I Hi.,,,, j GRAND JURY REPORT FOR | NOVEMBER TERM OF COURT | j j We, the Grand Jury for November ] Term of the Superior Court of Ruth erford County, wish to submit as our ! report the following: j 1. We inspected the office of the • Register of Deeds and found all | records neatly and well kept. We S found, however, that the work of ■ transferring the plats from the old i books to the new books has not been J completed, which makes it rather difficult for one investigating the ; records to locate public plats. We | recommend that this work be rushed [to completion as early as possible. | We also recommend that the Register iof Deeds secure a combination for !the door. i 2. We visited and inspected the of jiice of the Clerk of Superior Court, I and found the records well kept and lin good order. We found, however, that in a few instances guardians have failed to make their report, and we recommend that the Clerk issue citations to these parties to file their reports promptly. 3. We have inspected the court house and find that the building is well kept and in excellent condition. 4. We visited the county jail and | chain gang, and find both in a sat isfactory condition. The plumbing is Jin good order and the bedding is ! sufficient. Prisoners stated that they | were well treated. The sheriff is to ibe commended for the condition of ' jthe jail. ! 5. We inspected tfce county home, j and iind that the same is what the j name implies. It is an institution that j every person in the county should be I proud of. ATI of the inmates are well ! cared for, and the premises, including the farm, barns and stock, are well kept. Mr. and Mrs. Roysier are to he commended for these conditions and the home-like way in which it is conducted. : We wish to thank has Honor, j Judge Michael Schenck, and the so i lieitor for their courteous treatment j and co-operation during this term of I court in 'connection with our services i as a grand jury.

[ I Council has been addressed to tht i | university authorities at Yale form-j ( ulating a series of reforms upholding j j the proposition that a college is pri l; marily a place for study, and only J . incidentally for social and athletic! • recreation. " i This will be refreshing to a num- \ i ber of fathers who are digging in to ! , pay the expenses of their sons at j school and heretofore have been' t : worried because those sons seem to be more interested in sports and in 1 social advantages than in intellectual j ! improvement. ! Of course every healthy boy is in- j terested in athletics and is anxious l • I 'to form proper social connections.{ But the general impression prevails | ; j amoung fathers that boys ought to i go to school to improve themselves I [from the chin up and not from the! | chin down. } It has been too often the case that ! j boys have attached a social stigma to! those who get class marks higher J than C, Those who go in for study j • have been characterized as "charks" J lor "grinds." Reference to one's i studies in social life has been looked i j upon with distain and the only thing 1 jto be hoasted is a place on the j ball team or the rowing crew. Of course a boy is a healthy ani t mal and he doesn't care to be sub- : I # ! jjected to intellectual snobbery, but; jat the same time, this New Haven i memorandum asserts, a college finds j its reason for being and its prestige , in the achievements of the intellec- : , tual minority amoung students. | It has been generally presumed i (that the youth of the country is •-somewhat wild and is out for a good I time only. Those who emphasize the ' j things that are intellectual in any J group of people must necessarily be \ in the minority, but it is refreshing ?to see that this minority has been - BIG REDUCTIONS IN PRICE OF ALL FIRESTONE TIRES AND TUBES FIRESTONE Tires and Tubes, at former pric eSy were reco § n i z cd by many of the best posted buyers as the best buy on the American market U P the FIRESTONE policy of giv % %' the customer more value for less money, 1 1 \Va whenecer possible, thp prices have been greatly \ Jk reduced.

C. i coming in to better repute during the last fifteen years. There are pro bably quite as many serious-minded youths in the country as there ever! were. Youth is not at all out for a j | wastrel life. There still remain quite j la number of the elect. And on the | , whole the prospect for a better world •' | in the future is bright. j This memorandum suggests that! | after the first two years the men ! I who are assiduous in their studies iare to be seperated from those who j are going in for a good time and j barely enough study to get by. The 1 honor men's instructors should be I largely tutorial and they should have j the best men on the faculty. j It is needless to say that this pro- J j posal of the undergraduates has the ; .entire sympathy of the faculty.—Dr. ! Frank Crane. i : A NEW TREASURE SEARCH BEGINS j f Now a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's I first published work, "Tamerlane and ! Other Poems, By a Bostonian," so ! rare that no copy is in the Library ! I of Congress, is reported to have been I sold for a price in excess of $20,000. ' This event ushers in a new "treasure i search" in America. For now that j American authors' first editions are , beginning to fetch big prices, every i farmhouse presents an opportunity. , Somewhere in the attic there may be t ! a volume worth thousands. From Shakespeare to Lewis Car ! roll, first editions of English authors . have been sold for fabulous sume. In I comparison, $20,000 is paltry, but j collectors always search the libraries tand museums of other countries be i fore they fall back on those of their own. The antique furniture of ! Europe was eargerly bid up before our farmhouses were ransacked to I j yield their treasures and we realized | that American antiques could com mand a rich market. We are off for a real start, with real money being paid for an Ameri i can first edition. Poe is in the lead as only six copies of his first book are known to exist. Other sensation al first edition sales are sure to fol low—and throughout the land un known to themselves, are men whose bookshelves hold treasures that will . some day enrich them. SPINDALE ENJOYS !
