witb the secretary of state vitfcis tho
ilioe required by the constitution.
This decision'of the state's bigheat
court deals a severe blow to twa
movements to refer two of the most
important laws passed by tbe Fourth
legislature. In declaring the petitions
void and thereby allowing the ttro
laws to go into effect, the court by
its decision invalidates the general
revenue bill and several other meas-
ures passed by tbe recent legislature.
The revenue bill was passed on the
day before final adjournment and is
now invalid for the reason that the
constitution requires all revenue bills
to be passed five days before a final
end of the legislature. A number of
bills passed at the close of the ses-
tha
proper time.

that he will be In the race for sheriff

was in town yesterday with a load of
thirty-fiye chickens which he sold to

illustration of practical forethought
which al! farmers will do well to em-

Rhode Island variety and were raised
practically without cost.
MARRIAGE LICNESES.
liigs I wish to make further explana-
tion.
By referring to Section 197 of Ar-
ticle 14 of 1913 School Laws it will be
seen that one of the requirements to
be met in order to get the advantage
of renewing certificates, teachers
must attend fifty per cent of thWse
meetings. These we are holding on
Saturdays in order to lose no time
from our regular school work.
Any school Board should appreciate
the teacher who takes the time and
effort to attend the meetings on these
days, losing no time, increasing her
efficiency and receiving no extra pas
for it. I hope to have the co-opera-
tion of each board in this matter.
Make it as convenient as you can for
your teacher to come.
We are studying Psychology which
has been added to the examination for
certificates. All those making a
grade of 90 per cent will be permit-
ted to have it placed upon their certi-1
ficates. This is an advantage which j To those Absent at Last Meeting:
