WAS. ORGANIZED 95 YEARS ABO Trouble Has Existed Since Pastor Pleaded Guilty to Tax Dodging - _ bast September. p— Judge Divelbiss recently- granted to Jesse Brown and Jameé Stevenson, di- rectors of the Primitive Baptist church at New Hope, eight miles southwest of the other directors of the church prop- erty from having possession -of- same for purposes of religious worship or other purposes. This church was organized in 1820, and is one of the four churches of the Primitive Baptist denomination in that part of the state, The trouble has existed in the church since last Sep: tember. William T. Brown, who was the pastor of the church, was indicted by a special grand jury on a charge of giving to the county assessor false assessment lists, and he was brought before Judge Divelbiss with fifteen other men indicted at the same time. Elder Brown pleaded guilty to the charge and paid a fine-of $200, Immediately following the pastor's trouble in the circuit court the two factions split, and each made an effort to control and use the church prop- erty. The entire neighborhood became aroused-and the members of the con- gregation talked of the trouble until the gossip has led up to the bringing of the case into, court, A large number of witnesses will ap- pear at Richmond May 17 at the trial. Enlarge a Big Medic School. The new buildings of the medical school of Washington University at St. Louis were dedicated with an elab- orate program recently.

' SCHOOL NOTES. By A.C. Moreland, County Superintendant of ‘ Behools, District Clerk supplies have been mailed. Not knowing the newly elected clerks,.I sent supplies to the ones serving last year. Where there are:now newly elected clerks, I shall be pleased if they will get the sup- plies from the old clerks, fill them out and mail to me at their earliest convenience. Several districts lost their State aid last year by the clerks being negligent in attending to the above duties. I shall be pleased to help you in‘any way I can.— . Several teachers have called, and letters are being received every day regarding positions for next’ year. It is necessary for me to have a. cor- rect list of school board members, so that I may direct the teachers proper- ly. I shall appreciate it very much if each clerk will send me a correct list of the school board. Please notify mieas soon as a teacher has been employed, I would not advise the hiring of a teacher who is not willing to do the Reading Circle Work. Reading Circle work is necessary for progress in school work, and I am going to require each teacher to do this work in some form, soI am go- ing to ask the school board members to aid me in this by not employing a teacher who will not agree to do the work. The regular teacher’s examination will be given June 4 and 5. These examinations will be held in the high school building in Butler. The order of subjects for the first day is: Geography, language, algebra, ortho- graphy, grammar, arithmetic, litera- ture and reading. For the second day: Civil government, U.S. history, agriculture, algebra, advanced sci- ence, physiology, writing, pedagogy, literature, advanced history. I shall expect each teacher to write on the questions called tor. If they don’t I shall make record of it, and consider it a failure. I have made this ruling because I consider it more fair for all concerned. Those taking the exam- inations in March and paying their fee will be entitled to take the exam- inations in June and in August with- out further charges. Several teach- ers who hold certificates have asked if they would be entitled to take the examinations in order to raise the grades“ on their certificates. This could not be done without a fee of three dollars. I do not consider it advisable, as it would mean extra ex- pense for the applicant. Rural graduation exercises will be held in the circuit court room Satur- day, May 22. ‘I shall publish next week the names of all pupils who shall receive diplomas.

M. Talbert of the Butler Christian church. Elder Talbert is avery capable and fluent speaker, and is highly regarded by all who know him. 1 4m sure he will corn is laid by of turning sheep in to eat the cowpeas? Will cowpeas hurt the sheep in any way?” A number of Missouri farmers last year reported that by sowing cowpeas or soy beans in corn they were able} year and who live south of the south- ern line of Iowa will make no mistake in planting two or three pecks of cow- | peas or soy beans per acre with their corn by means of a cowpea planter at- | tachment. The biggest objection is | the high cost of cowpea and soy bean seed. Cowpeas and soy beans both furnish a splendid pasture for sheep and hogs in the late summer and fall. There is some danger of cowpeas bloating sheep if the sheep are turned on when they are wet. This, how- ever, may be avoided by a little care. at Springfield from injuries he receiv- ed in a motorcycle race when he was hurled against a fence while his; ma- chine was making sixty miles an hour.
