LOCATES STOLEN GOODS A large amount of the stolen goods from Rest-a-while Inn on Spring Riv- er, near Lioweii, nas oeen located Dy Demitv Sheriff John Hardwick at Picher, Oklahoma. It was stored in three houses; and consists of silver- ware, about Eighteen pairs of blank ets and other bedding, a suitcase and contents, a guitar and a number of other articles. Thp stolen goods had been taken by four boys fifteen and years of age. These boys, who for- merly lived in Galena have been liv- ing in and near Picher recently; they are Raymond Davis, better known as 'Snake" Davis. Bert Waters, Amos McCoy and Claude Hulsey, who are now under arrest, two of whom are in the local jail awaiting trial.

Mr. Hardwiclc stated today that as yet no definite estimate had been placed on the value of the stolen goods. TEACHERS GET INCREASE -i-t At a rcent meeting of the county high school trustees, the salaries of the faculty were increased to a con- siderable extent in order that an effic- ient corps of teachers might be re-. tamed. i UMLLHH I LHunLHO LtH FOR IliGUER SALARIES 's-i.

Miss Ruth Perkins and Miss Betty It is indeed a deplorable fact that Galena continuously lets go of her best educators because she does not keep abreast of the times by advancing salaries of our teachers as is done everywhere else but in Galena. To illustrate the sentiment of other communities regarding increasing teachers salaries, we clip the follow mg article from the tJolumbus Afl- vocate.

At the meeting of the city school board Monday night. M. L. Catlett was re-elected city superintendent of schools for another. year at a salary of $1900, an increase of $100 for the year.

The board will elect the other teachers at" an adjourned sesVj nn wn WppV frnm Mnndav nicht There will be twenty-three teach- erS to elect for next year. There De several vacancies to fill as three teachers have already resign- ed and several others are expecting to do so. The -low salaries paid teach-; ers are causing them to turn to other lines of occupation in orderto make a living wage. "The highest salary paid grade teachers in Colbmbus is $77.50, Those who receive the maximum are teachers of, long experience.

"The Parent-Teachers' organization in all Kansas towns have been asked to take this matter up, by the state association, which urges that a campaign be made on this one issue of better salaries for the teachers and thus insure better teachers for the schools. It is to be hoped that the members of the Galena Parent-Teachers' Association will bestir themselves" at once regarding this matter. i If rumor is correct a large per cent of our best instructors of the grades, as well as high school, intend leaving for other positions where a reasonable remuneration is given for teachers services, unless salaries are materially increased in Galena.

It has all along seemed inevitable that sooner or later the price of cattle and hogs on the hoof would come down. Now the decline has arrived and probably it is just as inevitable that the packer will be blamed for the drop.

'In 1899 he made a trip around the spending time in Japan, China and India. -From every place visited he collected curios which especially interested him. His col J.

For this collection he erected a special building adjacent to his residence He often talked of bequeathing' this collection to either Monticello or the College of New Jersey, in which he was' educated. In 1849, Perkins joined the throng of "gold "hunters" who made that long perilous' trip, to" the. gold fields of. California. 1 He is survived by wife and two sons, Ira C.

Washington, D. Liquor owners may transfer their stocks legally from one dwelling1 to another only when there is an actual change of residence and then only under special permit, it was announced by the internal revenue bureau, correcting published reports that owners of two or "more dwellings might legally move their stocks from one to the other. "Only where a person actually changes his dwelling may he remove his liquor under special permit to transfer his other household effects to his new permanent residence, pro- vidmg such transfer is not in conflict with state laws," the statement said. "This ruling is not construed to mean, for example, "'that a person who owns a shooting lodge in Maine, a winter residence in Florida, and a private home in New York, may rransier liquor ior Deverage purposes from one to another. Liquor so transported and the vehicles in which it is conveyed are subject to seizure.

The person transporting it is subject to arrest." All persons found violating the federal prohibition enforcement act wM be proceeded against to the limit of the law irrespective of any state statutes legalizing the sale of liquor, it was announced by Commissioner Roper of the internal, revenue bureau. Mr. Roper's ruling resulted from the bill now pending before the New Jersey legislature legalizing the sale and manufacture of beer containing 3 1-2 per cent of alcohol. IS CANDIDATE FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS Pearl Jarrett -of Columbus, will be a candidate at the August primaries for the office of Register of Deeds on the Democratic ticket. Mrs.

Jarrett has had wide experience in the office of Register of Deeds reason of her cev-" en years expedience as an abstractor of titles and has personal knowledge of the many duties of the office. For the past three years she has filled the office of County Secretary of the Cherokee County Mutual Telephone Association and has a wide acquaintance thruout the county. Mrs. Jarrett's name will, appear on the primary ballot at the August primaries on the Democratic ticket, and is the only person mentioned, thus far, for the office of Register of Deeds, in her It is more than likely she will have no opposition in her own ranks. To say that Mrs.

Jarrett is well fitted for the office she aspires, is putting it rather mild. By reason of her wide abstract business, she knows every record in the office of the Register of Deeds and, if will. fill the office with credit to herself and party. MUST SEE CHURCH AS POTENTIAL TWIN-SIX We must be as willing to change our form of church organization as we are to buy automobiles or tractors. We must not limp along on one cylinder.

We must see the church as a potential twin-six. It will be impossible in the coming days as it has been deplorable in the past for demoninational activities to be carried on unrelatedly. Each of the great Christian bodies is fitted to do certain phases of the Kingdom's task, but under the' compulsion of a new. day these tasks must be done not competitively. Protestism divided, competitive, absorbed in pettiness, could not save its ovjn soul, and it is doubtless if such a soul would be worth saving.

We must unite on a greater project -r-the saving of the world. "KEEP IT AND FEED IT TO YOUR BULL" The postal card method of advertising has been extensively adopted by the Kansas City C. of from which place cards are sent broad cast everywhere, each cne containing a i "DO YOU KNOW" sentence or two, giving idea of the greatness and good points of the city. One of; these "cards was recently received by Galena's popular photographer, W. A.

Colvin. On reading the card he saw these lines: DO YOU KNOW -thatl: Kansas City is the largest hay, market in the world? Now, Peeler (Mr. Colvin), being a photographer could not see just of what value information was to him and, as we all know, "Bill" always sees the humor in any situation so he decided a reply was forthcoming and this is the inscription which the same postal card bore back to Kansas-City to the original sender: "What do I' care about hay?
