ARE GRADE SCHOOL | - TEACHERS UNDERPAID? { i | Bemidji schools opened Tuesday | and are now running full blast. When one sees the teacher working { late into the night “marking papers” and realizes the vast amount of work | that a teacher must do during the ! day, not alone in teaching the chil- £ dren but in quelling .childish rebel- lions, the question naturally arises, o il “Are grade school teachers under- { paid?” | The maximum wage paid a grade { school teacher in Bemidj is $65 a | month and the minimum is $45. They work practically nine months in the year and during the vacations they | are without pay. | A superintendent of schools in this state recently made a comparison of | the earnings of two classes of labor, | the teacher and the housemaid, and came to the conclusion that the in- come of the teacher is less than the income of the domestic laborer. The annual income of the average teacher is $500 and the annual in- come of the housemaid for 52 weeks at $4 is $208. | The necessary expenses of the | .. teacher are approximately as follows: i ..., Board and room, $240; clothes, $75; laundry, $35; railroad fare to school, $10; benevolences, $15; books and i periodicals, $10; or a total expense | of $385. | _On the other ‘hand the ‘expenses of th ho 1semaid are as follows: Clothes, ST i $40; benevolences, $5; board and room, laundry, railroad fare A and books are of no expense. The total apbroximate expenses for the house- maid are, therelg 5 about $45.

GIBBONS CLEVEREST FIGHTER.; MWFARLAND WAS; DOPE POOR Knockout Not Probable; St. Paul Phantom “Expected to Win; Purse $32,500. (By George R. Holmes.) (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Sept. 11.—Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, who is generally credited with being the cleverest fighter in the ring today, and Packey McFar- land of Chicago, who WAS generally credited with all that two or three years ago, wiil come together at the Brighton Motordrome tonight. The tilt is scheduled to last ten rounds, and there is no reason to doubt that it will be any shorter, barring lucky punches. Fight Causes Talk. The pugilistic world has been fed up for a month for this bout. Past records have been delved into, almost everyone who ever heard of a boxing glove has speculated on its outcome. and when it is all simmered down this big feature stands out aboye the rest—that no one, not ever McFar- land or Gibbons themselves—knows any more about it than anyone else. And that is NOTHING. No “Dope” On Fighters. Jim Jeffries proved to the boxing world at Reno five years ago that there is no ‘“dope” on a fighter who has been out of the game several years. Jeff was going better than he had ever gone in his life, accord- ing to the men who watched him train—he had speed, agility, the punch—everything that had carried him to the front ranks of boxers. But after he got into the ring he didn’t have anything except a mem- ory of what had been, and a mighty sore head. Packey Out 2 Years. McFarland has been out of the game over two years. In that time he hasn’t boxed much even in prac- tice and any dub of an athletic judge can testify that it doesn’t take a man long to go back when he isn’t work- ing; that a paunch is easier acquired than removed. Not that Packey has a paunch, however, at least extern- ally. He looks, and says he is, in shape. There can be but little doubt that 1% Prlhciples—Mik Glbbons,' St. Paul; Packey McFarland, Chicago.

All records stand shattered for the amount paid for a ten-round fight, | and a no-decision affair, at that: Opinions vary like the breeze as o’ out.. W. C. Marshall, some New York sporting men and sport writers are behind the affair. The record book shows that Me-: Farland has engaged in over a hun- dred fights since broke into the game. He has won practically all of these —barring the no-decision bouts. He won over Freddie Welsh in Milwau- kee in 1908, knocked out Jimmy Britt the same year, and later fought Welsh a 25-round draw., Ray Bronson of Indianapolis held him to a 20-round draw—and there was a lot of kick- ing on the decision—in New Orleans. ortnnt chnnga_ B i e v e sake you should a.nhdpaee turning point. how the promoters are going to come'|* H ERT colies a time in'every %mnn () life when her organism unflergoes = A\ 7 This is a ctme « Dr. Plerce’s Favorite: rmmo:; s been recommended for over'forty ears as & tonic for ‘Wwomen who, "g;n of life.”” It is b::e clrculnh?m of thb‘b action of the nppenr. ‘Happi fleesifid eofl'.eh g94. b3e ifi‘ Sold in tadlet or liquid form by Medicine .
