
the County Judge, who alone has
the authority to try them.
