The council chairman has sent or.
ganiation material to all teachers OF
the county who have not formed a

Several Associations. newly organi.
zed. or organized last year. have not

receiving literature from the state.
Two cards were provided for all as
sociations. one was addressed to the
County Superintendent OF Schools aud

pIoyed by his son William Hepner,

him A horse and buggy which Gin
ger borrowed yesterday of Mr.. Hep.
