Teacher Pleased
With Work

The following poem, written by Miss
Bessie Grier, expresses the feeling OF
the teachers towards the summer
school instructors and superinten-
dents:
The teachers institute is mighty
hard to beat,
With Bottineau, Pierce, McHenry and
Ward thinking it treat.
We're pleased with our instructors,
We love them every one,
And some Of us will be sorry
When summer school is done.
The supts. have treated US so fair,
We know we've had enjoyment
And witnessed not a care.
There's Mr.. Crane who managed
things,
AID kept us all in line, =.
A better manager than he,
I'm sure we'd never find.
Misses Cotton, Best and Mr.. Abbot,
l speak not Of their work,
For in all of their classes
No one ever cared to shirk.
Miss Barker and Miss Miller,
I'm sure were Of the best,
Miss Barker kept things going,
She don't believe in rest.
Messrs. Wolfe and Alexander
We all liked very we'll,
And In arith. and lang.
There's nothing left to tell.
Concerning our instructors,
We just have this to say,
We like them everyone. you know,
And wish that they could stay.
The supts. have spoken words to us,
Which always touched the heart,
And in our work have given US 1.
A remarkably good start.
We feel we've gained some knowledge
Well ne'er forget again.
And that We'll ever remember
The institute Of 1910. A
So heres to the faculty one and all,
Will you please be with us again
next fall,
If I were Mr.. Foley would write
much more,
For in his head there's poetry galore,
But when YOU hear my poetry hum,
You'll say Mr.. Foley Is not that teach.
ers chum,
So, farewell, farewell, instructors of
1910,
We sincerely trust you will all come
again. "

When starting on new land he ad-
vises inoculating the soil. The gov
eminent in order to encourage The
growing OF alfalfa, Is offering prizes
for the best ten acres in 1914. The
province has been divided in four sec

has been offered.
First prize-$500.
Second prize-$400.
Third prize-$300.
Fourth prize-$200.
Fourth prize-$200.
Fifth prize-$100.

And a 5000 gold cup sweepstakes.
MIR. Mckay states that as result
a great many letters are coming In
from the farmers who are preparing
to compete for these prizes.
Rye-grass is being grown in place
of bromus, which it has been hard to
kill out and especially in a dry year
and it is almost impossible to kill 1T
around trees. Glover has not done
we'll and when alfalfa does so we'll
there is not so much need Of it.
There were also beautiful flower
beds, fine vegetables, small fruits.
plums, and apples growing and doing
well and all without any watering.
The frost this spring had killed the
fruit, but as a rule they get small
fruit and apples and plums. It Is .
wonderful demonstration OF what can
be done with IL IL inches OF rainfall
when intelligence and persistence
work together and the government Is
certainly to be congratulated upon
having securing the services Of Mr..
Mckay, who has brought about this
wonderful Transformation on q prairie
wheat field and turned this into ~
homelike a place as can be found any
where.

Boss Theodore Goes Home Salts
fed

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 29.-
Theodore Roosevelt returned ear
ly this afternoon from Saratoga
with the scalp of the republican
Old Guard of New York added to
his big collection of trophies.
When he reached Troy, N. Y, last
Monday on his way to Saratoga,
he told the crowd which met him
at the station that he had returned
from Africa with a lot of trophies,
and that when he came back from
Saratoga he would. have some
more. The colonel made good his
word by returning to his home
town the generally accepted lead
er of the republican party in the
state and immensely proud of his
new trophy, to win which he was
compelle dto make one of the
hardest fights of his life.
Colonel Roosevelt went to bed
early tonight to get a good night
sleep for he expects to have little
rest until after election time. He
was tired and hoarse but in fine
spirits. He expressed himself as
vel lpleased with the results of the
convention.

