WORK OF ICE MISSION.
Noble Work Done by a Noble Band of Young
Ladies.

One of the noblest charities instituted
in this city of recent years is what is
known as the Ice Mission Band. The
young ladies who compose this organiza-
ton have done a great work during the
past summer. Ice has been distributed
TO about 260 families. and in all 1850
pounds have been given away, during the
month of August through the pastors and
physicians of the city.
The band has been untirinS in its
efforts to secure funds for this object.
and it is gratifying to know that their
efforts have been richly rewarded.
They have now in the treasury some
thing like $40 in cash which will be
used in distributing ice to those INDECENT
persons who will need it during the
winter.
There is no way of telling in figures
and statistics how much good this so
clety has done. Numbers of Door neopIo
unable to purchase ice when prescribed
by physicians for sickness have been
furnished it free of charge by the Band
MISS Elsie Phelps is PRESIDENT; Miss Ger
trude Lands, vice-president; Miss Emily
Hlggs, secretary, and Miss Nornie Rog-
ers, treasurer.

The Farmers State Bank OF Belpre
has opened Its doors to the public
and is looking for portion of the
business Of this county The officers
are A. Wait, president, S g. Clark,
vice president, T. E. Hardy, secre-
tary, and L. E. Wait, cashier. The
directors are the Off GERS mentioned

and S. J. Rudd. They have built a
neat little tireprocf building and put
| in a good vault that would be found
intact should the building be demol-
ished by either fire Or cyclone. The
stockholders are largely the business
men and farmers ia the vicinity of the
town. The success of an institution
of this kind depends largely on the
personality of the cashier and in this
case the officers have made Il very
happy selection, as the gentleman oc-
cupying this position is OF courteous
bearing and pleasing address who will

business grows and demands more
capital. The people residing in the
eastern part of this county have lorg

graduated on having been able to
satisfy the demand in SO satisfactory
manner. The work OF this insti,u-
tion will be aloAg conservative lines
and we believe il will be successful
from the start.

The Graphic GrowIer

Edwards county, having the interests
of our schools in their hands, would
attend the association the entire day
Friday. Il was All excellent chance
for them to- compara our own teachers
with those of surrounding counties,
to yet acquainted with school matters,
aud TO inform themselves concerning
schools for which they are -respon-
sible.
Lo and behold! Oaly one member
of q school board attended, and that
the woman member of the Kinsley
school board.
The Growler has yet another griev-
ance. There were eighty teachers :
who CAME from outside by train, and
the railroad refused To make the one
and one-third rate on that number ol
certificates. When Buffalo BiHs s
Wild West Show or some political
convention comes along a rate is
made. Any shoddy theatrical troupe
can get rate. But n meeting of the

something.
The Teachers Association was an
event in Kiusley's intellectual life
and every woman in Kinsley who is
Interested in the welfare of her-chil-
dien, the progress OF schools, and the
personnel of the people who teach in
them, ought to have been present AT
least u part of the day. 1t was an
opportunity for the women of Kinsley
To come in touch with the aims and
ideals of teaching, with present-day
methods, that they might be able to
handle the school franchise intelli-
gently. In the morning there We're u
half-dozen present; in the afternoon
another half-dozen. Had it been q
tea party to crafty their desire for
pleasure, or a missionary meeting to
look after the heather children, they
could have taken time to go.

