under the non high school district
board. It will be mandatory on all
such pupils to have their eligibility
estaDUsned under the new system
before they may attend a high
school and be eligible to be covered
by tuition payments.
Under the new system the eligi
bility of pupils will be checked In
advance and an eligibility certificate
Issued to each, instead of checking
the eligibility from diplomas and
working it out at the end of the
term. The new system will expedite
payments and will be a safeguard
to high schools, stated the county
superintendent.
Every pupil affected will be re
quired to fill out an Information
blank before the certificate of eli
gibility is issued. These will be
available from all high school prin
cipals and will be in their hands
several days ahead of school open
ing. They can also be secured at
the county superintendent's office.
This Information blank will give
all of the data as to the pupil, his
educational record, a statement as
to the high school he plans to attend
and other essential data. When the
Information blank is found in order
the eligibility certificate is Issued
and Is evidence he Is entitled to tul
tlon. This certificate will be taken
up by the high school principal
when the pupil registers and Is re
tained by him. A new certificate
will be Issued each year. Under no
condition can the pupil register and
be eligible for tuition without such
certificate. No tuition will be
paid for any pupil for whom an in
formation blank is not on file in
the county superintendent's office.
The non-high school board reserves
the right to revoke any certificate
found based on false or incorrect
statements.

Victims of Fire
Klamath Falls, Aug. 21 (JFy Six hundred homeless per

Some of the victims, however, cam
ped near the ruins of Pine Ridge.
Cause of the fire that reduced the
tiny forest community to ruins in
nearly two hours remained un

burned nearly 200 homes, a company-owned
hotel and 850,000 worth

OWEN HARDING, who knows the woods, streams, and pottages of
his native Maine country like a book, also proves a good guide on ciga
rette quality, as he shares his favorite brand with Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Stanford, from down in New York City. "Camels are a longer-burning
cigarette," Owen says, "and that means mon smokin' for my money. It
means, too, that Camels taste cooler... milder. Puff for puff, Camels put
more pleasure ia smoking and a big extra measure of it."
Observe the way your cigarette burns. Recent impartial laboratory find
ings confirm the experience of Camel smokers. Camels are known to
bum longer, delivering steadily to smokers more pleasure per puff and
more puffs per pack. And all the while you get the mild, ripe goodness
of finer, more expensive tobaccos, drawn from the largest treasure of
choice tobaccos ever gathered in one place. Camels are the quality ciga
