After the very pleasant and In
b tractive Joint sessions of the Teach-
en and directors this week there can
be no question of the desirability of
holding these meetings at the same
time. The look of attendance on the
part of direotors is regretable, only
81, or not half the number attended
What excuse the absentees may give
is a question. The proposed new
code lengthens the terms of directors
to six years and if a director will not
attend the Convention, unless be has
a good reason, the people of the sev
eral districts should not annoy him
with the office. The conventions
are a means of becoming better in
formed as to the duties of a director
and every one who was present went
home - with new views. Directors
have the schools in charge and on
their judgment and interest to a
large extent depends the char
acter and qnality of the educational
facilities afforded the children oi
their districts. If the new code be
comes a law be caretul next year
when direotors are eleoted that only
men who are interested in schools
are eleoted. Don't elect men who
are indifferent to your sohool inter
ests your children will suffer irrepa
rable injury if you do.
What people are looking for in
those days are men who oan do
things. The man who cannot and
will not aid you to obtain your de
sires is of no vse to you. He may
have excellent Intentions but if he
does not make them effective either
through lack of knowledge or indig
ence he is of no advantage to yoa
What it true of individuals is of coin
munition. This county unfortunate
ly U ptr. The dollars you pay in
taxes are hard to raise and improve
ments are not made without money
Is it preferable that you raise the
money for them or that they should
be made by the State, to which yon
do not pay taxes unless you have
money at interest. Considerable
state money has been sent iu this
county in the past two or three
years, obtained through the efforts
of your representative. The man
ner in which it has been spent may
not meet your precise views, but ov
er this your representative had no
control. The work at Cave Bank
may not, in your opinion, moot the
requirements but it is a beginning.
Why not send him baok and give
him opportunity to supplement the
sum by obtaining another appropria
tion with which more work oan be
done. He has his hands on the free
bridge wire, oan another get there
with the same effects. Oive him op
portunity to carry this project thru
and after ha has filled your needs
theu send some one who can without
detriment to you, fall back into the
old methods of getting nothing.
Winter is coming, coal ana provis
ions are to buy, new clothing and
shoes for the wife and children. Will

Origin of "Three Balls" Sign.
The origin of the three balls In
front of a pawnbroker's ofllce, says
the New York World, was a corpora
tion of Italian merchants, known as
"Lombards," who established loan of
fices In France and England during
the thirteenth century. Their "arms.1
or emblems, (or those of Uie Medtcl
family, which was foremost In the cor
poration), were three golden balls.
The present "three ball" sign la sup
posed to be derived from that.
Walnuts for Fighting Bulla.
The I'nlted States Consul General

co city for use exclusively in feed

supposed to put tbe animals on edge

Electricity In France.
Official reports from Paris and
Marseilles Indicate the Immense
strides made by the movement to
obtain electric power from waterfalls
In that country: Many factories and
trolley-lines are now operated by
electric power brought over a dis
tance of 100 miles. The effects of
the new system nrn particularly felt
in the hilly nnd mountainous district
stretching from the Mediterranean
Rea to the Alps, and nlong the west
ern borders of tho latter. It is be
lieved that 2.0' 0.000 horse-power may
be economically obtained, and of this
total about one fifth has already been
utilized, or Is in progress of utilisa
tion. The work now In progress on
new plants In the Krench Alps will,
It Is believed, revolutionize mnnu
factmlng conditions In the whole
Mediterranean rei-ion of Fi-anc. and
greatly stimulate nnd increase the in
dustries of th'nt country.

with an air of eager curiosity, she ap
proached a verg"r. "I wonder if you
can help me?" she a-iked hopefully. "I
am looking for the grave of King Ed

"Sorry, ma'am," said ffco verger
apologetically, "but we 'avcn't got Ed
ward II."
"nut," protHBted tho visitor, "I un
derstood that the Abbey waa the
burial pulce of kings."
"So It is, ma'am. In a way," re
turned the verger; "but we bonly
'ave the odd numbers 'ere."
