DINNER ESPECIALLY PRE-
PARED FOR HIM.

be the Oldest Living Cyclist in
the World, Was Saluted by
President Mckinley.

Marinette.-James A. Rape, vet
eran of three wars and believed to
be the oldest cyclist in the world,
recently observed his ninety-tifth
birthday anniversary.
Although he has given up riding
his wheel, except at rare intervals
during the last year, his health is
good and he has the coloring of a
strong man Of 10 in his cheeks. He
makes a trip uptown every day on
foot and was the guest of honor at
a dinner in a local hotel by a large
number of his friends.
Mr.. Rape fought in the Mexican
war. the Seminole Indian war and
the civil war. After the civil war he
lived for a time in Fond du Lac and
Hermansville. He came to Marinette
in 1885.
In 1899 Mr.. Rape walked 700
miles to attend the grand army en-
campment and covered the distance
in twenty-seven and a half days. The
next year he planned to walk to Phll-
adelphia for the same purpose, but
was persuaded to ride wheel. He
learned to ride in ten days and made
the trip from Marinette to Philadel-
phia in thirty days.
In Philadelphia the aged veteran
rode near the head of the big parade
and was saluted by President Mckin'
ley from the reviewing stand. After
the encampment his trip was contin
ued to Camden n. j., where the ole
warrior was extended many honorS
by citizens. From that time on he
rode a wheel much until the present
year.
James A. Rape was born in Fort
StanwiX, n. Y, on Sept. IS, 1915
near where the present city OF Rome

regular nominees OF the Democratic
party IN that county. entitled to have
their names placed on the ohlcial
ballot as such for the general cleo

NEW EQUIPMENT Of SCHOOLS
Idea Adopted In Washington Removes
!. Feat Of Formally by Making Fam
lily Groups Of the Children.

To take away the old fear OF the
stiff-dlsciplil ed schoolrooms and make
them into a nice little meeting place,
where children have a splendid time,
and incidentally learn more and better
lessons than children ever learned be-
fore. an entirely new experiment Will
be tried which will result In an enor-
NOUS investment in new furniture, II
the scheme Is shown to be practica-
BILE.
The idea Is from the brains OF
Stephen e. Kramer. director of inter
mediate instruction. and John A.
Chamberlain. supervisor OF manual
training, and is brand new in school
circles.
The scheme has to do with the lit
tie stiff-legged desks which the chill
dren in the first and second grades
have studied at from the early times
when desks supplanted the old-fash-
ioned forms" The desks sit In rows.
formal and formidable, and the black
iron legs of the desks and the stiff-
ness with which these little pieces OF
furniture sit on the floor all add to the
strictness Of discipline which In these
latter days is beginning to be looked
upon as having disadvantages as well
as advantages.
Mr. Kramer has devised little Ia
BILE desk, only few pounds In weight.
which any firstgrade child can lit
up and carry around the room. Mr..
chamberlain drew the plans and
made the models. A little chair goes
with each small table desk, and both
desk and chair can be picked up and
carried anywhere in the schoolroom.
When the teacher wants to tell them
a simple tale of how one and one
makes two. they will pick up their lit
tie chairs, push aside the desks and
sit around the teachers chair In a
very fascinating little family group.
The chairs and desks have rubber
tipped feet, so there will be little
noise.
In this way the teacher will get
right in among her children. When
she is demonstrating at the black
board the little boys and girls Will
bring their chairs and sit close to her
AS everyone knows, the present
method of having straight and stih
lines Of desks and chairs makes 1t i'm
iperative that some of the children will
have to sit far off in the back row.
The idea will gain favor, it Is be-
lieved, and will also take away 1T
tile of the first fear of the schoolroom
that small children have.-Washing-

sparrows XII, Turkeys.

English sparrows kill turkeys In Rhode Island according to Dr. Philip B. Hadley. They convey the black head" disease, whose fatal prevalence among turkeys Is threatening the ruin of turkey farming in the state. Dr. Hadley says that poultry, generally game birds. and some wild song birds. have the amoeba or coccldlum which causes the disease. and so why he lays all the blame to the English sparrow does not quite appear, unless because the little pest has earned so bad a name on other accounts. The British grouse are troubled in way similar to the turkey. And the seri- ousness of the case is illustrated by Dr. Hadley in the statement that whereas 30 years ago Block island alone used to send out more than 4O.' 900 pounds a year. the turkeys now raised there can only be counted by dozens.

Arkansas May Get 2 Counties

Beebe, Aug. 26.-It is possi- ble that two more counties will be added to Arkansas. This is the report current in North Ar kansas, emanating from the capi- tai of Missouri. The counties are those of Peniscot and Dunklin now in Missouri, just east of Green and Clay counties in Ark ansas. It is said that mistake was made by the surveyors who laid off the state boundaries and that the two counties in question really belong to Arkansas A glance at the map of Arkansas would seem to show that the counties logically belong to Ark ansas for they represent a notch of land apparently lifted bodily out of the northeast corner of Arkansas and similar on the map of Missouri it appears as a pro lection devetailed into Arkansas. Furthermore were it not for this projection of Missouri into Arkansas the line which marks the northern boundary of Arkan. sas would form a practical con tinuation of the northern bound = ary of Tennessee, the same line running as the northern bound ary of North Carolina to the At lantic ocean. An investigation of the matter is said to be under way.
