To every woman, especially the
woman who keeps house, the topic Of
summer comfort in the home is one
Of never-faiIing interest
This ia particularly true where COM
fort In the kitchen is concerned, as Il
Is ia this one room that the most try
ing part OF the work is done, such as
cooking, baking. ironing, and heating
water for wash day purposes Even
In cool weather such work IL not al
together welcome, but Il becomes
drndgery on days when the mercury
is trying TO Jump through the top OF
the thermometer, aided by a hot stove
that diffuses It's almost unbearabie
heat through the kitchen.
But such days are past. With the
New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook Stove, kitchen drudRery becomes
kitchen comfort. for this wonderful
stove Is so constructed that Il not only
produces quick results. but does Il
all without perceptlbly raising the
kitchen temperature.
All this means real comfort TO the
woman who works In the kitchen. es-
pecially when considered with the
added advantages In the saving Of
time In the doing away with all carry
ing OF coal wood and ashes: In having
stove that can be turned on or Of.

having TO keep II lighted when not In
use
Then there is the saving Of fuel to
be considered: and Il Is here also that

equipped with three burners Il has but
one oil reservoir. thus reducing three
separate filling operations to one.

usual convenience Is the Rayo Lamp.

Mr.. MCNiece Reaches Sixty-Nine

Last Friday was W. McNeice's
sixty-ninth birthday. Mr.. McNeice
had no formal celebration but spent
the day quietly. Mr.. McNeice is one
of the oldest settlers of Sauk Centre,
having arrived in this city Aug. %,
1866. At that time there wasn't
much of a town, but Mr.. McNeice
thought it good enough for him to
settle in. He was in the milling busi-
ness for several years and then went
into the drug business. OF the old
settlers who were here when Mr.. Nc
Neice arrived in Sauk Centre were
Lucas Kells, C. NJ. Sprague, Jos. Cap
ser, Sol Pendergast. Mr.. Sprague was
the first man to grasp the hand of the
then new arrival Mr.. McNeice says
he has never regretted coming to Sauk
Centre to make his home. He is hale,

COUNTY SCHOOLS
What Is Doing In Stearns County
Educational Circles
SUPT. AHLES REPORTS
statistics Which Show a State of
Affairs Highly Gratifying
to the Tax Payers

The report of Paul Ahles, superin-
| tendent of schools in Stearns county
for the year ending July 81, 1905. con-
talns much valuable information The
total enrolment for the year, accord
ing to the report, was 10,S54. while
It took 30S teachers, 22l of them
women and 81 men, to instruct these
pupils The total tax and school fund
receipts amounted to $272, ,S9S.S2, and
fund of s60,619 on hand. During
the year, an even dozen school houses
OF modern plan, were erected at a
cost of s1S,S56, as compared with the
erection of but six for the preceding
year, representing an investment of
s15.S0o Modern apparatus for heating
and ventilation have also been in
stalled in the greater part OF the coun
tvs schools
Last year, there were IA men in the
high schools and graded schools work
ing for an average salary of s96.76,
while the 80 women in the high and
graded schools were receiving but
s49.33. In the country schools. this
fact also holds true. Seventy-three
men teachers in semi-graded and rur-
al schools were paid an average of
s54.14, while 1S1 women taught in
the same schools at an average wage
Of s4129.
Last year, the teachers were classi-
fled into high school teachers and
semi-grade. grade and rural teachers.
This year, they are classed as high
and graded school teachers and Semi
grade and rural teachers. The aver
age wage Of men of the first class
last year, was s129, while this year, it
was but s96.76, although, of course.
the inclusion of the graded school
teachers would tend TO lower the av-
erage. This years wage of s54.14,
paid the men teachers in the semi
grade and rural schools. will compare
with an average of s55.76 paid men
teachers of the grade, semi-grade and
rural schools last year. The wages of
the women. however, showed an ad-
vancement in spite of the change of
classification. Women in the semi
graded and rural schools this year,
were paid s41.29 as compared with
si0S2 last year. When it is taken in
to consideration that last years av-
erage also included the graded school
teachers wages show decided ad-
vance
Of the 66 normal graduates teaching
in the county, but u were employed
il the semi-grade and rural schools,
the remainder working in the larger
villages and cities of the county. OF
50 high school graduates, but % are
employed in the semi-grade and rural
schools. Most of the teachers are re-
cruited from the ranks of those who
after few years in the high school,
successfully pass the teachers exam
ination.
Of the sos teachers, only 20 have
taught in the same school for three
years or longer; II have remained two
years, and 15S have taught in the
schools in which they are employed
for but one year. For the year 1907
1908, there were 80 teachers, which
consolidation of schools reduc
ed by two. There were also IS men
in 1907-190s as compared with this
