Imagination, That's All

For seven, long tiresome
innings the Ely fans had to sit and
see their reinforced team go back
to the gardens without a score. and
Oh! say, weren't they sore. The
picture on their faces would have
made a good illustration to repre-
sent pious printers on the Sabbath
day. Wow! their fans wanted to
lick our little noisy bunch of fans
because they smiled on Sunday,
and the big first baseman went SO
far as to offer to fight a Two Har-
bors boy who was over 8 feet tall.
But alasi

arm gave out in the eighth and
such a change! They smiled, they
laughed and they yelled. They
went to one of the mines and
brought all the noise that had &C.
cumulated from blasting for ten
years and turned it loose on that
little ball ground. Twenty pock-
cts of hard Tower ore running into
the bottom of an empty steel boat
would have been compared with it.

What do the Commercial
Shops Have, That the
High School Shops
Need?

The following is a copy OF the
interesting paper given at the
manual arts round table, Univers-
ity of Wisconsin. July 18th, 1912,
by H. A. Shepherd of the Ely
schools:
Why do we want to borrow any
thing from the commercial world
for Our school system? Why do
we have shop instruction in our
schools at all? History tells us
that centuries ago these principles
were tried in education and found
unsatisfactory, and many people
today seem to think that the in
dustrial instruction in u public
education is a fad that will soon
die out. Those who think this
way have failed to take into their
consideration that our mode of
living in the past and present age,
has been one of rapid change and
is even now changing. That by
far the largest per cent of the peo-
pie of the world today, gain their
living by mechanical and agricul-
tural callings, it is self evident why
these subjects need to be taught in
modern education. This is a high
pressure mechanical age in which
we are living, the man of thirty
can remember the advent of the
electric car and electric light, tele-
phones, wireless, safety bicycles,
automobiles, areoplanes, and many
other inventions and discoveries
that forcibly present to mind the
stupendous changes that have taken
place in this short period of time,
and which correspondingly effects
our ways of living. Since we have
introduced these subjects into pub
lie education, how can we best
teach them? What have the com
mercial systems of the worlds

The answer comes easily-Men and
women who know their business,
like their business and stick tc
their business. Comparing the
schools to commercial shops, the
high school may be likened to the
job shop, where many kinds Of
work needs to be done, and calls
for workmen who can do many
things reasonably well. The specia.
school corresponds to the special
shop, where a particular line of
work is done exceptionally well
where the special workman and
the special teacher are needed.
The Universities and colleges are
like the well organized manufac.
turing plant, where people know
their particular line of work vel
in each department, where the pro.
duct is the best that modern
methods can produce. One more
important comparison, the repair

BALD HEADS
NOT WANTED
Badness is too Generally Considered
sign Of Advanced Age.

A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpor-
ations have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 35 years
OF age as new employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald-headed
people may regain good head OF
healthy hair if they will follow our au-
vice and accept our offer. We have a
remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
their follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim
it will, and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge for
the remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back OF
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word, or hesitate to put
our remedy to an actual test.
| We want every one in Keokuk who
lis suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or bald
ness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic.
We want them to use it regularly
say until three bottles have been used
and if it does not eradicate dandruff
tcleanse and refresh the scalp, tighten
the hair in its roots, and grow new
hair, we will return every cent paid
us for the remedy for the mere ask
! ing. There is no Formally expected
and we exact no obligation from the
user whatever.

full understanding that our business
success entirely depends upon the SORT
