A SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.
Already State Superintendent Is Re-
ceiving Complaints.

Shortages of school teachers for the
fall term of school are beginning to be
reported to the state superintendent.
Thus far. however, the surplusage in
some counties is enough to cover the
shortages in others It is expected,
however. that there will be an unusual
demand for teachers. owing to the fact
that most of the male teachers have
quit and gone into other lines of bust
ness in which more money can be
made.
According to the reports received
thus far by E T. Fairchild. state su-
perintendent of public instruction,
from the county superintendents.
there will be a shortage of teachers in
the following counties: Barber, Is;
Butler, "a: Clay. 10; Geary. IL; Cove,

The 'Ieddy bear fad was denounced
by the Rev. Michael G. Esper from The
pulpit of St Joseph's Catholic church

The priest held that the toy beast in
the hands of little girls was destroying
all instincts of motherhood and that in
the future it would be realized as one
of the most powerful factors in the
race suicide danger.

Modern
Dentistry

Many dentists do not think it pays
to go to all the trouble of boiling and
sterilizing instruments after each pa
tient. We do. We believe in cleanli-
ness and most of our patients appre-
ciate our efforts. Many serious blood
diseases are transmitted from one pa
tient to another by their dentist using
instruments that were last used on a
patient suffering with a blood disease
or liberated teeth and gums.
It is very easy to cause infections in
this manner If the Instruments are
not properly steriIized.
