SPELL DOWN A SUCCESS
Contest and Teachers Convention
Prove of Great Value and Interest
to Crawford County People.

Last Friday evening and all day
Saturday occurred the regular annual
Crawford county teachers meeting.
This annual meeting is getting to be
real big thing each year and teach
ers are beginning to look forward to
it with considerable of expectancy
and pleasure. This year the meeting
was begun by the County spelling con-
test on Friday evening. This was
held at the college building and to say
the building was crowded is putting Il
far too mildly. 1t seemed as if the
rooms and halls from basement to
chapel were full and crowded. One
may get just a slight idea of the
crowd when it is known that the re-
ceipts We're $40. 45 even after all the
complimentary tickets to the many
helpers and to the contestants. There
was the best Of order and interest and
the monster audience behaved itself
in a way which deserves special COM
nendation. Sitting ON anything and

a resting place, standing in aisles
and on each Others corns out in the
Railways with necks extended to
many times their natural length the
people were always orderly and in
tensely interested. The spelling con-
test was a grand success. Out of a
possible sixty, there were forty mine
contestants present to take part in the
evenings work. And spell, how they
did spell-clear through the 1000
words then the most difficult words
between pages 13 and $50 then the
hardest words in the whole book
and then through number of teach
ers' examination lists with just here
and there single word missed.
The contest has been a grand, goo(
thing for the educational interests ol
the county. 1t set multitude t.

an excellent review in the study of

an excellent review in the study of
words as to correct pronunciation and
meaning. In few cases where con-
testants were over Jealous in their de-
sire for the winning of the grand
prize there were some sore disappoint-
ments when the contestant missed and
fell by the waysde. However, nearly
all were broad minded enough to accept
honest defeat in good grace and feel,
that, even though valuable prize
was not won, the contestant was
greatly benefited by the drill given
not only in the spelling of words but
in self-control under very trying cir
cum5tances. The contestants all did
we'll. Now and then self-control was
lost and the winner of the township
contest did not spell so we'll as the
2nd or 3rd in the same township did.
In most cases ii was the missing of a
single word that threw the contestant
out when the checking up was done.
Had there been time more words
could have been given and thus q little
fairer contest had but they spelled
SO well that sopaa just had to be drop
ped on the missing OF one word in
order to finish the contest in the
whole evening. The spoilers We're
assigned to three different rooms and
spelling in three gropps until the
three best in each group was found.
Then these nine met in a final cham
pionship match before the whole
audience. Following are those who
were in the final match Ethel Hoag-
land, Mary Fleming, Alice Noraell,
Mary Dietz, Matte Henry, Eller
Collins, Ralph selby, Nora Finigar

In the spelling here Ralph selb,

The Only Born kinq.

There is a fact about King Alfonso
well worth knowing. Of all the Kings
who have ever lived, with the sole ex-
ccption OF Jean l, of France, who lived
hut ii few hours, he is the only one to
be King from the moment of his first
breath-a veritable born King" And
Since he is much spoken of these days
it is not amiss to know his name, which
is. his Most Catholic Majesty Don
Alfonso NIII, King of Spain. of CASTLE,
of Leon, of Aragon. of the two Sicilies,
of Jerusalem, of Navarro. of Gibraltar
of the Western and Eastern Indies, of
the Oceanic Continent, Archduke of
Austria. Duke Of Burgundy. of Brabant
and Milan, Count Of Hapsburg, OF

of the Golden Fleece. This is not really
all. but it is a good deal to live up to-
even for L King.

and this is the chief cause of the con-
stantly decreasing population. In
every part of the island there are signs
of decline and decay. and the story
which Goldsmith told in his Deserted
Village" two centuries ago is repeated
over and over in all sections of the is
land. There have sbeen many causes
for the decline in wealth and popula-
ton Of ireland, but of course the most
important reason is the oppression of
the Island at the hands Of the English
government.
