ernment to assist us I'm reorganiz-
ing the domestic science department
at the High School. The depart
ment will now be reorganlzed under
the recent law passed by Congress
known as the smith-Hughes Voca-
tional Education Law Under this
law the federal and state govern
ments pay back to our school dis
trlct two thirds OF the salaries of
teachers engaged in this work. One
teacher will be employed on full
time and another on half time. The
combined salaries OF the two teach
ers will approximate S220O.00
Since two thirds OF this amount, or
S146G.67 will be refunded to US,
the net outlay so far as our
school is concerned will be
only s733.33 for teachers sal
aries. Since the salary of our pres
ent domestic science teacher Is
S1260.00 per year, the new plan will
mean n net saving OF S466.G7 The
school board Is. pleased to know that
they can get the advantage of this
now work and save money on the
deal at the same. time. our agri-
culture department is already or
ganlzed under this same law. We

which it was organized and thinking
that it was impossible under present
conditions to revive the body, the d.

present.
All bills against the body were ad-
vertised for and paid The only prop

r. Campbell, United States Army, told
a House investigating committee Fri

he had been paid $4,000 to aid in OBJ
tanning freedom for Grover C. Bergdoll

declared that the sum sent to the
brokers was his own money, hidden
by his wife at her home since the
early days of the war.
The Major, called here without op-
portunity to examine the charges
against him, first declined to testify
at this time as to the source of the
funds. But pressed hard by the COM
mittee. told of the hidden treasure, and
moment later related in detail how
a $500 investment, placed with the late
Milton Young, Lexington, KY, before

was this same sum, he said, that was
hidden away and later shifted to Wall

change with a committee Major
Campbell broke in, declaring:
"Oh hell, it was my father"
At this point the committee decided
to call the father, William r. Camp
bell, Lexington, who was asked to
come here at once.

extended visit to the old home, rela-
tives and friends, was at our friend
Thomas Brooks home near Blue Licks
a few days ago when the T. DIS snake
stories among other topics were dis
cussed, which called to mind to Mr..
Brooks that he had an experience re-
Gently with black snake which he
killed. The snake measured about six
feet in length and had two large
swoolen places on its body that at
tracted attention. Dismembering his
snakeship two artificial hen eggs
were found which the snake had
doubtless swallowed in making its
rounds of the neighboring hens nests,
and which proved to be indigestible,-
