As I go among the schools I am 1 of ten struck by the heat appearance of certain of the schools. The cleanness of the house and ground often attract my attention. It seems to me that no schoolhouse is so small or its appearance so shabby that it can not be considered improved by a good and through cleaning. I also feel that neat and clean surroundings will have a fine effect on the children and help to solve the problems of the schools. Therefore, I again urere that every teacher in the county co-operate. m mis movement ana give it tne most hearty support. .1 suggest that you reaa tins letter to your school children an dadd your own appeal to mine in enlisting their heartiest support and co-operation.

HAWLEY RECALLS LAST NORTHERN LIGHT. - "Speaking of the northern light," said Mrs. F. O. Hawley yesterday, "I think the last brilliant one was in 1870 or 1871. It continued sev eral evenings, and was accompanied by a noise like the sound of a train at a distance. I remember that when we heard the noise we won dered what train could be coming in at that time. We wore living, in Maxton at the time.

May Be Denied Ballot for Failure to Register. .''"'; Washington, March 25. Women in several states may be denied a vote in the coming presidential election de spite ratification of the suffrage amendment before November, it is said at the headquarters of ' the national woman's party here, unless changes, are made in registration aws. . In order that women all over the United States may register for the oming election under existing laws. ratification must be completed be fore May 1, 1920, on which date Georgia closes its registration. Ex :ludinjr Georgia, the next date is June 30, when registration closes in Rhode Island. Registration in all other states does not close until Sep tember or October, by which time suffrage leaders are confident the amendment will be ratified. Other requirements, Jiovever, ber side the element of time may nulify the women's vote next November in certain, of the states, especially in the south, unless the legislatures are willing to make necessary changes in the laws. Payment of a poll tax is required in seven of the states; in Florida and Louisiana for the two years previous. Texas law calls for the payment of a poll tax on January 1, Alabama on February 1, and North Carolina and South Carolina on May 1 . Pressure will be brought to bear upon the legislatures, where neces sary, to have registration reopened and the laws' 1 modified, it is said here, but women political loaders hope the changes will be accom plished without difficulty. In states where women have not heretofore been given the privilege of fulfilling the necessary reauirements. nrovi- sion should be made for them to go ''y the settlement must come from the bottom, not from the top."

"If the Joint organization of man agement ar.d employes in the plant or industry fails to reach the collective agreement,", says the reports, "or if without such joint organization, dis putes arise which are not settled by existing agencies, then the conference proposes a .system of settlement through a national industrial board, local regional eonferenee and boards in inquiry. The regional adjustment confer ence proposes a board to consist of four representatives selected by the parties to the dispute and 4 others in their industry chosen by them and familiar with heir problems, It would be presided ever by a trained govern ment official, the regional chairman, who would act as a conciliator.
