A new offer will be made next
year, and is hoped that more
pupils and others will feel en-
couraged to enter the contest
and also that the present con
testants will all try again. The
only restriction on the prize
winners of 1908 will be that they
cannot win a prize of the same or
inferior degree in 1909 for map
of territory included in their
map of 1908. Special thanks are
due the county superintendent
and teachers who encouraged
the contestants.

"Of course, we are all too young
and are not contemplating mar
riage, but we want to be in the
society of men who are real work

At each club meeting the girls
discuss some phase Of the city

discussion are: Should Men Know

Anything the Matter With the City
Girl" when Is a Man Old Enough
to Know His Mind" and How Old
Should a Man Be Before His Pro-

Then the girls are studying do

formed about home as worldly af-
fairs. They want an improvement
in society. They long for the hero
who stammers and bushes before
the girls smiles. They expect to
make excursions to the rural dis

homes of friends, and will later on
entertain some of the country boys
in town. u lh

by speeches. music and lighter en-
tertainment. President A. w. Do
land presided and rendered a COM

1t is acknowledged to be right by
J. l.. Lockhart and this is witness
ed by Colin M. Spaulding. The
statement recites that Lockhart
returned books on engineering,
that had been borrowed from
Black, out of whoch Lockhart had
listed questions necessary to pass
a second grade examination for
the purpose of getting the super
intendent job. He said it had been
all arranged and the usual third
grade examination dispensed with.
He had copied questions from
books received from Inspector
Vedder through O'Brien. Black
says Lockhart was not competent
to pass any kind of an examina-
ton.
Mayor Moore this morning
stated that the city council tonight
will not take up the crematOry
matter, but will wal unil a week
from oday, at which time the
finance committee, which has the
report of the investigating COM
makes its report. The
mayor has asked that Superintend-
ent A. W. Merritt be discharged
and Frank P. Weymouth appoint
ed in his place.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. 15.-"So-
cial extension into country homes
because they are displeased with
the ways of the city youth" is the
latest movement in club work,
adopted by half dozen enthusiast
tic Des Moines girls under the lead
ership of Miss Ethel Wall.
Away, they say, with the frail
youth with puffed trousers and
padded coat shoulders. They want
the society of men of real Drawn,
brain and heart.
They have just made their first
excursion to country home, that
of Miss Wallis parents, near Ber-
wick. There some of the country
youth had been invited for the eve
ming, and the girls returned pleased
with the experiment.
Not that we intend to entirely
boycott city youth" said one of the
girls, 'but only to make them un-
derstand that we have a higher
standard for male associates than
those who smoke cigarettes and
discuss only dancing and sports.
