the steel trust, the coffee trust and a number of other corporations who are trying to impose on the public and enrich themselves unjustly.
 These corporations dictate the prices they pay for raw material and dictate the prices that the consumer must pay for the finished articles. For instance, the beef trust dictates what the livestock ranchman shall receive for his stock and what the consumer shall pay for his beefsteals and pork chops.
 This condition of things practically gives the trusts of the country the right to run their hands in your pockets and do as they please, and has become unbearable and the movement that is sweeping over this country is strike at the bosses of the Republican States of the North and the Democratic States in the South and it will teach our senators and congressman, as they have never appreciated before, that they are sent to congress to serve the people and to be their servants and not their 
 The fact of it is, the House and Senate are full of corporation law yers and members of the boards of directors of companies, but it looks as if the next congress would have clean Democrats and Republicans to pass laws and govern our country.

Political Rumblings.
(Our Washington Letter.

ACAA " koi1 A+ttttAsj
 The political overturning of the state of Maine, which has always voted the same way for more than fifty years without a substantial break, has created untold astonish- ment and set many minds to think ing of what it all means.
 It means that first of all, the spirit of insurg ency is overwhelming throughout this country. In the Eastern states these radical changes are drifting towards Democracy, and in the Middle West these changes mean the overthrow of what is called the stand pat" Republicans in favor of the Progressive Republicans, who are led by Roosevelt, Bristow, Cum mings and LaFollette. This country is now going through what is really a battle with the masses against the privileged classes.
 It has always been the endeavor of few to ride upon the backs of the many and this country is no ex- ception to the rule.

Schools, Teachers, Pupils and Patrons Devoted to the Beering of the School Interests in Polk County

At a recent teachers meeting held at Board Camp resolution was passed requesting Professors Adams and Trainer to compile suggestive course of study for Polk county schools and submit it at the annual asssocia- tion meeting to be held in Mena in No- vember next.
 These gentlemen are each extreme ly busy and will be for some time, hence The Star has thought it well worth while to have them suggest a few sample pages, or part of such a course in its columns. Thinking that such plan would enable more teach CTS to see and to understand their ideas concerning a definite course, they have consented to furnish an outline for a practical course which can be used in every school if desired. These gentlemen apologize for any thing superfluous, ascribing it to lack of time to digest results.
 They present division, or period, in the branches named:
 EIGHTH GRADE--MINIMUM WORK.
 First Period
 Arithmetic. a-Base and rate given to find the percentage. b-Base and percentage given to find the rate. c-The percentage and rate given to find the base. 1.-The sum of differ ence of the base and percentage and the rate given to find the base. Solve all problems in the proceeding. When all problems are well understood fix definitions for percentage, base, rate, and interests where analysis is not used require the rules memorized in connection with the problems.
 MAXIMUM WORK.
 Fix formulas; analyze a few typical problems, show that the base is the multiplicand, the rate the multiplier and the percentage is the product; show similar applications in division where finding the rate is the proof of multiplication in finding the percent age. Teach aliquot parts of 100 and solve a few problems by using frac- tions. Find numerous problems from other texts and solve or make up

Ten Things to Do This Month.

Repin sowing winter oats: Keen on working all land intended for winter grains. making 1t as flne and firm as possible.
 2. Sow cover crops, rye, vetch, crimson clover, rape, etc., wherever YOU can. Sow some pasture lots for the hogs, and one for the chickens, 3. Cut up the corn when ripe. shock loosely and shred the stover If a shredder comes your way. This, of course, if you haven't sllo to put it in.
 4. Save the cowpeas, soy beans and other hay crops. Don't neglect even the crabgrass. Too much hay in the south is thing unknown. 5. Save seeds---make the best pos sible selections in the corn field be, fore cutting, and in the cotton field before picking. Insure cowpeas and soy beans for planting. Save also a supply of garden seeds.
 6. Plant fall garden stuff-let- tuce, radisheS, onions, etc. Prepare land for setting fruit trees and small fruits.
 7. Keep the hogs going their best. Add some'grain to what they get in the pastures. Give the cows some grain. too, if pastures get dry. 8. Get next winters supply of wood ready, and put it under con veniently located woodshed where it will keep dry.
 See about your roads; if they need | improvement talk it over with your neighbors and decide on plan. Make road drag some rainy day.
 10. Visit your schools; help the children all you can; consult with the teacher. and then cooperate with her.-Starkville (Miss.) Pro gressive Farmer and Gazette.

 NOTES ON PROCEEDING.
 The periods work is to be done by the pupil and the teacher whenever the latter considers his class ready for it. This may be at any time; to illustrate: A class may not reach this subject until midwinter, if so, study this period when ready. Again, pu- pills may be proficient in decimals and can handle percentage at any time by omiting some topic until this period S work is done.
 Suggestive examinations should be made up by some one in authority or authorized to do so by the Teacher S Association.
 Helps in how to teach percentage will be in order from those who teach it.
 It would be well for those who have passed over this subject to have one or two review lessons before writing upon an examination.
 It will be noticed that the outline calls for essentials only.
 N. o. White and Guilford Bates of Opal, Prof John Trainer of Dallas, Mrs. R. A. Montgomery and Miss Mabel Hughes of Holly Springs have each received twenty copies of the lit tie classics which they will use in their schools. So soon as they are through with their sets, arrangements will be made for exchanging with each other and then with other schools.
 From all reports Prof. John Trainer of Dallas is not only proficient in in- structing and training the youth of the land, but has acquired the faculty of doing as much with the Polk county lizards He is said to wear one about as an ornament on some occasions, and has educated others to wait at the gate for his return home in order to get their backs scratched.
