While local conditions may mot be
the same, yet do not think there is
any logical reason for as much vari-
alton in the time for beginning the
schools as exists in the county now.
The following should be taken into
consideration before beginning the
school.
(D VIII the farmers be through
with their busy work so that all Of
the boys can start at the beginning !?
(2) VIII the weather be suitable for
the children to be in school? (3) The
date of the two days Teachers
Meeting of which it Is the duty Of
every teacher to attend (4) Are the
school house and surroundings in
suitable condition for the school to
begin?
"The Teachers Meeting will be
held on Friday and Saturday Aug.
19 and 20. The purpose of this meet
ing is to plan the work and Instruct
the teachers for the next term OF
school. The best teachers will give
their methods of instruction. New
plans will be introduced and dis
cussed. While it is called a
Teachers Meeting, it is for the ben
eft of the schools.
LASTLY, do not begin your school
until you have inspected the school
house and its surroundings. The
School Board as a unit should go to
see the conditions. The following
at least, should be carefully noted
IG) Is the house warm and com
Portable, and are the walls, the win
dows and the floor clean? (2) Do the
windows have shades to regulate the
light and also keep out the sun
hight? Shades are cheaper thar
eyes. (3) Are there enough smal
seats for the little children SO thai
their feet will touch the floor and
not swing to and fro all day
| long, dilu utotAo lOl thSh ~ "iANS -
without having to reach up? Is the
blackboard in good condition? (5) Il
the stove in the center of thu
room with no jacket so that part o
the children suffer with heat, whil'
others suffer with cold, if so. wher'
do you want your children to sit
Move the stove nearer the door an'
put a good sheet iron jacket aroun'
it. CO. Is the water pure and health
full or has 1t bad odor and con
tain germs of disease. Don't TAX
any chances on the water. A fe'
cents worth of permanganate of pc
! tassium will destroy the organic mai
; Ter in a chstern. It is cheap, el
: fective and harmless. (7) Have tn
weeds and tall grass been cleaale
t off of the yard? (S) Are the our
houses in clean, sanitary condttio
or are they specimen of physica
filth and source of moral poison
90 Is there a library Of well-seleci
, ed books for the use of teacher an
pupils?

cry House Are Considering Mexico
as Possible Sites for Their Enter
prises.

/ Recently the Mexico Business
Mems Association was thoroughly or.
ganlzed with the viewof furthering
the best interests of the city. Every
officer has the progress of the eity
at heart and will do everything he
can to procure enterprises of various
kinds for the city.
Lately a committee was appointed
by the Association to confer with
the manufacturers here with the view
Of assisting them in procuring the
necessary labor to carry on their
several enterprises.
Hardly a week passes by but an CD.
portunity presents itself to locate
some sort of new business here. As
may. be noted from the press, at least
two shoe manufacturers are now en-.
gagged in viewing the city for the
purpose Of locating here.
We recognize that 1t is with great
difficulty that any amount of do
nations could now be subscribed by
the citizens. The main object the
Business Mems Association can now
have in view is to point to the en-
terprises already located here, and in
duce people to locate here with the
view Of better employment. When
ever we can increase the commercial
and the manufacturing interests of
the town we will then attract more
than in any other way immigrants
into the town and naturally then en-
terprises looking for locations will be
attracted by the prospects Of procur.
ing labor In other words, the more
manufactures we have the more labo
there will be to perform and that Of
Itself will necessarily attract per-
sons with families looking out for
homes.
The Association Is now in cores.
pondence with shoe factory deslr-
Ing to move West. and Is also in
correspondence with The Ware Prog
ress Company which desires to locate
wholesale grocery here In Mexico.
In the event tho latter Company
should make Its location here, it will
want local manager and local as
sistants. This wills not he branch
house Of the main Company, but will
be an independent wholesale grocery
located within our midst, and will be
managed by local men. although the
main part of the capital will come
from the original Company located in
Dayton, Ohio.
The membership of this Associa-
ton is about sixty, and should be
one hundred, at least What Asso.
Citations of this kind have done for
the csitbes of Hannibal, Columbia and
MoberIy can be done here by united
action on our part.
We will, from time to time, as oe-
casion may require, call attention to
the people here of the opportunities
presented to procure the location oil
enterprises. Every enterprise Will
bring with it capital, inhabitants and
will furnish more employment and
more business for those that are
here.

three men. The Sheriff refused to
reveal the destination of his prison
