PAYING HER TEACHERS
MORE ACCURATELY
Missouri Salaries Raised 81 Per Cent
This Year.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 90
School teachers employed in the high
schools and grade schools Of Missouri
are receiving an average Of 81 per
cent higher salaries this year than
they received last year, according to
a statement here today by State Sup
Ierintendent Sam A Baker. Superin-
Itendent Baker bases his statement on
the reports from approximately 500 Of
| the states 600 schools, giving the
salaries that are paid teachers in
these schools, both high and grade
school.
A compilation of the returns from
the larger majority of the high schools
4 from every section Of the state shows
that the average salary paid to high
school teaches last year was $925.84,
while the average this year is ST.
|215.79, exclusive of the salary Of sup
erintnedent's both wears. The average
| for grade school teachers last year
was s569.45, against an average of
s764.S3 this year. The increase for
the high school teachers averages 81
and one-third per cent, while that of
the grade school teachers is 81 and
e-sixth per cent.
The returns from the high schools
1
which answered Superintendent
Boxers inuuirv as to the salaries be-
ing paid teachers, shows that these
|high schools paid total of s396,363
for high school teachers last vear, as
compared to s52O,362 to be Maid this
year. In the grade schools the total
salaries of these same schools for last
year amounted to s243.727, as COM
pared to s319,647 this year
"This increase in teachers salaries,
which is considerably higher than was
expected, is the best indication of the
realization by the people of the state
that the best instructors must be en-
ploved to teach the children" Super
intendent Baker said, when asked the
significance of the increase in sala-
|ries. cit is another indication of the
greater interest that is being mani
tested throughout the nation in the
education of the children.
Heretofore, when a child was sick,
the parents were quick to obtain the
services of the most efficient physi-
clan, irrespective of cost, likewise,
with any service that may require the
attention of lawyer. But with the
school teacher, the public as whole
has taken the teacher that would
serve for the least pay. Today, this
attitude has changed and the public
is demanding that the most efficient
instructor be employed to teach the
child, just the same as the most eff
Icient physicians is called to treat the
child when physicians services are
needed"

NAMES OF PADONED MEN
 NOT TO BE MADE PUBLIC

Names of paroled and pardoned prisoners from the state penitentiary at Florence will not be given out in the future, according to the announce ment of W. J. Gal0raith, attorney gen. eral, on his return Sunday to Phoenix from Florence, where the board of pardons and paroles held two days session.
 Galbraith said that the ruling was made at the request of the prisoners, one of their number appearing before the board and urging the members to aid them in making a clean start" /" He said that the men after having served the punishment dealt them by law had paid the price of their mis- take.
 "Do not keep alive the fact that vict.
 The board agreed to suppress the names, a policy that has heretofore been in effect in the matter of paroles and pardons from the industrial school at Fort Grant. An 18-year-old boy from Pima county, who was in prison was paroled to the Fort Grant insti- tuition at the meeting, where 72 cases were considered. There will be no further meetings of the board until September, Galbraith said.
 Of the number of men who came before the board at it's last session this summer, 16 receiver paroles and in two cases paroles were revoked and the prisoners returned to prison. All but two of the many matters that came to the attention of the board were disposed of and these two will re- quire detailed investigation.

HYDROPHOBIA SKUNK BITES
 BOWMAN NEAR BENSON

Bitten by a hydrophobia skunk, which attacked him while sleeping on the ground, John W. Miller, cow man, is en route to Fl Paso where he will take the Pasteur treatment.
 Miller, who was night herding a bunch of cattle, had placed his tar paulin and bed on the ground at a point several miles from Benson, pre- pared to spend the night there. Upon going to bed the cowman says he a skunk, which caused him to cover his head with his tarpaulin. He slept through the night without molestation and upon awakening Sat urday morning, as he threw the cover from his head, was attacked by the skunk. The animal fastened it's teeth in Miller's lower lip and in tearing loose its hold, the lip was badly lac erated. After killing the skunk, Mil Ter rode to Benson and took the first train for Fl Paso. He took the body of the skunk with him for examination by Dr. Hugh White. physician in charge of the Pasteur Institute of that place.

