Hax. CIV Sin on the hdsn.

Again has it been recognized and
honored. At the State Teachers As
ISOLATION held at Topeka last week with
over 1000 teachers present from all
over the state, they elected President
Strong of the State University as
President, but they came way out to
western Kansas, to Hays City and
unanimously elected Miss Julia Stone,
the teacher of the Country District
School of the Western State Normal.
as First Vice President. This is a
grand recognition Of this important
branch of the school. At the time of
her appointment she was here teaching
her little tots while all the rest of the
State Normal teachers were taking a
vacation or were at the Association,
showing another case of where the of
fee sought the selected one.
It again illustrates the Free Prees
contention that this is one of the most
important branches of our State Nor
NAL School and why we protested on
the department being put down in a
basement where it was not TRUE ex-
hibit of real Country District School.
We had no objection to the boarding
house, (back in New Jersey the Normal
and Model School have their state dor
matories and eating department and
are grand success), but we did not
want to see the District School lose its
identity, lose the very thing it was es-
tablished for.
There is no more important study and
training for the thousands of country
teachers, the thousands of country
district school officers than q Model
District School where those teachers
can see how their school should be
kept, and where those school officers
can see how coy, inviting and profit
able for their district and children a
country school house can be made at
little expense. And we are glad of the
selection of Miss Stone for the office as
it will bring this branch of our school
work much more to the front and
demonstrate its Importance.
Miss Stene has the congratulations
of our whole county, in fact of all
western Kansas in receiving the honor.

William Harley Chadwick, OF Provl-
denee, R. L, has issued a letter that car
RES with It a number OF interesting and
thoughtful suggestions which should en-
gage the attention OF manufacturers IN
textile lines throughout the South. The
text OF the letter follows:
With ali the facilities that the South
possesses it seems remarkable that there
Is not one printing corporation establish
ed there, while their name Is legion in
the North.
Either the cotton or the cloth has 10 be
shipped 1000 miles or more from the
South to Eastern cities, there 20 be manu-
featured and printed and then reshipped
10 the South and Middle West. where the
market is for the great bulk Of those
goods. especially in the lighter grades OF
goods, such as 81 by Ga printers, &c. a
great part OF which are manufactured In
the South. In this particular class Of
goods alone there are two printing corpo-
rations in FAN River. Mass. producing
on an average $4,000 pieces OF fifty yards
per week. or S75,0OO.oo0 yards annually.
Could BE Made south.
There is no more reason why this cloth
should not be produced in the South than
there is that the goods should not be
manufactured there. but there IS every
reason why they should be, and make a
handsome profit. The freight alone OF
something like 60 cents on the Io0 pounds
represents a good profit in itself: then
there Is cheap land. moderate taxes. and
the wonderful water power that is being
developed at the present time
The question OF labor. our Northern
friends say. prevents the possibilities Of
success in the South In this line Of BUSH
ness. but can say from experience that
in the East at least 50 per cent Of the la
Dor used in the particular concerns I
have quoted is immigrant or "dagO" help.
which cannot compare with the help
which IS found IN the Southern cotton
mills at the present time. particularly in
North and South Carolina
Most OF the print cloth that IS manu-
featured IN the South Is OF a better stand
ard than is manufactured in the East.
and can be produced cheaper. which Is
demonstrated Dy the fact that freight can
be paid 10 the East from as fer as Texas
and compete with Eastern prices.
That there is big profit IN the business
Is shown by the two companies have
mentioned. which have grown within a
decade from comparative insignihcance
TO enormous proportions. One controls at
the present time 10000 spindles and 1900
looms, and the other has grown TO about
one-third this size in very few years.

This year the oats acreage has been in
creased materially, and the yield has

Ohio gained more in her oats crop than
she lost in wheat, not only IN bushels but
