| BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS It’s up to You to Buy a AND TEACHERS. By County Superintendent P. M. Allison. 2 | Last week-was spent in visiting dis- | trict clerks and examining their rec- jords. About all have been inspected and the work will be finished this | week excepting a few we did not find Jat home. We are pleased to say that in most instances their work is kept |up in good form and the greatest |trouble is a lack of uniformity in | books and the use of a book after it | has served its usefulness. | The oldest record found is in Dis- trict No, 32. This record has the | proceedngs of a meeting held in 1871. |The school board has had the clerk | purchase a new book, but ordered the jold record preserved for the curiosity of future generations of the district. | This we believe is right and will be a source of considerable pleasure in future years. | | Itseems from what statistics we |can gather that Bates county has the ;smallest rural district in the state. Eureka has an area of one and one- fourth square miles. Shannon coun- | ty has the largest district in the state. |It contains thirty-seven and one-half |square miles. The district in Bates has an enumeration list of fifty-three ‘pupils, while the district in Shannon | has but nineteen. | New Home district, in New Home township, has purchased new desks for the entire room and are going to rearrange things in general and best | of all they exercised some good judg- ment and are going to put in single desks.

Several-farmers in this section are fearful that the corn crop will be a failure this season, no matter how fa- vorable the weather may be from now on, In some fields the corn, some of it a foot high, is turning red and dying. | This condition is caused by the mil- | lions of small bugs, termed “corn ice’ by some farmers, which have jinvaded the fields. These bugs, very ; small in size but great in number, be- gin work on the tap root of the corn plant and literally sap the substance from the stalk, thereby killing it. John Garrison, who made aninves- jtigation of the condition of his corn crop, says these pests are working on half the corn in his field, and that some of his neighbors are even worse off. It is sincerely hoped that this con- dition prevails only over a small Jarea, and that at least part of a crop may yet be realized, from what now looks to many as the poorest prospect in years. —R. H. Review. \ A Republican Measure, Too. Collier's Weekly, a publication that supported Mr. Taft for the presi- dency, has this to say of the Taft rail- road bill: “A United States Senator | who is not a Democrat and who was not an insurgent preceding the con- sideration of the railroad bill spoke thus in private conversation: ‘The man who drafted that railroad bill in| the form in which it was first intro- duced in the Senate is the greatest traitor to the American people since Aaron Burr."’. He referred to the cunning intent necessarily back of the subtlety with which the bill was drawn to give the railroads all they want under the appearance of sub- jecting them to restrictions. It re- mains to be said that the Senator is body and has a habit of intellectual accuracy which abhors hyperbole.” | Commoner. MILD LIQUID CURES ECZEMA Skin Sufferers! Salves and Nasty Medicines.
