COUNTY SCHOOL INSTITUTE

The County Institute for teachers,
which was held in the Salem High
School, last Friday and Saturday, was
attended by all the teachers of the
County. Attendance at the Friday
sessions wa compulsory but it was
optional at the Saturday meetings.
The records filed in the County Super
intendent's office indicate that there
was a surprisingly small number who
failed to be in attendance at every
session on both DAYS.
County Superintendent Dixon at
tributes the exceptionally good at
tendance to two thlngs-the earnest
ness of the teachers and the quality
of the program. There probably
never was a time in the history of the
schools when teachers we've more
eager than they are now to improve
themselves in service. More of them
than ever were the past summer i'll
Summer schools where they were re-
newed in the spirit of the work. Their
increased zeal was manifest at the
institute. The program was of a high
order also. The general addresses by
State Commissioner Enright, DR..
Myers and LII. RANGES n. OrceH,
gave character to the sessions and
the instructors in the various sec
tional meetings were very practical in
their presentation.
The music in charge of Mr.. Stan
ton was a pleasing feature, and the
lunch served by the Domestic Science
Department of the Salem High School
was duly appreciated.
The Institute was an enthusiastic
and helpful one.

ANIMAL PESTS WORRY FARMERS



Practically every farm is overrun at
times by pests of n kin or another.
Farmers, therefore, find it necessary
to kill such pests in order to prevent
them from injuring their property or
crops. Some he destroys by poison;
others he eliminates by employing
traps.
"A knowledge of the traits and
habits of the animals" says Ned
Dearborn, in a bulletin of the Bureau
of Biological Survey, "and of proved
methods of capturing them is impor-
tant if the farmer is to combat them
successfully. Besides such O~ut-and-out
pests as rats, mice and pocket goph-
/ ers. some other animals are OCCASION
| ally harmless, but, having valuable
! skins and being classed as fur bearers,
are given special consideration.
The lively demand for all kinds OF
fur puts into pockets of American
trappers millions of dollars a year,
which. until the harvest, has not cost
them d single effort. Moreover, sew
eraI of the furry tenants of the farmer
not only are not pests but are usetul
while alive. Foxes, for example, de
stroy many rabbits and mice, both OF
which when abundant, are very de-
structive to fruit trees and crops.
Skunks are exceedingly beneficial, Tor
they feed almost entirely on mice
r~rasShOppers. crickets, white grubS,
and other farm pests. 1t is only IN
exceptional cases that either foxes or
-kunkS attack poultry; 1t IS faf better

Holds Husband Responsible

Lansing, Mich, October 3.-The
Michigan Supreme Court laid down to-
day the rule that a husband is master
in his own home and is guilty of law
violation if his wife, with his knowl-
edge, transacts illegal business in the
home.
The decision was given in affirming
a lower court verdict convicting John
Sydisloo, of Berrien County, OF vlo-
lating the prohibition law. Testimony
was introduced to show that his wife
purchased a still, installed it in the
basement of the home and sold the
liquor. a..
The Supreme Court, in ruling that
Sydisloo was properly held as a de-
PENDANT in the case, declared that the
husband is the head of the family and
has the right at common law to regu,,
late his household, its expenses and
visitors, and to exercise the general
control of the family management"

MAY CAUSE EMBARRASSMENT
Declaration Of Peace Would Mean the
Prompt Withdrawal of Our Troops
From the Soil Of Germany.

Washington. Allied occupation Of
additional German territory is under
stood to have presented to President
Harding a new problem arising from
a relation of these changed conditions
to previous plans for early declara-
tion by congress of the ending of the
state of war between the United
States and Germany.
Some congressional leaders, who,
all along, have been for peace reso'
luton, still think that solution should
be applied as soon as possible. 9th
er leaders, however, fear that it would
cause embarrassment to the nations
with which the United States was as.
sociated in the war and should be de-
ferred until the situation in Germany
had clarified itself.
President Harding is represented
as having approached his study Of
the question with the view that the
United States should exercise caution
in whatever steps it determines to
take in order that there should be no
complications of the already difficult
situation faced by the allies. In line
with this viewpoint, attention has
been called that American troops are
in Germany as war measure. Ter
mination of the war, it is argued,
would automatically require with
drawal.

Election VIII Go Down In History as
a Momentous Event in Adjustment

Berlin.-Germany won an over
whelming victory in pleblscite held
in Upper Silesia to determine the fu-
ture national status of that region, ac'
cordlng to official returns received
here. Two districts were still missing
at 8 o'clock the moring after but the
count showed that $4,000 votes hau
been cast for Germany and 5S9,oOc
for Poland.
Reports from Breslau state that the
plebiscite was generally without un'
toward incidents.
Palm Sunday, the day OF the voting
in upper Silesia. seems likely TO go
down in history as one of the most
momentous days in the adjustment OF
European boundaries growing out OF
the world war. The day had been
looked forward to with intense inter
est by all Germany and Poland as
well, while evidences Of Worldwide
attention upon the balloting were not
lacking in advices from abroad.
The area involved, comprising some
five thousand square miles, was the
largest section of territory to have
its fate submitted to plebiscite IN

portant than the size of the district
was the material wealth contained in
its varied mineral resources, mainly

HOOVER TO HEAD INNOVATION
American Business Men Are to Be
Modified Through Their Respec.

Washington. - President Harding
has approved a course of action that
may mean more to the prosperity OF
America - its business revival ana
permanent development - than any
thing else that has happened since
the close of the European war.
American business men are to be
mobilized through their respective
trades and industries.
The United States government is
again to render a measure of coop
Grafton with private business which
made possible during the war the
building up of huge export trade
but which since then has been al
lowed to lapse.
Thorough discussion by President
Harding and his cabinet OF plans
which will be largely in the hands OF
Herbert Hoover, secretary OF COM
merce, has led to the conviction that
America must have foreign markets
as the way out of her industrial and
agricultural depression and that the
American government must adopt
somewhat the same attitude OF help
fulness toward private business as
European governments are adopting

Policy ON Beer In Doubt.

Predictions are made by several
prohibition members that the future
policy of congress will depend upon
department regulations Of a beer try
out. They see no likelihood Of any
early change in the law by which a
physician may prescribe not more
than pint of whiskey in any ten day
period. But going back to prohibi'
ton days, dry leaders recalled that
the sick mans beer supply was rather
liberal, certainly, as compared with
modern possibilities, 1t used to be
prescribed by the case.
