FEW TEACHERS
IN COD|NGT0|V
BETWEEN 80 AND 100 NEEDED
IN SMALL TOWNS AND
RURAL DISTRICTS.

Watertown, July Between 95
and 100 teachers are needed In the
small towns and rural schools of
Codington county, il the schools are
to be supplied for the fall terms. This
was learned at the county superin-
tendent's office when a survey of the
county schools showed that only &
few districts. have signed contracts
for the coming school year.
While there is a shortage OF appli-
cations from teachers of experience
holding first grade certificates the
county superiatendent's office has on
file some applications from teachers
of splendid ability and wide expert
ence. Miss Minard fears that large
percent of these will go outside of
Codington county to teach unless the
various boards assume different at
titude in answering applications.
There has been tendency this year
according to the superintendent. for
boards in districts which are de-
manding experienced teachers, to de-
lay in signing teachers or acknowl-
edging the applications. Miss Min
ard said the office stands ready TO
help any district in securing teach
er to fit the position and urges the
districts to cooperate and to notify
the office when teacher has been
secured.
That many are leaving the teach
ing profession, while yet others are
taking advanced work at the normal
TO fit themselves for positions in the
city schools, is causing the present
shortage of experienced teachers,
Miss Minard believes.

~ Ing settlement OF the railway
shipments strike as last week drew 10
close. and though peace efforts were
continued, their success was worse
than predetermined in view Of the un-
compromising stand of both sides on
the chief point In dispute. On Wednes-
day the Association Of Railway Execu-
tives, by q vote of 254 to 4, rejected
the proposal Of the chiefs of the
brotherhoods, acting as mediators,
that the strikers be reinstated with
seniority unimpaIred. The brother
hood leaders, after comforting with
heads of other rail unions. suggested
the possibility OF separate agreements
with the railroads. and the executives
said they would test the sincerity of
this proposal, but with the distinct
understanding that any individual
settlement would have to conform to
the understanding OF seniority reached
at the general session Of the execu-
tives. Most OF the railroads also re-
fuse to agree to take back all of the
strikers. as consistently demanded by
the union.
Bert NJ. Jewell. spokesman for the

ment saying:
The association OF railway execu-
1ives has closed the door. The unions

Being a Bore

It isn't hard to be a bore, if you
are so inclined; with ease you'll
make your neighbors sore, and spoil
their peace of mind. Perhaps you
have an old tin car, an antiquated
Liz; then sound its praises near and
far, and brag how good it is. Up
beetling mountainsides it tears,
without change of gears; it hasn't
cost you for repairs buck in four
teen years. Your friends all know
your old tin bus, they see it every
day; they know it isn't worth cuss,
no matter what you say. And they
have cars that really make a splash
for grace and style, and they ali
wish, for Peters sake, you'd let
them brag awhile. The auto makes
the whole outdoors the playground
of the mob it also makes a crowd
of bores whereer its pistons throb.
And there are ninety other ways to
bore your whiting friends; new sys-
TENS always meet your gaze, when
some old system ends. Sir Oracle

roam, the man who talks as though
