|0LD MAIDS REIGN
School Superintendent Extols
Ability and Gives Them
the Preference.
MARRIED WOMEN BARRED

Des Moines, Ia. Sept. S.-Old maid
school MAINS are at premium in Des
Moines. The odium attached by joke
smiths has been removed by w. o.
Riddell. superintendent OF schools, who
declares the old maid to be the best
Instructor for children.
In opening the schools this week
Riddell issued an order that instruc-
tors over the age of 2S be given the
preference in making appointments.
Il find that the best teachers are
women over 90 years of age" says SUI
perintendent Riddell, and henceforth
they will be given the preference over
the very young women"
That Mr.. Riddell is a farm believer
in the educational value of the old
that he enforces rule that no mar
ried woman may be teacher in the
public schools. That Mr.. Riddell's
ideal of an old maid is evidenced by a
further rule that no teacher shall be
given a position In Des Moines until
she has had three years experience
teaching in village or rural schools.
or two years actual teaching in a good
graded school.
The superintendent prejudice
against the high school graduate with
fluffy gowns and fetching curls may
be the result of the fact that for sew
eral years the corps of Des Moines
teachers has been sadly depleted by
matrimony.
That it has been impossible so far
to get enough old maids is admitted.
SO there is a wide field in Des Moines
for the aspirations of teachers OF ma.
ture years. Because of the, standing
of Superintendent Riddell, Des Moines
is becoming known throughout the
state for it's ''old maid" school system.

Comrades Speak for St. Cloud.

We print valuable communications
from the officers of the Veterans Asso-
citation and other of the veteran citi-
zens of st. Cloud. and could fill col
umns with strong words from those who
believe in the colony. From a letter
written by Prof. ]. T. Bearss, of the
Kearney Park Branch Station of the
College of Agriculture of the State OF
California, dated Aug. 81. we quote the
Introductory paragraph. as follows:
Il returned from st. Cloud a few
days since. and viii say I am perfectly
satisfied with my investment of S4OO,
and regret l did not invest more"
Prof. Pe2rss went carefully over con-
ditiOns, like the practical man he Is,
and was greatly impressed with the re-
sources and possibilities of the St
Cloud region. Hc is n man of long ex-
perience in agricultural affairs, and
spoke most encouragingly OF what was
possible here in F'loTida's genial climate
when men worked in harmony with
Nature. The secret of success in agri-
culture as in anything cFSe is to do the
right thing at the right time, and that
comes with intelligent industry, expert
ence and observation.
The National tribune., 1910-10-06
st. Cloud Has the Only National Bank
i'll OsceoIa County.

When it was proposed to esta blish a
bank, the comrades interested in st.
Cloud promptly subscribed over $780,
O00 10 the capital stock. twice as much
as the United States Comptroller Of the
Currency considered necessary. and on
his suggestion the capital stock was
placed III $4,000. with $4,000 surplus.
The first quarterly report of the banks
operations. us required Under the law,
appeared June so, 1910, and showed
resources amounting to s131.076.1S.
The affairs of the bank are ably and
most accommOdatingly conducted by
Cashier J. w. Squires. who came from
Ohio, and Comrade Martin, who came
from Kentucky. but native of New
England, is his assistant.
The general officers of the bank are
w. II. Lynn, President; John NJ. Lee,
Vice President. and these two, with P.
A. Vans -Agnew, +. Nelson Fells and
w. g. King. constitute the Board Of
Directors.
The building is of white brick, IS
feet deep, % feet wide. and two stories
high, with two massive concrete col
umns in front, and the whole has an
appearance of solidity well calculated
to inspire confidence. While the ex-
terror impresses the visitor, Cne only
needs to go inside to find one OF the
best-equipped banking establishments of
Florida. The second floor is divided
into six Office rooms.

The st. Cloud Public Schoo'.

Work is being pushed on the new
brick school building, under the direc-
tion Of c. j. Duffy, of Jacksonville. who
is also experimenting the construction
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
new building will be Of white lime-sand
brick, two stories high. with buff brick
trimmings. The plans provide for two
rooms, 20 by 80 feet, on each floor, with
wide halls dividing them and broad
stairway leading to the second floor
Lockers will be provided for hanging
up hats and wraps. The building will
be wired for electric lights and piped
for water, and in all particulars will be
up to date. 1t faces north with large

to reason with or call that mans at
tention to the fact that all about him
are evidences of the fact that this state
ments are unfounded. 1t is wasted
breath Nor yet is il true that we are
confined to the culture of citrus fruits.
We grow (and successfully, too) much
known as standard crops in the North.
/ have seen as fine fields of corn, Irish
potatoes, not to mention cabbage, beets.
peas, celery. turnips and beans, as one
finds North or West, while sweet
potatoes are a fine yield and easily
grown. sugar cane does exceedingly
well and the leguminous crops-cow-
peas, velvet beans, etc.-give large
yields. In season the woods are full Of
wild berries. When the snow covers
the Northern States strawberries and
many kinds of vegetables are growing
in the open at st. Cloud. Now, what
the eye sees, and we handle, taste and
feed upon, must be a reality. We who
are here and observe. know these
things to be facts. We do not object
TO fair criticism, or fair comparison
with other localities, but we do resent
an unfair, unmanly, and oft-times un-
truthful attack on conditions here, and
undcserved assaults on the land com
pany back of the enterprise. We do
object to illy-informed- men rushing
into print with statements absolutely
dstitute Of truh. Likewise we have
decided opinions regarding that type
of journalism that will open its col
umns TO ISLANDERS. and when in most
dignified terms answer is made refuse
q hearing. Such people must be either
wilfully blind, have a private grudge, or
be the paid instruments of interests in
tmfcle to our Colony.
'3. Our climate is healthful At
no point has St Cloud been so Viciously
assailed as in attempts to create the i'm
preston that our town is literal death
trap. 1t has been stated that our death
rate has been as high as eight per
day. The facts are that st. Cloud is
an unusually healthful place To be
sure, people get sick and die here, but
what region or cline is immune from
Illness and death? 1t must be borne
in mind that a large per cent of our
population are aged. The civil war vet
eran is an old man now. His life eX-
pectation is narrowed down. Like that
beautiful custom obtaining among
American sailors, who, during the first
half voyage sing their songs to the
