" The county commissioners spent
several days last week in looking over
court houses which the surrounding
counties have erected. The county
board is seriously considering the
problem that Is confronting them and
the members Of the board have con
cludcd that it is high time to act II the
records Of this county are to be pre-.
served. In the opinion Of the Chief
they are taking the proper method OF
procedure in that they intend to plan
. court house suitable to the needs OF
Webster county, and then submit all
the plans and specifications to the
PEOPLE SO everyone can know jus,
what the board will do.
The taxpayers Of this county have g
right to know just what the board will
do and we believe that this Is ths
only manner Of procedure that viii

Teachers Institute a
Grand Success

The teachers Of Webster county met
in institute, in the Washington build.
ing of the Red Cloud schools on Aug.
~, 1912. The greater part of the fore.
noon having been spent In registering
the regular work did not begin until
1913 o'clock. From that time the regn.
lar schedule of classes was followed
without u break.
Throughout the week Professor
Rouse of Peru Normal had charge of
the classes in school management,
arithmetic, methods. and beginners
round table. In all his work Mr..
Rouse is very practical and in some
lines may well be called reformer.
In arithmetic Mr.. Rouse made q spec.
iai appeal for more practical problems,
better presentation and advocated an
absence Of the subject from the frs.
grades In schools.
Professor Brown, of Lincoln, had
charge Of the work In hygiene, pri.
mary reading and language, primary
plans and domestic science and arts
Miss Brown, like Mr.. Rouse, was very
practical in her work giving out much
valuable information tending to help
the rural teacher cope with the trying
problems that daily come up in her
work. Among other things that were
advocated by Miss Brown was the
warm lunch at noon for those child
rem, who by necessity, must eat their
dinners in the school room. She
pointed out that this could quite easily
be done, by showing in how simple a
way 1t can be arranged for.
Two lectures were given during the
institute. The Hrst was given ut the
NJ. e. church, ON Wednesday evening
by Mr.. j. w. Gamble Of Omaha. Mr..
Gable had for his subject "Conserva.
tion". lie confined his thought to the
present loss by Are and the loss by
prcventable disease. The speaker
pleased bis audience with his quiet
manner and impressed them with the
thought Of his discourse.
On Friday evening Professor Rouse
delivered his lecture "The Rewards of
u Teacher. Professor Rouse's words
were soul inspiring, directing the
thought rs they did to the higher,
nobler things In life. As long as the
teachers Of this institute shall last
they cannot forget the kind words of
Mr.. Rouse.
Following the lecture Of Mr.. Gamble
on Wednesday evening the teachers
descended to the basement of the
church for the annual institute RECEIPT
ion and enjoyed themselves iu a get
acquainted" process. Here they
spent delightful time and at q late
hour left the church happier aud more
at home.
The musical program OF the institute
was as follows:

Important New
p. O. Ruling

In view of the general practice of
affixing non-postage christmas"
stamps or other adhesive charity
stamps or labels to articles mailed
during the Christmas season the
United States postoffice calls after
tion to the fact that no adhesive
stamps of any design whatever, 9TH
er than lawful postage stamps may
be affixed to the address side of
domestic mail matter, but that such
Stamps, provided they do not re-
semble lawful postage stamps, and
do not bear numerals, may be af-
fixed to the reverse side Of domes-
tic mail matter. All domestic mail
bearing on the address side stamps
other than lawful postage stamps
will be returned to the sender, if
known; otherwise they will be for
warded to the division of dead let
ters. For foreign mails also adbe-
sive charity stamps or labels must
not resemble regular postageistamps
and may only be affixed to the back
and not to the address side of the
covers. To preclude delay in the
handling of articles bearing such
stamps the covers of the articles
should bear the full name and ad.
dress of the senders.
