June IT.?A treat scarci ty of school teachers of ?'v< rv grade rating is now predominant through out the State of North Carolina, ac cording to Jules II.

It was stated that the bureau could ?se Immediate ly at least 100 teachers of various grades.

Russians left Poland in 1915 under* pressure of the German advance i they took with them almost all the I church bells. In order not to leave J them for the Germans who would [ have seized them for their copper. ? Thus for a number of years most ' Polish towns and villages have been without the music of the bells. Now these; bells are "beli\g re- ! turned under the treaty of Riga. Up on arrival they w^re decked with green, and the new bells of Warsaw, purchased since the war, greeted Ihem with a merry peal. The Warsaw Opera gave a special concert, the musical selections all | relating to bells. Twelve thousand' bells are still in Russia, but. they! will all be returned to Poland in: due course.

New York, by Alexander Smith &l Sons Carpet Company, said to be the) largest manufacturers of carpets and rugs in the world and now carrying a series of advertisements in this newspaper. If all the wool used in these* mills were reckoned according to the num ber of animals from which it is sln-ar?-d. a year's output at the mills would represent the clip from 9, 000.000 sheep?a number which would constitute herds beyond the imagination.
