At the meeting OF County Supcrin-
tendents at Jefferson City, Wray Wit
ten, the able superintendent OF Nor
gan County. read a paper on "How
to secure the Co-opcratlon Of the

ing from the Jefferson City Capital
News:
Supt. Wray Witten of Morgan coun-
ty has secured the CO-operatlon OF the
newspapers of his county IN pro-
noting the school work. Whenever
he desires to promulgate principle
or reach a large number OF people
with valuable information he finds a
ready means OF communication
through the columns of the news
papers OF his county. Supt. Nltten

Supt. Wittcn has learned, if he
didn't know before. that the co-oper-

lowing we clip from the Democrat

1t is a well known fact that it takes
a long time for a single individual to
bring any number of people to

Witten of Morgan and Rcavis oi Holt.
have secured the co-opcratlon of the
county press and are thus able to
reach practically all the people of
their respective counties as often as
they see fit. In a short talk MIR. Wit
ten answered the question. How Sc
cure the corporation OF the county
press and how use it. He urged up
on his hearers the necessity Tor doing
something worth while something
that would prove to the people

stitious.
We have passed through tails OF
comets before. and many living today
passed on July 3.1s61. through the
tail OF the great comet of that year.
and We're never aware of IT until told
so few weeks afterwards. We shall
probably pass through the tails OF
many others, with less notable re
suit than that caused by an aurora
borealis.
The spectrocopic observations late

vatory at Meudon. close to Paris.
are conclusive as to the fact both ii

gases.
But what OF that

This is a principle of physics, or

Very easily. A comets tail is al

Wonderful SURGICAL Feat.

Wonderful things are accomplished
in the surgical world these days. Six
year-old Arthur SHIRLEY was shot by "A
maniac in New York recently, and was
likely to die through loss OF blood.
The doctors suggested TRANSMISSION OF
blood from a strong and healthy per
sons body into that of the dying boy.
The lads foster mother gladly offered
herself for the strange sacrifice.
Mrs. SHIRLEY, scoTnlng anaesthetics.
bore the pain without flinchlng as the
surgeons opend a vein in her arm. In
a moment the blood from her healthy
system was flowing into the enfeebled
body OF her adopted son. The change
in the boys appearance during the
20 minutes the TRANSMISSION contin-
ued was wonderful. A healthy glow
came to his skin and his pale lips be-
came ruddy. When the tube was re-
moved the surgeons announced that
the operation had been a success.
Mrs. SHIRLEY was so weak from the
loss OF blood that she could scarcely
speak, but she smiled cheerfully as
she was told the boy was much bene-
flied by her sacrifice.

Aye! There's the Rub.

The amateur sociologist was airing
his views to an admiring and high.
proved audience. A professional poll
tician. cleverly disguised as an East
side settlement worker. had managed
to pass the sacred portals. and was OBJ
securely ensconced in a dark corner.
Graft is the curse OF the American
government" exclaimed the amateur
sociologist. The rich man can buy
his way to political power, not that
he wishes to serve the people, but
simply to increase his wealth"
Hear Hear" cried the high
proved audience. after the manner OF
the English.
HUH" came a grunt from the cor.
ner.
I'VE don't want the rich man in
politics" continued the speaker.
What this country needs in Office is
the poor man"
How are you going to keep him
poor?" came a strident voice from the
corner.
And the amateur sociologist was
forced to admit that he hadn't thought
OF that.
