W. l.. Matsell, who left last
week to work on the Wabash, was
seriously burned about the face
and hands Sunday morning by an
explosion of gasoline in his car.
It was necessary to take Mr.. Mat
sell to the hospital at Moberly. He
has been very unfortunate in re-
gard to accidents, having been so
seriously injured in the Blackbird
disaster that he was unable to work
for more than a year, and had only
worked a few days on the Wabash.
We have no details of the accident,
but it is thought that he attempted
to start a fire with gasoline, sup
posing it to be coal oil.

The Spelling Contest

Brookfield very nearly made q
clean sweep at the spelling contest
held in the Laclede school building
last Saturday afternoon. Jack
Rummell, son of L. w. Rummell
of Brookfeld, won the prize in the
main contest and will represent the
county in the state contest. Miss
Ruth Benson of the Warner dis
trict north of Bucklin won the
girls prize, a spring jacket.
The other prize winners were all
from Brookfield and are as follows:
Seventh grade, Elsie White, Frank
Lane; sixth, Virginia Snow, Austin
Rittenour; fifth, Naomi Bradshaw,
Howard Rusk; fourth, Helen
Stuflebean, Sam Snow; third,
Bernice Marsh, James Stuetz;
second, Ethel Peters, Harry Rum
NELL, Clarence Hurst.
AS the roads were almost i'm
passable, hardly any of the rural
districts were represented, but
Brookfeld sent a delegation of
nearly two hundred, including
nearly all the teachers.
There was much dissatisfaction
over the way in which the contest
was conducted. Little attention
was paid to the rules that had been
announced and even the lists of
words in at least one of the lower
grades were taken from books
other than the adopted book that
had been selected. There was also
some confusion about the number
of contestants in some of the grades.
There was a disposition on the part
of some teachers to ignore the
rights of others in the same grades.
In the main contest certain teachers
insisted on skipping" some lists
of words in the speller and that
only the part on which they had
drilled their pupils should be used
and they had their way.
Such contests could and should
be conducted in a way to eliminate
complaints of this kind, and the
way to do it is to make definite
rules in advance-and stick to
them in the contest.

Notice

We desire to state for the benefit
of our consumers that there are
being manufactured two classes of
electric lamps, namely, class "A"
and class ''B." The class "A"
lamp is of the highest grade that
can be obtained and should be used
by all who want the best service.
1t gives longer life, uses less cur
rent and gives better light than
the class "B."
We are calling this attention to
our consumers so you can help US
maintain good service, which will
be impossible to do with the low
grade lamps.
In order to make it more con-
venient we have placed a stock of
class "a" lamps in charge of Mr..
Caywood, at the postoffice, which
will be sold for the following cash
prices only.
