The teachers and those interested
in the cause of education in Law

ON the excellent showing made by
Lawrence county at the Ninth Dist.
Educational Association held in Ash
land last Friday and Saturday. Law
renee county had the banner dele
cation and carried off the premiums
offered for the best delegation. The
progressive teachers of this county
have begun to realize the Importance
of organization, and the children in
the various districts are being i'm
mensely benefited as a result OF
Teamwork" on the part of the
teachers. The sooner ALL the
teachers of the county arrive at this
conclusion the more efficient will
their work become. "'No teacher
knows sa much as herself and an
other teacher" and the teacher who
attends these meetings gives and
receives help from all the other
teachers present.

ARKANsAw AND THE ozARKs.

Mammoth Spring, Ark Nov 20,
To my many Kentucky friends;
When / left old Kentucky nearly
three years ago | promised to write
back to my friends and give de-
scription of the country wheresoever
landed to stay. Since then 1 have
rambled from Kentucky to the Pa.
cific coast in the State of Wash
ington,a and down the coast TO South
ern California, and across the bor-
der into old Mexico, thence east
ward through Arizona, New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, ana
today finds me contented and
happy man in the Ozark hills in
northeastern Arkansas.
The climate is mild and at this
time of the year simply delightful
Today, the goth OF November, Is
warm and pleasant. The past three
weeks have been frosty nights and
warm, smoky days. The winters
are mild and the summers are about
as hot as the summers in eastern
Kentucky The air Is pure and in
MIGRATING. The water is good; the
springs that gush out among these
hills are clear as crystal-cold and
pure as any water on earth. Mann
moth Spring, whose waters gush out
of the earth at the rate of 100000
gallons per minute, is the largest
in the world, and has hydraulic
pressure so great that an ordinary
blacksmith's anvil will not sink be-
yond a depth of 80 feet. The writer
lives in one mile of the hole"
where she "guggles" up.
The soil which is red clay
limestone soil, is very productive.
The land is easily cleared, the
greater part of the labor being re-
quired to remove the limestone that
in some places lays very thickly
scatteredoverthe surface, and 1t is
a singular fact that when the sur
face stones are removed the soil is
practically clear of them. In the
strongest place one can remove a
few stones and drive fence post
three feet deep in the red clay.
All kind OF crops do well here.
and as to fruit--will say that I've
been here two summers and have
had apples. peaches and pears in

In making my last visit to the
schools, I've seen so much improve
ment, / feel l ought to tell it all
and know / can not have time or
space to do so. With but very few
exceptions the houses have blinds.
and many of them curtains, several
have been papered and few paint
ed inside. can not mention the
names as there are so many, but
will tell them in my final report.
We have had Teachers Meet
ings in two Ed. Divisions, and Z
and they were right well attended
by the teachers and few trustees
met with us at both places. AT
these we considered ourselves one
big family and told our troubles and
exchanged ideas as how best to over
come them and also told the good
things we were doing. told them
few things that might be helpful.
among them were the testing Of
seed corn and putting jackets
around stoves so as to heat the
room evenly. Several of them are
doing both, now.
Am very much pleased with the
spirit of the teachers in regard to
libraries, many have secured from
ten to forty and some fifty books.
At Fred Steele's. school | found a
copy of THE international Cook
Book" that was purchased this year.
and while l was looking through the
books, noticed a girl looking up
BONE recipes.
The attendance in most schools is
splendid for this time of the year.

fact I've seen much good work, but
i think I've not seen better school,

seemed to be busy on the right
thing at the right time, no idleness
at work time, the discipline was
perfect and every one seemed in
terested and happy. This struck me
very forcibly as so much of their
future lives depend upon their hab-
its formed in the rural schools.
Aren't these good habits? To b.
busy, happy, interested and act
well.

Scores Lawmakers
Who Buy Drinks
For Young Girls

Information that members of Congress
have been seen drinking with high
school girls in public cafes has been
given the Young Women's Christian AS

Mrs. William Hamilton Bayly, presi-
dent.
II have even been given a list of
names Of men from Capitol Hill who
have been seen buying drinks for young
girls" said Mrs. Bayly. 'If our law
makers behave SO. things seem pretty
desperate. What can be expected of
other people, then?''
Mrs. Bayly, Secretary w. 8. Ufford,
Of the Associated Charities, and others
interested in breaking up the sale of
liquor to girls, agree in declaring that
the only way. to end the trouble will be

Mr.. Ufford said: my conviction is
that the evil Is a steadily growing one.

survey of all conditions in Washington

St. Louis Republicans
Declare for Roosevelt;
Blow for Taft Forces

The hardest blow that has been landed
on the confidence Of the Taft Admins

announcement from st. Louis that the
Republican city committee had adopted

Missouri is moved to the center Of
the political stage by reason of today s
developments in both parties. 1t is an

posed their Clark-Fok quarrel, all hands
agreeing to abide by the decision of the
state primary as between the two
Presidential aspirants,

outbreak of opposition to Taft has left
the Republicans in worse shape than
before. st: Louis is the home OF Secre-

against the resolution despite that they

such a declaration.
Missouri figures In all the lists Of
doubtful States, and Is a very possible
pivot on which the Presidential election
might turn. For many years before the
State got out Of the surely Democratic
list, ST. Louis was the citadel Of Repub-

the declaration OF its city committee
