The following 10 say concerning the
statehood movement:
Talk as you will. il is single state
hood or no statehood at all. Congress
may. perhaps. ever yet be induced 20
pass a single statehood bill for New
Mexico and Arizona. Any reasonable
constitution, framed under the pro-
visions Of s h a bin, would he adopted
by the vote of New Mexico. On the
other hand any joint statehood con
~stitution tha' could be proposed would
be rejected by the voters of Arizona.
II not by those of New Mexico as sure
as gun is iron"
The Chicftain means ii is separate
statehood or none, and there Is more
than an even chance that the Chief
tain's position is correct.

LONDON SODA FOUNTAINS.
Mostly Primitive Affairs That Fur.
nish Drinks Of an Infe-
rior Sort.

Another American invasion OF the
old world is reported from London.
where the popularization Of the Amer
lean soda water fountain and American
iced drinks is going on rapidly. Ten
years ago soda fountain In England
was rarity. However, the average
London soda fountain is primitive
affair, such as in America has long
since been relegated to the crossroads
country store. Its product is inferior
stuff. Except at one or two large con-
fectioners' and chemists shops in the
Strand, the average London fountain
boasts of only one fruit favor-lemon
squash-in addition to ginger beer, gin
ger ale and kola tonic. The London
ice is tiny bit Of cream or real 'ice,"
as we know 1t, with fruit flavoring.
A plate of Delmonico Ice cream would
seem like feast in itself to the Lon
doner, who pays IL cents for what
looks no more than tablespoonful to
an American. Ices in the better class
of London restaurants are hardly larg-
er than q walnut.

District Forty-Two.

The new lamps brighten things up at
the school house.
The telegraph crew went to Carthage
last week to load poles.
And we are going to have belfry on
our school house, with a bell in it.
We told told you last week that the
Pinery was going to do something at
the box and pie supper. 1t did. Pies
brought from 80 cents to 81 go, and box
es from 60 cents to 1926. The receipts
amounted TO s24.S0. The house was a
little more than comfortably filed with
as happy crowd as one could wish to
see. Everyone tried TO make it pleas
ant for everyone else-and succeeded.
A short program consisting of songs
and recitations was rendered. Dan
Leatherman acted as auctioneer, and
he is ''onto his job" Not content with
selling the pies and boxes, he even sold
the old stove--made the boys believe
that it was like the pies, and included
young lady to help enjoy it. The ba-
bies were much in evidence, some bali
dozen being asleep on pallet on the
platform--wherefore Daniel had TO look
well to his footsteps. In the voting
contest Miss Frances Brazeal took the
cake by 81 votes out of 125. Then came
the eating Of the good things. Lastly

Notice to the Teachers of South Central
Missouri.

The South Central Missouri Teach
ers' association will hold its next annu-
al session at Rolla, Missouri. Nov. 30 TO
Dec. =, inclusive. This session OF our
association will be especially interest
ing and instructive in the following
ways:
lst. 1t will be held in the city of Rol.
la, all educational center, the home OF
our Missouri school OF mines, and hence
teachers will get an opportunity to visit
and familiarize themselves with u
branch of our great state university.
I'd. The following prominent Nilsson.
ri educators will deliver lectures to the
teachers:
DR.. James E. Ament, Warrensburg
normal; DR.. w. S. Chaplin, Washing.
ton university; DR.. Edward Kirbye,
Drury college; Superintendent w. T.
Carrington: Drs. Ladd, Scott and Nc.
Rae, Missouri school of mines; DR..
VIM, Rulekoetter, Drury college.
These men are in the foremost ranks
of Missouri educators, and to hear them
alone is worth the trip to Rolla.
3D. a declamatory contest will be
held Saturday night, Dec. 2. Every
high school in the district Is entitled
TO one contestant, and beautiful gold
medal will he given to the winner.
This is new but interesting feature
of our association and is exciting much
enthusiasm among teachers and stu
dents in our schools. The program
will be seasoned throughout with spe-
cial music.
Fellow Teachers: 1t is our duty to
attend these meetings. We owe 1t TO
ourselves, TO the people for whom we
labor and to the profession in which
we are engaged. The teacher who IL
supremacy satisfied with his present
attainments will not attend associa-
tions. He is not progressive. He is
found at the bottom OF the ladder, and
there he will be found always. The
honest, capable, progressive teacher Of
today is u student. He reads and stud
les. He thinks and grows He attends
educational gatherings, fer we'll he
knows that at each recurring meeting
the different phases OF schoOl.room
work are being discussed. There he
gives and receives varied experiences,
and after such profitable exchange Of
ideas and opinions, he goes back 10 bis
school conscious OF the fact that he has
been bettered and that he is capable
of giving his school better services.
Let us all unite our efforts and make
the ROlla meeting the best one In the
state. TO this end | kindly solicit your
help. Come one, come all.
Send Jor program, II you have not
received one already.
Respectfully,
