Acts, l. 8. Do we doubt sometimes, In mo ments of bitterness or unrest, whether as the Apostle Paul put It God has shlned Into our hearts? We may be quite unconvinced that we have the power to love our neighbor. But the fact that we are not con scious of a power Is no proof that the power Is not there. For what long eons of time mankind lived uncon scious of electrical power which was capable, as we now know, of moving trains, of lighting and heating houses, and of performing countless other useful acts. What powers may still be undis covered in our world, and In our selves I Until we succeed In using a power, we are not convinced that it is there. So, only by using the power that God has given us within, can we convince ourselves that we really have it. Ing the financial status of this school district.

Stone, here to address a dairymen's convention, said livestock dealers at tacking the board were angry because of Its aid In co-operative marketing, which they feared might damage their business. ; , Referring to Wilson's assertion that "the board has used its funds to de- .. press the price of hogs through di rect marketing" Stone sold: "Direct marketing was developed before the farm board was , ever thought of. The only thing the Na tional Livestock Marketing associs, tlon has done Is to help sell products for Its members at the best possible prices.

Salary Cut Atlmbler Fails to Carry By Mrs. liny Wilson (Observer Correspondent) IMBLER (Special) The school board held its regulr monthly meet ing Monday night and all teachers were re-elected with the exception of Maurice Wels, who has signed a contract to teach at Perry. Many applications are on file for this po sition but the selection has not been made: A petition was presented to the board, signed by 64 taxpayers of the district, asking for a wage slash of 20 per cent to lncludo all the teachers and the Janitor. The board had obtained Information from 64 schools of the second and third class as to sa.ary schedules and reductions. A motion was made by Director Grant Tucker to reduce the salaries of all the teachers and the janitor 10 per cent. Directors Hale and Wil son voted against the motion. They pointed out that Imbler's grade teachers' salaries were about 10 per cent higher than the minimum now established by similar sized schools and were In favor of establishing a like minimum for these positions. They said they were opposed to the 10 per cent slash on the high school faculty for the reason that the sal aries now paid were at a minimum for similar positions In second and third class districts. They said the Smith-Hughes position was elim inated from discussion because of a recent agreement between the board and Mr. Cooley, state head of voca tional agriculture. During this con ference Mr. Cooley agreed to a cut of approximately $150 and promised additional federal money for this de partment this year. A cut of 10 per cent for the remainder of the faculty would amount to approxi mately $450 but only about 40 per cent of this amount would be made up from this district, the remainder being made up from tuition of high school pupils residing outside the district. Directors Hale and Wilson thus computed the actual saving to the district of a 10 per cent slash of high school teachers at about $200 and said they did not believe it would be economy to take the risk of being obliged to replace members of the faculty for the small amount Involved for the loss of only two pupils from outside districts would more than offset this amount. It wus further pointed out that Imbler school district was In the best financial shape It has been since the building of the school house In 1913. Last year more than $0000 was paid into this district from the tuition of outside students and there are eight more students this year. It is thought by tiie board that the school tax can bo reduced four or five mills this year. The board in computing expenses and Income has concluded that even if the high school were abolished it would result In little or no saving to the tax payers. A large portion of the tax each year goes to pay off bonded in debtedness and tne Interest thereon which would havo to be paid In any event and without a high school the district would bo subjected to the high school tuition tax. They be lieve it to be to the interest of the taxpayers as well as the patrons of the school to maintain the present high standard and not Jeopardize the thousands now received from the high school tuition fund by the em ployment of an Inferior faculty. They further state that If consolida tion can be brought about or the establishment of the county unit system it would bring real relief to the overburdened taxpayers. Some minor reductions were made in the salaries of the high school staff and approximately 10 per cent In the salaries of grade teachers. Complaints were also mode to the board by some taxpayers who thought the district could noo alioru tne ex pense of athletics. The board stated that all the athletic teams were self supporting and that if athletics were abolished the loss of patronage would result in higher taxes.