REAL LIVE ARIZONA
 SHERIFF INTERESTS BOSTON

Sheriff Robert Lee Newman, of Nav ajo county, Arizona, put into Boston yesterday, sombrero, khaki knee brooches and all, on a man hunt that has led him long crooked trail from Gods country" In Everett yester- day, with the assistance of Chief of Police Hill, he "lassoed" his man and as soon as the extradition fight is over starts back with the prisoner chained to him, Arizona fashion, on four-day railroad jaunt to the Navajo county jail and justice.
 The prisoner now in the custody of the Massachusetts State Police, is wanted back in the cattle country, ac- cording to Sheriff Newman, for forg- cry. The warrant for his arrest in the sheriff's pocket charges Preston Simms, half Negro and half Mexi- can, with forging checks for $39O, $100 and $500, respectively, on the Jen- nings Auto company, the Ford Auto company, and the Round Valley bank, all of the city of Holbrook, Ariz.
 The money involved in the capture is hardly worthy of the effort and expense to "get" the prisoner. Be sides Sheriff Newman says he likes the wide open spaces better than the of Boston streets. But out in Arizona, when the sheriff says he's going after a man, he doesn't gener- ally come back without him, is about the way this veteran of the old school of sheriffs puts his last man-hunt case.

PROTEST CUT IN TRANSCON-
 TINENTAL WOOL RATES TO
 PROTECT ARIZONA GROWERS

Claiming that the present high rate on wool from Arizona to eastern points in conjunction with the propos- ed reductions from California termin- als will more than wipe out the bene- ficial effect of any emergency tariff on this commodity, the Arizona cor poration commission has prepared petition to be filed with the intersta-e commerce commission, vigorously pro testing the proposed transcontinental reductions.
 The present rate on wool from Cal ifornia terminals to New York IS $1.66 1-2 per hundred and this rate 1t is proposed to cut to $15. The present rate from Kingman to New York IS $2.73 and from Maricopa to New York, $3.33.
 In its petition of protest to the l. c. C., the Arizona commission points out:
 sHThat wool growing is one of the principal industries of Arizona It is a matter of common knowledge that practically all of the wool shipped from Pacific coast terminals is import ed from Australia and New Zealand and other foreign countries, and 10 permit the continuance of existing high rates from Arizona. and inter mediate points between the coast terminals and allow substantial re- ductions in the Pacific coast rates would have the effect of defeating the purpose of the emergency tariff on wool that was recently passed by con- gress."

SEEK TO LOWER FREIGHT
 RATES ON ARIZONA HAY

Relief to starving cattle in Ariz- ona as well as for the farmers of the Salt River valley is sought in an ap- plication before the Arizona Corpora ton commission seeking a reduction of 25 per cent in the intra-state freight rate on hay.
 Hay growers who attended the hear ing testified that they would be bene- fited by hay movements which the re- duced rate would bring, and cattle men gave evidence to show that cheap hay is sorely needed at this time for range stock of drought stricken dist ricts.
 Before the recent advance of 25 per cent imposed by the Interstate Com merce commission the rate on hay from Salt River valley points to Tue son was S5 per ton. The present rate is $6.25. The cattlemen are seeking to have the old rate temporarily re- instated.

SECRETARY HALL REFUSES
 TO CALL SPECIAL ELECTION

Secretary of State Hall in letter to the attorney general made it quite
 plain that the petition filed against
 house bill No. 83 has blocked the ef-
 fort to hold special election next November to determine whether the state shall guarantee bonds of private irrigation projects. The letter was in answer to communication from the attorney general in which he declared that, in his opinion, the secretary o1 state should disregard the referendum petition directed against paragraph of house bill 83 on the ground that it amounted to a referendum of referendum" This section says:
 "Section - That said proposed amendment shall be submitted to the electors of the state of Arizona for their approval CT rejection at a spec iaI election which is hereby called for such purpose, to be held in manner provided by law for general elections, on the Sth day of November, 1921.'
 In reaching his decision, Secretary Hall points out that the opinion of the attorney general dealt with house bill S3 as a whole, whereas the ref erendum was directed at section only and calls attention to the fact that the lower house recognized that 9 referendum could be filed against the section mentioned and placed an em- ergency clause to the bill, which Secretary Hall, was stricken from the measure by the Senate. Secretary clause, for some reason not known to Hall, in his reply, says:
 q can find nothing in your opinion as to why I should not obey the con mandates and submit the against section 4 of house bill S3 to the people at the next gen eral election, and at the same time submit the amendment to the constitu- ton as proposed in house bill 93, with the exception of section of said bill. [ do not see houw can refuse to obey a constitutional mandate concerning my official duties, even though sup ported by your official opinion"
 Secretary Hall advises those who | think he is not performing his duty to institute proceedings at once"

