ADDRESS BUTLER, MISSOURI, ROUTE NO. 2 BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS By supt PM. All) on The first school visited was Orchard Grove, in Pleasant Gap twp. They are having light attendance due to scarlet fever in the adjoining district. The attendance the first quarter was very Miss Hazel Titus teacher and has her work well classi- fied. The patrons of this district con- template building a new house next year. Is good, Up at Cumpton everything is mov- ing well with Miss Stella Ritchey as teacher. The attendance is good, and the pupils are taking a good interest. Stella Wix made 100 on the test. Over at Oak Grove the attendance was very good being 99 per cent plus. 23 pupils were present every day. They will have a box supper the night of Dec. 9th for the benefit of the library. They have a fine program prepared and will also have a fine supper. They will greatly ap- preciate the attendance of all who can come. Miss Nellie Harvey is teacher. Hudson City has the best school they have had in several years, the pupils are taking a good interest, and Miss Mabel Odneal, the teacher, is giving her best efforts to the work. This school has a fine library, and they only need a better building to make their school first-class. Hazel Dell is doing well as usual under the direction of Miss Rosalie Wix as teacher. The attendance is good, and this building has the best inside walls of any in the county. Brush College has had a coat of paint inside and outside, and, as a re- sult, the building is much improved, and it is appreciated by all. This is one of our best schools, and all are well pleased with the work of Miss Mamie Culver, the teacher. This school has a very nice library. Haynes has a good attendance, and most of the pupils are taking a good interest. Mr. Walter Gragg is teach- er and is making a good effort. He is act getting any benefit of the read- iag circle and teachers meetings, due to poor health. Over at McDavitt they have seven pupils enrolled, two of whom are only four years old making but five of school age. Miss Edith Addleman is teacher and is doing good work. Reynard is doing fine with Mr. A. W. Conrad as teacher. This is one of the most interesting schools in the county, the pupils are good workers, and I doubt if another school in the county equals them on trying to have every lesson well prepared. Rich Valley and Beaver are both do- ing well. Mr. Archie Finley is teach- ing Rich Valley and Mr. Dayton Rice Beaver. Both schools did well on the Doane made 100 on the test. Over at Star they are all doing their best and to say they are succeeding | is unnecessary. It is a real pleasure to visit this school, best school possible. Miss Maude Morgan is teacher and is doing fine work for them. The seventh and eighth year spell- ing contest will be held in Butler! December 17th beginning at 1:30 p. m. were last year except the contest will all be written this year. It is hoped that each township in the county will have representatives in this. I sug- gest that the township chairmen call the contest in their township the week ending the 10th. Each school is entitled to three contestants in the | township contest and each township | three in the county contest. The} same prizes are offered as_ before. This contest will include all of Hunt's | Progressive Speller but not to exceed two hundred vrords will be used. A most successful teachers’ and patrons’ meeting was held at Reynard | the 16th inst. All the teachers in the | township but three were present. Those present were: A. W. Conrad, Archie Finley, Dayton Rice, Miss Mamie Culver, Miss Rosalie Wix, Miss Mabel Odneal and best of all each had prepared to help in the meeting and not one went away with- out saying something. Mr. Conrad had charge of the meeting. Public Sale. Monday, Nov. 28, beginningat 10:30 a. m., sharp.

