The Mauic of Odd Numbers.

Even in the matter OF weighing
groceries there seems a magic in odd
numbers" said a housekeeper. Most
Of the packages of salt, sugar, coffee
and other commodities that grocers
keep on hand to facilitate trade con
tain an odd number of pounds. II
you are in hurry and ask for made
up package of almost any kind of
groceries tradesmen can accommo-
date you with a one-pOund, three
pound, or a five-pound package; but
the chances are that if you want two
pounds or four pounds of anything it
will have to be weighed to order"

INSTITUTE AND EXAMINATIONS.

INSTITUTE AND EXAMINATIONS.
The Teachers institute for Manitowoc
County will be held at the West Side
School, commencing Aug. 10 and con
tinuing two weeks. All who intend to
teach the coming year should attend
Reports Of teachers contracts show that
the wages paid this year to teachers are
higher than any previous year. When
people pay good wages they want good
services and it is for us to give value re-
ceived. The institute is the education
al council meeting of the year. Absence
at this council meeting without very
good excuse shows that teaching is n
matter of secondary Importance. When
a district pays good wages it has right
to demand that the teacher be present
at educational gatherings and bring to
the school the suggestions given.
The time has come in our educational
work when it will be a case of the survi
val of the tittest. The lazy, Indifferent,
negligent person will he at discount.
School boards will after this be looking
early for their teachers and the best
ones will be taken first Workers are
worth all they get; drones are worth
less. The teacher who cW, A0,r results
does not need to beg for school.
Make yourself II leader Do not be
satisfied with being as qood as HC ducr-
age. Make yourself rs efficient az pos,
sible by developing all the latent powers
you have. Associate with your fellow
teachers. Plan your years work defn.
itely so that as little time as possible
may be wasted. Learn to cooperate
with other teachers. Education is II
movement that requires cooperation of
all.
Prof. q. G. Shuts of Whitewater will
be the leading conductor. He will have
charge of Primary Reading, Arithmetic.
School Management and one other sub
ject probably History or Geography.
Frank }. Lowth of Evansville, will

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan Of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor Worldly

Labor World Sees Danger IN Bryan
Plan Of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor Worldly
WOrkingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President. his plans for revision of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan is the prOfessed
enemy of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, II at all. for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course. his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States. which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York. Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, West Viz
ginia. etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth Of for
eign goods In the competitive class COM
ing into the United States on revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by 50
much reduces the demand for home
goods. thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States. once his proposed tariff law
should be In force 1t would fall alike
upon al; sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree Of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan. because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is tariff for
revenue. ignoring the protection idea
altogether. going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
Industry Or the publication Of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of tn, railroads? Or the
reorganization Of the House, 50 that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
Of the world when we have not sufii-
cient demand to consume what We our
selves manufacture? Under Republi-
can rule we have just had ten years Of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
Ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.
