folks get interested.

folks get interested.
The other day Superintendent of
Schools Hicks said that he was con-
tinually getting letters asking him
about school matters under the new
law. I asked him to answer these
questions through the column of THE
REPUBLICAN as it was likely that
what one person wanted to know the
general public would like to know.
Whereupon he has arranged to answer
all such questions through the columns
of this paper.
AS said in the beginning I would
like to know how you are liking the
paper. I have had some few COM
plants because I cut out the Young
Folks Column and the Home Cir
cle." But I believe the most of the
readers would rather have strictly Ta-
ney county news. Wish I knew.
These articles were gotten up by a
syndicate over in Illinois. They cost
US so cents month. This syndicate
also sends out editorial copy and even
locals For about two dollars a
month could get my whole paper
edited. Wouldn't have to worry about
hunting up the news and writing it.
In the time it takes to do this I could
make several times two dollars doing
job work Of course this matter would
have to be of general interest, some
thing that would do for a paper pub
hshed anywhere. Papers using this
matter lose their local features, their
home features the most valuable part
of county paper.
Then I would like to know how you
like the arrangement of giving the
Kansas City Star with this paper in
stead of the patent inside. In short
I'd like to know how you are liking
THE REPUBLICAN these days. When
you are writing to this Office on any
kind of business please just add few
lines and say how you are liking the
paper and what changes you think
ought to be made. And when you
are in town come around and see me
and tell me about it.
Very truly yours,
JOE G. UPTON.

Disagreeab1e at Home.

Lots of men and women who are
agreeable with others gets cranky"
at home. It's not disposition, it's the
liver. IF you find in yourself that you
feel cross around the house., little
things worry you, just buy a bottle of
Ballard's Herbine and put your liver
in shape. You and everybody around
you will feel better for it. Price so
cents per bottle. Sold by ]. w.

Another Little I ak.

If there is one thing we dislike
more than another it is to see an edi-
tor use his paper for his own personal
purposes; to abuse his personal enemies,
to laud his personal friends; to tell his
personal business; to take up large
part of the space in his paper with his
own personal affairs. We make it a
rule not to do this, but this week we
are going to violate the rule and take
up some of the space for a little heart
to heart talk with our readers. And
We are going to drop the editorial we
and use the first personal pronoun
81"
This issue completes the first six
months since I took charge of THE
REPUBLICAN. What satisfaction am
giving I don't know but I would like
to know. l will say right here that I
have published the best paper I could
but it lacks a good deal of being as
good a paper as I would like to pub
hsh. There is but one way an editor
can tell how the people are liking his
paper and that is by the way the sub
scriptions come in. Our subscription
list has been growing steadily since I
took change, therefore suppose I am
giving fairly good satisfaction.
But as I said before I am not en-
tlrely satisfied with it myself. 1 want
o publish paper that everybody likes,
one that you will wait for its coming
and will be disappointed if it doesn't
show up. will admit there is some
thing mercenary about this, for I know
that the better paper I publish the
more subscribers I will have and the
more money I will make.

paper that have been getting out

DAY.

The death and burial of John Jack
son took place last week.
]. S. Reniker made a business trip
to Galena, Stone county a few days
ago.
Quite number of the Dayites at
tended the picnic at Reed Springs on
Saturday.
Miss Myrtle Ellis returned from
Springfield to her home near the Shade
last week.
1t is still very dry and hot here,
most all the water is gone in parts of
the country.
T. c. Reniker, of Anderson, Ind,
is now with his brother, ]. S. Reniker,
of this place.
u. S. Weatherman and Willie Cum
mings came down the creek with their
saw rig purchased of Mr.. Peace. They
stopped at Whackey long enough to
hook onto the mill and grind up the
supply of corn on hand.

