School teachers and their devious way
of signing up for school and then GO
ing out on hunt for a better job came
in for some strong remarks this morn
ing. The present law provides that a
teacher may break contract within 30
days Of the time his or her school is to
begin, but the school district is tied
as soon as the contract is signed. As
a result, many districts find the teacher
that had signed up had got better
job and at the last moment, the district
was taking any teacher in sight.
To remedy this one sided affair, Mr..
Dodd introduced a bill wherein the
school teacher could not break a con-
tract within 80 days Of the date set for
the beginning of school. 1t was init
mated that Mr.. Churchill was opposed
to the 90-day limit and that on his rec
ommendation, the committee in charge
of the bill recommended that the bill
providing for the 80 day be not passed,
1t just happens that in the house are
dozen men who are serving on school
boards and have all suffered from the
one sided contract. Hence the report
of the committee as opposed to the 90
day limit met with no favor. The bill
was referred and will come out of the
committee with the recommendation
that teachers be not allowed to break
their contracts within 60 days of the
beginning Of their school.

and possibly later in public speeches in
various parts of the country. The first
difficulties in formation of the league
have been overcome through general ac
quiescence in its broad principles but
the real test of it's success will be in
the reports of the committees which
are handling actual formation and ap-
plication Of these principles. Despite
recent indications that Wilson might
not find it necessary to make a second
trip to Paris, it was learned today that
there is a possibility he will desire to
return and personally see that there is
no miscarriage of his ideas, particularly
as regards the league of ntions.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARY.

The reciprocity treaty between Great Britain and the United States, negotiated by Lord Elgin, re gulating the relation between Canada and the United States in regard to trade, fish cries. etc., was concluded sixty-f1ve years ago today. It was notable as being the first of such treaties in voHfng a modification of regular tartn rates, into which the United States entered. This treaty remained in effect until 1866 when it was ter mirated by the United States. Hop kins, in his history of Canada, points out that this treaty, was ''the one diplomatic development in the history of British Americans where Canadian interests were fully and adequately guarded.' The abrogatfon of the treaty by the United States was largely due to anti British feelings on tho part. of soma Of tho peopls.

THE FITTCH OF BACON.

The first modern revival of the celebrated English i'fitch of bacon custom took place 21S years ago to- day. June ', 1701, when William Pareley, O. butcher of Much Easton, and his spouse appeared in court at Dunmow, and, having convinced the jury of five old maids a. space of not quarrelled within a space of three years, and were in the enjoy ment of a perfect state of connubial or 'gaInmon" of bacon.
 Tho Dunmow custom, thus re- vived, had its be ginning in the mid de ages. when the jolly celibate monks of Dunmow -Priory offered to couple who, after a twelve month of matrimony, came forward and made oath at Dunmow that they had never had a quarrel, never regretted their marriage and would do it over again if they had the opportunity. So far as the records show, only three flitches of bacon were awarded by the Dunmow monks.
 After the suppression of religious establShm ents the offer was with drawn, but in 17O1 it was revived and William Parsley and his wife r,-oved to the satisfaction of the spinster jury their right to the prize. Since then there have been many notable ceremonies at Dunmow, when couples enjoying the highest de- gree of matrimonial felicity have been acclaimed by the multitudes not so blessed by Hymen.

'.NO POPERY, UPRISINGS.

Religious intolerance has been re- spolsible for many of the worst out breaks of which history has any rec ord and often led to physical violence as well as to wars between nations. The St Bartholomew massacre in Paris stands as the classic example of Catholic hatred of Protestants, but the latter have been equally guilty in per scouting the adherents of the Roman church This day, the seventh of June. will ever be memorable in the history of London as the anniversary of the ''No-Popery'' riots.
 London 139 years ago today -s almost in complete control of mobs composed of the lowest of the popu- lace, who, fired by Protestant zeal. burned and pillaged and destroyed the homes and other property of Catholics. Thirty-six great confa gra- tions ragged that night in London. Throughout the day and night the mob worked it's fendish will almost unchecked by the military. On the following day the city at last awoke, and the soldiers suppressed the riot and killed 210 of the rioters. while hundreds of others were founded.
 The "No-Popery" riots resulted d from the crusade of a political or ganization of Protestants. A proposa
 
 for the removal of some of the politi- cal disabilities imposed on Catholics fin England led to the organization of a Protestant Society, headed by Lord George Gordon. a member of Parlia- fnent. Monster petitions were circu- lated, and Lord George, by his wild speeches. aroused the populace to a frenzy. The streets were filled with an uncontrolled mob. All the shops -I persed in terror. Protestants chalked on their doors NO Popery," in order to escape the attention of the rioters. Grfmaldf. the Italian actor than 1iv- ing in London. posted on his door a sign reading NO Religion"
 Lord George Gordon, the leader of the Protestant Society, was tried for high treason. but was acquitted on the ground of insanity. Lord Georges ancestors had all been Catholics.

THE WEDDING MONTH.

June from time immemoria1 has been regarded as suspicious for we'd dings. Marriages of the quiet home wedding kind may be nearly as ire Quent at other times of the year. But the girl who wants to do the thing up with all the fxin's, finds that the abundance of flowers of year solves many decoration problems. Nature tecomes the florist, and no fancy prices have to be paid for blos- soms.
 The symphony of love demands a stunning climax, with all the para phernalia of flower girls, ribbon bearers, bridesmaids, color schemes, march players, and goodness knows what. To the masculine mind, they all look about alike.
 But the discriminating feminine observer finds them full f infinite and interesting variations, all having more or less significance, with the usual conclusion that the last we'd ding attended was the prettiest.
 The masculine elements looks upon these doings with a mixture Of amused tolerance and bored indif- ference. Father-in-law gently hints to the prospective bridegroom that an SIOpeHleHL SOiVtS ltldHy pIODlSIflS, anu informs him that for a flyer a re- spected clergyman ever in the next city will perform the ceremony with perfect regularity and good form and no expense. The bridegroom as- sents heartily, but regretfully admits that he has no voice in the proceed ings which are preordained by the higher powers.
 The glorified wedding may serve purpose as a suggestion of the su- preme dignity of matrimony Any way the microbe of romance is said to be busy such occasions. The results of the infection are common ly observable by another season. The June bride is worthy of all her honors. The well being of the race is built on her womanhood. The Times-Farmer takes off its hat to her, with respectful difference and hest wishes.

GOOD JOBS IN CIVIL SERVICE.

ANOTHER GERMAN SECRET.

London, June 7.-The secret of an- other German key industry has been discovered, the manufacture of arti- ficial mother-of-pe pearl. J. w. H. Dew a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, found the process after much patent experimenting.
 Dr. Dew was engaged during the whole period of the war in recon structing, step by step, the method of manufacture.
 Artificial pearl is used for making fancy buttons, dress trim mings and many other articles. Be- fore the war most of it came from Germany
