Inquiries made among farmers
from all sections of the county at
tending the republican county con-
vention last week, Indicate that har-
vest will be in full blast this week.
The high percentage of the small
grain crop, they say, has fallen off
considerably by reason OF dry hot
weather the past two weeks, but in
all cases a comparison of crops
places this year ahead OF any crop
since 1892. In Several sections a To-
cal shower or two make an excellent
small grain crop sure. On the eye OF
harvest. the Press believes it is safe
to say that all crops in the county
are the best for several years.

The two mile bike race at the oval
Saturday evening was hotly con-
tested. There were three starters,
Albert Bosley, DIST. Lawrence, Patsy
Dunn and Raleigh Mead of Miller.
The first mile was a hot clip with
Dunn setting the pace, Bosley follow
ing close, and alternating in leading.
"Meady'' never sought first place,
but quietly trailed behind until four
and one half laps had been made,
when he shot ahead. Patsey's pace
was too fast and he was worked
out. Bosley appeared to have just
n little squirt left IN him, which
wasn't sufficient, as Mead contin-
ued the last lap about as he pleased,
winning fret, Bosley second. This
was the best bike race ever seen in
the county. Charley Sontag beat
Gene Byam in a very close foot race.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
BY SUPERINTENDENT MORTON.

Pupils often learn a lessonin arith-
metic, grammar and geography, ETC.,
without compromising their mean-
ing and without seeing any practi-
cal benefit that may be derived by
knowing the definition. They learn
the definition or statement of a prin-
cipal without going back OF the
words used to express the thing de-
fined. When asked the definition of
a noun, they do not think of the
noun but Of the definition; they re-
call the words, the page on which
they are found; they call to mind
the fact that the definition is on the
left hand page near the top; they
then, by some mental operation that
need not here be explained, recall
the words of the definition, and the
teacher is quite often satisfied. Al
most every teacher will acknowledge
that this is true in many schools, he
will flatter himself that such is not the
case in his own school. He is salts
fed that his pupils "get the thought"
and that they know what
to do with said Thought
when they find it. But to test this
matter, suppose that some questions
such as the following be asked the
class: "Why do you learn defni-

City Government of Washington. ID. C.

Home-rule in local affairs is a vital
principle in our government. 1t is en-
trenched in our constitution, which
reserves to local authority every right
not acknowledgements to the general
government. Yet in matters entirely
local, in school affairs. in health meas
ures, Washington citizens have no
voice nor control over the expenditure
of a single dollar of their taxes. In
other cities the power to correct official
abuses is in the hands of the people;
here, whatever the plumbers commit
ted, it is hard to locate the guilty
ones What is worse, though the
guilty be known, the people are pow
erless to rebuke them at the polls.
The spectacle, meanwhile, of a body
chosen to legislate for sixty-fve mil
lion people diverted into a city council
