wheat. September corn opened "a to %
higher at 541 and sold at 50. Local re-
ceipts were 1877 cars with 81 Of contract

Would Revive Spelling Contests.

Monroe journal: Sylvanus Ames,
county superintendent of the Dane
county schools, is endeavoring to in
terest teachers and pupils of his dis
trict in the good old art of spelling.
Much criticism has of late been made
OF the Inability of the graduates Of
modern schools to spell as well as the
pupils did in the days when spelling
contests in the county districts were
features of the year. To put an end
to this criticism, and at the same time
stimulate the spirit of rivalry among
the pupils, Mr.. Ames is sending out
letters to all the teachers and school
men in the county telling them of the
final spelling contest to be held in
Stoughton, May Is, and giving them
directions for sending contestants to
