Barton School Census Puzzles
Authorities.

There has been a great deal of
comment in local school circles,
during the past six months, about
the total enrolment given out last
spring, for the Barton county
schools, say the Lamar Democrat
1t will be remembered that it
shows a gain Of about a thousand
over that of the previous years.
and all the gain was in girl pupils.
The figures were astounding, and
the only way any sensible person
could account for them was to
conclude that the reports of the To-
cal teachers had been padded.
Just how this padding would all be
done upon the girls side OF the
register when if it was done, it
was done by great many teachers
in different districts, decpens the
mystery. ~
Superintendent L. f. Brous an
nounced, Saturday. that he was
convinced that the enrolment was
honest. For the number of girl
pupils to jump up in one year.
from about twenty. two hundred to
more than three thousand, when
the number of boys made no in,
crease, he admitted was an un
heard Of thing, that could not be
accounted for by any of the known
rules of statistics, but he believed
that it actually did occur.
He says, further, that in his vis-
its of the country schools, during
the present fall, he has found ten
districts wherein the enrolment is
greater than the enumeration.
If the figures are right, how
many old maids will Barton coun-
ty have ten or fifteen years from
now, with an excess of thousand
marriageable women, over the
number of marriageablc men? It's
question for serious consideration.

Prosperity Has Disastrous Fire.

Webb City. Mo, Nov. 3o-Six
of Prosperity's most pretentious
buildings we're burned to ths
ground early this morning in fire,
which was evidently incendiary
and originated in the upstairs
rooms of the old saloon building
which was owned by Sam Keller
of Joplin, The blaze was discov-
cred shortly after one o'clock a
brick building, east of the burned
district prevented the entire south
side of Main street burning, from
the railroad tract to the section
line.
DR.. leans owned two of the
buildings, In one he had his drug
store and in the other was the
pool hall Tom Stacy owned the
building west of the Jeans build
ing. In this building was a pool
hall and the cold drink establish
ment, which was recently raided as
an alleged blind tiger, Sam Keller
Jim Flannery and Tony Caylor also
lost small buildings.

Uriah Smith has sold his farm of
SO acres, located ten miles north
west of Carthage to James Lamb
Tower Hill, Ills, who paid him
there for $1,000 or SoI.25 per acre.
Mr.. Lamb will get possession Jam
uary I and will move his family
here and occupy the farm by that
date. Mr. Smith will move to Car
thage to reside in order to give his
boys the benefit of the Carthage
public schools. 1t is probable he
will take deputyship in the cir
cult clerks Office under the new
circuit clerk, Miss Della Sharp

HANDLINGS SOILS IN THE
oZARKS.
The Missouri Agriculture College
Demonstrates Profitable sys-
TENS Of Farming.

A bulletin recently published by
the college of agriculture, univer-
sity Of Missouri Columbia, Mo-,
gives in detail the treatment of the
soils of the Ozark region of Missou-
ri. 1T is a region adapted to
dairying. to sheep raising. to the
production of hogs and stock cat
tie, and in certain sections to the
production of fruit" SAYS Prof.
M. f. Miller of the agronomy de-
partment of the university Of Mis-
souri.
The chemical composition of the
various soil types has been deter
mined to show the amounts of
available plant Sfood in the soil.
This was done to aid in carrying on
practicaleXperiments in that region
At the different experiment sta
tions in the Ozark region expert
ments with the adaptability of al
falfa, use of commercial fertilizers,
use of soiling crops, handling of
crosses and pastures, and expert
ments with grains are carried on
with great success, By means of
these experiments the Missouri
Experiment Station is pointing the
way to a more profitable agricul-
ture for the Ozafh country.

Milford Hopes for Railroad.

Barton county, according to
dope now being given out on the
subject, hopes for another railroad.
1t seems that a western Kansas
railway promoter wrote Milford
parties early in the year, concern
ing an east and west railroad thru
the county, and asking Milford for
a STA 900 bonus. After some cor
respondence this was cut to So, COO,
and which amount it is said Mil
ford has now raised.
The road as now contemplated
will intersect the Missouri Pacific
either at Irwin, or at a point be-
tween Irwin and Lamar and will
extend to Stockton, via Jerico,
both of which cities have promised
liberal bonuses.

New Workers are just beginning to

be that New Workers, "by and large"
are a very rude lot, and the New

it even before F. Hopkinson Smith
told them so. But as r. Hopkinson

press, he isn't sorry he mentioned
the matter.

lime was When the proud boast
of every citizen of the United States
was, with the educational advan-
tages offered, every man was the
equal Of his neighbour
Money didn't cut so much ice; the
vulgar display Of great wealth was
rated as vulgar display, and nothing
more.
It is hard to tell what induced
the change in the people of the Uni
ted States.
1t may have come with the high
er education" which sent our girls
and young men abroad, where they
first absorbed the longings for titles
and the manners and vices Of the So
called mobility"
To this great class Of wealthy
Americans was attracted an equally
large class of foreigners who needed
the money.
With their artificiality of living it
was al easy matter for the children
Of the neW-rich to become identified
with the mode, and the rest is his
tory. Scarcely day goes by that
the marriage of rich young women
of the United States is not recorded
more or less fulsomely by the press,
and the divorces and domestic trOu-
bles of other rich young women who
have gone before, are just as popu-
lar daily features.
When a young man who has moth
ing to recommend him but his name
(made more or less famous prob
ably by his father), marries young
woman whose only distinguishing
feature seems to be poverty, the
great press Of the United States, al
most to a unit, turns handsprings
of establishment and rains gobs of
ink all over it's front page to an
nOunce "Secretary's son marries
poor young woman!" And the sec
rotary (whose proud boast in pre-
election days was that he came Of
the people, whom he was most anx-
ious to serve), wakes wroth and
turns the SON cut to shift for him
self.
This is probably the very best
thing that could happen to the
young man, but what is there re-
markable about an ordinary young
man choosing to marry an ordinary
young woman? This is where the
press steps in and all the bromedian
expressions are hauled from the type
box, and the young woman of poor,
OAC AAOASSC' Pc@A NINoSC1 40 AAC1O up
for inspection.
The parents of the young man are
commiserated; his career is "spoil-
ed" The designing" young woman
is made to appear as more or less of
siren Of mature years who has skill
fully "rOped in" the unsuspecting
young man, and so on.
The chances are very largely in
favor Of the girl needing all the SYM
pathy that may be floating around
loose. Unless the young man de-
velops some hitherto unknown traits,
the young woman will be taking in
washing, or back to the ribbon
counter" will be her lot.
When the rich young woman mar
ries little foreign monkey Of a
man, the same press, with one &C
cord, will spout ink rhapsodies, and
everything from the brides slippers
to the half-smoked cigarette the
groom throws away will come in for
descriptive photographs.
And the lack Of money in one case,
with the possession of it in another,
is the only ground on which to base
the difference Of the newspaper atti-
tude.

decidedly simple, what is it?
