Another Improvement.

W. A. Ruffcorn. who recently pur-
chased from Cosgriff Bros. the so acres
of land on the east side of the river,
adjoining the TOWNSHIP on the north, ar
rived here last eek and expects to
remain. He expects to at once clear
the land, which will be put in crops
next spring. and is having repairs and
changes made on the residence and 9TH
err buildings on the place, with the idea
Of making it his permanent home, The
improvement of this tract will I've of
great benefit to Saratoga. inasmuch as
the barren flat on the east side has Civ
en II very poor impression of the town
to strangers coming in from the north.
If Mr.. Ruffcorn's present plans are re-
allied this land will present a very diff
ferent appearance within another year
or two.

Generally speaking, the
public school is the biggest
business institution in the
average small town. It has
the greatest number of en-
ployed and comes into init
mate contact with nearly
every home in the community.
No business house can boast
of so large a patronage, nor
feel the consciousness of such
absolute permanency.
And yet, with all these
claims to establish the bust
ness-like nature of our public
school, it remains certain that
unless business methods are
used in it's administration it is
useless to solicit the conf
dence and undivided interest
of the public. With this in
view the Board of Directors
of the McCrory Public Schools
has authorized the issuance OF
a manual, which shows a de-
termination on their part to
place our schools in rank
with the foremost schools in
the state in towns of like size.

TO ENFORCE
 PEACE DENIES SPLIT
 OVER PARIS COVENANT

New York, March 18.-The Lea que to enforce peace, of which Will jam H. Taft, is president, issued a statement tonight denying that the organization is split by serious diff ferences of opinions among officers and members over it's endorsement of the Paris covenant of the league of nations.
 Since the league announced it's endorsement" the statement declared "only right members have sreigned out of total list of 300,000."
 Only three of these are officers None of the leagues 1900 volunteers speakers or 5000 clergymen all over the country has withdrawn his pledge to work under the leagues direction it was asserted.
 "Mr. Taft's attitude, which is sub statement said, "is that he would ac cept the Paris covenant as it stand. and thank God for it; that it does not however, fully meet his ideals, moi being as strong in some respects a: the plan we have been advocating that he would like to see amendment. that would strengthen it and think! it wise to make changes that vii make still more clear the meaning which we understand it to carry. H' ] is also favorable to making changes that will placate opinion, especially il 1 the direction of definite acceptance of the Monroe Doctrine, which WI understand is already the real basi of the instrument.
 Neither Mr. Taft nor the league however, favors amendments afte the treaty is finally adopted in Pari as amendment would then probabl, mean defeat of the league"
