Allison. | Rockville was the only school visit-| ed this week the remainder of the) time being taken up with the spelling contest and teachers examination: | Every thing is moving very well at Rockville, but the attendance is not so good due to the nice weather and the scarcity of help on the farms. They are thinking of taking rural graduation in this school for the first time since its organization. About all the townships were rep- resented in the spelling contest last Saturday and all made a good show- ing in the work. In Osage and How- ard townships the chairmen did not call for a township contest and these two were not represented. Harry Mills, of West Boone town- ship, won the first prize having spell- ed every word. The second prize was won by Mabel Sunquist, of West Pointtownship. The third by Thelma Hill, of Butler school. Fourth prize | by Ella Anderson. The first prize of | $15 in gold was given by the Missouri State Bank and in addition to this he | secures a scholarship in Draughon’s | Business College, of Kansas City. | The second prize by the Walker-Me- | Capital Stock Deposits.

The teachers examination was well attended and as a result but few schools will be visited soon since I have about four hundred sets of pa- pers to grade and to report on. Mr. I. S. Koontz, of Freeze Out dis- trict, in Spruce township, was in town Monday and delivered the term re- port for their school. This district has one of the best libraries in the county and in fact one of the best equipped buildings in the county in every respect. They recently held a pie supper which netted them $53.32. This will be used in making their house more attractive and comfort- able than it is. Miss Bertha Angle taught the school and all that is neces- sary for her to get the position again is for her to say she will accept it. The next thing of importance in our school work is county graduaffon and we hope that every teacher in the county will help to make this the largest class the county has ever had. The State Supt. has asked that we have a picture taken for his next re- port. Arrangements have been made for examinations in various parts of the county for the accommodation of pupils and teachers.

Several houses and barns have | been burned, and the only hope that | the farmers have for the abatement | of the fire is heavy rain. Many tracts of valuable virgin for- ests have been burned, including} hundreds of budding fruit trees. The air is constantly filled with! smoke from the fires, and, with a! wind shifting in every direction, the | farmers living north and east of | Marshfield are fearing for the crops and their property. | The forest fires which have been raging in the southern tier of coun-| ties in the southwestern part of Mis- B u ! loc k & K e yes souri forthe past few days are re- ——= ported to be under control in Taney county, south of White River, and the fires in Stone county, near the Ar-| kansas line, are not so serious as has | been reported. The great fear that the fires raging | between the State line and Batesville, | Ark., a distance of nearly 200 miles, would continue to expand and cover | the southern counties of this State up to the White River, has about ceased.
