B. Conklin, a former member, and the clerk, D. H. Barnes. The petition recites that Kinzer taught in Hyslop school frqm. Septem­ ber 1 to December 22, 1927, on a verbal contract with , the township board members, that he was never officially employed, but was induced and persuaded to Continue teaching by the defendants, who said that, rather than see him loso, the money, they would personally reimburse him for his services, if payment was not made by the township. - Kinzer was never able to collect any pay, although he was from time :o -time assured by the defendants chat he would eventually receive the. money, the petition says, and was obliged to eke put a living by cutting corn, and doing odd jobs in his spare time until Me was forced to give up the position. Kinzer died last Sep­ tember 25, leaving his’ widow and 6 - year-old daughter, Josephine, in High­ land caunty. The suit is a controversy which arose over the failures of the county board of school examiners to grant Kinzer a teaching certificate. The matter reached the state educational department, Kinzer s friends insisting that he be allower a certificate, At­ torney Marcus McCallister filed the Suit for the plaintiff.

The feed­ ing is that .the state is taking u»o large a shax*e of that tax and more of it should be returned the county, as well as the townships, and mnicipali- ties.

NOVEMBER—what shall we say of wild November ?^ Her harsh winds tear away the fading glories of Nat­ ure’s autumn robe and her" chill rains beat the fallen leaves into a dull brown cax*pet for Mother Earth. Down from the,, darkness of the night sky come floating the cries of ducks and geese, whosq strong wings bear them to reedy feeding-grounds of the sunny South. As the bluebird is the har­ binger of spring, so these denizens of the northland are heralds of the snow squalls and wintry blasts which follow them from more northern lati­ tudes, This then, is November and who among us is so rash as to urge her candidacy as the queen among the months. True it is, sometimes she may smile upon us wjth a grace which rivals that of October, but beware her wiles, for her next glance may chill to the very marrow. Not too easily deceived are the low­ er crea^ux*es whose life depends upon the accuracy with which they judge the rripods of Mother Nature. The frogs which sang in chorus from our marshes and ponds, the toad which stalked its insect prey at ouq- door­ step, and the turtles which spent the sunny summer hours basking on logs and rocks along our streams,—all of these have disappeared. Not often do wq. chance upon them in their winter quarters, but when we do happen up­ on them, they seem so lifeless as to quite deceive us. Occasionally, during a period of warm sunny days in November, -we may discover a snake still above ground and active, but^hey arc usual­ ly gone ere this. Not infrequently a considerable number of individuals Will collect in a common,den, perhaps a hollow log. All these cold-blooded animals, whose activity is hut a reflec­ tion of the sun's energy, find little to stix* their sluggish pulses in the weak and slanting r a y s .of the November sun, and in underground hiding places they must await a new call to life, just as surely as do the seed; of plants which lie buried in the soil about and above them. Except where oaks still hold their deadened leaves, the trees now ^tand rearguard of migrants is with us dur­ ing the first half of the .month. Sharp eyes are needed to Identify the- dull colored Sparrows which haunt reedy fields and the thickets along neglected fence rows. Except for a few hardy individuals, our well-known friend the , Robin deserts us and takes its leisure­ ly way to southern feeding grounds. There great flocks collect, which are really quite comparable-to th e black­ bird flocks we see here in early autumn. Oak, groves are now convention halls for the Blue Jays and where beechnuts are numerous we may ex­ pect to find several species of wood­ peckers in solemn conclave assembled. We how bid gopdbye to the last of the furry folk who spend the'Winter in hibernation. Little will they know of the ice and'snow which will soon lode the doors'of their winter quar­ ters. The long-tailed Jumping Mouse of- our woodlands has retired to; a tiny den under a log or in the heart of a stump. There, curled into a little ball of gray fur it sleeps through the months to come. The chipmunk, which so lately scurried across the fallen leaves afid paused to scold us a t its burrow door, is now safely under­ ground, perhaps dreaming of - the riches it possesses in its hidden store of nuts and acorns, The Spermophiles, qur neafest-of-kin to the Prairie Doga, have plugged the mouths of their tunnels and the snow will soon drift across the fields where these indus­ trious little rodents busied themselves during the hot’summer days. , The fat old' Groundhog (or Wood­ chuck, if you prefer), who feasted up­ on sweet corn and pilfered garden truck or nibbled tender clover near the opening of his hillside den—he too, has decided it is time to retire. A nap of several months duration must he quite to the liking of this lazy cousin of the squirrels, for he always impresses us as a fellow who is really quite fond of leisure a&d repese. Last month wo wrote of October as the glorious golden sunset of the year. This then is the gathering of the dusk and as the shadows lengthen and (ihc darkness falls, Mother Natur* stripped of foliage, and as in early tucks the children away to sleep until spring, the activities of our feathered a new morn and a new spring shall friends are more easily followed.