Most of the time I have been filing it
up with the missouri Pointers and
Washington Letter." I would like
to be able to fill it with Taney county
matter I believe it would be more
interesting to you and you would like
it better. l believe that the most in
teresting feature of county newspa-
pear is the County Correspondence. !"
Since taking charge I have had con-
siderable trouble with this department.
In the past correspondents had been
allowed to use the paper for their own
personal purposes that's as bad
if not worse than the editor so using it.
Some of them wanted to take up the
whole space telling about their own
family affairs or with some other fri
volous matter. I cut this stuff out
and of course have lost few cores
pondents who did these things.
Now we have, a fine lot of cores
pondents, don't know of paper any
where that has better lot. There are
a few places in the county not repre-
sented but we will have them filled be-
fore the snow flies. We are going to
give them the front page and if you
want to know what is going on in Ia
ney just read THE REPUBLICAN.
Then I want the readers of this pa
per to use more of its space. If you
want to discuss any matter of public
importance write it and send it in. I
want you to feel that this is YOUR pa
per. Discussions of school matters,
road matters, ETC., can do no harm and
may do much good. Last Spring I
tried to work up an interest in the good
roads question. I wrote about all I
could think of and Highway Engineer
Adams contributed literally. But no.
body else had anything to say, conse-
quently I come to the conclusion that
you weren't interested yet and quit.
In matters of this kind I might wear
out gross OF lead pencils writing
articles, but it does no good unless you

The opening of the School year is
Just at hand and already some of the
faculty are on the ground. Rev. F.
o. HELLER B. D., Phi. D., has come to
assume the presidency. Agraduate of
Yale University, after having taken a
collegiate course in Michigan Unive1-
sity, he has had the advantage of three
years study and travel abroad in the
Universities of Europe. Upon his re-
turn to America he was called to the
presidency of Sheridan College and
from there he went to take the chair
of Greek and Hebrew in Atlanta
Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Ga.
He has just left position in Highland
University Kansas to accept the presi-
dency here.
Miss Dysart, who is also on the
ground, has just returned from Europe
to take the Matrons place. She has
Just left one of the large institutions in
St. Joseph where she has had charge
as matron and our community may be
assured that the young ladies who at
tend this year the School of the Ozarks
will be under the care of lady who
understands her work and will see to

ter school than heretofore are fright
and the Board proposes to spare no
effort to build up the institution in our
midst and in this effort they ask the
hearty support of our entire commun-
ity. Taney county and our adjoining
sister counties should join in united
effort to assist in making this School
an honor to this section of the state.
To the young people of the whole
country we would say This is your
opportunity. Why not improve it
while you have the chance DR..
HELLER has already received applica-
tions and letters of inquiry from North
ern Kansas, Kansas City, and other
distant cities. If our school is attract
ing the attention of students from these
far away points surely you who have
this opportunity close at home can not
afford to neglect it. With the ex-
pense only ten dollars month and
with faculty of such high grade the
school should be taxed to its limits to
provide accommodation.
Regarding the faculty or that por-
ton of it which was here last year we
need make no comment, you know
them and their work.

Sid Ragsdale, of near Mcfarland, is
visiting at the home of W.. M. Bunch.
Miss Sarah Grablebe returned from
Springfield Sunday after a weeks visit
with friends there.
Miss Maggie Oliver, of Hollister,
came up Friday and visited her sister,
Mrs. Gertie Bass, until Sunday.
Prof. VIM. Rullkorter with his family
stopped off here day or two last week
looking after his farm interests.
Most of our people went to Reeds
Springs Saturday to attend the Odd
Fellows picnic and had fine time.
w. ]. Bradshaw come down from
Springfield last week and purchased
some more timber to keep his mill at
work.
On account of the hot weather the
wood dealers of Springfield are over
loaded with wood and as a result
our shipping business is at standstill
at present.
The drouth still continues and eyery-
thing has become as dry as powder.
A fire breaking out now would do a
great amount of damage. Several
have cut up their fodder, but it is con-
sldered very poor quality still it will
beat feeding snow balls this winter.
The timber is showing the effects of
the drouth as many of the trees are as
dead as in November. There will be
from one third to one half a crop of
corn and only the first planting of
potatoes made anywhere near a full
crop. Water is getting very scarce.

in securing such a one as matron.
One other teacher has yet to be Sc
cured as the lady who was expected
will be unable to come on account of
her mothers health. Negotiations are
on foot to secure one to take her place
as soon as possible.
A new plan has been suggested and
will be discussed by the faculty when
they meet and it will probably be put
in operation at once. The school will
open at eight o'clock instead of nine
and will run through till one with but
one short intermission, closing at one
for the day. Lunch will be served to
the Boarding students at l D. m. and
at las work will begin thus giving at
least four hours each day for industrial
work. AS regards our new buildings;
The Board expects to build a house
for the President Immediately and an
other new building is to be erected as
soon after as possible.
