Reports received from many Of the pub
lie schools Of Minnesota in regard to the
liberty records of the schools indicate two
things of special note. First, that the
school children of Minnesota are reading
more than ever before, that is more of
them are taking advantage of school lib
raries, and, second, there is a marked de-
crease in the reading of fiction on the part
of public school children. Superintendent
report a greatly increased reading az
history and biography. One superintend-
ent accounts for this increased interest in
history and biography on the ground that
the Spanish war was a great stimulus to
the pupils interest in history and gave
them a great desire to familarze them
selves more thoroughly with the history
of their own and other countries.
Another well Known city superintendent
believes that it is largely due to the fact
that boys and girls are for the first time
in history, reading the daily newspapers,
and taking a greater interest in current
topics than they ever did before. The
widespread discussion Of the Beer war
and the Philippine problem has had an
influence in the schoOl-rOom and as a re-
suit students have turned more and more
to history and biography. Other superin-
tendents point out that history is being
taught in a more direct and personal man.
ner than it formerly was and that pupils
are IOI Only more pIdCIlCdily lIlICl CSlCu
in it, but that they do far more outside
collateral reading than they ever did be
fore.
More History Bought.
During the past two years school lib
raries purchases have consisted of a
larger percentage of history than prev
iously. Strangely, and naturally enough,
biography is more read in country schools
than in city schools, according to these
reports. One superintendent declares that
in the country ideals are more perman-
ent, and the country boy reads the lives
of the great with a seriousness that
makes lie reading an inspiration to
him"
The life of Washington and the life Of
Lincoln were the leading books real in
rural schools Of Minnesota during the
past year.
Another noticeable thing is that the so
called 'favCr.te" and best selling books
have small circulation in the schools. The
fiction read is mostly the older fiction
which results largely from the study Of
English literature in the schools.
The great increase in rural school
Libraries has resulted in a corresponding
increase in the proportion of reading done
in the country. Where the proportion Of
reading in the rural districts was about 30
to l five years ago, it is now about Il to 1.

Buttermakers Discuss Reasons fOl
Sudden Rise in Price,

Buffers sudden rise above the 8O-cent
mark, reaching the highest point in ten
years, has been the subject of considera.
bic discussion throughout the state. AS
published in 7 h G 10 e from time to

Probably there are some persons con-

For years the dairymen have been rob

oleomargarine have colored their produce
to look like butter, have given it the
names of famous brands of pure creamery

to sell this product as butter, holding out
to them the temptation of large profit

methods.
With this fraudulent traffic going on all

APOLLO CLUB TO EXPAND
Finely Furnished Suite of Rooms to
Be Established Soon.

In keeping with the general advance
ment of things in Kansas and more par
ticularly the city of Wichita, the Apollo
club has decided to surround themselves
with more of the appurtenances of a
metropolitan organization, which is so
cial, as well as musical. At a business
meeting of the club last night it was
decided to secure suite of rooms for
the exclusive use of the club at all times
and 10 furnish them with necessities and
comforts. A piano will be. OF course, the
most important piece of furniture, also
cases for music and a library and tables
for periodicals. besides the rugs, set
tees and other furniture.
The club last night elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year: L.
o. Bryan, president; Judge z. z. Harvey.
vice president; Silas Brown, secretary;

Coy, business manager.

DEMOCRACYS LATEST MISTAKE
They Fuse With ProhibitiOnists in
Fourth Ward.

Democracy and Prohibition, with the
tai of Populism. have fused in Wich-
tia. Wilbur Jones. the candidate for
mayor on the Prohibition ticket last
spring. has been taken into the Demo
cratic party and has already received the
csresses of George Young, Mike Cook,
Jim Dorsey and other stalwarts who have
fought, bled and died in years gone by
that the people might drink whatever they
desired out of whatever mug or other
vessel they pleased. in Kansas. Mr. Jones
has been honored in his entry by a nomi-
nation for the council, which nominal
ton was made by petition sometime yes

a. McNicol, who is now the chief boss
OF the Democratic party in Wichita, Col.
Tom Fitch declining TO continue the lead

cratic elements in it, The nomination of
Mr.. Jones. and his hearty confirmation,
explains the duplicity of the Democratic
party last spring, when it put up Mr..
Jones hoping TO split the town building.
property improving. revenue raising, tax
tightening forces Of Wichita. Then the
Democrats Indignantly denied cIandestine
relations with the Proribitionists, but
It is proved now by the nomination of
Mr.. Jones to a place on their ticket. And
IL foreshadOws a situation that might
occur next year at the general municipal
election; for If they can win on a COM
bination Of this kind this spring there is
no doubt but what they will combine with
the Prohibitionists on a larger scale next
spring.
The effect of the nomination Of Mr.
Jones. according 10 the views Of promi-
nent Democrats in the ward Will be that
the Democrats who do not believe in al
nances with every Tom. Dick and Harry,
VIII throw their support TO Charles l.

Fourth ward so fairly and ably in the
past that no citizen or taxpayer in the
ward was Disseminated against because
Of his views political. The new alliance
is very Objectionable TO Democrats ex-
cept those who are aiming at something
or the pie counter and don't care by what
means or combination they get it.
The new developments prove one OF
two things, that the Democrats were in
cahoots with the Prohibitionists last year
oc-e.se Mr.. Jones was in cahoots with the
Democrats.
