TEACHERS LOSE PAY
Those With Deduction Contracts Can
not Collect for Time Lost.

School teachers who have contracts
with their school boards for a certain
definite term of school and a pro-
viso that deductions in salary may be
made on account of the closing of the
school. do not get pay for the en-
forced vacation period. This is the
ruling of the attorney general, in nu-
merous cases coming to him on ac-
count of the closing of the schools be-
cause of the influenza.
A state law provides for the pay
ment of the salaries for school teach
ers when the schools are closed on ac-
count of contagious disease. The at
torney general holds that the law is
good but it has been found that a
large number of teachers have con-
tracts providing for definite term of
school and for deductions of salary on
account of the closing of the schools
The attorney general holds that the
contracts are effective even tho the
law provides for salaries when schools
close because of epidemics

German Commercial Man Scheming
for After-War Trade Rule,

London, Oct. IS British Admiralty
wireless) German commercial classes
are busily engaged in devising astute
schemes for regaining supremacy at
the termination of the war.
General approval has been ex-
pressed in German papers of the plan
suggested by the chamber of COM
merce of Plauen. A few of the clauses
proposed follow:
1.-The chamber of commerce Is of
restitution of German foreign COM
modities. These will soon reconquer
old markets which before the war
were dominated by German trade.
German chambers of commerce
should be set up in foreign countries
as independent bodies. which should
be free from government leading
strings.
Everything possible must be done
to avoid the impression that these in
situations are government organs, 9TH
erwise an insuperable obstacle will
from the very first be placed in their
path since it may be assumed that
suspicious of enemy countries will
continue after the war.
THE German chamber of COM
merce should be modelled on the Eng
lish type. A great commercial period

should be issued in the interest of
German industry. German banks will

farmers of the counties. I feel that
their efforts in making seed loans
available for the purchase of seed
wheat in time of war were as effective
in some respects as If they had served
an equal length of time in the trenches
of Europe.
II also feel that the voluntary serv-
ice of members Of county farm bu-
reaus- and county councils of defense
on inspection committees in connec-
ton with these seed grain loans is
worthy of the highest praise. These
men gave freely of their time and ex-
perience in the inspection of fields
and the verification of seed loan ap-
locations, without any reward but a
consciousness of public duty well per-
formed in time of war and the feel
ing that they were cooperating with
the government and helping their
neighbors in making a substantial in
creGce in the acreage of winter wheat
which otherwise would not have been

Dvina. oct. l5-An annoying trench
from which a Bolshevik pom pom had
shelled our advanced positions for a
week was taken today in an assault
by American troops. 1t was captured
after a difficult march and a hot
fight.
The Americans debarked at dawn
from a wheezy old river steamer with
in sound of the Bolshevik gunboats
Smelling villages up stream.
After trudging five miles over a
road deeper in mud than those IN
Flanders, thru struggling villages and
past a roadside chapel, near which are
the graves of four Americans killed
month ago, the troops halted at noon
to rest in the lower end of shell
sprinkled village The little garriosn
of the hamlet had been holding off for
a week superior attacking forces, aid
ed by a fleet of gun mounted river
boats. Here runner directed the
contingent to slip Immediately thru

was encircling the village

Undiscovered soldiers single file mile
after mile thru the tundra, which
one American soldier described as a

across clear cold puddles. but plunged
in up to their thighs where the hum
mocks were infrequent. The Ameri-
cans spent hours in this frigid ever
glade. The sun was setting and the
wind whipping the moss bearded trees
as they reached the edge of the forest
bordering the road on which stood the
Bolshevik trenches and field guns.
The soldiers were picking blueberrleS
as they advanced silently. The rifle OF
one of the men caught in the low
hanging limb of tree and was dis
charged. All the troops Topped face
down in the swamp water but they
were not discovered
Then they rushed quietly across a
clearing to the next forest strip. They
heard the Bolsheviki talking and
laughing. Behind the trees they
formed a skirmish line within a hun
dred feet of the enemy. Suddenly
they were discovered. The Bolsheviki
shouted, "Shoot them; they are be-
hind u.s." There were scattering shots
and then came a Gathering all along
the line, the Americans shooting hard
and fast as they lay fiat hugging the
ground they had cursed in the march
but which now was protecting them
from the bullets whistling overhead
Then the Americans again sprang for
ward under fire to within ten yards OF
the road.

in possession of the trench and the

Two riderless horses picked their
way among the bodies of the dead
Bolsheviki lying in the road. One of
the bodies was that of the captain
commanding the trench. Wounded
Bolsheviki stood on the edge of the
forest mumbling incoherently. Others
were fleeing into the woods on the
American right, firing as they ran.
They were pursued but as darkness
approached, they rallied and the
American line fell back and occupied

MONEY WELL SPENT
Half a Million Acres of Wheat in
Kansas With Government Aid.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 1s.-Half
million acres have been sown to wheat
in Kansas with money lent by the
United States government. This is the
estimate of Leon NJ. Estabrook, of the
department of agriculture, made pub
lie here today. .
Approximately 5000 applications
from Kansas have been approved, the
amount loaned being about $3.50, 600
The total number of approved applica-
tons in the entire southwest is about
10000, representing something more
than 100000.
II wish to take this opportunity.
said Mr.. Estabrook, Ito express my
appreciation of the fine spirit OF CO.
operation and the high degree of eff
cheney displayed by the officials of
the agricultural college and especially
by the county agents, without whose
effective cooperation the plan of
making seed grain loans would have
proved impracticable. They are to be
commended for their devotion to their
work and their Jealous services to the