ButI believe it profitable in raising the best |horses to use also a moderate grain ration, to stimulate rapid growth and ‘early development; my horses; how- ever, have shown no ill effects from pasturing on alfalfa without grain, or jother feed, and I have found such pasturage conducive to health and | prolificacy, maturing animals equal |for service to any reared otherwise. Ihave raised 3-year-olds grown on jalfalfa and a light grain ration to ex- |ceed a ton in weight, carrying all the | good qualities of the breed to which One of the foremost horse breeiers| M | PREPARATION OF ROLLED HAM | ts a Favorite With Almost ~ Every One. One ham, a paste of four and water, browned crumbs. Wipe the ham, and soak it in cold water overnight, then dry it well. Turn it over and with a sharp-peinted knife make an incision through the shank bone and by dint of cutting and scraping turn the flesh | right back from the bone, no matter | where the bone is. Keep the knife as close to the bone as possible so as not to gash the meat in an unsightly | manner. When all the bone is out, roll up the ham from side to side, making it look as much like it was at first as pos- sible, only narrower. Tie it firmly in shape with tape. Wrap it in a thickly | greased paper, then cover with a stiff | paste made of flour and water, Put | the ham on a baking tin in a hot oven and bake it for three and a half hours. Have one heaping tablespoonful of | dripping in the tin With which to baste the ham frequently. When done take off the paste and they belonged. Further, I find using | alfalfa as a horse pasture a m rch | more economical method of raisi ng | horses than any other.”—F rom! Coburn’s ‘‘The Book of Alfalfa.’ Labor to Demand Tariff Cut. Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.—The Knights of Labor of America, theold- est labor organization in the United States, at the close of its thirty-fourth | annual convention here to-day, devid- ed to go to Congress at the approach- | ‘ ; ‘ing session with a sweeping demand | The rules will be exactly as they | for tari? revision | The decision is understood to have | been the result of a unanimous vote. The meeting was behind closed | dors. The resolution which brought | about thedecision is said to havebeen offered by a Western delegate. When the session adjourned dele- | {gates v‘ho gave out information re- | garding the action taken declared that junder the wording of resolution, the organ.zation would demand of Con- | gress, rather than request, a revision | of the tariff. The plan decided upon is to have a} \circular on the desk of each Congress: | man at theopening of the nextsession containing a copy of the resolutions | passed to-day. The action by the Knights of Labor, | it is believed, willhave a far- -reaching | political significance. Throw ’Em Out. In a little Missouri town, in the | present campaign, a Republican can- | didate for Congress was addressing | an audience on the hustings. He paid a high compliment to the Taft | administration and then in spread- | eagle fashion declared. | “And, gentlemen of this thriving little town, I want to assure you that if]am honored by your votes and am sent from this district to the halls of Congress to represent you honest, clean-handed, God-fearing people, the best people that the sun shines upon, I will carry out the policies of the present administration. ”’ Then up jumped a man in the rear of the hall, who shouted: “Don’t take the trouble to carry em out; throw ’ em out. EX, Postoffice Interior Remodeled. The remodeling of the postoffice of this city has been completed, and Postmaster Chambers is to be con- gratulated upon the improvements, the result of which will be a greater facility in handling the large volume of general delivery mail, and a greater convenience to the public. The city delivery section has been moved to the east end of the building and the general delivery window has been moved forward to the center of the mail racks. This will eliminate the congestion heretofore caused by the lines for the delivery window, forming i in front of the lock boxes. More Pasture—Less Grain.

The woman who bakes cake should | heed these little hints: In recipes in which milk fs used as one ingredient never mix sweet and sour together, as that has a tendency Always sift the flour, not merely be- cause there may be dirt in it, but be- cause packing injures its lightness and sifting restores it and makes | bread and cake lighter. Before beginning to mix a cake it is better to collect all the ingredients which enter into it, otherwise one or more of them may be omitted and thus spoil the cake. All cakes without yeast should have the flour mixed in quickly just as it goes into the oven An oven to bake well must have a regular heat threvghout, but particu- ‘arly a gocd heat_at the bottom, with- vt which a cake will not rise in bak ine as in makine. Pickled Peaches. Make eirup of four pounds of sugar ‘o one quart of vinegar, two table ‘roonfuls each of whole cloves, stick innamon broken in pieces tied in a usin bag and boiled in the vinegar ind svgar.. Rub the velvet from a neck of peaches and cook a few at a time in the sirup until tender then ‘ace them in a stene jar or crock, ond after boiling the sirup dowf a lit- pour it over the peaches and cover. These are delicious with oys- ‘ers (fried or escalloped), and will ep a year. tle Gathering. To gather niccly on the sewing mna- chine moke the tension quite loose. Then pul the top thread tense and then the lower one will not pull through, as {fs often the case when you draw it up. It also saves tying the two ends together. Filling for Wall Cracks. Cracks in walls may be filled up with plaster of paris. Mix this with vinegar instead of water. It will then be like putty and can be used with ease. If mixed with water it hardens so soon thet it is very difficult to use it quickly enough. Erul Pastelics. One pound dates, one one pound raisins, one port Put all through meat : ‘er twice.
