MASON COUNTY NOTES

The Mason County Teachers Insti-
tute is in session this week in charge
Of County Superintendent Miss Ada F.
Myers. A superior corps of instruct
ols are training the pedagogues in up
to-date methods of teaching the
young idea" The institute is credit
to the excellent work of the county
superintendent, and an hour spent
among the teachers present gives
full assurance that the schools of the
county are well manned for the cur
rent year. The school ma'ams are
always welcome to our burg and here's
wishing they would come oftener
Among the most prominent of the
teachers present at the institute is Mr..
r. A. Lathrop of DewattO. Mr.. La
throp is the candidate of the DEM
ocratic party for county attorney. He
left a successful practice in the East
and came West looking for new loca-
ton. In the midst of the quest last
year he was taken ill and confined
several months in the hospital after
undergoing a critical surgical opera
ton. While recuperating he was
engaged to teach the Dewatto school
and after canvassing the situation de-
cided to make the run for county at
torney. His splendid vote in the pri-
maries bespeaks well of his success
in November. He stands high among
the teachers of the county and most of
them are supporting his candidacy.
His address before the institute Tues
day morning was clear, concise and
inspiring and won him many friends.
Wilson buttons are in great demand
among the teachers, and especially
noticeable are the large number of
women voters who are aligning them
selves with the Democratic party.
The County Fair held the first three
days of the week was success both
financially and in the number and
class of exhibits. The new buildings
add greatly to the convenience of both
exhibitors and visitors.
Governor NJ. E. Hay and wife spent
Tuesday afternoon at the fair grounds
and the governor responded to an invi
tation to participate in the program
with an informal speech.

LIKE SLEEPING TORCHES.

Little Rock, May 25.-The growth in the desire of Little Rock people to sleep in the open air has been shown by the number of permits issued by the department of public works for the construction of sleeping porches. Within the last month nearly ten such permits have been issued. As a per- init is only required when the. cost of construction exceeds $50 and as the greater number of sleeping porches are converted at less cost than this amount conservative estimates place the number of such outdoor rooms at nearly 100. Constructors figure that approximately this number have been built within the last few months in anticipation of the hot weather

the President is expected to pay a personal visit to the German fleet. This visit will probably be made on the evening of June 8, the President journeying to Hampton Roads aboard the Mayflower, lunching aboard the flagship ,Moltke and returning to Washington early the next morning.
 Besides these official arrange mens for the entertainment of the German fleat, the municipalities of Washington and New York are mak- ing extensive preparations for the re- ception of the visitors, in all of which Communications will take a prom lnent part. In fact, the visit of the German fleet has aroused an inter- est second Cnly to the excitement occasioned by the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, some years ago.
 In Washington, the municipal eel ebration will be somewhat over-
 
 reception. Germans of the capital however, have arranged to tender 6 banquet to the visiting officers and seamem and flags and bunting will decorate the streets during their stay.
 On the other hand the reception in New York, according to reports re- ceived by the Navy Department to- day. will equal if not exceed the Df- ficial entertainment of the Govern ment The German fleet, conveyed by an escort of honor, is due in New York Harbor on June 9, sailing for home on June 13.
 In order to greet the visitors With a purely representative and German American committee, the Mayor of New York has called upon the heads of the great German societies to act and has composed a reception list that embodies the names of Herman Ridder, J. P. Morgan, IT,, The Hon. Seth Low, Brig. Gen. Tasker Ii. Bliss, U. s. A., Rear Admiral E. H.. c. Leutz, U. s. N., Ogden Mills Reid, and number of the most 1nflue1- tial Germans in the city.
 This will be the first time that the city of New York has extended welcome to a visiting fleet and the plans, so far as made, insure the German visitors round of fetes and feasting, both at the hands or the municipality and the many Ger man soc 'eties, that will live long ill

Washington, May 25-The warm. welcome accorded a division of the United States Atlantic fleet on it's visit to Germany last year will b. equaled, and if possible outdone, by the demonstration that will greet Rear Admiral Reuben -Paschwitz. in command of the German flagship Moltke, and the crusiers Stettin ana, Bremen, when he and his ships visit this country this week. From the time they arrive off Cape Henry, on May 30, to the date of their depar- ture from New York on June 13, the German officers and men will be the guests of the Navy Department, and will be the objects of programme of entertainment that will include everything from a visit to the presi- dent of the United States to recep- tions by the cities on their itinerary, and private dinner parties.
 For weeks the navy officials have been busy planning the entertain ment of the foreigners, even arrange ing to meet the German admiral and his fleet off Cape Henry with two of the newest ships of the United States Navy-the Utah and the Florida. These boats will salute the visitors and escort them to Hampton Roads where they are expected to arrive on June 3. Here their anchorage will be made to the accompaniment of roar of welcome from the sail- ors of the entire Atlantic fleet, which will be assembled especially for the occasion.
 June the 4th will be given over to visits between the American and German officers and men, and the performance of naval manoeuvres for the benefit of the visitors.
 Beginning June 5th' the German Admiral and his officers will be the guests of the Navy Department and President Taft. They will be enter tained by the President in the eve ming and on June 6 they will visit the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, lunching there and dim ing with the Secretary of the Navy.
 On June z, they will visit Wash ington's home at Mt. Vernon, lunch ing on board the Mayflower, the Presidents yacht, and returning to Hampton Roads by boat in the eve- ming.

 OF ELkS OF THE STATE.
Roseball Game Between Members of Home Lodge and the Little Rock
 Lodge Will Attract Interest.

Hot Springs, May 24.-When the
 Flks convention is opened in this city
 next Tuesday there will begin a pro-
 cram of festivities seldom equalled at any of the state gatherings these Best People on Earth" have had in their Arkansas annual outings.
 The committee from the local lodge has prepared splendid list of en- tertainment, and some of the visiting lodges will bring along their own hands, and help in the general enter tainment scheme.
 Committees have been named for the visitors, the usual visitations io points of interest being included, dance in honor of the guests, and a ride about the country here, which at this season of the year is unsur passed in natural beauties.
 One of the features of the pro- gram is a ball game at Wilmington park scheduled between the Elks of the Hot Springs lodge and the ElNs of the Little Rock lodge. The local Elks made up their lineup and start ed out to practicing with every ounce of enthusiasm that goes to make for some classic tertainment, but pro- bably they were too enthusiastic in their early work, for most of the play CTS are now on the hospital list.
 The anticipated lineup of the locals is: Oscar Collins, captain; Doc Owens 1b; Charles Davis, 2b; Henry Lotz, ss; Dick Lawrence, If; Harry Leh- man, If; w. o. Crieson, of; Oscar Col lins, 3b Gilbert ,Hogaboom, pr. E. c. Thompson and Frank Moody, pitch CTS and Joe Kempner and Dr. Dick Ellis, catchers.
 The attendance promised at this state convention is large, in fact from the letters received there will be larger attendance than has been at the former gatherings. The member ship in the state is increasing fast and there is more enthusiasm all the while in the ranks of the members.
