TEACHERS u IN 10 N
NOVEL ASSOCIATION FORMED
FOR PURPOSE OF AD-
HANGING SALARIES.
Superintendent Riggs Who Has Exam.
ined Association Warns Teachers
Against Being Duped Of Their Money
TO Issue Circular.

Ottumwa and Wapello county teach
ers are soon to receive communica-
tion from State Superintendent Riggs
relative to the Teachers National
Protective association" of Clearfield,
an institution that claims to be organ
lied for the purpose of securing larg-
er compensation for teachers, Ac-
cording to the opinion of Superintend-
ent Riggs the association can be of
but little benefit to those who become
members and its business is neverthe-
less conducted in such way that no
legal action can be taken against it.
SO far as known no teachers in this
county have as yet become members of
the association and it's likely that mas
much as the matter is being given con-
siderable publicity of a nature that
will not advance it's cause, it is prob
able that no effort will be made to
secure members among the ranks of
the local teachers.
The circular to be sent out by Supt.
RIGGS concerning the association is in
part as follows:
This Office is in receipt of a COPY of
the constitution of the Teachers Ma
tional protective association, purport-
ing to be an organization for the pur-
pose of increasing the compensation of
teachers.
The home Office is at Clearfeld,
Iowa.
Any holder of certificate may be-
come a member upon paying SIS and 81
per month thereafter for such time as
she is employed in teaching. The
money is to be used for the compensa-
ton Of the general officers president
and secretary and the expenses of or
gambling and extending the associa-
ton.
Our county superintendent writes:
'"The promoters of the scheme are do
ing an excellent business among the
rural teachers of my county,"
1t is our opinion that the teachers
who become members of this organiza-
ton will receive no value in return for
the money expended
John c. Beatty is president and Har-
vey s. Duncan, Jr., is secretary and
treasurer of the association, according
to the copy of the constitution which
has just fallen into the possession of
Superintendent Riggs.
He has no idea of the number of
teachers who have contributed their
SIS membership fee and have begun to
contribute their 81 month dues but
ne assumes that II is very great, 1udg-
ing from the tone of the letter which
called the scheme to his attention.
Law Does Not Interfere.
Superintendent Riggs has stated
that there was nothing in. the law
which would authorize, interference
with the association, so far as could be
discovered. But he cannot see from
the provisions of the constitution that
the association will be of value to the
teachers who join it.

FIRE PLAYS HAVOC.
Two CONGREGATIONS Yesterday After
noon Destroy Property.

From Thursdays Daily
Two fires occurred yesterday after
noon, both of which resulted disas-
trously. About $40 the department
was called to the residence of G. A.
Boltz, 49S Jay street, by telephone
alarm. The blaze was fought hard and
was finally extinguished, but not until
the ceiling and rafters over three
rooms and the interior of two rooms
were badly damaged. The exact ORR
gin of the fire could not be learned. Mr..
Boltz is Of the opinion that the fire
started from sparks from the cook
slower, but a timer had been working
on the roof shortly before the fire and
inasmuch as the fire started in the roof
the firemen think the blaze was made
possible through the lodging of sparks
in the roof, which were carried from
the timers iron heater by the strong
wind The damage to the house which
is owned by Mr.. Boltz will amount to
approximately $780, while the damage
to the furniture is placed at $500. The
loss was fully covered by insurance.
While the department was at the
Boltz fire. an alarm came in from the
residence Of r. E. Knudson, corner of
Newton and Benton street in Central
addition. The South Side department
responded to this call, but notwtth-
standing the departments run was ex-
cellent, the fire had gotten beyond con-
troll when it arrived. The entire house
was totally destroyed.

INSECTS THAT MAKE HURs.
Something About the Cunningly Con-
structed Home Of Fly, Known
as Rhodites Eglantina.

OF course you do not expect to see
chestnut burs on wild rose bush, but
occasionally, If you are an obseryanr
boy or girl, you will discover some big
round, green growth surrounding the
stalk Of the fragrant sweet briar, that
on account Of their dense covering Of
spiny "prickles" look very much like
burs. But inside you will find that the
resemblance ceases, for instead Of a
shining trio Of fat brown nuts, you will
find series of compact little cells where
in are curled up, each mite in COM
partment of its own, number of small
white larvae. They secure sufficient
amount of nourishment from the walls
Of their tiny chambers, which are COM
posed of succulent matter.
Now when you have discovered that
this funny growth is not the fruit Of the
sweet-smelling pink rose, you will be in
terested in it as cunningly constructed
home of small insect family. In the
beginning, the parent fly punctures the
sharp thorned stalk of the plant, and
oyiposits numerous wee eggs. Very