den City, who has worked INCREASINGLY
in its interest. He makes an excellent
presiding officer, being fair, alert and
humorous, three excellent things in a
presiding officer.
The association was great sue
cess. The teachers were the finest
looking body Of people Kinsley has
had the honor of entertaining. Their
broad -mindeduess and culture were
manifest In their bearing, their pro-
gram, and particularly in the discus
sion of all subjects relating to school
interests.
Byron W. Kings lecture, which
closed the teachers association, was
the greatest entertainment ever given
in Kinsley. He captured the audience
before he opened his mouth by his
magnetic personality. His lecture was
scholarly, thoughtful, humorous, pa
thetic. and altogether charming from
each standpoint. Mr.. King is be-
lever in the "Art of Expression"
and devotes his life to teaching it to
others. The church was packed with
the teachers and their friends, and
the lecture was an immense success
from financial as well as an artistic
standpoint.
NOTES BY THE wAYSIDE.
The credit for the Kinsley part in
the association ia due to Prof. Baugh-
er and Supt. Clark, who spared no
effort to promote the success of the
affair
Supt. Clark made reputation as Il
humorist at the Friday morning ses-
sion. He will have TO live up to it
from now on. Many OF his friends
never suspected him OF it before.
Prof. Baugher. being the presiding
officer of the association Friday even
ing, made heroic eff Ort to sit up and
look dignifed on the platform, but
after about the third tackle by King
he gave up the effort and Joined in
the fun as heartily as the audience.
Among the resolutions passed by
the teachers was this one: Resolved,
That We ask the legislators of our
district to support any reasonable
bill presented to the coming legisla-
ture to help the agricultural college. "
We respectfully call the attention of
our .townsmen,- Senator Smith and
Representative Tatum, to this request
of the teachers. The association rep
resents the sentiments of eighteen
counties. They asked for this favor
aole attention to Manhattan school
because they believe it to be the
school nearest to our people.

S. K. T. A.
Meeting Held IN Kinsley Last Week
Was a Decided Success.

The Southwest Kansas Teachers
Association opened its sessions in
this place last Thursday evening with
students declamatory contest at the
Congregational church.
Mr.. r. D. Smith gave the address
of welcome in brilliant short talk,
placing the profession of teaching
above that of almost any other. Mrs.
c. A. Mosher and Miss Hills gave
musical numbers, as did also the
: kinsley high school girls quartet.
Miss Mae Kimball Of Larned took
the gold medal, reciting Captain
January" This filled the Larned
contingent with glee, and they gave a
yell manufactured expressly for the
occasion. Miss Mae Painter of kins-
ley, who recited "Love in d Balloon,
was awarded the silver medal.
The session Friday morning was
them was paper on progress in
Education" by Prof. Held of Dodge
City. 1t WAS a thoughtful, scholarly
effort by man who has been thor
ough student in his profession, and
who is a thinker as well as teacher.
An excellent short talk was given by
MIR. Biatner of Belpre on "The Rela-
sion OF the Library and the Public
School"
In the afternoon one OF the best
papers was given by Miss Blanchard
of the Kinsley schools, her subject
being Literature in the Primary
Grades" One of the thoughts in the
mornings program was the mistake
of trying to teach love of literature
in the high school to pupils who have
gone through the years OF grade work
without it. Miss Blanchard gave
some excellent advice as TO the neces-
sty of giving good literature to chill
dren from the first year in SCHOOL.
Z Miss Butler of Garden City, whose
subject was Ideals in Education"
presented the question in O thorough
manner.
Perhaps more interest centered
around the subject, shall We Teach
Agricultural and Domestic Science in
Che Public Schools?' than on any
other subject during tha afternoon
session. 1t was presented by Prof.
Daniels OF Greensburg. He showed
che great advantages to Germany and
Prussia from placing tho things in
the public schools, and convinced his
hearers that they ought TO be in the
schools OF the United States. If they
were, he doubted if there would be
either time or ability to teach them.
The next best thing, the speaker
thought, was to direct our young
people to the agricultural college at
Manhattan, that being Il school where
the students obtained an educatio on
which sent them back to the farms of
Kansas to broaden and uplift the in
dustrial and social life of our own
commonwealth.
The election OF officers resulted in
the selection OF Prof Daniels, presi-
dent, and Mrs. Miller, secretary and
treasurer.
The next meeting Of the association
will be held at Garden City. During
Che past few years much of the credit
for the success Of the organization
has been due to Mir. Wheeler of Gar

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, Or
even after the rough cough appears, /,
aud it will dispel all symptoms of
Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may. be avoided. This REM
edy is used by many thousands of
mothers and has never been known
to fail. It is. in fact, the only rem
edy that can always be depended up
on and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by c. A. Mosher & Co.
