Minus One

The school board met Monday
night, all members present, and
wiped the slate clean of its act
ion some time ago in the particu-
lar of teachers. The resembling
of the order naming the old corps
of teachers except one was fol.
lowed Immediately by motion
by Mr.. West, board member, to
name the teachers appointed
some time ago except Miss Pot
ter. The motion carried and
thereupon the president of the
board wrote his resignation and
handed it in for action. The
board refused to accept the resig-
nation last night nor was there
any further action in the matter
of teachers. Il is understood
that there are now three to ap-
point in the pl ices held this term
by Misses Potter and Bartz and
Mr.. Baker. Just what the board
will do with the proffered resig-
nation of the president who de-
clined to serve longer after Miss
Potter was dropped. it is said, is
problematical. 1t came to the
time when either Miss Potter or
supt. Davis or neither had to be
named and since the president of
the board was understood to be
an uncompromising partisan of
Prof. Davis, his tender, of resig-
nation was no little surprise and
less understood.

PRINTERS ON A STRIKE
Thousands Went Out Monday
Newspapers and Job Plants
Are Forced to Suspend.

Thousands of printers went on
a strike Monday to fight for a A
hour week at the present wages.
As a result newspapers in many
places were forced to suspend
edition. Job printing shops were
hit the hardest. Leaders of che
International Typographical Un-
ion declared a contract signed by
their employers in 1919 would
put IA hour week and an in
creased scale into effect.
The strike was especially not
ticeable in the East but extended
through the West and south to
the Pacific coast.
Then to add to the newspaper
mems trouble the paper mill
workers went on a strike at the
same time and insisted upon an
increase in wages while employ.
ers were insisting upon a de-
crease. 100000 men were
thrown out of work.

came to Kansas City the first of
this week to bring his daughter
Miss Marywillie to a hospital for
treatment. The young woman
has been in bad health for some
time and it was promised that
she would be greatly benefited
if she would come to the hospital.
Considerable expense for a hard
laooring man but Mr.. Zeimer
had saved for the purpose of do
Ing whatever he could for the
benefit of his only child. After
placing his daughter in the hos.
pital and paying charges, leav-
ing her some extra mon ay for in
cidental expenses, the old citizen
Of this city repaired to union sta

his pocset for his purse and it
was gone. Search about the
station failed to recoverit it. Rath-

The following poem, written in
1920 by Sara Feasdale of ST. Louis,
won the "Brookes More Prize" 5000
in cash:
A delicate fabric of bird song
Floats in the air.
The smell of wet wild earth !
Is everywhere.
Red small leaves of the maple
Are clenched like hand.
Like girls at their first communion,
The pear trees stand.
Oh, 1 must pass nothing by
Without loving it much
The raindrop try with my lips,
The grass with my touch;
For how can | be sure
| shall see again
The world on the 1st Of May
Shining after the rain?

n. c. S. HIGHWAY MEET
Large Crowds Were Present.
Much Enthusiasm Over Pros
poets of N. C. S. H: Route.

]. W.. Taylor from this city
and legislative committeeman
from this county, Hon. F. c.
Sasse of Brunswick attended the
big meeting of boosters of North
Cross State Highway at Mexico
Tuesday. Mr.. Taylor says that
the counties from Clay to ST.
Charles were represented and
that prospects for obtaining the
road on the route designated
above were unbounded. An adj
dress by one of the members cf
the Legislature, Mr.. Hostetter,
who was one of the number who
went to several states to make
personal inspection of hard sur
face road building and the NAH
ner of financing such roads, was
the most enlightening of any at
the meeting tho Mr.. Taylor says
that there were a number of ad-
dresses direct to the point and
always a good one in favor OF n.
lC. S. H.
AS we told our readers some
time ago. unless the funds and
supervision of the building of
the road are in the hands of
state authorities, the thirty five
millions of dollars appropriated
by the government will be with
held. Then too, adequate means
for maintenance must be pro-
vided or the government cash
will not be forthcoming and
there is at present, no way to
acquire the money to pay inter
est on bonds and for maintain
ance Of the road as built except
|rby taxing property owners in tss
state. Submitting to voters an
amendment TO amendment num-
ber six would settle the matter
if the majority favored the in.
lterest and maintenance charges
being taken out Of the funds de-
rived from car and truck licenses
otherwise the amounts necessary
for these purposes will have to
be raised by direct tax on proper
ty.
The scheme to prorate the six
ty millions between counties
evaporated completely when the
numberless reasons against it
were shown and the purpose of
submitting the 9th amendment
to referendum vote has also been
held to be cut of the question.
The 9th amendment is a fixture
and if not qualified by anamend-
ment to it, there will be a chorus
|of Il didn't understand it that
way" when taxpaying time rolls
round again and supporters as
well as opponents have to dig up.
