TEACHER is TARGET
Pupils Show Their Disapproval
of All Forms of Learning.
Fruits and Vegetables Among Missiles
Hurled at schooimarm in New
York Village.

Beacon. n. Y.-When boys and
girls of this town took to hurting fruit
and vegetables at their school teacher
as a token of their disapproval of all
forms Of academic learning the tax
payers gathered In executive session,
to vote them into state of sub
mission. At the same time, 1t was
learned the taxpayers voted the school
at Myers Corners out of existence.
1t was developed In the argument
over the closing of the school that the
pupils, IL not properly acquainted with
the location Of the River Volga, were,
on the other hand, possessed of an I'M
bellevable variety of useless accom-
plshments with regard to enjoying
themselves and making the life of their
teacher Miss Beatrice Ham of Mill
brook. miserable.
Not only were they adept In all the
recognized forms of class room devil
try, such as sticking pins in each other,
and catapulting wads of paper about
by means of rubber bands but they
had the daring to maintain their mis-
behavior In the face of official disap-
prevail.
According to the discussion as 1t
took place among the taxpayers. moth
Ing that Miss Ham could do had any
effect on the members Of her school,
II was told how the youngsters had
left their trademarks on the walls Of
the school building, and how they had
desecrated the pictures of President
Harding and of Roosevelt and Wilson,
which were hung on the walls of the
school to inspire them to high and pa
triotic thoughts. II seemed, however,
that none of the pupils was consider
ing the possibilities of his candidacy
for the presidency that term and that
each was equipped with self-starting
inspirer.
In one way and another Miss Ham
came to he looked upon with ill-favor
by her pupils and they decided that
the best way of showing how little
they thought Of her was by Z vegetable
barrage. So they brought vegetables
TO class with them and threw them at
her with many and sundry gleeful
shouts.
Miss Ham complained. She said that
she had been Inundated and that her
dress had been spoiled. 1t was this,
more than anything else, that moved
the taxpayers to close the school. So
now the rambunctious pupils will
hike to Wapplner's Falls for little
education. Whether they can wreck
the school there remains to be seen.

VETERAN CLEANUP
 CAMPAIGN NOW ON

The Sweet Bill became a law on August 9th, when President Harding affixed his signature, ending a heroic struggle of two and half years for the decentralization of the War Risk Bureau.
 The Wason Bill, which provided for this means of speedy relief for our disabled veterans, was passed by Con- gress after two-year struggle, was vetoed by President Wilson.
 The Sweet bill just passed by pres7 ent Congress, embodies the provisions of the Wason Bill together with other desirable features. Under this new law the War Risk Bureau is decen- tralized into fourteen regional offices, with 106 sub-offices. The decentral- ized War Risk Bureau, the U. S. Pub lie Health Service and Federal Train ing Board, insofar as they have to do with ex-service men and women are all consolidated under the head of a newly-created Veterans Bureau. President Harding has nominated Col. Chas. H. Forber, present director of the War Risk Bureau and U. S. Public Health Service, for director of the Veterans Bureau.
 The reorganization will take effect immediately.
 Under this plan, the agencies for veteran relief will be removed from the jurisdiction of the Treasury De- partment and the director will be d. .rectly responsible to the president, thereby removing these relief agencies entirely from political patronage. Another feature provides that in cases of mental Arrangement and tub erculosis, that the burden of proof shall rest upon the government for two years from date of discharge of the applicant.
 |, In other words, if an ex-service man or woman develops either malady within two years after date of dis charge, it is conceded that such con dition is due to military service and compensation will be immediately awarded. Thousands of pitiable cases will thus be automatically provided for.
 In the meantime, before such de- centralization takes place, Director Forbes is sending forth cleanup squads to reach as many disabled vet erans as possible under existing con- ditions.
 As previously announced in these columns, the cleanup squad will visit Kingman, Monday, September 26 where they will examine and prepare

Their excavations p,oved that there lad been a pueblo which had been reduced to ruins even before the Spaniards came. The roof of the ground-flool chamber was alInUst intact, and tne bark loops, which had been used tO suspend goods, were stil' attached to the beams.

RICH FIND IN QUICKSILVER
 IS MADE IN MEXICO

Monterey (Mex.) Aug. 31.-An enormous deposit of cinnapar ore, from which quicksilver is obtained, has been discovered near San Miguel, State of Zacatecas, by Emilio M. Gaya, according to information re- ceived here. It is stated that the out croppings of the ore are extensive and that it is rich quicksilver, in addition to the native mercury that is found in the underground crevices of the ore. Preliminary investigation leads to the belief that the deposit may be as large as the famous quicksilvef mines of Alameden, Spain, and those of the New Alameden of California
 In the same locality of the new dis covery are situated the Maravillas and Ascension cinnabar mines, which, for many years, have been the prin- cipal source of Mexico's quicksilver production, it is stated. MT. Gaya plans to develop the new property. In the Terlingua district of the upper border region of Texas several cin- nabar mines have been in operation for more than twenty years.
 These mines are situated close to the Rio Grande and outcroppings of cinnabar ore have been found on the Mexican side of the river just opposite the mines in Texas but as yet no steps have been taken toward their develop ment.

KING OF RAILROAD BEATS

There came to New York recently Gypsy the Wanderer," king of rail- road beats. He stayed but a short time, leaving the city in May for San Francisco, California, in an effort to' demonstrate that he can travel on fast trains and make the trip in six days and half without paying fare
 In private life the wanderer calls himself Joseph Belsky. He says that he has travelled over large part of Europe, and sixty-six times across this continent, at the expense of the rail- roads. Being a careful calculator, he estimates that he owes the railroads about $264, ,347, and he intends to keep on owing it.
