there is a general revival in trade in all

chargeable to the terrific heat during
the month of June.
Argus-Leader: 1t is just as we'll to
have it stated now as any time that it
! was not the lack of rain which put the
small grain crop of southeastern South
Dakota to the bad. It was the exces-
slve and unreasonable heat which pre-
vailed during June. Had the tempera-
ture during that month been normal,
the small grain crop would have been
abundant as the rainfall while not
heavy was sufficient under normal con-
ditions- Meanwhile, it is pleasing to
note that under the influence of the
copious and frequent July rains, the
pastures are turning green and provid-
ing good forage for livestock, while
millet sowed on late blowing is making
good crop.

TEACHER AND HIS WORK

Sioux Falls Press: DR.. j. w. Hes
ton Of the Madison normal school de-
livered splendid lecture before the
students of the summer school at the
Lutheran Normal school. He spoke on
the subject, 1.-The Teacher and His
Work. 7" Some of the main points of
his address were as follows:
The selfish, lazy or proud person will
not be successful teacher although he
may possess the necessary scholarship.
To be successful teacher he must
be sympathetic, humble and full of love
for the children.
Teaching is profession as well as
theology, law or medicine as far as the
demands made upon teacher are con-
cerned but not profession in respect
to the privileges granted teacher.
DR.. Heston believes in the dual mind
the subjective and the objective. All
purely intellectual work is governed by
the chject:,,c mind white the feeling
and emotions are governed by the sub
jjective mind. lie showed that the
teacher should rot give all his attention
to the child's intellectual side but should
also develop the child's emotions.
But the teacher should not only as
sist the child in acquiring knowledge
but should helpit to form proper habits
of life and give it the habit of work.
At the close he made strong plea
for giving the child noble ideals. The
great ideal wi" will last when this world
with it's brick aud mortar, iron and
stone, end the very mountains shall
have passed away.
The address was delivered i; i: clear
and forceful manner and was listened
to attentively throughout.

ALL COONS
LOOK ALIKE

The way the Grand Rapids ball
team got after the big Chicago smoke
and took three straight games from
them might lead any one to expect
some assistance in that problem
that is vexing the white sporting fra
ternity of the United States. Grand
Rapids seems to have a highly de-
veloped ability to Iambast the colored
people-why can't this city produce
a White Mans Hope" in connection
with that prominent colored citizen
OF Chicago, Jack Johnson? Take it
from us, Jack Johnson better keep
clear of Grand Rapids, Wisconsin.
Judging from the way we have treat
ed other colored sports who have
visited us in the not long ago All
coons look alike to Grand Rapids.

PARROT SHOT FOR HAWK

The pet parrot belonging to Mr..
Roberts, of Monroe Center, escaped
Thursday. The parrot started north
along the river bottoms and later
in the day Charles Mills who lives
about four miles south of Nekoosa
saw what he supposed was chicken
hawk in the woods and getting his
shot gun, fired at it. The bird was
injured in the wing and Mr. Mills
captured it, Of course it was the
parrot. The distance the parrot wan
dered away from home is sixteen
miles, Mr.. Mills has sold his farm
near Nekoosa and gone to Neshkoro
to live taking the bird with him. Mr..
Roberts is looking for the bird and
will undoubtedly have it returned to
him as soon as Mr.. Mills knows that
he is the rightful owner of it.
