BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS : AND TEACHERS By Supt P. M. Allison. The spelling contest to be held in the various townships next Saturday, March 16th, is for pupils to attend the county contest to select a pupil to at- tend the State contest. I hope that every township in the county will have three representatives in this. Much depends upon the efforts of the teacher along these lines. Should the weather be very bad or the teach- ers not ready they can hold their meeting any time so they can get their pupils ready for Butler by April 6th. Tam pleased to say we are to havé acorn contest without fail this year and all school boys will bg eligible to enter who.are enrolled in school. The particulars will be’ announced later. Now if every teacher will help us to interest the boys in this contest we shall be very much pleased and we can have one of the best contests that we have ever had. Without the help of the teachers we can do but little. Iam very much in hopes that each and every teacher in the connty | will take the matter up with their pupils and interest them. The teachers’ examination is over | and the grades will be ready to mail out about the first of April. Many will likely expect these sooner but it takes time to do this work and we have some other things to do in con-| nection with this. Not many of the| teachers who have taught were in for | this examination so the list is made up largely of those who have never | taught. Mr. Lewis Keele of Cornland school reports the following pupils as spel- ling all the words in a two weeks spelling contest: Ruth, Elmer and Edith Soderstrom, Marie Dark, Teresa | Howard, Otis and Alice Poe, Agnes; Callahan and Lena Simpson. | Miss Alvena Maddy reports a pie supper the proceeds of which were $27.78. They have used this in pur- chasing equipment and library books. They have had a spelling contest with Lone Star and were victorious and are feeling pretty good asa result. Jocie Pedrow has entered the Adrian High School and Ethyle Cox spelled all the words in a two weeks spelling test. Miss Helen Park of El Dorado has/| just held a pie supper and cleared | about $22 and is spending thei money Emulsion in the treatment is of ae OUGHS, COLDS BRONCHITIS CATARRH, GRIPPE AND RHEUMATISM ALL DNUGGISTS sion that the pupils will have toattend some school other than their own to take the examinations. Such is not the intention as they are free to go where it is most convenient. One thing ‘we must not forget to mention is the appreciation of the teachers for the use of the high school auditorium here in Butler for the ex- aminations. This is one of as fine rooms as could be found in the State —modern in every particular and pupils who attend school here may consider themselves fortunate indeed. Itching Stopped Instantly. “Brinkley’s Sanador’’ instantly stops the itching in all cases! of ecze- ma. It isso successful in all cases that J. F. Ludwick, the druggist, wants all sufferers to give it a trial. A large number of eczema remedies being of a sticky, greasy nature, very disagreeable and unpleasant to use, we believe this remedy, which is a mild, soothing liquid, will receive a warm welcome from those who have used ointments. It is sold and guaranteed by J.

He was fond of a damsel, whose father was host— An irascible, gouty old Colonel— So he chose for the story to please them the most A short joke from the Ladies Home Journal, 2 You're aware, I’ve no doubt, of the page that he read, For each month when comes, finds me, With oa wink of my eye and a wag of my head Looking over the page, “That Reminds Me.” Well, our anxious young friend learned the story by heart, With all memory’s cordage he bound it; He was sure ’twould be heard as a rare plece of art, When he thought of the place where he found it. the Journal So he perked up his form and began with the tale, And they hushes, While the men in their nervousness grew very pale And the ladies could not hide their blushes, But he stammered right through till he came to the end gave him the deepest of Ludwick, the druggist, East Side in securing maps and library books.

His sufferings were of untold agony of which none | could know but him, but he bore them | bravely and looked to and trusted! in Him, who doeth all things well. Andrew Herman was a man of sterling character hence a man of real worth. As a business man he was full of energy and snap and went after things with a vim that is not) seen only in a superior man. May! the influence of the life lived by him long live to inspire the young men of! his community to seek with all earnestness the higher, the nobler and the better things, yea the things which God in his infinite love and wisdom has placed within the easy reach of all men. He called his family and friends present to his bedside before his death, bade them a last farewell, told them he was not afraid to die, he was prepared and urged them that they \all prepare to meet him in a higher and better world. He was not afraid for “There will be no dark valley when Jesus comes to gather his loved ones home.”’ | The funeral services were conduct- ed by his pastor, Rev. Thos. Maschoff, at his home on Thursday, March 7, 1912, at 10 o'clock, after which the remains were taken to Butler and laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery to await the call of Him, the Christ, who is the resurrection and the life. He leaves a wife, father and moth- er, one sister and three brothers to} mourn the loss of a loved one. X.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., March 6.—Geo. W. Perkins, former partner of J. P. Morgan, paid a mysterious visit to Theodore Roosevelt here today. Mr. | Perkins’ supposed activity in behalf of Col. Roosevelt and his connection | with the International Harvester Co., have furnished campaign material for the Colonel’s opponents since he de-. clared himself as willing to accept the | presidential nomination. Mr. Perkins slipped ineonspiciously | All that was seen in the village was a high-powered limousine, which sped through the snow at such a clip that no one coult tell wko was within. The New York financier remained only a short time at Sagamore Hill before starting on the return trip to New York. All that Col. Roosevelt would say of the visit was that Mr. Perkins came as the bearer of a message from Senator Dixon, the Colonel’s campaign manager.

There was no Republican party under Lincoln. The party that elected him in 1860 was known in different parts of the country under different names. The party that re-elected him in 1864 was called the National Unail the surrender at Appomattox hundreds of thousands jinto Oyster Bay late this afternoon. ,of Democrats co-operated with the Lincoln party. Many of the greatest and best leaders were Democrats and best leaders were Democrats and /nothing else. The Lincoln party was ‘a war party. The Republican party as we know it, an organization for tariffs and privilege and spoils, came into exist- ence under Grant in 1868 and has been going from bad to worse most of the time ever since. From 1897 until the present day it has maintained itself by selling laws to the tariff pro- tected trusts, from which it has drawn its campaign funds. It is no more possible to restore the party of Lincoln than it is to restore jthe Boston tea party or the Conti- ‘nental Congress.—Republic. | Steel Bill Veto is Expected. | Washington, D.

Why Is It? “This is a marvelous age,” muses the man-with the introspective eye, and another just as good: “We have progressed until we have achieved the wireless telegraph, the horseless car- riage, the noiseless train, the childless home, the bussless telephone and the smell-less match.” “Yes,” agrees the man with the shiny pate, “but why is it the hairless dog is so valuable while the hairless man is an object of amusement?” A Failure. “Think! Think! Oh, if you could only think!” The proud girl in the large-checked skirt turned a calcilum-glare of scorn on the chrysanthemum-decked youth.
