Con Kerwln killed Ed Jones at Gross , November 11 , and Is now in jail at Butte. He fought off a mob all night. The Schools Are Crowded. More room and more teachers are needed for the Norfolk schools. The schools are so crowded at present that part of the pupils will be able to go to school only a half day the balance of the year. Superintendent Hunter has issued a statement. To'the School Patrons of Norfolk : The Hccoml semester of the school year begins January 21. ! Owing to the crowded condition of the wchools It will be necessary to have the plan of double sessions in the kindergart ens during the last half of the school year. This plan means that there will be a first grade division In each of the kindergartens and one of the first grade In the room all at once ; so the kindergarten children will come in the morning only and these divisions of the first grade which will be In the kindergarten rooms , will come In the afternoon. This may oc casion some Inconvenience to parents who have children In these grades , but It is the only plan by which the very largo enrollment of the present school year can be handled by the present teaching corps. The gro > vth of the enrollment hi [ our schools will be soon from the fol lowing table of figures. These figures arc for the end of the third school month of ouch year. They Include no duplication of liftings ! Number enrolled , J90 ? , 1.04ii } 1908 , 1,088 ; 1909. 1,104 ; 1910 , 1,200 ; Increase from 1907 to 1910 , 101. Belonging at end of month , 190'7 , 987 ; 1908 , 1,051 ; 1909 , 1,069 ; 1910 , 1,111 ; increase from 1907 to 1910 , 124. Average daily attendance , third month , 1907 , ! )19 ) ; 1908 , 959 ; 1909 , 999 ; 1910. 1,070 ; increase from 1907 to 1910 , 151. It will be seen from these figures that the enrollment has Increased 161 In three years. The enrollment In the high school has remained prac tically stationary. This Increase Is therefore all In the grades below the high school. There are twenty-three teachers In the grades below the high school. Three years ago there were twenty-one. The schools were suffi ciently full then. We have increased our teaching corps by only two teach ers to handle an Increase of 160 pu pils. pils.Of Of the 1,206 pupils enrolled. 1.073 are In the grades below the high school. With twenty-three teachers for these grades , this Is an average of almost forty-seven pupils per teach er. Fifteen out of the twenty-three grade teachers have an enrollment of forty-five or greater , and nine have over fifty. No teacher can do her best work with over forty pupils In the room. If the number Is greater than this the problem of discipline becomes entirely too great and as sumes an undue importance. It is true that our teachers are doing good \vork splendid work. But entirely too much of that work must neces sarily be discipline Instead of Instruc tion. They would do much more ef fective work If the number of pupils and the problem of discipline were much less. The average number of pupils per teacher in the school should therefore be kept at forty or less. less.The The most crowded condition exists at the Grant school. The overflow there is the principal cause too of the crowded condition In the other schools. One whole grade which should be at the Grant school is at the Lincoln school. Many pupils of the other grades , too , have been com pelled to go to other schools , when they should bo going to the Grant. In spite of this the enrollment in the various rooms of the Grant school Is . as follows : Mrs. Mendenhall , 58 ; Miss Mills , 68 ; Miss Surbor , 49 ; Miss Brush , 52 ; Miss Norris , 57 ; Miss Bowen , 47. All this means that if our schools are to do ofllclent work In the future more rooms and more teachers must be provided. This should bo done before the beginning of another school , year , for with the present number of t rooms and teachers , even the normal Increase of another year cannot be handled. Yours for the schools , Fred M. Hunter. Fifty People on News' Payroll. It has been a big year for The News In all departments. The circulation of the paper has been Increased by several thousand making It more than ever the home paper of northern Ne braska and southern South Dakota. With the Increase In circulation there has come a material Increase In ad vertising patronage. And the paper has kept pace with the situation , add ing many new features and largely In creasing the cost of producing each Issue. Big Addition to Bindery , A large addition hat- been built to The News plant during the year and n great deal of new machinery added. A big department devoted exclusively to binding , ruling and the making of blank books and supplies for coun ties , banks , etc. , has been added on the third Moor. A traveling salesman representing this department has been added and within a short time It In believed that the Huso Publish- lug C'o.'s printing and bindery plant will be as firmly established among the banks , county ofllclals and busi ness men of north Nebraska and southern South Dakota as Its newspa per Is today. Norfolk , a Publishing Center. A number of new publications have been added to this plant's output dur ing the year , the latest being Carl son's Breeders' Review. Today from this publishing plant are Issued : The Norfolk Dally News , the Weekly News-Journal , the Nebraska Work man , the Nebraska School Review , the Baptist News Letter and Carl son's Breeders' Review. This makes Norfolk one of the most Important publishing centers In Nebraska. At It Twenty-two Years. It was twenty-two years ago last month that W. N. Huse came to Nor folk and bought The Daily News : It had been running as a daily paper for about a year then , so that It has now been issued as a daily for more than twenty-three years , twenty-two of them under the present manage ment , Fifty People on Payroll. Twenty years ago there were eight employes In The News plant. Today there are fifty people on Jhe payroll the largest payroll In Norfolk