} t BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS By Supt. P. M. Allison. The first school visited this week was Hume. They havean enrollment of 190 and a very good attendance, especially among those who come from the country. The work is mov- ing very well with Mr. C. R. Biggs} as principal and Miss Ida Howman, Mr. G. H. Miller, Miss Georgia Davis, Mrs. Kate Seymour and Miss Bessie | Alms as assistants. Miss Davis was! elected to fill out the term left vacant | by Miss Ethel Herrell. While this is | Miss Davis’ first term she is proving to be one of their best teachers. I think the board here would do well to oil the floors of the school rooms. Red Top, in Walnut township, has agood attendance and some good) workers. I left some work with; them to be sent in and I am_ pleased to say that it has been attended to} and is in good form. This school, will have some graduates. Miss | Edith Black, of near Adrian, is teacher and is giving such good satisfaction that they are going to extend the term a month for her. Worland has done some improving since I visited them before and all are | well pleased with it. This school | will have some graduates, too. Miss , Myrtle McCann is teacher and is do- ing good work for them. The pupils | here going to try the spelling contest for us. Mt. Zion recently had a box supper | and cleared about $28, They are} going to use this in securing equip- | ment. This is one of our best schools. | They will have some graduates. Miss | Ellen Mullies is teacher, and while | she has always attended school here ; she is satisfying all concerned. She! expects to attend summer school at| Warrensburg, and the appearances | are that Bates county will have a! larger attendance this year than last. | Virginia is doing well under the di- | rections of Miss Jessie Miller. The| pupils of this school will try the spel- | ling contest and there is but little| question about their succeeding for} they are not afraid of work. This; school will have some graduates. They need a new building to work in next year. ’ Adrian has a very good attendance and a large enrollment of rural pupils, the Ancient History class being large- ly made up from the country schools. One very gratifying thing about our! last year’s class of graduates is that! out of 186, 178 are enrolled in school | again this year and Adrian has a good per cent. of them. The work is pro-| gressing very nicely with Mr. W. T. Hoover as principal and Miss Ethel Grant, Mr. J. H. Inman, Miss Estella | Dempsey, Miss Maggie Hammontree, Miss M. Kate Pharis, Miss E. Ruth Ziegler and Miss Eula Shelton as as- sistants. i Little Deer Creek is doing well, as | it always does, with Miss Ruby Rick- etts teacher. The pupils here are good workers and are ready to try atest any time. They have a good building and keep it in good repair. Olive is one of our new buildings and is a good one but some of the plastering is falling. The pupils here | are good workers and good spellers, | Dovie Simms having won second place in the seventh and eighth year contest. This school won all in the township contest and was represented by Dovie Simms and Roxy Largent. Miss Dora Rush is teacher and is do-| ing good work as usual. Griggs has a light (attendance due to colds and grip. The pupils are not anxious here for a contest and as a result none was started. This is a well equipped school, much of it being due to the efforts of Mr. Ray- mond Holwell. Miss Ruth Rush is! teacher and is one of our most pro- gressive teachers. j Harmony has a light attendance; caused by sickness. This school has a fine lot of workers and all that has been left with them has been prompt- ly attendended to. Some work was left this time and they were on it when I left, some of them having completed theirs. Miss Myrtle Ran- dall is teacher and is doing good will try for alonger period of time. They have won a good name and are ing to try to keep it. Miss Ida Dil- mi is teacher and is teaching them a MEN’S GOOD And Hits Them Hard | All the Fall and Winter Lots go under the Knife Suits, Overcoats, Shirts, Hats, Ete.

On grain alone, under the conceded facts made in the argument of the case in the supreme court it will mean a saving to the producers of at least $650,000.00 an- nually. This law was passed by the legislature in 1909. Immediately after its passage I directed the arrest of a member of the Kansas City Board of Trade for its violation. The party applied to the Supreme Court of Mis- souri for his release on a writ of ha- beas corpus, alleging the act to be unconstitutional.

Twenty-five years ago Professor Budd imported from _ Russia many variety of poplars and” willows, which were scattered all over the Northwest for trial. These were sent out at a bare cost, with only the good of the public in view. And now one ‘variety is attracting .. much attention, for its rapidity of growth. Itis called Norway Poplar, , because the Minnesota Norwegians are growing it extensively. Experi- ment stations and tree specialists are » taking it up. Marvelous stories are told of it. ne It grows nine feet from cuttings in one year. It makes a tree six inches | in diameter in four years, It has, ~ very few branches, and never forks. In fifteen years it reaches a height of . sixty feet, and a circumference of four feet. It is better in every way than the cottonwood, which has proved a money maker for the early settlers. Treated properly it makes. lasting fence posts at a cost of five and for dimension stuff for all build- It is just the tree to plant in the west spots of the farm, where corn fails, and in ten ye:rs it will give a crop worth three hundred dollars per acre.—Farmer and Stock- . man. ; Saves Two Lives. “Neither my sister nor myself might be living to-day, if it had not been for Dr. King’s New Discovery’’ writes A.
