The United States bureau of en-
craving and printing has completed
designs suggested by Postmaster Gen.
eral Meyer for a new issue of United
States postage stamps. The new
stamps viii be of the following de-
nominations: | cent, . cent, 8 cent, 4
cent, 5 cent, 6 cent, s cent, 10 cent,
Is cent, 90 cent and 81. The 81 and
IS denomination now In use will not
be reprinted. 1t will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be
out on the market. However, the 3
cent stamps will be the first to be
distributed, and 1t Is expected that
shipments to ~postmasters will begin
some time In November. The new
issue has been designed with the OBJ
ject of obtaining the greatest sim
plicity commensurate with artistic
result, The profile has been taken In
each instance Instead OF a full view,
giving a bas-relief effect. All the
stamps are of a similar design. con-

stamps as the most artistic ever

LACKED
Attendance Small at County Fair Is-
nored by Newspapers.

Anderson, Ind. Oct. 15.-That a
county fair depending upon the
public patronage cannot afford TO do
without newspaper support has been
demonstrated at Anderson. Ind. where
the Madison county fair attracted less
than one-third the number Of people
who attended the fair on the same
day one year ago. At that time the
fair association depended almost en-
tirely on the newspapers for adyertts-
ing, and the local papers and other
papers of Madison county boosted the
fair in every way osslble.
This year one Of the directors of the
fair association, who had charge Of
the advertising. concluded that news
paper advertising does not pay. Being
permitted to execute his own ideas,
he chose a few banners painted and
posted. The newspapers therefore ig-
noref the fair association and said
nothing concerning the fair, the ex-
hibits, races or anything pertaining
to it. AIS a result the attendance has
been the smallest In years.

COUNTY SUPT. EVANS
PLEASED WITH MORk
M. p. shawkey Attended All the In
stitutes and Ably Discussed SUBJ
iects Presented-Movement for the
School Children Of the State to
Purchase Prehistoric Mound.

From The World of Thursday:
The series of district teachers in
stitutes in Berkeley county closed
yesterday with the meeting at Bed
ington. The three Institutes in as
many sections Of the county were
largely attended n were profitable
to the teachers and entertaining to
the patrons, and it is the opinion of
County Superintendent Evans that
much good work wa accomplished by
them, for which he naturally feels
much encouraged.
At the B~edington institute Superin-
tendent Evans spoke on the benefits
OF district Institutes and dwelt on the
celebration of Mound Day" on No
vember 5, in which he has taken a
very active interest and, it may be
added, Berkeley county teachers are
in the van of the movement. The
purpose is for the school children of
West Virginia, with the help of 9th
ers interested, perhaps, to purchase
the prehistoric mound at M~oundsville
from the private owner and thus pre-
serve it to the state. He (Mr. Nc
Fadden) offers it for 5000. But by
reducing the mound to a level, selling
the earth and then selling the space
for building lots he could realize
800, 900 or more. The mound occu-
pies a square in the heart Of the city
and is 165 feet high.
Mr.. NJ. P. Shawkey, of Charleston,
was again present and made some
practical remarks on the subjects pre-
sented. Miss Matte Dodd, OF Little
! Georgetown, read a paper on SHOULD
School Boards Furnish Free Text
Books?' She objected to the present
system in HedgesvIlle district from
the fact that torn, jisfigured and
sometimes filthy books are received
from other schools and thus disease
might be communicated. Mr.. Shaw
key said that In Pennsylvania they
funigate the school books and burn
the bad ones.
Papers were also read by Miss
Cora Copenhaver, of Friendship
school, and Miss Amanda Jack, of
Marlowe. An interesting round
table discussion was a feature of the
institute, the subject being How to
Keep Order in he SCHOOL,"
The teachers were entertained at
dinner by Mrs. Charles Ruble, Miss
Villa Hollida, Miss Olive Houck AMI
