While “leading citizens” are peace rea eally debating the question whether or not teachers shall af- filiate with organized labor—as they have been doing in great numbers recently, the profession is collapsing for mere lack of something to keep it alive’. During the last year, the lead- ing towns and cities of Texas lost 34 per cent of their male teachers and 20 per cent of their female teachers. 78 per cent of these losses were from the bet- ter teachers, and only 22 per cent from the poorer ones. “The backbone of our nation is its School system. If we al- low it to deteriorate by the with- drawal of its most capable lead- ers the Nation will pay the pen- alty.” Reports received by the Nat- ional Education Association from Normal School presidents show a decrease of over 30 per cent in four years in the finished product of these schools, and in order to induce promising young men and women to enter the teaching profession, there must be: 1. Higher salaries for train- ed teachers. 2. Higher professional stand- ards, excluding the incompeten- ant unprepared. 3.

Recently Sir Walter Raleigh went to Philadelphia and a uni- versity of Pennsylvania profes- sor went to meet him at Broad Street Station. Sir Walter Raleigh is professor of English and sometimes writes poetry. The U. of P. professor had never seen the English scholar, but at- tained a fairly. good description of him. The first man to get off the train seemed to tally with it, so this is the conversa- tion that ensued: “Excuse me sir,” are you Sir Walter Raleigh” “No you fool, I’m Christopher Columbus”.

Steltz of Genesee The Genesee News, of last week had the following to say about the death and burial of Mrs. W. A. McMahon: Mrs. W. A, McMahon of the Salmon river country succumbed to an operation in Cottonwood on Monday, November 10, at about 5 o’clock, following a very serious operation, which had been performed that morning in the hope of saving her life. The news of her sudden death came as a distinct shock to her many friends in Genesee, as she had only recently returned home! |from a visit with her parents | here, and although her health} had not been good it was not) known that her condition was} critical Her husband and) young son were with her at the! time of her death, but the sua- denness of her passing prevent- | ed other relatives from reaching | Cottonwood. Elizabeth Thekla Steltz was born September 2, 1887, in South Dakota but came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad) Steltz, to Genesee when about! one year old and spent her girl- hood days and grew to woman-| hood here. She was united in| marriage to William Arthur Mc-| Mahon in February, 1908, and not long after they removed to a | ranch in the Salmon river coun- | try, where they have since resid- ed. To this union three children were born: Jesse, aged 15; | Kathryn, aged 14, and William, aged nine years, who with the | husband survive her and will mourn the loss of a devoted mother and wife. Besides her immediate family rad Steltz, of Genesee, two sis- ters, Mrs. B. B. Caldwell of Genesee and Miss Pauline Steltz of Kamiah, and one brother, Ed- ward Steltz, of Genesee, besides other relatives and many friends will mourn her demise. She was a brave and loving mother, sacrificing her own de- | sires for the sake of the family she no nobly tried to bring to | ings were very beautiful. manhood and womanhood, and |her heroic soul enabled her to | bear her life bravely. The body was brought to Lew- iston by the husband and young son, accompanied by, a friend Mrs. R. A. Nims, of Cottonwood, and the funeral party was met there by her mother and sister, Miss Pauline Steltz, and reached Genesee Tuesday afternoon. The funeral was held from the home of her parents and short but impressive services were conducted by Rev. L. A. Crown, pastor of the Federated church- es. Special music was provid-| ed by a quartet composed of Madames W. W. Burr and L. A. Crown and W. E. English and J. M. Tedford.

Rattlesnakes as a marketable commodity leaped to the fore- ground at the state department of agriculture at Boise Monday. Expressing their desire to reap a rattlesnake harvest in the state, a company with laborato- ries at Cleveland, Ohio, sent in an urgent request for a snake crop report. According to their letterhead, members of the company want to use the reptiles for manufac- turing rattlesnake oil, which they retail at a mere trifle of $2.50 an ounce. | They also manufacture salves balms and liniments, the rattle-) sanke oil being one of the ingre- dients. The letter, which may (but probably will not) open a new bureau in, the agricultural de- partment, follows: “Would you kindly inform me what part of the state is mostiy infested with rattlesnakes and how many rattlesnakes do you judge to the best of your know- ledge are in the state, as we have formed a company to catch rat- tlesnakes and therefore intend to send men out to catch these snakes. Any information you can give on this subject will be greatly appreciated. Also, what month of the year is best for catching these snakes in your state?” The agricultural experts, un- able to find either a crop ora market report on rattlesnakes, forwarded the letter to the state game warden, assuming that the snakes, not being dom- estic creatures, must come under his department.
