E. A. Ross, of the University of Wis

the University OF Kansas, for con-

aroused a great deal of comment in
Kansas, most of it averse. Prof.
Ross declared that school vacations
are a relic of pioneer days and that
children should attend school twelve
months in the year The fact that
in the early days children were
needed to help with the crops is cit

for the original vacation. Now that

The motion to have the primary for all offices in Green county carried ny I vote of Ii to $. This date was sc'ected becaus the farmers have more .eisure now than at any time in the year and the weather is peasant. There are a number of candidates Tor each office. All of them have been assessed to deIray the expenses of the primary".....-
 There has been considerable op- position manifested on account of cary primaries in various parts Of the state and Green county has been seriously criticised for hav- ing the primary in October. One
 reason why it was done was on account of the fact that the candi- dates announced cary and the , canvass would be too long unless the primary was he'd earlier. The new primary law provides that every candida te shall, within l5 days after the primary, fife an itimized account with the lc.erk of al expenses incurred by him during the time for which he was

The citizens of Fayette county, Pa,

they have a historic attraction which after

worthy of exploitation. The bones OF Gen.
Braddock. who was buried where he fell
when slain by the French and their In
dian allies, near Fort D,I Quesne in 1853,
lie in grave that is unmarked unless it
may be by the monuments that nature
has appraised. A great oak tree was once
the guardian sentinel but that was de-
stroyed by storm and nothing has taken
ito place. Funds to the amount OF 81, 100

MORE CAMERAS SOLD.
Lots More Folks Toting Them
Around and Snapshotting Now.

From the New York Sun.
The folks who sell cameras and camera
supplies and who do developing and print
ing for amateurs report that business is
booming this year They say that never
before have they seen SO many amateurs
using cameras. Down at the bathing
beaches and ont in the country the snap
shooters are busy more than ever before
although the summer is a good time al
ways for the n-professional picture
maker.
Any one who has business in DOWN
town camera supply place these days is
bound to notice the crowds that are wait
ing for developed films and printed pic
lures. especially. Of course. around the
noon hour. when the amateurs have a
moment or so of leisure.
Probably this activity is due to the fact
that cameras come in all sizes to suit all
pockets. Cameras are to be had all the
way from 81 up to the sky. The favorite
type Of camera is one that sells for
around $40. but folks are buying more
and more pretentious ones. The cameras
with the focal plane shutters. which show
the photographer what his picture will be
like before he takes 1t and which permit
of good action pictures. are coming more
into use with the amateur. although they
are expensive. There Ii one thing that
every picture maker dearly loves. and
that is to be able to take pictures with
movement in them. Some of the smaller
cameras. without the elaborate devices.
do that sort Of work remarkably well.
