Jones, in which Dr. J. P. Brown had Mr. Jones indicted for purchasing: supplies from the Fairmont Garage for township use was trfed before Recorder A. E. Floyd here yesterday.

Judge Floyd imposed a fine of one penny. WUson Warns Congress , Against Usurping Powers of Executive.

The speaker stated that Lam- berton was not sending the number of Doys and .gins to college that It should, and declared that there were none who could not go to college if they so wished. Mr. Johnson told of ! the advantage a college man or wom- an has over those who stop wnen they finish high- school and also of the advantages of those who finish high school work over thos' who do not. The chances of the high school grad uate are 100 times greater . than those of one who does not enter high school, while the chances of th col lege graduates are 1000 times greater than the chance of those who try to go through life uneducated.
