Of Interest to Teachers.

Quite lot was said in the Teachers
association, last fall, in regard to the
eight months school law, teachers sal
aries, libraries, ETC., but as it seems inn
possible to get the boards of directors to
come out to these meetings it was de-
cided to use the newspapers to reach
them if the editors would give us little
of their valuable space.
Now, it seems to me that it is about
time the teachers are waking up, s they
will soon be on the lookout for schools,
and we know that some of the boards
need little "educating" along the line
OF education.
don't pretend to be a writer, but
would certainly like to see the cause of
education pushed forward in Bollinger
county until we are up with any of our
sister counties.
Thinking persons cannot fail to see
the importance of education, and from
experience in the schoolroom we find
that the place to give the boy or girl
start is in the public school. If children
are not given the proper encouragement
and opportunity when young the chances
are that they will grow up uneducated.
So We see the Importance of doing ev-
erything in our power for the public
schools,
We find some obiecting to the eight
months school on the ground that it
keeps the pupils in school too long
| that they are apt to get tired, etc. To
| these would say that if you intend to
give your children an education you need
not be afraid to keep them in school
eight months. l assure you that they
will fare better there than running thru
the woods, playing or fishing along some
creek, or loafing on the streets. How
ever, if you are afraid to keep them IN
school eight months, I would suggest
that you try one of the following reme-
dies:
The law provides that each district
must have an eight months school if a
40-cent levy will maintain it. Now, if
you do not want it, | would suggest that
| you make the Accent levy and then pay
it all to the best teacher you can secure
to conduct six months school for that
amount. There is no place where the
motto, "The best is not too good" fits
better than in selecting a teacher. You
needn't be afraid that you will pay them
too much. When we reflect that the
average teachers salary, in this county,
is $500, and the average length of
term 109 days, we can readily see that
they are not overpaid. Think of per-
son depending upon teaching for liv-
ing, at those figures, and keeping even
with his or her expense account. No
wonder our teachers do not continue in
the profession and that we constantly
have large number of inexperienced
instructors.
Give us a reasonable salary and a
longer term and then we can afford to
qualify ourselves to instruct your chill
dren.
OF course l know that it will be hard
on those who have heretofore escaped a
levy. But, then, do you expect to edu-
cate your children for nothing? Poor
i fellows, itwould be too bad if you have

little fire during the winter and the grass
looks like it does in BolIinger county in
June.

columns about the panic, so l suppose
you are not feeling the present strin-

large numbering industries are preparing
for very long siege. The G., c. & S. F.

Obituary..

Mrs. Serelda Catherine Chandler
(nee Clingingsmith) was born Sept.
10, 1857, in Bollinger county, few
miles southwest of MillerviIle; died
after a brief illness of pneumonia,
at the family home, in Marble Hill,
February 2S, 1908; aged so years,
5 months and Is days.
She professed religion and united
with the NJ. +. Church South in the
summer of 1872, at Trinity church,
near Sedgewickville, which was
then a part of Marble Hill circuit
and Rev. H. S (Rough and Ready
Watts was pastor, and during all
the years of her life she was faith
ful in the discharge Of her duties to
God and to the church.
She was united in marriage to
w. X. Chandler May 5, 1875, and
four sons and one daughter were
the fruits of this union: General L.,
junior editor of THE Press; Dr.
Gilbert B., of Calhan, Colo; J. W.,
who recently joined the United
States navy; Roger NJ, and Ruth,
all of whom, with the husband and
an only brother, William Clinging-
smith, of Jonesboro, ILL.,. survive
her.
Mrs. Chandler was also a member
of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and was faithful, zeal
Gus worker for the principles of
that great institution, which has
done so much for humanity, and
the little band here will miss her in
its meetings and councils.
She had been in delicate health
number of years, but never lost any
of her devotion to her family and
home. for she was devoted wife
and kind, loving mother. She
never seemed to worry about her
self. but was always thoughtful and
solicitous about her family and
those around her. She was good
woman-taithful to her every trust
and a benetliction to her home,
the church and the community.
Another one has gone from us
whose place will be hard to fill.
May the God she loved, and served
so faithfully, raise up some one
upon whom her mantle may fall.
Her funeral was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. J. W. Hodges, at Hahn
chapel Sunday afternoon, in the
presence of large number of sor-
rowing relatives and friends, and
the remains were inferred in the
cemetery near by.
go happy, happy soul!
In ecstacies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest thy Savior's face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
All! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus presence reign
With our translated friend?"

