years Of age, was a%pprenticed to a
shoemaker in his native land. He
served his apprenticeship Of three
years and then worked at his trade
until coming to this country thirty-five
years ago. Shortly after coming here
Mr.. Halbfass opened up a shoe shop in
the .roouos now occupied by the Ball
helm millinery p~arlors. where he re-
manned until he erected the building
now occupied by him . He not only re-
paired shoes. but made shoes and

Of a few thousand years prevented a
visit on his part to the shine parlor

Argyros proved his right to tho. title
when he pulled Ave 1920 banknotes
from the toe OF a shoe which had
been brought IN to shine and insisted
on returning them to their owner de-
spite the fact that she was ignorant
Of her loss. The shoes were brought
in a few days ago by q and
when work a started a mass OF
paper in one toe attracted attention.
Pulling it out the workman found the
banknotes. When the m who had
pinned her faith to the shoes as \
banking institution called for them
Mr.. Argyros asked her IL she had lost
any n which she denied. More
particular inquiry proved that she
had put the notes into the shoe and
forgotten them. When she described
the money It was returned to her. Mr..

all contracts. generally speaking, arr
for an increased salary.
Teachers Colieue Fttlinu Wants,

IoaoHoTe NoIo0e FUltnQ wants.
The demand for woman teachers at
an increased salary is reflected in the
fact that many OF the studcnt-teachers
that have been working In the Cedar
Falls public schools have already Sc
cured positions at as higi. as $40 per
month. Many school boards instruct
ltheir superintendent to send to
Teachers College for teachers rather
than pay more for teachers in the
field, believing they can secure a bet
ter choice. And Teachers College
nearly always fills the wants. Many
superintendents come direct TO Teach
ers' College themselves to select their
teachers, no less than fifteen being here
the past week, and every one OF them
are offering higher salaries h they
paid last year.
SUPPLEMENTARY SaIseies Increased.
Increases In superintendent sal
aries average around 5000 more a year,
according to figures complied from re-
turns from all over the state, the bureau
OF appointments secretary says, tho
AQmc hav been increased AS high as
SO per cent. Colfax this year increased
the superintendent salary from $1,000
to $2,4aG. Cedar Fails school board
is having difficulty in securing one at
$4,000 and probably viii have to pay
more.
The grade teachers, who are nearly
all women, are to have their innings
this year. according to the mass Of
records at Teachers College office
showing hundreds Of teachers hired at
increased salary. And the demand at
the college for teachers Is greater this
year than ever before. Every NAL
brings in a flood Of call for teachers.
The teacher is coming into her own.
