RULES T|CHTENED AT
 JOINT MEETING OF
 RULES COMMITTEES
TRepublican A. p. Leased wlrel


 COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 5.--Rouch drafts Of a code of racing laws for tracks affiliated with both the Nation al and American Trotting associations have been accepted by the joint rules committee of the two governing or ganizations. One of the principal new prQvisOs is that the rules shall be mandatory and not subject to any alteration whatsoever by officials of an individual racing concern.
 Various systems under which races may be conducted are prescribed Hereafter it will not be possible for any three -in-five to terminate with the fifth heat in case of split-up. The race must go on until one horse gets three heats
 Time allowances are not so liberal as heretofore. Weight making by drivers is thing of the past and only winners of races will be charged with records. An effort to mark heat win ners failed of adoption.

Chamberlain Bill
Before Congress,

There is before the Congress OF
the United States and which was
passed by the Senate at the last
session, measure known as the
Chamberlain bill, in which Protes-
tants and Catholics are working
together in harmony for an increase
of army chaplains, Formerly q
chaplain was allowed for each reg.
iment Of 1900 men, but since the
regiment has been increased to s.
800 men, it can be easily seen that
more chaplains are needed. 1t il
generally conceded that one minis
ter has his hands full in attending
to the spiritual wants Of 1900 men
The work of the chaplain shows II
many ways, notably insthe increas
of personal control, reduction OF dis
ease and disability and a strength
ened morale among the men. In
subject is well worth writing a lei
ter to your member Of Congress, a
the Chamberlain bill must be pass
ed in December or fail in the lowe
house.

INSTRUCTIONS
TO TEACHERS.

The following letter was received
by County Superintendent, 0. Z.
Holmes, which is self-explanatory.
All teachers are asked to comply
with same.
MY dear Superintendent.
The next examination will be
held December 20 and q. There
will be no examination on the Read
ing Circle books but there will be
a professional examination as pre-
scribed by law. While this exami-
nation will not be technically based
upon these books yet the subjects
treated by them are so essential
shall confne the questions largely
to these subjects, Anyone with
professional judgment to teach
school should be able to answer the
questions whether he has read the
books or not.
The last legislature placed music
and drawing upon the list of re-
quired subjects to be taught 10 our
public schools. |, therefore. must
include these In the next examine
tion. ! can promise your teachers
the examination will be very easy
this time, but will gradually grow
more difficult as the teachers have
time to prepare themselves on these
subjects.
| | hope you are seeing to 1t that
your teachers are teaching both the
subjects"

Dick Naylor in the Home and

Getting down to a final analysis
Of patriotism, we must admit that
it must be based upon sel6shness--
not mean, narrow, niseardly selfish
mess, but broad. fas-reschiHas selfish
ness--a just and judicions selfish
ness in fact. Indeed, patriotism
springs from a true spirit Of nation
al self preservation, just as much as
the instinct of self-defense eminates
from an apprehension OF bodily
harm. We have most striking
proof Of this in the present war
with Germany. Every intelligent,
well-informed American realizes
that the entrance Of the United
States into this fearful conflagration
was purely a movement of self-de.
fence-on act of national self pre-.
servation: We realize, too, that
while the victorious termination Of
the deadly struggle will secure tt
our own country a continuation o.
the blessing of freedom and self
government, it will do the same FOL
our allies and the world at large
1t is a noble, exalted, glorious sci

a noble, exalted, glorious selfishnes'
that dictated the declaration o.

and family that prompted the move
