gate elected stood: Roosevelt 237
SO; Taft, 15J 1-6. Necessary to
control the convention, DID.
This means that Pierce county
will send a solid Roosevelt delega-
ton to Aberdeen and swing the
state into the Roosevelt column.
II will probably mean the defeat
of s. A. Perkins as national COM
mitteeman also.
A lot of the old timers will be
missing from the state convention.

stating that one quart of creamery
milk. costing bottled cents, is equal
in food fuel value to any one Of the
following:
Three pounds fresh coffee, 81 cents
Three quarters of a pound of round
steak, % cents.
Three pounds salt cod, 40 cents.
Eight eggs, 40 cents.
Two pounds chicken, &c cents.
One and one half pounds ham, As

One quart oysters. 80 cents.
Four pounds cabbage, 10 cents.
Four pounds beets, 10 cents.
Seven pounds spinach, SO cents.
According to the milk committee a
lunch of bread and milk weighing 16

saving his army by stemming the re-
treat Of the centre.
"Abdulah Pasha may have been ac-
tuated by the best interests, but his
action was the worst possible step, and
1T brought disaster. The climax
came at o'clock on Thursday morn
ing. When the Turkish left wing
learned Of the disappearance Of its
commander it needed but a panic
stricken soldier to fire his rifle and
shout, Bulgarians are coming!' to
complete the confusion.
"Choas reigned. The general cry
Of 'Sauve qui peut!' followed. In the
darkness of the wintry morning the
whole army broke away and made a
concerted bolt for the road leading to
the rear. Horses, stores and arms
were abandoned. Officers mixed pell-
nell with the men and carried away
the rear guard in their rush.
"Wednesday settled the fate Of Alb
dullah's army. His force could no
longer fight. It had neither ammu-
milton for guns nor food to sustain
the soldiers. Their pitiable plight
brought to light every moment the
hideous defects Of the Turkish army
organization.
History repeated itself in the Thra-
clan plain. Abdullah's army, like that
Of Napoleon III, was declared to be
ready down to the last button Of the
last gaiter, whereas it was hopelessly
deficient in everything requisite for
the equipment Of a modern army go
ing into battle.
"Moukhtar Pasha once said to me
that the German training Of the Turk
ish army would result in its death.
1t, however, would be unfair to throw
the blame Of the appalling disaster on
German methods. Military inefflci-
ency played a great part in the ca
tastrophe and there was an insuffict-
ency of trained officers. I saw COM
panies of Turkish regiments going in
to action with only two officers, and
in the last days fighting we came
across reserves ignorant Of the manip-
ulation or mechanism Of Mauser
rifle"

One Thousand Extra Teachers
Apply for Schools.
First Surplus in History of the
State.
FAIRCHILD'S idea
He Believes Institute and Nor
mails Created Them.
To Improve Grade of Schools
of the State.

One thousand more teachers than
can be accomm odated have applied for
positions in the country schools of
Kansas.
This is an absolutely new situation
as Iar as my experience is concerned"
said E. T. Fairchild, state superin-
tehdent OF public instruction, for the
SIX years L have been in Office, the
particularly in the western counties;
this year there is shortage of 40
practically none at ALL
Out of the los counties in Kansas
80 nave reported. and the alarming
surplus is the result of the report. A
letter of inquiry has been sent out
to each county superintendent, so that
the figures are tolerabIy exact.
What is the cause of this awful
condition ?'' asked the facetious re-
porter. rs it due to a surpIusage of
old maids?''
Not at ALL laughed Mr.. FairchiId,
there are at least two important rea-
sons To tell you the truth, 1 have
just been thinking of the significance
OF this story The shortage, as 1 stat
ed, has been particularly noticeable in
western counties. The hard times of
last year, and i, some portions of the
state, of this year, have led many
young women to attend Institutes, APP
ply for certificates, and get into school
work. The second reason is a direct
result of the normal training being re
than 1900 scholars registered for this
course last winter; that means that
their fourth year of school work was
devoted to reviews, and the problems
of how to teach; they are Obliged TO
take an examination offered by the
school board. Do most of them pass?
Yes, indeed; 90 per cent of them were
successful. This is the third year OF
the course, you know"
Means Better Schools.
This advent of young, wide-awake,
and attractive teachers into the field
of school work will mean much TO
the youngsters of Kansas. In 1910.
4,4OO out of every 5000 of the coun-
trv teachers had no training beyond
the eighth grade.
That condition can never be repeat
ed superintendent Fairchild declar-
ed. Under the law to take effect in
1917 no one is eligible for examina-
tions who has not been graduated from
a high school. The law is going into
effect gradually; first one year is re-
quired, then two, and then three"
Mr.. Fairchild glanced over his re-
ports.
''All this tends to show" he con-
cluded, that we have reached the
stage where a considerable shortage is
likely to be a thing of the past, and
that we will have a constantly increas-
ing number of applicants excellently
fitted to teach in the grade schools.

WATER COLD; WOULD-BE
SUICIDE CHANGES MIND

Chicago, Ill.-Tired of the life of
a denizen of the lodging house dis
trict and despondent because of his
inability to obtain work. Stanley
Lies, 3S years old, attempted to end
his life by jumping into the river
from the Adams street bridge. He
changed his mind, he said, on being
dragged from the water because the
water proved too cold. He was ta-
ken to the county hospital.
Landing in the icy water Lies be-
gan to swim. He tried to reach the
piling at the side of the river but the
current carried him to Van Buren,
street bridge There II. Wilkes, 3510
Lincoln avenue, threw him rope.
Grabbing hold of this he was pulled
to one side of the river and then Po-
licemen Bum Harren and Knap,
who were attracted by the commotion
pulled him up out of the water.
At the county hospital Lies said
that he had been out of work for sew
eral months and that he was despond-
ent over this.
