MILFORD NEVIS

The expected happened Wednesday evening when $50 Odd Fellows as- semb4ed at the town hall under a special disDensation and watched the working of the first degree by the staff of Samuel Harris lodge of Bridgeport. It is said by three link men of long experience that they have never seen the beautiful story of friendship taught by the degree pre- scented in such an impressive man ner. The staff was assisted by an orchestra which rendered effective numbers at appropriate stages, and in every particular the work was ffawless. Grand Master Meyers of Bridgeport and Grand Secretary Hutchinson of New Haven, were pres ent and made addresses at the close of the ritualistic exercises. A buffet lunch concluded the program.
 The 'ekid party" of the high school seniors will take place this Friday afternoon instead of Saturday after noon as heretofore mentioned.

 The Mclaughlin cafe building, which has been idle for several years on account of the disappearance of the liquor business is to be revived by a New York man as a tailor shop. Not a shovel of coal of any kind'' was the word given by Edgar T. Clark last evening and it is under stood that MT. Green is also in the same unhappy predicament. This condition is said to be practically unique as far as the memory of the present generation goes. Shippers will l not even start cars until the embargo ! is lifted.
 Inquiry regarding the work of the 1 committee appointed by the business | mems association to consider the pos sibilfty of the purchase by the town i for parking purposes of the old sa loon property in Daniel street. l brought the information that only 1 preliminary steps have been taken. | but the impression was received that 1 the deal is practically off on account l of prohibitive prices, although fur
 ther negotiations may prove to the
 contrary.

New Ice Plant Starts Operation

The Old Dominion creamery this
week started manufacturing ice in
its new plant, the installation Of
which was completed last week The
new ice factory has a capacity of
tons per day, and is the direct eX-
pansion ammonia process.
1t now requires 2 tons of ice a
day for creamery use, and the bal
ance of the capacity is at present
used in the cold storage department,
which has been completely equipped
for handling butter and eggs and
for hardening and storing ice cream
and dairy products. Should occasion
arise for greater zee production, tho
ton capacity now used for cold
storage may be switched onto ice
production and additional units in,
stalled for cold storage purposes.
The ice is made in 100-pound cubes,
and it is expected that ice will be
delivered to city customers this year
at cent a pound, with a rate {
cents per 100 where no delivery is
required. The ice is made from
the city water and will therefore be
absolutely pure.
The ice cream department of the
creamery will begin its seasons

THE TEACHER SITUATION
AS VIEWED BY TEACHERS
An Interview With Some of the
Teachers of the COlville High
School System

An educational and social emer-
gency faces the citizens Of Colville
as well as those of every other COM
munity in our country. This emer-
gency is putting our democracy for
which we fought to save and per-
petuate on trial. The present gem
Grafton of citizens can al best make
only temporary settlements in the
solution of the problem, which will
serve as experiments. The real
solution will inevitably rest upon the
boys and girls now in our public
schools. Upon the training of these
boys and girls more than anything
else hangs the future of our democ-
racy if not civilization itself.
1t is exceedingly doubtful if as
heavy a responsibility ever rested
upon any class in society as upon
our teachers in the next decade. And
yet we will all have to con-
fess that the teaching profession
is woefully unprepared for this task.
According to the United States COM
missioner of education, over lOO,-
900 positions in our public schools
today are either vacant or are filed
by teachers who cannot pass the
minimum tests for teachers certifi-
Gates. Strong teachers are leaving
because of inadequate pay: Respon-
sible positions are being filled by
young, immature, and unframed men
and women. The freshman classes
at our colleges and universities are
overfowing, and at the same time
the enrollments of the teachers train
ing departments Of the same colleges
and universities and in our normal
schools, have fallen off 50%. 1t is
high time that those teachers who
have remained in the work, and the
public as we'll, should give serious
consideration to this problem. The
school boards alone without the back

Stevens county residents who sor-

doesn't injure water to be frozen,
and it does not spoil honey to let it
granulate.
Professor Scullen, the bee special
list, says retail buyers of honey need
not hesitate to purchase extracted
honey which shows tendency to
granulation, since granulation in hon
ey is evidence that it is pure. Adul-
terated honey is less apt to granu-
late.
The readiness with which honey
granulates depends on the source OF
the nectar. Honey from some plants,
for example, the white sage of Cali
fornia, seldom if ever, granulates,
while honey from alfalfa and sweet
clover granulates readily. The ten
dency to granulate is determined by
the relative amount present of the
two principal sugars in honey, dex-
trose (glucose), and levulose (fruc-
tose). When the former predomn-
ates honey granulates readily, but
when the latter predominates honey
shows little tendency to granulate.
Store honey in warm place and

