We speak of ''the glorious past" but
probabilities are the present is more SO.
No real boy is expected to be an
angel and he never disappoints you by
being one.
Many a man is brave enough to look
into lannon's mouth who is afraid to
allow a dentist to look into his mouth.
An investigation pretty often finds
that the chivalrous man who does not
wish his wife to come in contact with
the wrong kind of women at the polls,
does not object to her coming in con-
tact with them in the business world
when she is supporting him.

IN NEED OF TEACHERS.
Several Rural Districts May Combine
Schools This Year.

Several school districts in the
county have asked permission to call
special meetings for the purpose of
coming to an agreement as to
whether they shall send the children
of their district to school in the adj
joining one instead of paying 500 a
month to a teacher for the four or
FIVE children who will attend in their
community, The people who main
tain the schools do not object TO pay
ing that amount to satisfactory
teacher but do not want to decide on
one of whom they are uncertain and
pay her the same salary which would
go to an efficient Instructor. And 1t
has been found impossible to obtain
one for less money.
In several districts there are so
few children that the patrons Of the
schools feel 1t would be more practi-
cal to pay tuition and transportation
to the school in the adjoining division
than to pay the amout which they
are obliged to pay for teacher in

SEES FINANCIAL
RECOVERY BEGIN
Federal Reserve Board Finds
Evidences i'm Conditions
at~Centres.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Dehnite evil
dences of the beginning Of financial re-
cuperation following abnormal war con-
ditions were set forth to-day by the
Federal Reserve Board in a review of
the forthcoming February reserve
bulletin. These evidences are:
Increase of bank balances at financial
centres. tendency toward lower rates
for money. lessening of the amount Of
war paper held by Federal reserve and
member banks. inflow of gold coin and
gold certificates at banks, indicating
greater confidence in the financial s!,ua-
ton. lessenlng demand for money and
decline in the volume OF Federal reserve
notes outstanding. demonstrating the
elasticity OF the Federal reserve system.
The board deplored evidences OF re-
taxation of war time economics. saying
that Industries OF the United States
and other countries soon would need
quantities Of capital and that II be-
hooves Americans to continue TO be
thrifty and pile up reserves of credit.
Return Of active production nnd con-
sumption is being retarded" the board
observed, by high expenses Of produc-
ton"
Despite big exports Of foods and raw
materials in December the board be-
lieves I'VE are still facing the problem
of finding or making market for our
manufactured goods in foreign coun-
tries, in which we can hardly hope 70
make the desired success so long as
prices continue upon level higher than
that existing in other countries"
Those countries which first succeed
In readjusting their costs OF production
and restoring their industry to n normli
level of values" said the board will
be the most successful In developing
their exports and controlling tho mar
kets OF consuming nations the word
