TO SAVE FINE BUILDING.
B> Associated Press.
Chicago, March 7.—One corner of
the old Field Museum in Jackson
Park, formerly the Fine Arts Pal-
ace of the Columbian Exposition, is
to be restored by the American So-
ciety of Architects in an effort to
raise funds for the restoration of the
entire structuie, said to be the fin-
est example of pure classic structure
in North America.
Six thousand Chicago club women
arc raising the money necessary to
refinish the pavilion at the north-
east tip of the building to its orig-
inal state. The work will co*t $7,-
£00. A campaign will then be un-
dertaken to finance the remainder
of the work, using the restored pa-
vilion as an example of what can be
cone.
The vast building has stood empty
since the Field Museum moved to its
new home in Grant Park a year ago.
The ravages of thirty winters, with
their lake gales, have left indelible
counsel.
Attorney Asa
‘Did not Mrs. Obenchain meet you
‘he station when you arrived
Angeles on July 24, last?”
Burch, who was visibly affected
ty the surprise of having been called
to the stand and sworn in as a wit-
ness without warning, replied:
“1 am not advised by my counsel
and I cannot answer.”
The prosecutor then asked him
how he had come to stop at a certain
hotel. Burch, instead of replying,
turned to the judge and asked that
I he be permitted to have the advice
of his counsei. The request was
granted and examination postponed.

FISK AND FOSTER
EMPLOYED AGAIN
The school board, at a meeting
held last night, re-employed H. Clay
Fisk as superintendent of the No-
wata Public Schools, and Eli Foster
as principal. No action was taken
as to the other members of the fac-
ulty for the 1922-1923 school year,
according to one of the members of
the board.
The employment of the present
superintendent and principal will
meet with the general approval of
the patrons of the school. Both
are very capable school men, and
under their guidance the Nowata
schools have forged to the front
rank.
ORGANIZE MANY
CLUBS IN COUNTY
The county agent is busy organ-
izing corn and potato clubs among
the boys and girls of the county.
The county wide corn club now has
31 members, principally among the
boys whose homes are in the creek
and river bottoms. All of the boys
will plant the same kind of corn and
will cultivate it according to the
latest improved methods.
In the Fairhope neighborhood
there is being organized a potato
club. Each of the members of the
club will plant one-twentieth of an
acre to Irish or sweet potatoes, or
both. The seed will be uniform.
Great interest is being shown in the
club work in the Fairhope school
district.
