SPOTLIGHTS

Hon M. l.. Britain who has held
the office OF STATE Superintendent of
Schools Tor the past twelve years has
stated his purpose OF retiring at the
end of this year, with the two reasons
that he has an increasing distaste for
politics" which with another candi-
date i the field is inevitable, and be-
Ing tired OF constant travel and abb
sence from home" He states his
preference for college work. Sorle
suggest his being an eligible candi-
date and a quite proper one too for
the head OF Georgia Tech His ad-
rnlnistratlon as state superintendent
has been marked by important chang
es and improvements and he has
won national recognition by his work,
| beng for several years a member of
the Council of the Rockefeller Foun-
F, dation Board.
President Harding in letter Of
telicltation to Chauncey Depew after
reading the latter's book of reminis-
| Genes said he had only one criticism
to make and that was that Depew had
perpetuated SO many of his good af-
ser-dinner stories that they were GER
! tain OF being stolen for the next CEN
fury to his own loss as after dinner
/ speakers are constituencies in the
matter OF giving credit to the source
OF their anecdotes.
Old EX-Kaiser Wilhelm whose van
ity was one of his most conspicuous
traits as we knew of him before and
during the war, must be wonderfully
| ted up on the late scramble after his
book of $4,000 words for which a
! quarter of a million dollars has been
paid for book and serial rights by an
American combination of publishers,
with the Mcclure Sydicate taking the
lead and getting the book right which
they expect to issue in September.
The price paid for the publication
rights of the ex-Kaiser's Memoirs ex-
ceeds any cash price ever paid in the
history Of publishing and the story OF
the competition was dramatic strug-
gle that included rapid-fire cable
grams from Japan, China, India, South
Africa, Australia as we'll as Britain
! Canada, North and South America
and two racing trips made across the
Atlantic in the. interest of two rival
J American groups of publishers. Re
suits might have been different had
the representative of the second pow
erful competing group made the last
| leg of the journey by airplane which
it was supposed that he would, but
waiting for night train from Paris
to Leipsic to tender his higher bid
the time expired for its acceptance
and the first group having fulfilled
the contract to the yer letter received
the plum.
The whole educational world is
taking notice of the record made by C.
d. Hutchings Goldstein, North Car
DINA student at Harvard University
who in test for graduate degree
answered every question correctly
that was put to him in three hours of
oral examination by thirteen differ
ent professors and inspectors. They
agree that so per cent would have been
good average in this kind of exam
nation. The young man had already
won fellowship for University work
abroad.

ADVERTISEMENT OF FOUR
WORDS SELLS TWELVE
THOUSAND BARRELS SALT

HOWARD, c. D., June 12--One OF
the most persistent advertisers in S.
Dakota, and firm believer in the use
of printers ink, is David Theophilus,
business man of this city. In this
connection there is an amusing little
story in reference to one feature of
his use of printers ink.
In addition to other business inter-
ests, he conducts an elevator, and for
a period of "a years he ran the same
advertisement in Howard newspaper
the advertisement read-"Dave Theo-
philus Sells Salt"
After he had seen this line in the
paper year after year an Alabama sub
scriber got tired of reading the same
Spiel" and wrote Theophilus a post
card with these words on it
For heavens sake haven't you:
sold that salt yet"
Theophilus looked vp his records of
sales and replied
"Have sold 10000 barrels since you
commenced reading that advertise
ment but still have some left.

cautious trading today with prices
exceedingly firm but with buyers
standing out firmly against the ex-
listing level of quotations. Business
was waiting TO ra closing of the
gap between the ideas of those who
bid and offer, especially in the
print cloths. Sheetings were dulls
but drills were firm and in good
demand. Twills also were sought
in considerable volume and the call
for sateens were strigly in evil
dence.
Raw silk was reported exceed
ingly dull in Yokohama today and
the market here was exceedingly
weak. Nearly all grades dropped
at least cents. The quotations of
XXA 13-15s and 20-22s were $8.45

is toward still higher prices, espe-
cially for three-eighths blood and