Craig a Candidate.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 28.-"Hon.
Locke Craig, Of Asheville, will GER
tainly be a candidate for governor
before the next democratic state
convention for the nomination, "
declared a western North Carroll
ma man here today-a close per-
sonal friend Of the distinguished
"Mountaineer." CT am fully au-
thorized to make this statement"
said this friend of Nh. Craig who
went on to. say that Mr.. Craig is
reluctant to make a formal an
nouncement at such an early date,
but that in view of the letters and
requests received by him from
every section insisting that he be
a candidate, an dthat he should
let his intentions be known he
feels that it is his duty to his
friends to say that his name will
certainly be before the convention
for the nomination. This friend
also said that it seems to be the
general impression that Mr.. Craig
will be nominated without serious
opposition two years hence.
"There will be no question raised
at that time, either" declared
this western friend of Nh. Craig,
as to the rights of the west to
name the governor and MI. Craig's
party services have been so on
spicuous and his merit is SO pro-
nounced that there appears to be
a nalmost unanimous sentiment in
hi favor.

Funeral OF Aviator Who Flew
Over the Aims.

Domo DsOssola, Italy, Sept. 20.
The funeral of George Chavez,
the South American aviator who
was fatally injured after having
accomplished the unprecedented
feat of flying from Switzerland
over the Alps to Italy, was held
today.
Floral tributes came from all
parts Of Europe, and thousands
of peasants tramped down the
mountain sides, with arms filled
with mountain flowers.
One little girl laid upon the
casket a bunch of edelweiss that
blooms alone amid the eternal
SHOWS of the Alps, bound with a
ribbon upon which had been writ
ten Gathered among the noun
tain peaks over which you flew. !"
An autopsy revealed that the
aviator's heart was displaced by
the shock of the fall.

Get Down to Business.

Says the Chicago journal:
"The good roads movement con-
tinues to receive the endorsement
of everybody and the active sup
port Of nobody" This is not ex-
actly true; much. work is being
done to make better roads, but it
is undeniably true that the amount
of work done. is very small com
pared with what has been said
and written about road improve
ment. We have learned how we
can make good roads, and we
have learned that we must pay for
them if We ever get them. Let us
recognize the fact that it is time
to quit talking and get down to
business.-PrOgreSsive Farmer.
1t surely is time to get down to
business. That is exactly what
the people of this county are
now fac to face with. EVERYBODY
believes in good roads and the
time has come when. we can have
them, but if nobody ever makes a
start, when will good roads ever
come? Never.

Mothers Inhuman Act.

Anderson. S. c., Sept. binary
Gary, a negress, about 80 years
old, last night placed her two lit
tie daughters, aged 2 and 5 years,
i ma barrel half filed with water,
rolled the barrel against her
house and set fire to the house ;
she then departed to a neighbor
nearly a half-mile distant and told
what she had done. The fire
burned rapidly and in a few min
utes the house was one mass of
flames. The 5-year-old girl man
aged to get out of the barrel and
started off for assistance. Before
assistance came, however, the bar
rel had become enmassed in flames
and the httle3-year-old girl was
burned to- a crisp.
The woman talked as if she req
allied the seriousness of her acts.
Her mind does not seem to be af-
fected, though she claims that the
death of her child last March made
her go nearly crazy. The woman
testified before the coroner's jury
and made a complete confession.

Every Man in Court Searched by
Soldiers.

Stafford, KY, Sept. 28.-Every
one entering the courtroom was
searched by soldiers of the Som
crest company of militia, which is
here guarding Shay Shellman, the
negro, charged with assu1ting 10
year-old Nancy Rankin. Spell
man was placed on trial today.
Much Indignation is felt over
the presence of troops, for uncles
of the girl themselves arrested the
negro and turned him over to the
officers. No violence was antici-
pated, however.
The negro entered a plea of not
guilty. Much time was consum-
ed in the selection ola jury.

b / yACKrEs HEROES.

HN&@&
Washington, Sept. 27.-When
the port gun in the forward turret
of the battleship Georgia explod-
ed during battle practice last
Thursday, the gun crew kept on
firing as though nothing had oc-
Cured. Minute details of the ac-
cident on this ship, which locked
at Norfolk today, are just reach
ing Washington and indicate that
it was~even more remarkable that
no one was. killed and injured than
was at first supposed.
The muzzle of the big 12-inch
rife blew off almost to the tur-
ret opening and fragments are said
to have dropped on the decks of
battleships more than 1000 yards
away.
That no one was hit by one of
these fragments probably was due
to the fact that Rear Admiral
Schroeder insisted upon strict N
forcement of the rule that every
man should be at his battle station
while firing was in progress. Thus
almost all were under cover when
the explosion occurred.
