lows:
The producers of everything that
grows on top or under the ground are
the ones that get the money. Too
many farmers have moved to town.
Too many young men are playing
baseball, golf, and basketball, riding
in automobiles, and smoking cigar
cites. Plenty of consumers and not
enough producers
1t may be said in favor of these ex-
plantations that decreased production

PLANTATION in one case. When one
packer reports that his receipts of
hogs SO far this year are only IS per
cent of what they were during the
same period two years ago, one does
not have to be especially wise to un.
derstand that prices must go up in
this case. This same man declares
that 100000 fewer hogs reached
forty-nine markets in 1909 than in
1908.

Secretary Barr said he has been in

student of psychology and that in
speaking with a teacher he learned
that by the laws Of association the
teachers mental efforts are the same

"As children are, so are the angels. .
The speaker combined with-it the law
of Pythagoras, that things equal to
themselves are equal to each other;
therefore, teachers are like angels.

When it comes to question of
school work, President Hughes of the
board believed that he had been in
almost every part of the work that a
school teacher could be, from sitting
in log school house to his present
position as president of the school
board. During this experience his
idea has been of the Surroundings; that
teachers now have much better enyi-
ronmeilts and he advanced the belief
that in ten years the Wells and Carey
schools will not be tolerated.

SCHEDULE NO, 8
WAS ADOPTED
Central Association Now Has calen-
dar Of Playing Dates Which is
Undergoing Slight
Revision.
MEETING AT MONMOUTH
Keokuk Will Open the Season at
Galesbura and Will Have TWO
Holiday Games During
the Season.

The playing schedule known as
schedule No. 8 was adopted by the d.
rectors' meeting of the Central Asso-
citation held at Monmouth yesterday
afternoon, which was called by Presi-
dent Justice for that purpose. 1t was
adopted with only few minor
changes being made and with prac-
tically no opposition, only one city out
of the eight voting against it.
When the proposed schedules that
have been in the hands Of the var
ious arrangements Of the teams In the
league for some time were presented
for adoption not any Of them found
favor. The largest amount Of favor,
however, was conferred on schedule
No. 8, and most of the cities seemed
to favor it provided several minor
changes were made. To make these
changes, Harry Hofer,i of Quincy,
Hugh Hill, of Kewanee, and Bert
Hough, of Galesburg, were appointed
as a committee to make the revision.
The principal change was the shift
ing OF several series around to short
en- series that Kewanee had under
the schedule as it stood as was sub
mitted. Ottumwa was the only city
voting against it.
The teams will pen as follows:
Keokuk at Galesburg. Monmouth at
Kewanee and Hannibal at Burlington.
Galesburg will have twelve Sundays
and one holiday; Kewanee eleven
Sundays and one holiday; Burlington
twelve Sundays and one holiday: Keo
kuk eleven Sundays and two holidays;
Monmouth no SUNDAYS and two holi
days: Hannibal eleven Sundays and
two holidays.

A Few Toasts.


Following the repast a number OF
toasts were given, many of which con-
tanned many little things of interest
concerning events leading UP to the
building of the new Washington
school. Superintendent William Aid.
rich acted as toastmaster.
The first to respond was E. s. Pat

He said he felt at one time during
his life that he would like to be in

The great 12-day campaign for the

Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. building i'm this
city, which came to close Thursday
night at midnight, was by all means
the hardest undertaking ever attempt
ed here and despite the many obstacles
that have been placed in the way OF
the workers, it has been a grand sue
cess. To raise $4,000 in a period of
less than two weeks seems like an
undertaking that not many people
would undertake, but the leaders of
the Y. NJ. c. A. have done it before
and at the outset felt confident that
they would succeed in this city. They
have succeeded in more ways than
one. 1t has brought out the fact that
the citizens of Waterville can be de-
pended upon to work for a worthy
OBJECT and to the many teams and
leaders belongs a lions share of the
praise.
