Still After stills.

Newton News: We notice that Of
ficers throughout the state are making
relentless war on the bOOze traffic.
Stills are captured every day and it s
becoming harder for the Illicit manu-
facture Of liquor. Although it has beer
but a comparatively short time since
the VOlstead law became operative,
we find that officials are making good
progress in their fight against the IL
quOr traffic. OF course, the booze Is
not oil put ont Of business yet nor will
1t be fOr few years. Perhaps it
never will be absolutely eliminated. But
it is getting to the point where 1t IS
mighty uncomfortable to be engaged in
the manufacture or sale of bOoze IL
legally. 1t is encouraging to notice
that the still business Is still hazard

,stratfor,l Teachers.

Stratford Courier: Next Monday the
St1atford schools will, open for another
session of nine months after the usual
three months summer vacation. This
year the board has spent practically
nothing for repairs or altera tions in the
building, the building being in about
as modern condition as it can be and
no alterations or expense in making
changes was deemed necessary.
The board has raised the price OF
tuition, however, in every grade for
the coming school year. The board
went over this matter carefully and
learned that it was costing more per
pupil for that pupils instruction than
was being charged and that the heavy
part of this expense was being horne
by local taxpayers. They found that
pupils who were coming from outside
of this school district were receiving
their education for less than the stu
dents within the district. So they have
raised the price Of going.tO our schools
here SO as to make it an even break
with the expense of the students within
the district. -,
Although the names OF the members
of the faculty have been published
once before several weeks ago, we
herewith give the names of the teach
ers in order that people may become
acquainted with the positions of the
new teachers for the year:

A rich wild song as the darkness
falls:
And mystic peace creeps over the

Over the starry halls.
So may ! sing on the edge of death.
When the dark deScends and the

SO may the mystic peace creep down
Over my weary heart.
