Died.-A few minutes after the cleo
tion polls were opened on the morning
of Nov 4, 1870 the Peoples Ticket"
1t was only born two weeks since, and
had but a few friends during its short
life, who nurtured and nursed it with
care, hoping that it might grow in pro-
portion to their anticipations. Many
of its advocates believed it would ego
through" like lightning, and win if it
was only started. The start was given,
it went, as the result will show, to the
devil, and carried along with it the
political death of many an sold wheel
horse" Poor thing, it suffered little,
and its death was quick But such is
life, today, full of hope and health; to-
morrow, busted"

School Boards

A number of changes have been made
in school board offices since August.
There is still time to insert the name
and address of the new officer in the
new Annual if the clerk sends in the
information at once.
While it is necessary that schools be
furnished with sufficient books so
children will be able to do good work,
it will be best for the school boards
not to make any changes in text books
in schools this year unless asked to do
so from this office. The Board of
Education is determined to select the
best books available and it will be wise
to wait until the recommended list is
out before changes are made.
A few school board members left
the convention without leaving their
enrolment blanks and receiving a sig
ed certificate of attendance. 1t is not
legal for any treasurer to pay out
money for attendance at the conven-
ton without the certificate. These
certificates will be mailed upon request
if your enrolment blank was left here
or il il is sent to us.
A few things about the school prem
ises should be looked after by the
school board members and teachers
without special notices from this office
Is the clock in working Order2 is
there supply of soap, paper towels,
toilet paper, and sweeping compound
in the schools? Is each outbuldinp
furnished with lock and key and is il

SCHOOL GROWTH
 IS PHENOMENA One High School Per Day Built During Past Twenty
 Eight Years
By Associated Press

Washington, September 20.-New high schools have been added to the Ameri- can education system at the rate of at least one a day during the last twenty eight years.
 Statistics compiled by the federal bu-
 reau of educati show that there are now more than 17,000 such schools, an increase of 452 per cent over the num-
 per In lS90. Attendance figures from
 l4,oO0 of the schools give a total of
 l,735,619 scholars, indicating in effect
 that one-tenth of the population is get
 ting high school educations, the bureau
 states.
 Only 652 of the schools reporting to
 the bureau enroll 500 students each and
 PTS enroll over 1000, while one-half of
 the 13,951 schools tabulated have an en- rollment of between 27 and 100 stu dents. City high schools constitute less than 10 per cent of the total. They en- roll 52 per cent of all students All
 most S5 per cent of the high schools are rural, with 40 per cent of the stu dents.
 As 65 per cent of the schools offer ing a four-year course have terms of only 1S0 days during the year, longer school term is "unmistakably foresha- dowed" according to bureau officials IHe ScnOOlS cost thousands Of dollars to erect and to utilize the property fo1 only 1S0 days a year is bad judgment the statement said.
 | The number of high school graduates has increased from 21,SS2 in 1890 to PA, 367 in 1918. Considering the increase In population during this period, it is found that American youths are be- | coming over six times as we'll edu- cated as they were.
 | The state of Texas leads in percent age of high school graduates who con
 tinue their studies in preparatory school 1 or college. North Carolina and Ken l lucky are second and third respec- l lively.
 | The average high school principal, the | statistics show receives $1,272 a year 1 or about $100 month for the ,entire | year. Principals of the District o1 i Columbia, California. Arizona. Massa- l chusetts and New York receive the highest salaries in the order named while Nebraska pays the lowest aver l age salary.
 1 In 1918 there were S1,o34 high schoo l teachers as compared with 9,120 il l 1890. Since 1902 there has been { steady increase of women entering tn, profession and today only 34 per cen 1 of all high school teachers are men.

AIRPLANE INTEREST IS CENTRED IN BENNETT
 TROPHY IN FRANCE

Thousands of former United States army and navy airplane pilots and ob- servers are intensely interested in the
 Gordon Bennett trophy race that is to be held in France this month. They are optimistic that America will have the fastest plane in competition with the
 speediest machines that can be turned out by European aircraft manufacturers. One of Americas entries is the r"ono- plane built especially by the Curtis Com pany for s. E. J. Cox of Houston, Texas, which will fly the colors of the Aero Club of Texas. It has been named The Texas Wild Cat"
 But nineteen feet long and having a
 wing spread of only twenty-five feet
 the plane with it's full load of 2,20O pounds has been driven 1S3 miles an hour by it's twelve cylinder 400 horsepower motor. This is about twenty miles an hour faster than any previous American record. With smaller wings. which are to be used in the race. it is expected that good speed of POO miles an houi will be reached. The plane is equipped
 with Goodyear airplane tires for landing at high speed.
 The wild Cat will be piloted by Ro-
 land Rohlfs, former holder of the world s
 altitude record, while Clarence Coombs, a former army pilot, will be his alter nate

Slave Labor In Free Russia

From the Nations BuSlneSS.
 Russia, hailed as the country where the worker was to be really free, has come to what is practically slavery. With the downfall of Russian indus try, which began with the idyllic days of workers control" of factories has come an insistence on the rule that all human effort is the property of the state. These are the conditions dis closed by the preliminary study ot labor conditions in soviet Russia made by the international labor office of the League of Nations.
 At the outset. Lenine and Trotzky said to the workers. in effect: You do the work. Without you there woud be no production. Therefore the factories are yours. Take them and run them. Sell what you produce and keep the money. Goodbye, good luck and God bless you."
 Simple enough when one comes to think of it. The great trouble with it Is that it didn't seem to work. Work CTS control and standardization meant just one thing to the workers. and that was the possession of the factory by the workers. Chaos followed and ev- anywhere there were conflicts.
 Sevputhoff, director of Textile h. dustries, is quoted as saying: The workmen were unable to understand anything except that the revolution gave them the right to do as they pleased. The output went down to forty per cent and chaos in the gov ernment ensued"

today it has received no list of resi-
 dents of Birmingham for addition to
 the formal report of Birmingham
 population made some months ago.
 The bureau has information that such list containing between 5000 and
 1000 names had been prepared. If it has been mailed, however it has mis- carried.
 To make certain the bureau this afternoon wired Birmingham author lities. If Birmingham is serious in its fight for justice respecting it's popu- lation, it is warned by the bureau to act immediately, as any delay might
 make it impossible for corrections to be made.