BLANKETS WILL BE
 CHEAPER SOON IS PREDICTION

Ramah, N. M.-Navajo blankets gre going to be cheaper in the near fu- ture because of an economic pinch among the Navajo Indians, according to present indications, the low price of sheep and wool being hard on the Indians who subsist cheifly on sheep. With the market for wool weak, the Indians are converting their wool into blankets, creating an abnormal sup ply, which is driving the price down. The situation is expected to ease up in the fall, when the pinon nut crop is harvested.

SEEK LOST" DIAMOND MINE
Legend of immensely Rich Deposits
of Rough Stones Lures Adventures
to African WiIds.

Natives and white men within
radius of 100 miles of the Great falls
on the Orange river in Africa are
familiar with the story of the lost
diamond mine, where an English ad-
venturer is supposed to have made a
fortune in rough stones. The legend
says that lie underwent such hard
ships in reaching the mine and in
getting back safely that he swore he
would never return. His bushboy
guide was killed by a snake, and with
the death of the Englishman the loca-
ton of the mine became a mystery.
But the stories of huge rough dia-
monds to be picked up by the hand
full still lure Adventures who seek
excitement and sudden wealth in
Africa. Little is known of the Orange
river. For hundreds of miles below
the falls at Aughrabies it winds
through deep gorges and inaccessible
canyons, and is called the River Of
Mystery" The Great falls are twice
as high as Niagara.
To the natives of the region rough
diamonds are useless, and without
value. They We're surprised by the
hazards the white men would brave
in search of the stones, and it is
difficult to obtain guides who will
venture into the dangers below the
waterfall.

A COMMENDABLE STATEMENT
FROM A DEMOCRATIC PAPER

The following editorial appeared in
the CLINTON DEMOCRAT October
27, 1921. 1t bespeaks an honesty that
is more than commendable in these
times of "old-line" political chican-
cry resorted to by the losing cause
of the Democrats in Hunterdon Co.
We don't know, personally, the edi-
tor of the Clinton Democrat, but we
look forward with pleasure to meet
ing man with such fearless candor.
The editorial follows:

'The time has passed when free
holders were elected for their know

The freeholders do the county's bus;-
ness and men of tact and business

builders will build our roads, and
these and the many osher duties in
cident to this important office are
looked after by our freeholders who
must see that it is done for the best
interests of the county. William Holt
may have been a good road builder
in his day and know something of

as good bargain for the county as
he would for himself. His unquestion-
ed integrity would give his constit-
uents a sense of security they do not
at present enjoy. The Democratic adj
ministration has been in charge of
the affairs of the county so long that
the same thing has happened here as
has happened in larger common

BERT THOMAS FOR THE
FARMERS

Mr.. Thomas understands and sym
pathizes with the agriculturist. In
conducting one of the largest and
most responsible feed and flour mills
in Hunterdon County for years, he
has been in close touch with thous-
ands of farmers, and thru his bust
ness dealings has learned their prob
lens which are really his problems
as well.
Mr.. Thomas realizes how much
you are suffering under the present
unreasonable tax burdens and knows
that if elected he could help you
because he would be member of
The majority party, and the passage
of helpful legislation, such as bills
designated to give Hunterdon mare
aid for roads and schools, depends
upon favorable action by the major
ity. His opponent is not in harmony
with the Democratic minority led by
Governor Edwards and Jim" Nu-
gent, would therefore, be against all
and with none.
The results would be that he could
accomplish little, if anything. You
need action, not words!
Some Of the farmers are urged
to support Mr.. Agans because he
has been a lecturer in the State
Grange. Most farmers know as much
about farming as does Mr.. Agans,
and do not need to be told how to
farm by him. What they Do need
is active, productive effort on the
part of their representatives to the
end that their burden may be light
ened. Mr.. Thomas can be depended
upon to help you.
