war. In 1870 he moved to Kansas
and homesteaded near Abilene, be-
coming one OF the early settlers Of

united in marriage to Mary c. Good

children were born to this union Of
whom two died in infancy. The

wife and children he leaves four
grandchildren, besides two sisters
and one brother residing In Wiscon-
sin.
Mr.. Towne possessed quiet and
reserved disposition which attached
him closely to his home and family
to which he was very devoted. In
his latter days he accepted Christ
as his Saviour, confessing his faith
in Him as well as his readiness to
meet Him. For several years the

D. A. DISPLAY A CREDIT



Miss Lucille Halleck, teacher Of
domestic science and art in the high
school had on display Wednesday
and Thursday Of this week the work
Of the girls in her domestic art de-
partment.
Entering the room where the gar
ments made by the girls were on dis
play, one had the impression Of en-
tering the dress and underwear de-
partment |Of an exclusive shop. The
display included MILDLY suits of
bright colors, organdie, Bingham,
wool and silk dresses, blouses, kimo-
mas and light under things which
girls of the freshman and junior
classes had made. All the work was
well done and credit to both teach
err and pupils.
The girls selected their material
with the advice Of Miss Halleck and
made their garments during daily
periods of seventy minutes. The
average time for completing dress
at that rate is six weeks. Cost of
time was not estimated in the cost
mark on each garment. Only the
materials used were counted as cost.
The display closed this afternoon
at ) o'clock. 1t has been open to the
public for two days and would con-
vince the most skeptical that prac-
teal subjects are taught i'll high
schools of today.

This Is SOME SCHEME
Soiicltors For New Newspaper Gam
Work Merchants Right


Along with. other profteering is
the new crop of newspaper schemes
for advertising as worked by travel
ing solicitors. In former days they
were content to charge the newspa-
per's regular advertising rates and II
was merely novel way to present
advertising, the solicitor getting only
about usual wages for his work. The
Reflector has In the past hired spec
ial solicitors on such basis.
But it's different now. Two soil
citors for the same kind Of a scheme
have come to the Reflector In the
past three weeks. They furnished
some cheap cuts and wanted to run
a page Of advertising with alleged
write-ups OF the town for Twelve
weeks. The merchants were TO be
charged double regular rates and the
solicitor would get 35 per cent of
the amount. The last one figured
that he would get 1856 for two days
work, which would Of course come
out Of the extra charge put on the
merchants. Neither would seek the
approval Of the business mems asso-
citation, saying that they were al
ways turned down when they asked
1t. The Reflector refused to consider
either plan.
The country is thick with schemes
of this kind and in many varieties.
When rates are boosted to benefit a
travelling schemer, it is unfair to the
merchant and takes just that much
from the town. Only in small towns
is such a game now possible; the
merchants Of the larger towns have
learned the lesson and most papers
refuse to be a party to the scheme.

CHILDREN IN HEALTH CRUSADE
In Kansas 10000 Are Observing
Health Rules

Kansas has 10000 school chill
dren enrolled In the Modern Health
Crusade" according to DR.. Charles
III. Lerrigo, secretary Of the Kansas
State tuberculosis Association which
directs the work in Kansas In CO.
operation with the State Board OF
Health.
The health crusade, compare
lively new movement, is sweeping
the country, according to Doctor
Lerrigo. 1t is a system Of teaching
health habits by doing few simple
health "chores" every day. These
are fundamentals of health which
have been passed upon by child
health experts and which any child
can keep. They cover sleep, food,
exercise and cleanliness, and are de-
signed to build firm foundation for
a happy and vigorous life.
The boys and girls keep their
own scores, preferably at home, 1t
is explained SO that the parents may
get some training, too. A certain
number Of credits are allowed for
each rule kept. A passing grade Of
IS per cent is required for the aspir-
ing crusader to gain each successive
rank. After performing the eleven
"chorss" successfully for two weeks,
the rank Of page Is conferred. After
FIVE weeks he becomes squire, ten
weeks knight and fifteen weeks
q knight banner. etc. Class rooms
scoring 100 per cent are awarded
banners by the state tuberculosis
association,

right to delegate their power to the
Mayor to agree on the terms and ex-
iecute this contract. Under the statute
and ordinance referred to the Mayor
/ in executing a contract merely car
ries out the mandate of the municipal
authorities, Gin this case the Mayor
and City COrnciD, and under the law
this mandate cannot rest in parOl; it
should be set out plainly on the minu-
tes of the governing municipal board.
The order entered by the Council on
it's minutes did not contain even the
briefest outline of the contract which
the. Mayor entered into on behalf of
the City. One desiring to know what
contract a municipality has entered
into must be able to go TO theIminutes
authorizing the execution of the con-
tract and there find on the minutes
either the contract itself, or its inn
portant and controlling provisions.
For these reasons the contract en-
tered into by the Mayor on behalf of
the City of Columbus is void and has
no binding force on the City. APP
pelaat raises other questions unnec

language:


"All contracts and obligations o.
the part of the city shall be signe,
by the mayor, but no contract or OBJ
legation signed by him shall be bind
ing on the city, unless he be author
lied to sign the same by the city coun
ell, and unless such authority b.
shown by the record Of the proceed
ings of the city council"
Section 3474 of 1906, Section 1912
Hemingway's Code, is as follows:
"An officer shall not enter into any
contract on behalf of the state, OF
any county, city, town, or village
thereof, without being specially auth
orized by law, or by an order of the
board of supervisors or municipal
authorities"
This statute and the ordinance (the
latter of course having only a local
aplication) We're intended to subseve
the same policy. No officer of any
municipality in this State is authOriz-
ed to sign a contract on behalf of the
municipality unless specially author
lied thereto by law, or by an order
of the board of municipal authorities. ="
The contract in question is not one
che Mayor was specially authorized
by law" to sign, therefore We must
look to the action. of the Mayor and
City Council for his authority.
Municipalities are required to place
contracts on their minutes Their min
utes must show either the contract N
full which is being authorizcd,-that
is to set out IN full on the minutes
and make a part Of the order or reso-
luton adopting the same, or their
must set out. in substance at
least, the controlling provisions Of the
contract. Neither Of these methods

held exactly at that time.


Is the statute merely directory, OF
is it mandatory? In the opinion OF
the court this statute is mandatory
and jurisdictional. 1t must be follow
ed with substantial strictness, and if
it is not the meeting held is illegal
and all the orders, resolutions and
acts of the municipal authorities
passed in pursuance thereof are void.
In Jones V. Burford, 26 Miss, 1914,
an analogous question arose with re-
ference to special meeting of the board
of supervisors, or rather the board
Of police as it was called then. Hut
chinson's Code, no, Section 5, pro-
vides with reference to special meet
ings of the board Of police.
THAT the president of the board
may call a special meeting Thereof,
whenever it may be necessary, upon
his giving ten days notice Of said
meeting, by advertisement, posted at
the door Of the courthouse of his
county"
A special meeting was held without
this statute being complied with, and
at such meeting the taxes Of the fis-
cal year were levied by the board.
The Court held in that case as fol-
lows:
at is clear from this language,
that a meeting can only be convened
upon notice being given as required
by the statute. The president Of the
board has the power, upon a certain
to order a special meeting
Of the board; and this condition must
be complied with to make the meet
ing legal, or, in other words, to make
it board Of police"
This same principle was recognized
in origins Y. Ch.adler. 60 Miss. S62,
and Corbun v. Crittenden, G. Miss
