M, Allison, The Farmers Bank and Duvall- Percival Trust company in keeping with their former interest in the boys | of the county have come forward and | made it possible to have a Boys Corn | Growing Contest in connection with| our school work. It was these peo- ple who a few years ago gave to the | boys of the county an encampment | which proved to be of lasting benefit | to the boys who attended and took part in the work. Now they have | offered to give $50.00 in prizes as fol- | lows: For the best twelve ears of | corn, any variety, $20.00; for the sec- | ond best twelve ears $15; third best twelve ears $10; fourth best twelve | ears $5. This contest is open to any | school boy in Bates county and will be held in connection with the Teach- ers’ Association next October. The judge will be a representative from Fair View, Miss Elsie Park and A. C. Moreland; New Home, New Home, Miss Sylva Goodrum and Miss Nellie March; Charlotte, Belmont, Geo. Me- Michael and Miss Catherine Hawkins; Virginia, Geo. H. Pahlman and Miss Mayme McKibben; Elkhart, Concord, Miss Inez Beck and Miss Ola Largent; Pleasant Valley, Miss Ella McCune and Miss Mary McRoberts; East Boone, Green Valley, Miss Stella Pheasant and Miss Ruth Rush; West Boone, Merwin, S. E. Smith and Miss Edith Black; Woodland, Miss Blanche |Smith and Miss Minnie Christie; West Point, Amsterdam, T. J. Wheel- er and J. L. Gallatin; Homer, Amoret, M. E. Stewart and Miss Grace Darr; Walnut, Worland, Miss Rose Quiett, Miss Emily H. Woodfin and Miss Bertha Cheshier; Foster, W. P. Kin- ion and Miss Maggie McCann; How- ard, Hume, R. E. Stewart and G. H. Miller; Sprague, H. O. Maxey and Lacey Eastburn. The examinations will be held April 9th and 16th. Pupils may take the examination at whichever place suits them best. Several schools were visited but it theState University and will, at this} Would make these notes too long to time, deliver an address on agricul- | ture relating to corn and corn pro-| duction. | The rules governing this contest| will be the same as those governing | the Missouri Boys’ Corn Growing Contest except the local part of the; contest which will be given out in a| few weeks. Now it is hoped that every school boy in the county will try in this con- test. This is an opportunity to learn something about the most valuable crop in the country as_ well as‘to win a prize. And when these people show so much interest in you it is our time to show interest in our-| selves. Full particulars of this con- test will be given in the next two weeks and an enrollment will be} started here in this office so we may know just who is going to try. The following places have been se- lected to hold examinations for coun- ty graduation and the teachers whose names follow will be asked to con- duct the examination: Mingo Twp., McKinley, Miss Iva Dale and W. F. Cox; Spruce, Freeze Out, Miss Bertha Angle and Miss Toledo Redford; Johnstown, Miss Lula Beaman and J. C. Maxey; Deepwater, Cherry Grove, Miss Mattie Harshaw and Miss Stella Ritchey; Hudson, Hudson City, Miss Nellie Sweger and Miss Rosalie speak of all of them, but the Teach- ers’ and Patrons’ Meeting at Papins- ville arranged and conducted by Miss Ethel Grant, the teacher of that school, is worth mentioning, it being one of the best held. Miss Grant arranged a very instructive program which was carried out in full in con- nection with the reading circle of which Miss Pearl Kemper is chair- man. This is not the largest circle in the county but it is one of the best. We especially thank Miss Mary Jack- son and Miss Bertha Kienberger for the duet given by them, also, Miss Grant and Miss Kemper are always ready to help in any of our meetings and never say no when called upon for anything to help our school work. They are two-of our most progres- sive teachers.

Kansas City, Mo., March.—Arous- ed by the activity of a gang of chicken thieves that is said to have chloro- formed and stolen 50,000 chickens in Wyandotte county, Kansas, since last Christmas, the Wyandotte County Horticultural Society had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and con- viction of the perpetrators of the crimes. If the reward of $5,000 is not in- ducement enough to ‘cause sleuths to get out and capture the thieves, the size of the purse will be raised, say members of the society. They want the thieves at any cost. “Get the thieves and we will pay you your price,’’ is what the promot- ers of the war against the purloiners of the fowls tell inquisitive detec- tives. It is said the thieves soak rags in the drug, apply. the rags to the nos- trils of the chickens, put them to sleep and remove them from the roosts, without even so much as a squawk, Little Things Annoy ——m or Please Us Little things annoy us—the little curl of smoke that, if left alone, would soon smudge the furnishin; and make work for the house-wife. There are no annoying little things in the PERFECTION Oil Heater (Equipped with Smokeless Device) They’ve been banished by hard thought and tireless work. !n their stead there are little things that please—that make for comfort and satisfaction. The little self-locking Automatic Smokeless Device that actually prevents smoke—the little lock on the inside of the tube that holds the wick in check—keeps it below the smoke zone, so ac- curately adjusted that it cannct go wrong—these are some of the little things that please—that have contributed to the name and fame of the Perfection Oil Heater. The most satisfying heater you can buy—always ready—easy to manage—always dependable—quickly cleaned. ; F Brass font holds 4 quarts—burns 9 hours.
