If you haven't seen Wallace Reid in Excuse My Dust" the present attrac- ton at the Strand, you are overlooking one of the very best stories this dash ing star has yet brought to the screen. Primarily a story of automobile racing. the production follows closely on the heels of the first picture of this class he made. The Roaring Road. FIX cuse My Dust is the screen adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story, "The Bear Trap" and besides the won derful personality of Wallace Reid. such celebreties as Theodore Roberts, Fully Marshall and Ann Little are found in the supporting array.
 It is a picture of speed, action and innumerable thrills. Perhaps the greatest tension is reached during the race through the night on the course between Los Angeles and San Fran cisco, when Reid as "Toodles' is pitted against rival drivers of a competing concern. terrific smashup marks the course of the race, a smashup that for realism would be indeed to duplicate and a moment that for intense action and compelling suspense is indescrib- able

HOW CANADIAN PATIENTS GET
 THEIR LIQUOR

VICTORIA, B. C., May IS (by Asso- ciated Press) .-"Patients" in the hab- it of securing sufficient" quantities of liquor under the British Columhs prescription" system, will find their source of supply largely curtailed un- der the amended prohibition act, passed by the legislature March 19, and to which royal assent, making it effective. was given in the Assembly a few days ago.
 Under the amended act, physicians may only prescribe eight ounces Of government dispensed liquor instead of two quarts as heretofore. If more is deemed necessary, the physician must execute an affidavit that the liquor is for medicinal purposes only and that thorough examination of the patient had been made. Liquor may be imported without the province in accordance Witah federal statutes but must be delivered to the home of the purchaser and may not be re- moved therefrom unless the owmr is making a bona fide change of resi- dence. Prices of government dis pensed liquor have increased about 20 per cent since the first of the year.
 The 'man in the woods" has an ad- vantage over his city brother Being far removed from the source of sup ply, he may secure-through the prescription route-as much as two quarts. Anyone living more than five miles from a government dispensary or drug store may secure up to six teen ounces.
 Extracts may in the future be se- cured in four ounce quantities only, and one must be a householder to secure essences, extracts or similar ''kick" producers.

PARENTS ASK
 WHY TEACHERS
 ARE LEAVING

Only five of the 13 teachers em- ployed in the Ketchikan high and grade schools have signifed their in tention to teach here again next year.
 This fact was brought to light at a meeting of the Parent-Teachers' As sociation.
 The question as to why the teachers were leaving was raised by George Lingerfelt, who said he was sorry to s1e an efficient faculty, such as he believed the present teaching staff to be, broken up without just cause for such action being announced.
 Offered More in States
 For one thing" said Mr. Lingerfelt, ''the teachers here are not paid as much as they are offered in the states. As an employer of labor I know that it is impossible to secure efficient help unless we are willing to pay fair sal aries, and I, for one, am in favor of increasing the teachers salaries"
 Professor Knox, superintendent of tne Ketchikan schools, was asked why so many teachers were leaving this year.
 He stated that the school board did not know as yet just who were retir- had announced their intention to re- turn and some had said they would not return for the salaries. The Ques- tion of salaries, he said, seemed to be the principal cause of dissatisfac- t6on.
 Can't Pay Expenses
 Mrs. Walter Sharpe spoke in favor of increasing salaries. She praised the present faculty for it's efficiency, but said that she did not believe they were receiving high enough salaries to be able to pay expenses.
 Mrs. Floyd Ryus advised the parents to attend board meetings, in order that the board might have the benefit of public opinion.
 John Sjursen advised that a com , mittee be appointed to interview the city council to see if the annual school appropriation might not be increased sufficiently to permit an increase in salaries. He explained that while the salaries were fixed by the school board the money was appropriated by the city council.
 MT. Sjursen's proposal met with gen. era1 approval. Several suggested that the committee interview not only the council but the school board and teach CTS as we'll.
 A motion, made by A. Brindle, was then carried that the chair appoint a committee to confer with the school board, city council and teachers and attempt to settle whatever difficulties might be the cause of so many teach CTS leaving.
 Mrs M. S. Dobbs was the only mem Der of the school board to speak for it.-Ketchikan Chronicle

TUNIS FARM At BRENFORD
VISITED BY A $4,000 FIRE
STABLE AND TENANT HOUSES
ON FARM OF W. H. TUNIS. JR.
Dwelling Barely Saved by Use of
Chemicals by Fire Engine-COn-
fiagatiOn Grew Big Crowd

Fire Monday afternoon probably of
lncendiary origin destroyed the dou-
bic tenant houses, stables, the pack
ing house, sheds and cow stable of
William H. Tunis, Jr., on his farm
near BrenfOrd, known as the joseph
B. FAIRIES farm, entailing loss of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 on which
about fifth was covered by insur-
ance. The fire broke out between four
and five o'clock in the lower tenant
tenant house and quickly spread to
the sheds and hay rick and stables.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tunis were in the house
at the time and the men were in the
field. AS soon as the fire was discov-
cred, the alarm was sent to Smvrna
and Clayton and the fire companies of
both towns did effective work. The
Smyrna fire engine in a few minutes
time pumped the well dry. Had sufi-
cient water been available they could
have eXtinguished the flames in if
teen or twenty minutes. The result
was that chemicals had to be used al
most entirely and efforts were direct
ed to the residence and grainery each
of which caught fire several times
but were saved. Each of the tenant
houses were occupied by colored fam
lilies who escaped. The cows were all
In the pound at the time and but for
the rampage of his frightened bull
who broke the fence and let the cattle
out, they would have been burned to
death. Mr.. Tunis was able to get
the horses and implements out and
the timely arrival of neighbors and
the fire companies, helped save consi-
derable other stuff from the flames.
The tenant houses were but twenty
five feet from the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Tunis and favored by the
wind together with heroic work was
what saved it from total destruction.
The fire cut swath of $50 feet right
down the line to and including the
stable. The blaze which spread rap
dly, attracted attention and num-
Der from Smyrna, Clayton and Bren-
ford mOtored to the scene. Since pur-
chasing the farm from the estate of
Joseph B. FAIRIES of Smyrna, Mr..
runis had spent considerable money
n putting the property in a good
state of repair and there is much
for him over the loss he
las sustained. He will begin rebuild
ng at once.

The referendum vote Saturday af.
ternoon and evening on selecting a
site for DOver's new school buildings,
costing about $425,OOO, was attended
with considerable interest and the
voting was quite spirited. In addi
tlon to the two sites named on tn.
ballot, namely, "For Washington
street site," in the northern part of
Dover, and "for Harrington-W Wilson
Cross site" on Delaware avenue, run
ming to the creek, there appeared
third ballot on which the Washington
street site also read COR any other
site west of State street. This ballot.
while voted by many was counted for
the Washington street site as the
mark on the ballot indicated to the
judge of the election the Washington
street site as first mentioned. The
entire number of votes cast were 346,
the result of the vote being as follows
Washington street site, 159 votes.
HarringtOn-Cross-Wilson site, 176
votes. Scattered ballots showed four
votes for the Hayes Hill site, south
of Dover and opposite the Manlove
Hayes property and seven ballots ap-
peared reading as follows: Opposed
to all sites and the school code" Of
the BAG votes cast 25 were cast by
women voters who are property own
ers. The polls opened at o'clock
and the voting continued until p. M.
The local board will undoubtedly be
guided by the majority vote cast for
he Observation-Disclosures site.

rate, he declared, payment on the

OF so years, with an annual interest
payment of $547,8OO.

was accumulated last year. He ac-

that if necessary the income tax per
