Three district boards Arden, Hedges
vile and Mill Creek, nave cheerfully
given their consent for their respect
i've teachers to avail themselves of
this splendid opportunity of attending
one of our leading educational meet
ings.
Up to this date am unable to state
what action will be taken by the 9TH
er districts, with respect to this mat
ter as | am informed that they have
not held their meetings with a view
to this matter. | feel that the incom-
ing reports will contain the most con-
siderate and liberal action that can
be taken for their teachers, and that
We shall have solid round up" OF
all the districts for this special call;
for the purpose of securing better re-
suits in the work of our rural schools
The following regulations govern
the action taken with respect to this

been given permission by their respec-
tive boards to attend the Potomac

teachers to enter wider field of as
ISOLATION and broader views, where
they may gather new ideas and de-
vices that will enable them to ably

various schools in which they work.
The profession is beginning to real
ize that teachers who associate with
the most learned and the most ener-
getic OF their calling are better pre-
pared for the arduous duties of the
school room. The teacher whose Wis
ion extends beyond the narrow limits
of country or state is better prepared
to extend the horizon of the pupils in
a more entertaining and interesting
manner. Get reacy and go to Harr
pers Ferry, November 18th.

LESSON IS TAUGHT
IN TARIFF SAVING
Democratic County Committee Sells
Political Display at Auction
In Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. THE firse les
son in saving that will result to the
people in the United States by the re-
duction of the tariff on household
goods, wearing apparel and food stuffs
was given yesterday in the Smithfield
street headquarters of the Allegheny
county Democratic committee when
the display of high tariff articles was
sold at public auction. In ea< sale
it was announced that the proper cost
of the article was the price considered
as it's yalue-that the additional cost
made by the tariff charge should not
be considered the articles were
sold on that basis.
Included in the display were chairs,
tables, stove, set of dishes, meat grind
ers, wash boards, and In fact every
thing that is necessary to the proper
equipment of home. and in addition
clothing for men, women and children,
lace curtains and other articles for the
home.
The prices paid for the various ar
ticles were small. They could not be
otherwise with the addition of the tar
iff cost removed, and this indicated 10
many what they may expect when
such articles on the general market
are offered for sale at similar prices.
This will come, it is promised, when
Woodrow Wilson has had few
months in which to gather into his
hands the reins of government in
trusted to him Tuesday by the people
of the United States.

rabbit furnishes more and choicer
meat for the money than any other
animal on the market -.
There are peculiarities Of taste
among the rabbit fanciers, according
to the dealers. Cottontails sell more
readily on the Wichita market than
do the jack rabbits. There is more
meat in a jack rabbit, but it is coars-
er in quality than the flesh of the
cottontail and most Wichita house
wives seem to prefer taking the
smaller animal at the same price.
A great many Kansas rabbits are
shipped to the eastern cities. rhe de-
mand in the east is for jack rabbits.
Dealers say that this is due to the
fact that eastern consumers have not
had their tastes educated to that
point where they can appreciate the
superior quality of the little bunnies.
Some farmers in this vicinity have
been taking advantage of the bad
weather and the consequent lull in
farm work and have gotten out their
dogs and guns. AS a result, many
shipments of rabbits are being re-
ceived from the small towns sur
rounding Wichita
