Should Agriculture be Taught in
the District School, and by VIII ON" ?
This question was widely disc used.
Mr. McGlockne, the leader on the topic,
thinks that it should be taught and that
the teacher should teach it, who would
in that case necessarily be normal
graduate. Many thought there would
be no time to teach it, but all agreed
that boy or girl who expected to live
on farm should have some education
in that line, and as few boys ever &c
beyond the district school where are
they to get it?

How Should the Farmer Invest
His Surplus Money!" No one Sc emed
to have given this question much
thought, as few had any suggestions tc
make. Mr.. Hills would use surplus
money for putting in tile drainage and
other improvements on the farm. An
other gentleman would have an auto
mobile and race. horse.
Can the Farmer and the Farmer
Wife Adapt Themselves to the Ten
Hour System? All agreed that the.
could not because they are too am
bilious and have too much work TO do

mathematics and English, in the Owosso
high school, left the city Saturday night
for Monson, Mass, the home of the

reasonable reason for their departure.
1t has since been stated that both were
users of drugs and that one of them
seemed to have queer influence over
the other.
The board of education, on being told
OF the intention of the teachers to leave
found it to be true and made provision
for filing the vacancy by engaging Miss
Abigail Chandler of this city, to teach
German and history, and Miss Gertrude
Irlsnd of Washington, D. C., to teach
English and mathematics. Both are U.

FAIL IN THEIR MISSION.
Federal Authorities Decide Not tt
Change Site for WaxaIiachie
Government Building.

Washington, Feb 9.-J NJ. Al
derdice and George w. Mcknight OF
Waxahachie, who came here several
days ago in the hope OF persuading
the treasury officials TO change their
decision with respect to the site for
the postoffice in their city left for
home yesterday afternoon without
having accomplished what they
came for. They saw Assistant Secre-
tary Winthrop, who Is Immediately
in charge of public building matters
and were told that since the govern
ment had assumed contractrial
obligation to take the site chosen no
change could be made The site cho-
sen is not the one recommended by
the inspector sent to choose, and, ac-
eording TO Messrs Alderdlce and
Mcknight, it Is less convenient and
more costly. The inspector recon-
mended a site near the square, and
his recommendation was indorsed
by Assistant Secretary Winthrop.
But the matter was taken up to Sec
retary Cortelyou and the other site
chosen. This has given rise to stories
of the exercise OF political influence,
but these stories have not been sub
stantiated.

ing from an unknown cause and
spreading so rapidly that there was
no chance to save the building, fire
at 1870 a. m. completely destroyed
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
roads creosoting plant, located four
miles from Greenville, on the Mine

saved, their salvation being due to
the fact that they are fireproof. The
loss, which is estimated at between

ELLIS MAKES A FINE SHOWING
Report on Vital Statistics Shows a
Low Mortality Rate

1t will certainly be gratifying
news to the people of Ellis county to
learn that this county has one of the
lowest mortality rates of any coun-
ty in the state. This fact has been
called to the attention of DR.. VIM
NJ. Brumby, state health officer, and
he has made this the subject OF a
complimentary letter addressed to
County Clerk John M. Loggins. The
report of Mr.. Loggins on vital sta
tistics for the month of January
shows that there were about five
births for every death. DR.. rumby' s
letter in full is as follows:
Austin, Tex, Feb. 8, 1909.-Mr
John NJ. Loggins, County Clerk
Waxahachie, Texas My Dear Sir:
1t affords me much pleasure to ac~
knowledge receipt of your report of
vital and mortuary statistics for the
month of January. Permit me to
thank you for your prompt and eff
cient service you have rendered us
with respect to making these re-
ports.
The report Just received from you
has had my careful attention, and
wish to congratulate your people
on the most excellent showing 1t
makes Ellis county we have consid-
cred among the counties of high
mortality, but when we received a
report like this one showing practl-
cally five births to one death, it has
a decided tendency to modify for
mer views on this subject. This is
certainly most gratifying report,
and we are glad to see such condl-
tions prevailing. ] want to thank you
for your promptness in reporting,
and also thank the physicians OF
your county for their cooperation
with the office in making the reports
so full to you, and by the way there
must be some good cause for the
decreasing death rate, and we sus-
pect that your health officer must be
doing his duty well.
If all the reports which reach this
Office came UP to the standard OF
Ellis, we should soon be attracting
the attention of the world to Texas.
This is the best advertisement
your county could have, and we GER
taintly trust that conditions viii
continue to improce.
