| An official Of the school board this
afternoon said, II want to correct the
| impression that has been prevailing
around the city the past few days in
regard to the issue of the 100000
school bond issue. 1t seems that
many people think that the board or
education is responsible for the ques-

appear on the ballot or not In this

question. 1t was merely brought up on
the strength of the addresses of DIR.
McMichael, of Chicago, and others,
at the meeting of citizens at the
Grand opera house recently. The
speakers said at that time that Keo-
kuk was badly in need of more and
better schools and the people who
hoard both addresses seemed very
much interested. Hence the action
that was taken at the board meeting
last week"

These are the remarks that called
forth the action of the board of edu

GREW SO FAT KEPT HIM AWAKE
Bursting Cabbage Heads Made
Reports Like a Pistol.

Bucyrus, o, June 9:-John Stanley
of the Stanley Transfer line claims
to have the champion garden and
vegetables. He complains that the
cabbages grow so fast that the heads
burst with such loud reports as to
keep him awake at nights. The
police bothered him about the shoot
ing in his backyard and would not
believe that it was cabbages until
they investigated, themselves. His
tomatoes grew so fast and high that
he could not get poles enough to
support them, and as result he lost
several hundred bushels of them by
their falling over on the ground and
bursting.
He planted the lettuce one even-
ing after he quit work and had a
mess for early morning breakfast
next morning, but the leaves grew
so fast and large that he could not
use them without running them
through a feed cutter.
His radishes were so. juicy and
: tender that the neighbors complain
ed of them because in a high wind
the tops would break off and de-
stroy the neighboring fences.

.EARLHAM EXTENSION
CLASSES ORGANIZE
Supt. Mott Says Richmond
Teachers Take Advantage
of Training Offered.

The first meeting of the Earlham
extension classes was held in the high
school last evening. Arrangements
have been practically completed and
the course of studies has been chosen
by President Kelly, of Earlham, and
Superintendent Mott so tn the class
es can begin work Immediately. The
subjects to be taught are English, his
tory, ethics, French, German and po-
litical science. Another meeting was
called for next Wednesday,
To this movement the people of
Richmond owe much, for through it,
about one-fourth of the grade school
teachers of the city have received de-
grees that otherwise would not have
been granted. This makes the Rich
mond teaching corps much more eff.
cient than it would otherwise be, said
Mr.. Mott today. More grade school
teachers hold degrees in Richmond
than in any other city in the state, ex
cept indianapolis, where the resources
of the school board are much greater
than here. The standard of scholar
ship of Richmond school teachers is
very high and this helps to give the
Richmond schools the high rank which
they hold among other schools of the
country.
