REPUBLICAN, TICKET
A Pleasant Occasion

Last Saturday was the day appointed
by the president of the teachers associa-
tion of Prowers County for the executive
committee to meet and arrange pro-
grams for the different meetings OF the
year. In order to allow time to accept
Mr.. j. w. Golladay's mag agnanimous'in-
vilation for a drive, the meeting was
called for 7:30a. m. A full committee
responded to the call and two hours were
spent with association and reading circle
work.
Immediately after adjournment the
members OF the committee, joined by all
the Lamar teachers, each one OF whom
was laboring under burden Of well
chosen edibles, started for the Amity
hesdgate. After reaching their destina-
ton, with all the beauties Of nature por-
trayed in wooCs, stream, cliff and PLAIN

the conqnests Of art science open for
their immediate investigation, yet. like
doughty warriors who had previously
encountered many Similar conditions,

ment toward the luncheon-the few
gentlemen only counciling short delay.
With dexterity and attractive neatness
unsurpassable, there was soon disclosed
to the admiriny assemblage sight we'll
calculated to arouse the most exhalted
enthusiasm. The objections of the gen.
tlemen were again easily overcome. The
onslaught which followed deserves a
place in history. After the conflict had
cleared and a sort Of satisfied repose had
fallen upon the gathering, short but
delightful literary feast followed. Miss

Dixie Kid" and M .sses Ferguson and
Mears and Professor Jones gave recita-
tions.
A drive home through the exquisite
October weather of Colorado and the
day was completed.
Three meetings Of the association we're
arranged for as follows:
Holly, November IA; Lamar, January

"Mary is "a years old. Mary is twice
as old as Ann was when Mary was as old
as Ann is now. How old is Ann?'
This problem which is now engaging
the attention OF the people and the
newspapers Many are the solutions
sent in. This problem was settled years
ago in the old primers when Mary and
Ann had conversation. Mary said to
Ann "Ann how old are your" Ann said
n am six" And then Mary said "Are
you but six? Why, am ten but you
are not as big as 1 am" AS this conver-
sation took place about ninety years ago,
Ann is 96 and Mary is 100. The problem
is on wrong basis.
