A Rare Treat.

The teachers of Prowers county
and the people Of Holly were given
rare treat Saturday evening at the
NJ. f. church in the lecture by Geo.
w. Loomis, superintendent of the
Pueblo city schools. The subject was
Master Motives in Education, and
the lecture was pronounced by
those who heard it the best one of
the kind ever given in Holly. Mr..
Loomis has strong, pleasing per-
sonality, is fluent. eloquent and force
full in his speech, philosophical and
logical in his thought. and frequently
humorous While the lecture was
we'll attended, there was room for
more, and it is to be regretted that
more of the friends of good schools
in Holly did not avail themselves Of
this opportunity to hear a first class
lecture

Teachers' Association.

The session of the Prowers County
Teachers association, which was held
in the NJ. T. church on the afternoon
and evening of April 6, was well at
tended by the teachers OF the county
and others interested in education.
1t was one of the most interesting
and helpful meetings the association
has ever held. In the absence of the
president, Mr.. H. G; Lamson, the
vice president, Miss Edna p. Emery,
of Holly, presided.
Miss Anna c. Batman, of Lamar,
was the first on the program. She
read an excellent paper on The Pur-
pose OF Discipline" bringing out the
thought that the purpose OF disci-
pline is character building, the devel-
oping OF men and women of strong
moral qualities. The paper was ably
discussed by Miss Rosa Thoman, Su-
perintendents Jones, Momyer, Col
lins and others took part in the gen
eral discussion which followed.
The second subject on the program
was The Duties OF the School
Board" by Mr.. W. NJ Wiley; but as
Mr. Wiley was absent the discussion
of this subject was omitted.
Supt. E. R. Jones then read a care
fully prepared and very helpful paper
on Can We Do More for the Bad
Boys He emphasized the thought
that to do the most for the bad boys,
the very best teachers are needed,
teachers who understand boys and can
sympathize with them Miss Nellie
Ferguson led in the discussion OF this
paper and brought out the thought
that there is good in every boy and
that the good teacher should find it.
Later Supt Loomis, OF Pueblo, took
up the discussion and insisted that
there are no bad boys. All boys are
good although, under certain circum-
stances, they may do things that are
bad The remainder OF the afternoon
session was taken up with general
discussion OF the following subjects:
How can teachers arouse a greater
interest on the part Of parents?
How can the superintendent or
principal be more helpful in his Wis
it's?
School room decoration.
The musical part Of the program
was furnished by Ruth Christopher
and the Holly high school chorus.

Manager Winterhalter Promoted.

w. K Winterhalter, manager of
the Lamar sugar factory of the Amer
lean Beet Sugar company, returned
on Saturday from San Francisco.
where he had been called few weeks
ago. While in San Francisco Mr..
Winterhater received appointment as
general manager of the company's
sugar factories, effective at once, says
Sparks. For the next two years he
will travel abroad, studying the meth
DDS of beet culture in every beet pro-
ducing section of the globe and giving
to the farmers raising beets for the
American company the advantage Of
all the knowledge he gains.
Mr.. Winterhalter's promotion came
as complete surprise to him, but it
was deserved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Winterhalter expect
to sail for Europe about the 18th of
the present month. Mrs. Winterhal-
ter will reside in Germany while her
husband is pursuing his Investigations
in Europe, Asia and Africa. Lamar
people will regret to lose this csti
mable family, but rejoice to know
of Mr.. Winterhalter' advancement.

places of historic and literary inter

The run of 38,4oo cattle last week

smaller than same week last year
The general market advanced 10 to IS
cents during the week, beef steers
getting most of the gain Only a

from the range country, and the
same is applicable to the run of 49,

Teachers Banquet.

citation at the schoolhouse last sat
urday night was attended well and
presided over by Geo. R. Momyer as
toastmaster.
Miss Velma Woods responded to
the toast wind" She thought all
residents OF eastern Colorado could
grow eloquent on this subject, due to
their familiarity Herewith. She said
ladies would have to wear sign in
order to convince people that they
combed their hair at all.
Dust" was the subject assigned to
Miss Ferguson She thought il in
order to have dust follow wind She
nevertheless thought dust good sub
iect for thought as well as to eat, as
there are so many gorgeous effects
produced while the sun is shining and
the dust a-blowing.
Prof. Geo. Loomis responded to
"The Pedagog,' which he reminded
the audience to be at the present time
mainly feminine. One of the lady
teachers sitting next to him had, pre-
vious to his being called upon, asked
him to pronounce this word which
he had not encountered while ped
agog in Michigan, "guarez." Failing
to properly do SO she told him that
it was See! You're easy" In gen.
eral he remarked that the modern
pedagog has champagne taste with
a beer pocketbook, because his sal
ary is too small to travel and take up
the social advantages for which he is
educated. He felt that he is usually
not a part of his community for this
reason. Still, teaching has its re-
deeming features and there are few
who have grown up with the business
who would not reluctantly quit
Miss Wrigley responded with feel
ing to the toast, "The Man Left
Behind Me-" for she has just previous
to entering the room received word
that the man she had left behind her
was dead. She also made the state
ment thereafter that there are not
many men left in Michigan now, as
Professors Loomis and Collins are
now residents of Colorado.
Mr. Collins tried to talk two and
one-half hours on the wild and
Woody West" but he couldn't hold
out that long, not being used to the
high altitude and consequent short
ness of breath. He told several new
stories, which we have memorized
for future use when we become an
orator, with such rapidity that our
shorthand reporter could not make
the marks.
Mr. Vidal was given a chance 20
talk without subject and he did so
in his usual graceful and entertaining
way. He told of his frequent visits
for the members of the school board
of the various departments OF the To-
cal schools, and his admiration of the
pretty teachers Everybody agreed
with him on that.
Prof. c. G. Smeltz, county super
intendent talked on "The Prowers
