State Teachers Asso clation will hold tts" annual meeting at Kansas City December 29th to 81s6 inclusive. State Superintend ent Howard # Gass, has prepared an elaborate, avd comprehensive pro gram, which promises to be enter taining and {nstructive to the par ticipants. We notice that Superin- tendent of Bates county schools, Prof. A. L. Ives, 1s on the program for Tuesday, Dec. 29th with the aub- ject; “Dutes of County Supertntend- ent or Commissioner as regards the use of the official course of study of rural teachers.” Judging from Su- perintendent Ives’ success along thoee lines in the past few vears, we doubt if there is a teacher in the state bet- ter qualified to handle that subject. We notice that the most prominent educators of the state are selected on the program. Every Bates coun- ty teacher, who possibly can, should attend this meetfng and join the state association. Odd Fellows’ Big Day. The Grand Master I. 0. 0. F. of Missouri, 1a pursuance of a long es- tablished custom, has designated the 21st day of December, 1908, as the Ble Day of Odd Fellowship in Mo. On that day every lodge in the state {s to meet and have at least one can- didate in each degree and as many more as possible. Bates Lodge 180, has already three candidates and ex- pects more before that evening. Every member of the Lodge fs ex pected to be present at that meeting and answer to roll call. Aside from the business meeting and degree work, there will be # social gather- ing and refreshments will be served. All visiting brothers will be made welcome. Athol Club House Burned. The Athol Club House, built by C E. Webster and leased by the Kansas City Gun Club, was destroyed by fire early Friday morning. The origin of the fire appears to bea mystery. Mr. Webster’s residence adjoined {t dp the east and was occupied by his family. The club house proper was vacant. So far as learned no {neur- ance was carried. This club house erected inthe pastfew years, was one of the finest and best equipped for the purpose in the state and cost several thousand dollars. It was nota paying venture and {¢ is ex. tremely doubtful if it {sever rebuilt. Considerable property, consisting of guns and amunition, belonging to members of the club, was burned.