operations next week. The demand
for Old Dominion ice cream has
reached such a stage that a new
equipment became necessary, and
now the very latest thing in improv-
ed ice cream machinery is ready for
operation here. The freezer itself
cost $1,000, feature of its construc
ton being a silver lining which alb
solutely prevents any rust. The
freezer has a capacity Of 10 gallons
every Is minutes, and all the ar
rangements and equipment for cream
making and handling have been made
with the idea Of absolute purity and
sanitation. Brick and bulk ice cream
will be made and distributed through
out the season, most of the ice cream
retailers of this part of the county
handling the Old Dominion product,
An interesting feature in the oper-
alton of the Old Dominion is the re-
tail distribution of sweet milk and
cream, and single and double butter
milk The sale of buttermilk has
reached immense proportions, the
string of buttermilk pals being no.
ticeable as it wends it way daily in
and out of the creamery. Butter
milk is sold at 10 cents a gallon, and
double buttermilk at 20 cents.

FIRST MEETING
OF PARK BOARD
OFFICIAL ORGANIZATION Eff
FECTED AND PLANS LAID
FOR SUMMER WORK
Much Work in Sight for Year in
Outlining and Recommending
Plans for improvements

The first meeting of the Colville
Park board was held Tuesday eve
ming in the Hickey block. w. L.,
Sax, former mayor of the city, wa
elected chairman, and J. c. Harrigan,
secretary-treasurer.
The formation of a Colville Park
board was authorized by the city
council last summer, and in Ordi-
nance No. 1870, approved Sep. l8, the
powers and duties of the board were
prescribed.
By appointment by Mayor v
Hartwell, confirmed by the council,
the following citizens were named
on the park board at that time: J.
c. Harrigan, 5 years; w. l.. Sax, a
years; w. A. Acorn, 9 years; Mrs.
NJ. R. Strong, years; Mrs. F. b.
Goetter, l year.
At the organization meeting, those
present were Messrs. Sax, Harrigan
and Acorn. The official name Of
the board was fixed as the Colville
Park Board, officers to be a chair
man and a secretary to
be elected at the first meeting in
each year. Regular meetings are
fixed for the first and third Tuesday
evenings of each month or at the call
of the chairman.
The present work of the board was
discussed, and preliminary division
of responsibility was fixed as follows:
w. L. Sax, residence streets, walks,
trees; W. A. Acorn, proposed paw
ing on Oak, Beach, Astor and First;
J. c. Harrigan, city park.
The next meeting of the board
will be next Tuesday evening.
According to plans adopted at
meeting last summer, the Colvile
Park Association is an organization
of all citizens of Colville who are in
terested in public improvements, Ths
organization will be maintained, and
at the first meeting of the full asso-
citation to be called this year,
president will be chosen to succeed
J. C. Harrigan, who was elected last
summer. The association will be the
medium for public expression u
discussion, and possibly for the rails
ing of any funds that may be de-
sired for special purposes, and
be an advisory body working in con-
junction with the official park board,

Greater Incentive to instructors

ing Of the public generally cannot
meet the situation.
The reason for the shortage Of
teachers and inefficiency in the work
is evident The salaries are made
quate Other callings and profess
sions have more nearly kept pace
in salaries offered with the increased
cost of living. Consequently teach
ers are constantly being forced to
lower their standard Of living, with
resulting lower standard of efficiency
because they cannot meet the higher
demands for rent, food, clothing,
books, etc Sometimes in endeavor-
ing to meet current expenses teach
ers have been compelled to economize
to the extent that the school work
suffers.
The cost of living has more than
doubled in the past three years,
while the increase in teachers sal
aries during the same time has been
but 12H. Consequently many teach
ers have not been able to make a
living by teaching and they have
dropped out. Indeed salaries have
been less than a great many of the
unskilled laborers whose preparation
is very much shorter, and whose cX
penses for professional upkeep are
very much less. When teachers
drop out they usually receive more
than the unskilled laborers.
1t should be said that the teachers
of the Colville school system are
not complaining Of their treatment
in Colville. On the contrary, our
teachers with exception have enjoy
ed the work. they aEe satisfied. A
condition has arisen in the past few
years which makes it necessary that
there be a readiustment Of salaries.
With the view of placing the situa-
ton before the public the teachers are
making "a study of the problems in
volved and will give the results Of
their finding later Nothing un-
reasonable will be asked; the finan
cial problem of the district is under
stood. But to seek a position else
where without taking the community
into their confidence and frankly
stating their position would be
cOWardice.

it will keep in a liquid state much
longer. Never keep it in a re-
frigeratof. However, when it gran
ulates all that is necessary to bring
it back to liquid state is to warm it
in water heated to 100 degrees. Care
should be taken not to get it too hot.
