Exile is reported on Monday to have been agreed upon as the punishment to be meted out to the former German Kaiser, The decision is said to be unan imous.

An old-fashioned auction will be held at Meiss’ store at Colyer, on Saturday tilizer.~R., D. Foreman, Centre Hall. evening. Be ther» for some real bar- gains, we wo —- # i fans Offered. A new teacher's salary increase bill em- boding the views of educators and legis- lators, was on Monday added by Mr, Cattlin, of McKean, to the measures on the subject now before the legislature, at Harrisburg. It is designed to replace the Woodruff*ill, which is on the house calendar, It is calculated by Dr, Catt- lin and his associates in drafting the bill that it would call for the state to ap- propriate about $2 500,000 additional yearly and the school districts to furnish a like amount, According to its sponsor, teachers holding provisional certificates will re. ceive $60 a month minimum, the dis trict paying $42 and the state $18; pro- fessional, $75, disirict paying $45 and the state $30, and teachers holding high- er certificates $85, the districts paying $45 and the state $40. These increases, be said, would be about 25 per cent, over 1917-18 salaries. Rural teachers with provisional certificates would get $10 per month additional, The increase for teachers now re- ceiving over the minimum would be: Provisional certificate holders receiving $70 would get $70 from districts and $20 from the state ; professionals getting $75 would get $75 and $20 from the same sources, and holders of higher certifi- cates receiving $85 would get $80 from districts and $20 from the state. Teach- ers receiving trom $100 to $150 monthly would get the same pay from the dis- tricts and $20 additional from the state, and those receiving $150 to $200 would get the same from districts and $15 from the state. —— i — ————— I.

Weaver, treasurer of the school board, and others who volunteered to help. As one of the questions asked in history, all over the township for pro- motion to higher grades, was ** What significance has the flag in the school room ?"”, the writer would suggest that the board of directors take favorable act- ion as to the purchase of a flag for every school, thereby complying with the law of the State board of education, and so that the children may be taught in their youth what the American flag stands for, As Murray is the voting place for the North precinct of Gregg township, the flag can now be flown on election days and automobile tourists passing over the state road through Brush Valley to visit the wonderful Penns Cave, after emerg- ing through the mists, caused by the disturbance and evaporation of water in the ruts and mud holes, catching glimpse of Old Glory floating on the breeze, may now know that they are still in the good old U. 8.

RAISING FOXES IN ALASKA well sol 80 {hero 5 And with when ent gn fire, Oe matter Animals Are Bred There for Their Fur, and the Industry Is a Re. munerative’ One, There are ten or twelve fox farms in Alaska. One of them, situated in the Tanana valley, a mile and a half from Fairbanks, consists of ten acres of cleared land, the greater part of which is covered with pens in which the animals live, From a distance the fox farm looks like a huge chicken yard, with walls of woven wire and hencoops of ‘various sizes Inside. Each pen is 00 feet long, 8 feet wide and about 10 feet high. The wire is tough steel and Is sunk about four feet In the ground and is then bent so that it runs inward underground for about two feet to prevent the foxes from dig. ging out. At the top the wire hag an overhang of two feet to prevent the captives from climbing over. Each pen has a kennel made of boards, like a dog kennel, the entrance to which Is f chute or a wooden pipe a foot square. Only one pair of foxes live in each pen. They are very timid and have to be handled carefully. Most of the fox farmers will not allow strang- ers to enter thelr property for fear they will frighten the animals, The foxes are fed with salmon, moose meat, horse meat, rabbits, carrots and turnips, A common feed is rice and rabbits cooked together In a stew, REAL ESTATE, The underlined, ex cntors of the estate of Lyd. is Ane Harter, ‘ate of Gregg woship, deceased, will offer at public sa'e, ou the premises, sbout one and one-half miles Bouth-east of Spring Mills, on BEATURDAY, MAY 31st, AT ONE O'CLOCK the following described res] osiate, viz ; All that certain messusge or tenement and tract of land, situated ‘no the township of Gregg, county of Centre and #tate of Pennsylvania, bou and described as follows, viz © Beginn. fog at corner of lands of George Gentzell snd Hebeea Finkle, thence along lands of Rebecos rinkie, north $034 degrees east 112.6 perches 19 8 post; white oak ; thence along same soulh 87 24 de grees east 04.6 perches 10 8 white oak ; thenos along same, south 7024 degrees enst 16.4 perches to s hickory ; thenos slong same, south 40 3.4 dew grees east 54.2 perches to a point in the miodie of Muddy creek: thenee along lands of Jeeo!
