the most important part of this work,
that which is the feature In our high
er schools and the state schools the
work IS graded higher than 1t IS in the
district schools Yet, when examina.-
ton time comes around the country
teacher is sas rigidly quizzed as pro-
fessor.
Then there is another phase Of the
matter to which feel like calling atten-
ton and that is the theories of the
state board people. The work of these
boards is never reduced to the plane of
the country teacher Theories after
theories are enlarged upon and the
hints which might help the country and
small town teacher are always omitted.
In the past few years the school
system of the state seems to have be-
come divided along this line. The high
schools and colleges control the APP
pOlntmentS on the state boards and
their men and women are always push
ed forward. Then ensues the work
which will help the higher courses. The
teacher who is labOring with class OF
people in the country school house
where school life is as a rule short and
the opportunities limited, plods
along without assistance or sug-
drop into the groove along with
the colleges and the smaller
schools are permitted to take care OF
themselves in the best manner which
they can provide in their own minds.
What would like to see is the cOun-
try school system developed. The chill
dren in the country have a right to the
same attention that is bestowed by the
state officer upon the colleges. The
state superintendent should come in
touch with the country schooI-but they
never do so.
THE state superintendent depends
upon the country school constituency
at election time, but seems to have
sudden lapse of memory when that
event is closed. I would like to be
state superintendent for then I would
have the opportunity to bring these two
branches of education into closer touch
with each other. AS it is now conduct
ed they seem to be constantly diverg-
ing, something which seems to me
should by all means be prevented. How
ever, no man who has held the office
seems to have attempted to do this.
One by one they have gotten into the
same groove and so far as the average
is ever paid to them.
True it is that the superintendent
in years passed have advanced wonder
fully eloquent theories concerning the
development of the country school, but
they have never taken the time to at
tempt to make 1T operative. The crii-
ciSms which L have suggested are not
directed against one man or made per
sona1, but 1 have been long convinced
that something in the nature of a re-
form in this direction should be inaug-
urated.
My voice in these matters is a small
one indeed, but I firmly believe that a
majority of the county superintendent
of the state will agree with me in the
statement that the state superintend-
ents pay little or no attention to the
country schools, but do take plenty of
time to make plans and speeches for re-
election

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.
It Has Seldom Been Better Than It
Now Is-Late Rains Helped.

COffeyviue, Nov. 25.-That there is an
unusually good prospect for a large
wheat crop next year is a fact beyond
any doubt. Unless something unseen
now happens, this section of the state
and the northern part of the Indian
Territory will raise a big crop. The ac-
reage in the Territory is small, but if
there is any crop at all, the output will
far exceed this years yield. The late
warm rains have accomplished wonders
in the prospect. Col. A. V. Robinson
OF the McGrew Milling company says
the prospect is now the best that he has
seen since coming to COffeyvilIe several
years ago. He feels much encouraged
at the crop outlook.
Ed 5. Rea, manager of the Rea-Pat-
tersOn mill. says the prospect is better
than it has been for years The farm
ers, he says, are -jubilant over the out
look and are expecting a. big crop I'M
less something unseen now occurs. Mr..
Rea looks for a busy season for grain
and mill men next year.

Kaiser Wilhelm Furnished With
American Food.

Upon instructions of a German ply
sician, a case of Grape-Nuts Food was
lately sent by express to the German
Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm, at Berlin.
This food has come into recognition by
physicians as perhaps the most perfect
form of nourishment in use.
The field grains, barley and wheat,
are blended in proper proportions.
ground and passes through some ten or
twelve different operations, during
which the starch of the grains is turn
ed into grape sugar.
The food is in shape of small gran
ules. perhaps twice the size of a pin
head. These are brittle and covered
with glistening crystals of grape sugar
which has been produced by the pro-
cesses and form out on the surface of
each small granule very much as the
sugar settles and crystalizes on the
end of a hickory or maple log, under
certain conditions.
This product has a delicate sweet
taste, not the strong sweet of cane or
beet sugar but the delicate sweet of
grape sugar, and it is the most easily
digested food known, particularly ap-
plicable TO digestion in the intestinal
tract where so much trouble is nova
days shown from the excessive use of
staTchy foods
Most so-caHed health foods are in
clined to be fiat and disagreeabIe to
the taste, to be used under a sense of
duty. Grape-Nuts, on the contrary, is
not only the highest known form of
health food, but is palatable and de-
licious. Il is thoroughly COOKED before
leaving the factory and can be served
instanter, either cold with a little rich
cream or made into a hot dish by pour
ing some hot milk or cream over it.
Grape-Nuts are also used for dainty
deserts, treated with geIatine or fruit
juices
All first class grocers sell Grape
Nuts Made at Postum Cereal Co.'S
factories in Battle Greek. Mich.

IMPORTANT TAX DECISION.
A General Law Cannot InvaIidate
Special Laws In Local Tax Levies.

Leavenworth. Nov. 25.-An important
decision upon tax deeds, reversing all
decisions upon the subject since 1885,
was made by Judge Myers in the dis
trict court today.
In 1879 a special law was passed
whereby the city of LeavenwOrth was
for general purposes. The county
boards have since then been in the
habit of leVying tax of that amount
In 1885 a general law was passed which
makes mills the maximum rate that
can be levied by any city This law has
been held until today to nullify the
special law of 1879, and many tax
deeds upon property have been multi
fed under the ruling that the rate of
SO mills was excessive and illegal To-
day Judge Hardness, who was repre-
senting the plaintiff in the suit under
trial. raised the point that a general
law can not invaidate a special law.
and that tax deeds based upon the fail
ure of a property owner to pay the 80
mill tax were and are valid.

Write the Doctor.
HEIRS GET TOGETHER.
Agree on a Division of the Estate of
Levi Cook.


WoonsocEet, R. L, Nov. 25.-The heirs
of Levi Lee Cook, late of Minneapolis,
met in this city today and agreed upon
an apportioning of the estate, which is
in the nature of an amicable cOmpro
mise of the nephews and nieces, which
will take the estate out of litigation.
The estate is inventOried at $4,000 and
comprises two hotels in Minneapolis
and other valuable property. Mr.. Cook
died early in the present year in Georgia
and willed his estate to the lawful heirs,
share and share alike.
The will admitted to probate in Min
neapolis and later the heirs asked the
court to define it's provisions. Mime
sofa counsel for the executors told
them that under the laws of that state
the property would go to the twenty
six nephews and nieces. Deceased also
left eleven grand nephews and nieces
and one great grand nephew and some
of these employed counsel to contest
their claims to the estate but tOday's
conference ends all litigation. Some of
the heirs reside in Chicago and others
in Minnesota but a majority are resi-
dents of Rhode Island.

A STRAY NEEDLE.

Coffeyville, Nov. 25.-F'or some time
Postmaster A. B. Powell has suffered
with a pain in his right leg just below
the knee A hard lump formed there
and caused him much pain. He didn't
know what his aiIment was and finally
decided to go to doctor and have an
examination made. Thursday morning
he went to DR. w. H. Wells and when
the doctor cut the lump open he found
a good sized needle imbedded in the
flesh with the point against the bone.
He removed the needle and Major
Powell is now recovering. How the
needle ever got where it was is some
thing that the major can't figure out.
He never knew it was there until it was
removed.
