But-then a teacher needed more nan scholarship and learning. A eacher-needed strength, as young Jarfield found the day he took of his first students. For two years his school had been a riotous affair.

Every teacher had been either thrashed or frightened out of the community. Either Garfield would have to conquer the first day or take the same road. He chose to conquer and he did ust that. Garfield picked first on school's No. 1 bully and for first time in two years the got a thrashing.

But not oefore he picked up a stick of firewood and aimed It at Garfield's skull. A general tree-tor- dll fight followed after that. The sehoolhouse was practically turned upside down, but Garfleid was on top of the heap when the affair ended. He was on top of the heap, for that matter, for the rest of his life.

Prime Minister George Ktossciv- anofl and British Minister -George' Rendle have conferred several times past few days. There were no announcements but the general be-, lief was that Bulgaria, would favor tho axis powers if a crisis compelled her to make a choice. Tho country depends a great extent on German trade and Is too Isolated from France- and Great Britain- to get Immediate aid from them in case of war. There had been no evidence here of German activity to line up Bulgaria for the axis powers, although ft delegation of prominent Bulgarians will go to Berlin this month for Adolf Hitler's birthday celebration, and it was rumored that Parvan Graganoff, Bulgarian minister to Germany who returned Berlin Saturday after a visit here, had carried an important message Io the German government.
