NOT ENOUGH STARS
ron TWO BIO LEAGUES.

II isn't often that Hal Chase can be
started on a base ball talk. but when he
does loosen up he shows himself TO be a
diamond philosopher. Some one asked
him why IL was that so few ball players
stood out head and shoulders above the
rest. reference having been made TO
COBB. speaker. Collins. Natheweon, waS-
ner. bevlin. LaJoie. Brown, Johnson and
ENers- In the old days there was not
such marked difference in players.
That's easy enough" replied Chase.
There are about enough star bail play
ers TO 20 around in one league but there
are not enough for two leagues The
country doesn't produce enough OF them.
In the old days only eight clubs had to
be supplied. Now there are sixteen big

To The School Boards and Teachers
Of Monroe County.
Paris, Mo-, Oct. 20, 1911.

Below will be found letter from
the State Supt. of Schools, relative
to the attendance of the teachers of
Monroe County at the State Teach
ers Association, at Hannibal Nov.
8, 10, and II, 1911.
AS has been stated in the letter
and agreed upon at the Conference
of teachers held in Paris Aug. 24th
and 25th. There will be no Fall"
Association held in the County this
yaer in order to give every teacher
in the County an opportunity to at
tend this the greatest Educational
Gathering held so near them. |
shall also, as advised by the State
Supt., give each of them attending
a certificate of attendance, which
will enable them to receive from
their respective districts pay for the
two days (Oct. 9th and 10TH which
they are away from their schools.
You will readily see from the letter
below that | am authorized to do
this. therefore urge all teachers
in the County to take Membership
in the association at once, and at
tend if possible. School boards
should not only be willing to relieve
teachers for these two days, which
are given them by law, but should
insist that their teachers attend
this meeting and get the inspiration
and benefits of same.
The railroad fare will be one and
one-third fare for the round trip by
the certificate plan, and board and
lodging has been pledged to be as
low as can be secured at your home
towns. Let's make Monroe County
one of the Banner" Counties in
point of attendance at this great
meeting. Very Sincerely,
JNO. L. CARTER,
County Supt.

The Bowling Green Times editor
ically says: The world has many
ingrates, This causes the loss Of
confidence. Do a man a favor and
unless you keep it up, he will cen
sure you. In too many instances
during the time you are doing the
favors. the party benefited will, by
insinuation, stick the knife under
the ribs of the benefactor Anoth-
er thing: The man who works
for another should, be loyal to his
employer. His business should be
as carefully guarded as possible.
This brings confidence and enables
both to succeed. Occasionally you
will find men who have sucked
pap" from a political party, or, it
may be they are still pulling at the
teat, who are so ungrateful that
they never miss an opportunity to
condemn the source of their sus-
tenance. They are usually found
out and both parties feel like Civ
ing them a kick. 1t requires man.
hood to be a man."

What to Do With Turkey.

Plow it, and plant potatoes, corn
aud wheat 1t is the garden spot
of the earth. That stretch of acres,
lying under a brilliant sun, yet
where drought never blights, is fair
er than Italy. Northumberland, in
England, New Hampshire, in Amer
lea, never saw such a day as all
days are along the blue Aegean,
and. to the far mountains about
Jerusalem.
But three hundred years ago it
was said. Where the hoofs of Mo
hammed's horses strike, the grass
never grows" Now drive out Mo
hammedl Europe needs bread. Its
crowded poor come to America;
send them east. Open a school
house on every hilltop. Map the
country with trolleys, publish news
papers,
Let us, in that fair part of the
world. open the Hebrew and Chris
tian Bible in pluee of the Koran
Did you ever read the Koran? 1t
tells the whole story of the CEN
turtles of a curse over so noble Dor
ton of the globe. The Turk never
laughs. He never plays ball. His
pleasures are the harem. Moham-
med taught him thus. He revels
in cruelty and slaughter. 1t is
high time to send him to public
school.
Religion to be sure, cannot be
taught with the sword. We have
outgrown the notion Of crusade
for religions sake. But a group Of
Christian nations can at least peck
ct their heather iealousies and per-
NIT the rational use of the vast
areas of tiIlable land NOV bliehted
by Turkish nonrule. They can do
this by ceasing to support" the
farce Of Turkish rule. Quincy
