MONTANA STOCK RA|SERS
TO PROFIT BY EMBARGO
Great Nortl,em. Takes Action
10 Relieve Car Shortage
in This State.
RANGE CATTLE MOVE
Minnesota and Dakota Ship
ring Is Stopped Tenn
porarily by Order.

st Paul. Oct. :3--The Great North
crn railroad today announced al EN-
barge on all livestock shipments over
its lines from all points in Minnesota
and North Dakota to the South St.
Paul livestock yards. The embargo,
which goes into effect tomorrow. prob
ably will be lifted within Il few days
when the car situation Is improved.
W. p Kenny. vice president of the
Great Northern, said the order was is
sued because many cattle Owrv,rs are
short of feed and are shipping all their
stock at one time. creating Il shortage
of cars.
The chief reason for the order it
was explained in rail circles. was to
provide the big ranchers and stockmen
Of Montana with sufficient ears to
handle range cattle just beginning to
move. The magnitude of the Montana
business. it was said. made 1t neces-
sary for the road to mobilize all its
available rolling stock in that state.
In North Dakota where feed is short
and farmers have been rushing their
stock to market to escape the severe
weather. many will probably suffer
losses because OF the embargo as
much stock is liable to perish. Sew
cral inches of snow and biting tenn
peratures were reported In various sec
tions of North Dakota by shippers
While no embargo has been placed
on the Sioux City market. the removal
of cars in this territory virtually will
result in one there.
I The outlet for livestock to eastern
points was also curtaled today when
several roads announced they would
not accept cattle. sheep or hog ship
mcnts originating in or unloaded in
Minnesota.

Macon beacon., 1917-09-07

To the Patrons of the Macon Graded
and High School:
School opens September 10th,
but as explained elsewhere in The
Beacon the children are not asked
to come until Tuesday, September
11th. Monday will be given over
to faculty meeting.
We are especially anxious for
every boy and girl of school age to
be enrolled in school this session.
Our national government is max.
ing every possible effort to awaken
the nation to the Importance of
keeping the children in school.
This week l received two letters
from the Bureau of Education re.
questing that the community be
aroused to the danger of children
staying out of school to work.
There is great demand for labor
and in some localities children are
being paid more now than adults
we're paid a year ago. This makes
1t very tempting to parents, espe.
cially during times of such high
prices, to allow children to stay
away from schools to earn this
money. While this may not be
true in our own community, it is
true that many of our workers
have been called to the front and
in some cases children may be able
to secure the places made vacant.
We should remember that in prac.
tically every instance to allow a
child to stay out of school is to
ruin his chances for life. 1t is
poor economy even in considera.
tion of money, and from stand
point of future happiness and use
fulness, it is much more harmful.
Let us see that every child in our
community attends school.
The only change in the faculty
this year is in the seventh and
eighth grade work. Miss Mize re.
signed to accept work at home and
Miss Rosa Hewitt, of McComb, has
been elected to fill the place. Miss
Hewitt has taught in these grades
in the McComb schools for a num-
Der of years. She secured her
training under the supervision of
Supt. Hughes, who made the Nc.
Comb schools one of the best city
school systems in the state. She
has been successful in her work
and is considered one of the strong
est grade teachers in Mississippi.
We feel fortunate in securing her.
Due to the unsettled conditions
and the many changes being
brought about by our entry into

Notice TO Teachers.

| have the following from the state
superintendent of education relative Ia
the institute fee:
"All teachers are required to pay an
nually an institute fee of fifty cents.
This includes all teachers of all kinds,
ages and color. with the exception OF
those who pay fees when they stand the
Fall examinations. The fees paid at
the Spring examinations are for the
year past. September begins a new
school year.
Several teachers last year forgot to
pay this fee. The fee is 30 small that
no one will feel it; but il the superin-
tendent has to pay for quite a number
of teachers who overlook the matter,
it amounts to eood deal for the one.
So that | hope no one will feel embar-
rassed if l remind you of the institute
fee.
Teachers can make contracts with me
at any time after the tenth Of this
month. The law requires that con-
tract be made before the school is