ex cepting that of the Northwestern rail road company. This to Be a Horse Center. Carlson's Breeders' Review : It has been a rule with most commer cial organizations to look after and encourage the growth and business development of the cities In which they were located , without giving aid or encouragement to the farmers around them. Thin has been a short sighted policy , for no city located in a strictly agricultural community can enjoy prosperity beyond the general prosperity of the country In which the city may be located. This has some times resulted in a feeling upon the part of the fanners which Is not good for any community. Such a condition ib neither good for the city nor for the farmer. Between the merchant and the farmer only a feeling of the best fellowship should prevail. The merchant needs the farmer , for be la the only source of production. The farmer needs the merchant and the city for It Is the city only which makes our best schools possible. Fur ther than this remains the fact that the best market the farmer has ever had Is his home market. The Norfolk Commerelrtl dull has ; et a new * standard in the manner Ut developing communities. It has not only bfi m the building of good roads In the N'drf'ilk trade territory , but it believes that ! he fertility of the soil can be best nuii/rtnlned / by breeding high class live stoc'fc.To this end , it is arranging for fnfpwtfng fifty good , young draft mares ! 0 be dis tributed among the farmers of' fite dis trict at exact cost. This In time ' bo followed by a like distribution of other classes of stock. This progres sive move upon the part of the Nor folk Commercial club will within a few years result In making Norfolk a breeding and distributing center of much note. Farmers living within the reach of such aid as this are to be congratu lated. It now only remains for them to do their part In the way of judic ious mating , good care and good feed ing , to make such a venture most pro fitable to them and the community alike. There Is another side to this mat ter which must not be overlooked. What think you of the ambitions and Ideals of the boy or the girl , reared nmld well kept surroundings and high ly bred stock , as compared with those reared amid unseemly surroundings ind scrub stock ? There Is something nbout well bred live stock that prompts us to better effort as does nothing else. Details of Molssant's Death , New Orleans , Dec. 31. John B. Molssant , daring American aviator , confident of adding to his many laur- Jls of the air the Mlchllen cup record 'or 1910 , fell to his death at 9:55 : this nornlng while making a preliminary light. Willie preparing to make a landing ) n a special field selected for the Wlchllen cup trial twelve miles west if New Orleans and along the bank > f the Mississippi river , Molssant was .hrown from a Blerlot monoplane md landed on his head thirty-six feet 'rom where the machine struck the ; round. His Neck Was Broken. His neck was broken , producing loath within ten seconds , according o the coroner. A moment after Molssant struck ho ground , falling In high weeds to the right of the field , some workmen picked him up. A special train of flat cars was standing near the scene of the acci dent , nnd the body was placed aboard and brought to the city. Wind apparently was the cause of the accident. Molssant , guided by the white flags which lined the course , rounded the circle twice In an effort to find n landing place. The third time around , the wind , which was blowing about fifteen miles across the course , drove the machine toward the earth. Molssant in trying to get back over the grounds swerved suddenly to the left and then attempted his famous right circle , considered so dangerous that there Is but one other man eovr attempted It. Machine Dashes to Earth , At this Instant the wind caught the machine , It tipped , pointed Its nose directly at the ground and came down like a ( lash , while Molssant was hurl ed forth and fell head first. Molssant had a sister married , llv- In San Francisco. Two sisters were with him here , Marlda and Lulu. One brother , Alfred J. , was the president of the International Aviators associa tion. Ho was not present when the accident occurred , Moissant also has two brothers In Salvador in the bankIng - Ing business. No arrangements have been made as to the disposition of the body , but It probably will be shipped to Chicago. In 50-Horsepower Blerlot. Moissant was in Reeno Barrier's 50-horsepower Blerlot monoplane , a machine which he had used but two or three times. At the front of the machine almost directly beneath the engine was strapped a 35-pound brass gasoline tank built especially for the Mlchllen cup trial. Molssant ascended at the city park aviation field at 9:35 : a. in. .ind flew across the city and along the banks of the Mississippi river to tht- special 4-mllo course. Seemed in Perfect Control. He appeared to have perfect con trol of the machine , and probably no one will ever be able to explain just what caused the accident. He had In clined his monoplane toward the earth for a landing before It took the fatal plunge. It fell like a plummet and buried the propellers in the soft earth. Marriage Dissolved in Beels Case. In a decree handed down by Judge A. A. Welch in the district court at Madison the marriage relationship be tween Mr. and Mrs. Frank II. Beels of Norfolk was dissolved. The custody of the child was awarded to the mother and the matter of alimony taken under advisement until Satur ilay. The costs of the case were tax ed against the plaintiff. At 3 o'clock Judge Welch had not rendered his decision on the alimony feature. Ends Life With Rifle. Chadron , Neb. , Dec. 31. A. J. Mea < was found dead In his oillco chair , having killed himself with a 22 rifle. SOUTH DAKOTA AT A GLANCE. Harry II. Thompson and Miss Eva May Sly were married at Watertown The safe In the office of the Van Dusen Elevator Co , at Watertown was robbed by srtf > blowers. The