ELECT REPUBLICANS
A Republican House Necessary at

protective system and malt business
by a threatened revision OF the
whole tariff on revenue basis or ii

In these words, President Taft
clearly states the main issue which
presents itself this fall to the Re-
puplicans and the intelligent voters
OF the country. 1.-THE Republicans
are victorious and contine to con-
troll congress, there will be con-
tinuance OF progress, legielation,

as marked the last congress. The
party, which passed the postal saw

the next congress will continue to
carry out the pledges OF the Repub-
lican platform. The postal re-
organization bill OF Senator Carter,
of Montana, placing the entire
postal system on a business basis
and saving to the country annually
many millions Of dollars. will be
one the first acts to come up for
consideration.
II the Democratic party wins the
lower house, there can only be
chaos at Washington. This means
that business In every sectIonot
the country will be hurt-even
thought it will give the wall street
bankers and trust barons a two
years breathing spell,in which to

gressive legislation, advocated by

forty minutes, the referee gave tn Z

understand Finn had the best OF
the bout all the way through, and
no time Of being in any danger Of
being thrown, but as the referee
was a close friend of Melvin he let
his friendship get away with his
judgement. There is no doubt but
that Melvin is a very clever man
on the mat, but he is not there
when il comes to 60 up against q

real objects geographical pictures are best. Make lessons short but full of life. Teacher should plan the recita- tion and class work beforehand.
 The next period should include the idea of place, direction and distance and will not be outlined since our ob- ject is simply to try to make the plan understood.
 It will at once be seen that such a course is not a mere curriculum; that it calls for definite work and that it will secure at least minimum work. Such a course will force correct classification. To illustrate: Many classes in the rural schools enter the study of geography before their mem bers can read from the text book in- telligently. The writer has witnessed the experience of a so-called third reader grade attempting to read and recite from an intermediate geography containing many difficult words and sentences.
 This state of affairs should not ex- | ist. The fourth readers in this county should be divided into two-year s course and geography should not be introduced until the second year. We refer to textbook. Where will you place oral geography you askY All below the fourth reader should have lessons in it leading up to the textbook course. Many years are
 being wasted by our careless manner of conducting this study. Geography can be studied and taught as system atically and as intelligently as any other study.
 | We believe that a two-year course in textbook is all sufficient with the
 average pupil, provided the essentials | are selected and fixed.

Gumption On the Farm.
Gather and burn the rubbish.

Gather and burn the ru0DlSh. One forward look is worth forty backward glances.
 Gather pumpkins and squash be- fore hard frost, and store away in dry place (not in a damp cellar. ) Do not leave the old cabbage stumps sticking up out of the ground. They look slovenly and breed fungus pests. Pull them up and burn them.
 ] When killed by the frosts, mow off the asparagus tops and burn them, then give the bed-an the rhubarb plants, too-a thick winter overcoat of stable manure.
 The cultivating season is over and all tools should be cleaned up and housed. One winters exposure to the weather, will do tools more harm than several years use. A good growth of rye plowed in next spring will give you more and better potatoes. But you'll have to get it in right off or you won't have much growth to blow under.
 Just because an ear of corn is large, does not necessarily mske it the best for seed. See that the rows are straight from tip to butt, and that the kernels are all well formed and plump.
 We never like to put potatoes in the cellar when they are at all wet. In bad, catchy weather it is better to stc-e them in an outhouse till they ars thoroughly dried off. They will keep much better, then. Soon the hunters will be out from town, tranping over your fields and pastures, killing your feathered | friends and disturbing if not injur- | ing your stock. It IS we'll to be neighborly, but the birds served you faithfully throu1h the year by de- stroying millions of bugs and insects, and it is your duty to protect them now. Do it.
 If potatoes are inclined to rot, don't be in a hurry to dig yours. Leave them i'll the ground as long as you can before digging. There will be far less waste. have seen some lots of potatoes all go to mush after they were dug; whereas, if they had been left in the earth till cold wealth CT came on, most of them might have been. saved.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN
High School. Central and First Ward Buildings Opened to the Stu
 dents.

Mena's handsome public school buildings, which have stood in silent uselessness during the summer, were stormed and occupied by the young CT generation of the city Monday morning.
 In the High school the almost young ladies and gentlemen gather ed with considerable dignity. The occasion was noted by services, in- cluding songs and short talks by the faithful head of Mena's schools, Prof. w. T. Adams, the new princi- pal of the High school, Prof. w. C.. Bryant, M. B. Legate and J. H. Hamilton of the school board.
 On opening day there are just eight members of the senior class. They are Stella Adams. Ernestine DeLongy, Eva Hoge, Buelah Hughes, Marr Ingram, Margaret Kinsch, Anna Tweedy and Elmer c. David son.
 At the Central building and the First ward school the children, many of them tanned and freckled by the summers play and plump and strong for the work ahead, made unusual efforts to be good while they "sized up" the new teacher and received the list of books they should get their papas to buy.

 K M. Quigley opened The Bank of Mepa in the early days of the city, it heinz the first banking institution es- tablished in Polk county. Later it was converted into national bank. From the beginning it has been one of the very best institutions of this sec tion it's officers conducting it on broad. liberal lines and in every way irving to serve the interests of Mena and it's people.
 The Farmers and Merchants bank. while not established until 1905, has been a thriving institution and in sue ceedine to the business of the oldest hank will under the progressive, push ine management assured by it's off, cers. doubtless have strong influence for the upbuilding of this section of Arkansas.
 The fact that the president of the National Bank of Mena, Mir. R. Nj. Ouieley, was compelled by larger in- terests to live in Colorado, made it impractical for him to give the bank here the attention he thought neces- sary, thus the change.
 In speaking of this MT. Quigley says:
 "Yes, we have turned over our business and good will to the Farmers and Merchants Bank and have sup piled them with cash with which to pay all depositors in full. The National Bank of Mena will still oc- cupy it's same banking house jointly with the Farmers and Merchants Bank until it has collected the money out standing and will then retire in favor of the Farmers and Merchants Bank.

be unable to give my banking busi- ness the necessary attention, and for that reason 1 decided to make this change.
 After deciding to retire from the banking business l took the matter up with MT. Eugene Cox, whom re- garded the best qualified to act as my successor, with the result as I have stated. l feel that through him the interest of my many friends and GUS toners will be best taken care of.
 We have been personal friends since the early days of Mena, when most of its population lived and did business in tents and shacks. We have worked jointly in the up-building of the city, and I have always found him an earnest, faithful and companionabIe worker, who was at all times public spirited knd progressive. While we were competitors in the banking .busi- ness, and each fought the other for business. 1 always found him fighting on the square.
 T am still retaining many interests in Mena and yet have considerable money invested here. I have always had and yet have warm spot in my heart for Meaa. l have watched with pride the little city grow through the untiring efforts of many friends; have co-operated with them and have tryed to do my part. In doing so have formed many close ties of friend ship which shall ever remember with much pleasure and qualification.
 While 1 am operating in the West l shall make my home in Denver, but should my business again cause me to operate in the South or Southwest my home shall be in Mena.
 w. A. Bishop, cashier, H. A. Bab- cock, assistant cashier, and W. A. Finks, of the National Bank of Mena, will continue to look after the affairs of the retiring institution for some time. and some of them will probably remain with the enlarged Farmers and Merchants Bank.
