School Election

The annual school election will
be held Tuesday, April 2. The
levy asked is the same that has
been voted for number of years
past, one dollar on the 500 as
sessed valuation. It takes all of
this amount to run the schools,
and there should be no votes
against it. It will make the school
tax 20 cents less on the $100 valu-
alton than it was last year, The
terms of two directors, DR.. F. W.
Burke and F. F. Pratt, expire
this year. DIR. Burke should be
reelected unanimously, as he is
one of the best members the school
board ever had. Mr.. Pratt was a
faithful member, but he is no
longer a resident Of Laclede and
the voters should elect another
member who will take real in
terest in the schools.

To Nominate City Ticket

A citizens meeting will be held
at seven o'clock Saturday evening,
March %, at Judge o. F. Libby's
law Office to nominate candidates
for the various city Offices to be
voted on at the city election Tues
day, April 2. Officers to be elected
are mayor, police judge, marshal
and one alderman from each ward.
AS some of the present efficient
city officials have declared that
they will not be candidates for re-
election, it has been thought best
to nominate a full non-partisan
ticket in this way and avoid the
'hit-or-miss" plan that has pre-
vailed more or less in the past. Of
course, this will not prevent any
other candidate from getting into
the race, but it gives the voters
chance to express their preference
in advance and name the best men
possible for the various Offices.
All friends oil good government
are invited to attend this meeting
and help select ticket composed
of men who will at all times work
for the best interest of Laclede.

County Spelling Contest

Monday making the final arrange
ments for the county spelling con-
test to be held in Laclede public
school building next Saturday,
March 23. A great deal of in
terest is being manifested all over
the county in this contest, and it is
expected that a large number OF
contestants and their friends will
be present.
The winner of the contest will
represent the county at the state
spelling contest to be held later,
when unusually good prizes will be
offered. The main contest is open
to pupils of any school up to and
including the eighth grade, and, as
previously announced, good prizes
are offered.
The H. Tooey Mercantile Go.
offers the sixth to eighth grade boy
making the highest grade a nice
suit of clothes. The Halliburton
Hartman Dry Goods Co. offers a
misses spring jacket to the girl
from the same grades making best
grades. The Rummell Clothing
Co. will give a S. suit of clothes
to the sixth grade boy standing
highest in the county contest. The
B. F. White Clothing Co. will give
a So suit to the seventh grade boy
making the highest grade. The u.
F. Duker Dry Goods Co. will give
So worth of merchandise to the
sixth grade girl and the same to
the seventh grade girl standing
highest in the county contest.
There will also be contests for
second, third, fourth and fifth
grade pupils, with the following
prizes: The FL. ToOey Mercantile
Co. will give a nice hat to the fifth
grade boy making the highest
average; nice pair of gloves to
the fourth grade boy standing
highest; a good pair of knicker-
bockers to the third grade boy and
one dollars worth of merchandise
to the second grade boy making
the highest grade. The Hallibur-
ton Hartman Dry Goods Co. will
give the following to the girls
making the highest grades: Fifth
grade, child's hat; fourth grade,
wash dress; third grade, silk
parasoI; second grade, pair silk
hose.
Everybody is invited to attend
these contests. Nothing has been
done in recent years that has
aroused so much interest in school
work, and no branch studied in the
public schools is of greater i'm
portance. A good speller has a
better chance of securing employ
ment that is worth while than one
who is good in almost anything
else. Spelling has been neglected
in too many schools in the past,
and these district, township; county
and state contests are helping to
revive interest in what was fast
becoming a lost art.