Considerable complaint has been re-
ceived regarding the purity of the mill
market of the state. Investigation has
shown that there is some cause for this
complaint.
This bulletin is issued for the purpose
of calling the attention of feed manufac-
turers, millers, dealers and stock feeders
to sec. 2, S. B. Al, session acts 1907, D..
239, which reads: "The term food used
in this act shall include all articles used
for food, drink, confectionery or condi-
ment, by man or animal, whether mixed,
simple or compound" Sec. and sec. I
will also prove of interest.
No standard for stock feeds having
been adopted by the Missouri "Pure
Food Bill" approved March Is, 1907,
this department will be guided by the
standards of composition universally
recognized by the agricultural expert
ment station authorities, a table of which
standards is published in Farmers Bull
letin No. %, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. c., and in

The term "bran" used without any
qualifying word will be construed as
meaning clear wheat bran. If rye bran
or corn bran be mixed with wheat bran
the fact must be stated on the sack with
the percentage of each present. When

FARM pR0DIfCE


The attention of the farmers of Mis-
souri, is called to that portion of the pure
food law found in subdivision 6, sec. 4,
S. B. A, session acts, 1907, PIP. 23S-242,
and to sec. IA of the same act
1t is grave offense to sell bad eggs,
or milk or cream or butter which is dirty,
or was produced from a diseased COW, or
is below grade, or to which Il preserva-
tive has been added; or meat of animals
which have died otherwise than by
slaughter, or vinegar which is below
standard, or fruit under false names as
to variety or place OF production, or to
sell short measure or short weight food
of any kind. The farmer is primarily a
producer of food and must expect to
abide by the food law, the same law that
protects him when others sell to him.
Copy of the law and food standards may
be obtaiued by writing to this office.

Another Rebuke for Roosevelt.

BY a vote that was very much one
sided congress decided, on the 18th, to
order the restoration of the motto, "In
God We Trust" which was omitted from
the new gold coins by the arbitrary COM
mand of President Roosevelt. Repub-
licans joined with democrats in serving
notice on the rough rider that he will be
kept reasonably busy if he contents him
self with attending to the duties of his
own department of the government.
No question of the union or disunion
OF church and state can be found in this
controversy. The United States is a
Christian nation. Our forefathers, who
founded the republic, recognized the
Divine guidance that led them safely
through the perilous undertaking and
crowned their efforts with success. That
spirit has continued until the present
day. "In God We Trust" is not an in
dication of subscribing to any particular
faith or creed or tenet. 1t is nothing
more, can be nothing more, than broad
recognition of the Guiding Power that is
greater than ourselves.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the first president to
attempt to refuse this recognition, to
deny the presence of Divine aid in the
administration of human affairs. Usurp-
ing all power, he would also assume all
credit for the blessings that the nation
enjoys.
The rebuke administered by congress
is timely and deserved. 1t is not the
first time that it has been found neces-
sary to remind him of his limitations,
nor will 1t be the last. Mr.. Roosevelt is
irrepressible and it can be regarded as

ness Out Of Politics." late issue of
the Globe Democrat, in nearly a
column, makes a special plea for
silence in regard to the present
financial situation. Did you notice
that the CD. tried to keep bust
ness out of politics" in '94? In fact,
wasn't that paper constantly full of
sensational stuff in regard to the
panic and its causc-frOm a repub-
lican viewpoint? Its daily "roar"
was "put all the business yoa can
in politics-and then some" 1t
reiterates that "iridescent dream"
about the opening up of manufacto-
ries, not telling who or what has
opened up, and assures its readers
that if "nobody says nothing" ev
erything will be booming right
away, and winds up Its hearty cry
thusly:
Rash words or deeds by the president
or congress in this exigency could easily
check this improvement (meaning that
dream about the resumption of business)
and to the extent in which the check
would injure the country it would help
the democratic party in the canvass.
Thus for party as we'll as public reasons
our law administrators should keep their
hands off of the railroads and all other
business activities at this time.
Uh-huh! But regarding railways
we find in the same paper the fol-
lowing kilograms:
One from Sedalia, Mo-, dated Feb. 81,
says the Missouri Pacific railway shops
at that place were closed down until
March 2, throwing out of employment 700
~or 800 men who have not yet received
pay for the work performed by them
during January.
Another, of same date, from Little
Rock, Ark, Gays the Iron Mountain has
closed it's shops, throwing 1900 men out
OF employment for ten days who have
been working on reduced tims the last
five weeks.

or coerce some republicans into

lot of people who will do some talk
ing at the right time.
