every part Of this country, and the
people are gradually realizing that it
takes business men to introduce and
maintain these business methods in
state and national affairs. . +.
The sixth congressional district Of
Iowa has in the past few years become
the home of important and far reach

enterprises to the satisfaction of the
patriotism OF the district which is ma

It is undoubtedly the sentiment that
President Taft should be renominated
because of his efforts to improve the
public service, and for his determine
ton to Serve all the people irrespec-

Thus believing and feeling that the
people of this district are ready to join
in the movement for progress along
republican lines, as ANNOUNCED in the

READING CIRCLE
MADE SELECTION
THREE BOOKS SELECTED FOR
TEACHERS OF STATE TO
STUDY THIS YEAR. x

Tho state reading circle board that
is comprised Of school officers through
out the state working under the darec'
ton of the state board Of education,
has selected three books for study
and perusal by Iowa teachers this
year. Mrs. Elizabeth Burgess, county
superintendent of schools and mem
Der of the reading circle board, has
returned from the meeting held IN
Des Moines few days ago at which
time the books were selected. They
comprise the following:
REGULATIONS" by Hamilton; "Prac-
tical Nature Study" by Coulter, and
brief Course in Teaching Processes"
by Strayer.
The books are styled by Mrs. Bur-
CESS to be OF high class and she
also stated that this year the regular
custom had been changed and instead
Of two books being picked out for
study. there were three books select
ed. This was done because Of the de-
sire of the board to further the cause
Of agricultural studies III the schools
of Iowa. Last year there was an agri-
cultural work, and although it is not
customary to repeat the class OF
works selected each year, the agri-
cultural work was decided on as an
incentive to more thorough study OF
that subject
The law requires that the teachers
read the books selected by the reading
circle each year, and while there has
been three selected this year the teach
ers have the option OF which two out Of
the three books they sha4 read.
The law does not compel the teacher
to purchase the books, but 1t insists
upon study Of them in order to Keep
in force their certificate. There are
always one or more of the questions
in didactics taken from the reading
circle books and the study of the
books aid the teachers in the examin-
alton for certificates.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Maxwell, Feb. 10.-The explosion OF
q lamp was the cause of last nights
tragedy, in which three children In the
household Of Isaac Smith, a farmer nv
ing near here, were burned to death,

the 4-year-old son of Mrs. Hickman.
Mr.. Smith, who is a widower, was IN
the living room Of the house with his
daughter and son-in-law, when the ex-
plosion occurred The house was al
most instantly enveloped in flames.
George Coughenor, a neighbor, was
the first to arrive. Hearing the
screams of the children he fought his
way through the flames and falling
timbers and succeeded In rescuing the
infant child of Mrs. Hickman. Neigh
hors hurried to the fire and at the
risk of their lives, several entered the
burning structure in an effort to save
the children. Led on by the screams,
a few of the most daring went FAR into
the house, but were unable to locate
the children The little ones persisted
within few feet of those seeking to
gave their lives. The frantic parents
made several attempts to re-enter the
house. Mr.. Smith finally succeeded IN
doing 80, and when dragged from the
flames by friends his clothing was
afire. Before the flames could be ex-
tinguished he had been fatally burned
The local authorities, were notified
of the tragedy and hurried to the
ground. They were able to do little In
the way OF investigation before day
light.
