reaction to follow the tremendously
heavy receipts, turned easier and while
II continued to meet with heavy buying
orders from shorts and outside sources,
1t was depressed to a level about 130
~ points lower on the more active po-
sitions. Following this the market
steadied in spite of heavy estimates
Tor to-morrow's receipts and during
the balance of the session ruled very
excited and very irregular though
prices, generally speaking worked up
ward until near the close they were
again depressed by a bear drive and
the market was finally steady at a net
decline of 7q1S points. Sales We're es-
timated at 100000 bales. The heavy
port receipts are ascribed by the bulls
to demand from spot dealers and
spinners, while the bears contend that
While this may be so, it would appar-
emily mean that spinners, immediate
requirements must be pretty we'll filed
Tor the time being and that it also
shows that the willingness of planters
to accept present spot prices. Senti-
ment all through the session was very
nervous and unsettled as evidenced by
the fluctuations and while there was
considerable selling on the reaction
theory many operators are expressing
themselves as favoring great caution
in so feverish a market. 1t was con-
sidered that the recognized bull leader
who was apparently selling on the in
itial bulge was a buyer on the decline
and room operators who sold in tile
morning covered on the after recovery.
Exports for the day were very heavy.

lot of unexplained buying. AS long
as that kept up 1T was easy to see how
we would have an advance. But over
lie this cotton is being offered for sale
and the same line of reasoning leads
one to anticipate a setback. The bot

begin on 40-point break will make
money. The wild fire has not burned

Of Leda, born in the days of

Mems hearts were as inns that
I might dwell iu;
Houselesss wander tonight

Because. man loved me. no God

My ghost goes wailing where

Alas! my chamber in Troy's

My golden couches, my hang.
ings green!
Wasted with fire are the halls
they built me,
And sown with salt are tie
streets Itrod,
Where flowers they scattered
and spice split me
Alas, that Zeus is a Jealous
God!
Softly I went on my sandals
golden;
Of love and pleasure I took
my fill;
With Paris kisses my lids were

or I guessed l. when life went
at my will
That the Fates behind me

Reflections of
a Bachelor.

When a man once gets into
debt about the only way for
him to get out of it is to die.
Most people live up to the
theory that the longest way
ronnd is the shortest way to
heaven.
1t is almost impossible to
convince a widow that she
ought to know as much about
the ways of married women as
a bachelor.
Generally when woman
goes out of her way to speak of
her servants hall she means
the kitchen chair where the
hired girl sits
The man who got up the
theory that you can save money
by being married must have
been the same idiot who start
ed the flying machine idea. N.

Farm Telephones.

Have you ever thought how
many hours out of every week
can be saved for yourself, your
family, and your teams by the
assistance of the telephone?
Have you ever calculated the
minutes that can be gained in
case Of sickness or business
emergencies? Have you thought
of the dollars you might gain
were you only close 'tou h with
the markets? Can you conceive
the pleasure to be derived from
having in your homes means of
immediate communication with
relations, neigh bors, or friends,
though situated miles away,
asks the INLAND Farmer?"
The telephone will pay for
itself by getting better market
prices, 1t will save several
dollars every mouth by avoid
ing needless trips to town. 1t
will deliver and receive tele-
grams and important messages
Immediately and without extra
expense. 1t will inform you on
weather predictions. II will
order repairs instantly when a
machine breaks down. Il will
do the visiting and ma Ike social
calls without the work OF
"dressing up" and making a
dusty, sultry or freezing ride.
It will get a doctor on a mo-
ment's notice and maybe save a
loved ones life. 1t will get
election returns as soon as they
are in. 1t will keep pway inso.
lent tramps and prowling
burglars. 1t will keep the boys
on the farm. and also the girls.
1t will make home happier,
brighter and better, and more
delightful in a thousand and
different ways.
Progressive farmers through,
out the country are installing
telephones 10 their homes, and
in the near future every agricul.
turiSt wlil have direct means
of communication with the out
side wu't. Speed the day.

School Notes

SCnetne IN 0t. FRANCOIS county
aud was recently arrested there
for escaL ed from the sheriff at
Pennington and is doubtless
operating in some other county
now. Where there is a wide
awake county commissioner who
has the confidence of school
boards it should be impossible
for such schemes to be worked.
Teaching cannot command
the best ability nor become a
permanent career until teach.
ers are better paid aud have
longer terms of position. While
it is true that the pleasure of
the work must be the larger
part of a teachers compensa-
ton, it is also true that sal
aries must be such as to main
tian a standard of living in
keeping with the highest ideals
of community.
The public school moneys,
state. county and township.
furnish about one-fourth of the
teachers salaries in the public
schools of the State. Three
fourths is raised by local, or
district, taxation. At least
half of the amount spent for
school purposes should be sup
piled from public funds and
state taxation. This would en-
able the poorest in the state to
maintain a six months term of
school.
Much school work fails in ac-
comprising desired results be-
cause teachers have not techni-
cal vocabularies sufficient to
fully comprehend the text
books. Such knowledge comes
from persistent study of words
as individual units and the full
significance of preixes and
suftixes. In addition to this,
the teacher must study classic
literature in such way as to
know the finer standings given
to words to express thought,
opinion, beauty, feelings and
convictions.
Miss Hattie Sutton, County
Superintendent of Schools of
Atchison County, is doing much
for the schools. Each month
she gives every teacher in the
county an outline of work to be
done in the following mouth
and review tests tor the work
of the month just closing. her
enthusiasm aud thoroughness
has revolutiouized the work of
the country schools of the couu-
l ty. Every county needs the
services of L competent, ag-
gressive superintendent.
If the State apportioued three
million dollars 10 the school
districts, giving one-third of it
on basis enumeration, oue-third
on average attendance and the
other third in proportion to the
local rate of taxation for school
purposes, Missouri would wit
ness another progressive n owe
ment iG education. The State
may in this way stimulate regu-
larity of attendance aud stir
up greater local interest in
proper school equipment and in
efficiency of teachers emp loyed.