liiaiiKlirnltili \ \ which will mark the opening of tiie l gialdlve ( session at I'lerre will be open to tliC' g iio public. Governor Vessey will k''ld the grand march. It Is expected that the legislature will appoint a committee to Invest ! ate conditions at the soldiers' home nf Hot Springs. R. O. Richards and other prominent republican leaders of the state will lobby for a change in the primary laws at the coming session. Judge Botton of Faulkton Is pre siding at the circuit session at Huron In place of Judge Taylor. L. Emery , who nearly severed his jugular vein when he was thrown from a horse against a barbed wire fcW fiear Huron , will recover , K. M. Bonestettor , a homesteader near Trlpp , was Injured in a runaway accident and probably will not re cover. IMPORTANT COURT CASES. Standard OH and Tobacco Cases Are Now to be Given Attention. Washington , Jan. ! ! . Prosecutions by the government designed to ac complish the dissolution of "Stand ard Oil" and of the American Tobac co organizations embodying the great est "anti-trust" light of the genera tion , will be taken up for the second time by the supreme court of the United States at the beginning of its work for the New Year. Continuing Its consideration of affairs of gov ernment , the court will Immediately afterwards give its attention to the constitutionality of the corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrleh tariff act. All three cases atracted world-wide attention when first presented to the court about a year ago. With the object of procuring consideration by a fnll bench , they were set for re-ar gument on January I ! . Intervening cases will cause a delay until prob ably January 5 , when It Is believed the arguments In the tobacco case will begin. The Standard Oil and the corporation tax arguments will follow. About three days will bo re quired for each. The Standard Oil and the tobacco cases put the Sherman anti-trust i'iw ' to the most crucial test In which It lias been subjected during the twen ty years of its existence. The cor poration tax cases place on trial the power of the federal government over corporations. The contention has been made that If the Standard Oil and the tobacco organizations are dis solved the government will bo forced to license corporations In order to allow legitimate business to bo car ried on. The corporation tax decision may dellne the power of the federal government over corporations so as to guide this proposed subsequent leg islation. Incidentally , about $25,000.- OOU annually In taxes depend upon the decision. Although the tobacco case Is to bo argued first , the Standard Oil milt has attracted more attention. Attor ney General Wlckersham has refer red to the Standard Oil case as prob ably the most Important that over came before the court. BRYAN PLACES O. K. ON FOUR. Folk's Name Is First on the Nebras ka n's List. Lincoln , Jan. 3. Disclaiming for a second time any intention of himself becoming a presidential candidate In 1912 , W. J. Bryan , In the Commoner , suggests four democratic possibilities : Joseph W. Folk , Mayor Gaynor , Gov ernor Harmon of Ohio , nnd Governor- elect Wilson of Now Jersey. It Is considered significant that Mr. Bryan has placed Mr. Folk's name first , although ho makes no choice among the four. Discussing the men tion of his own name In connection with letters ho has received Indorsing his position , ho says : "Mr. Bryan Is not a candidate. Ho desires every friend to join with him In the effort to secure as the demo cratic nominee In 1912 a man whoso record will justify the hope that the people can depend upon him. " Discussing the four democratic pos sibilities ho has named , Mr. Bryan draws no distinction , but prlnta their political records as follows : "Folk was an active supporter of Bryan and Sow.ill in 1896 , and has supported the democratic national tic ket in all the presidential campaigns since. "Mayor Gaynor has supported the national ticket in all campaigns. In 1896 ho was conspicuous as a support er of the Chicago platform , Ho was one of the few prominent democrats In the east who stood up for the party creed and the ticket , and UQ lias been faithful ever since.

Paris , Jan. 3. "Liberty , Equality , Fraternity. " or the French equivalent , chiseled In stone , looks down upon lie French population from the front af every public building , but more ind more the people are asking why. 1'ertaln threatened acts of legisla- : lon and performances by the police authorities have served to stimulate .heir wonder recently. Automatic cigar lighters , carried in the pocket and performing their office at the pressure of a button , have gain ed considerable popularity hare. They provide a llame whenever one Is want ed , while 0110 French match In three may be counted upon to disappoint the man who attempts to use It. Hut the order has gone forth that every person seen using one of the little machine Is to be arrested and lined ten francs ( $2) ) . and the auto matic lighter conllHCiitod. There to even talk of enacting a law to pro hibit the IIHC of stationary lighters In the cigar stores. The object of these moves Is to In sure a clear Held for the government matchmaking monopoly. With all sub stitutes out of the way everyone will be compelled to buy the matches man ufactured by the republic of Franco. That many of them refuse to light Is of no Importance. Their purchase helps Insure the national revenue. Several men who dare to carry auto matic lighters have been arrested and lined. Alleged competition with another government monopoly was given u blow at the Auteull race course last Friday. M. Thlobaux and M. Bally stood side by side watching a race. "I believe my horse Is going to win , " said Thlebaux , studying the field with his glasses. "I don't think so. " said Bally. "I'll bet you two to one that It does , " challenged Thlebaux. "Done , " responded his companion , "Fifty dollars to twenty-live. " Then each man was tapped on the shoulder.
