HOCH LECTURE IS fine
Ex-Governor of Kansas Entertains
and Instructs GoOd-Sized Audi
ence Here.

A fine audience greeted ex-Gov-
ernor Hoch of Kansas on Saturday
evening at Elks hall. Many minia-
ture sunflowers were in evidence,
worn by natives of Kansas. For an
hour and a half the assembly gave
close attention to the message of the
man from the Sunflower state. He
gave a heart to heart" talk and his
sincerity carried conviction and left
the impression that here was a man
as honest as a briar patch" AL
and as he warmed up to his subject
his face became animated and the
heavy lines upon it seemed to have
been brushed away. He spoke with
out hesitating and scarcely paused
when applauded for some witty re-
mark or an amusing story. What he
said in the brief time allotted would
fill volume. He pleaded for toler-
ance of opinion, for free discussion,
and exalted the lecture platform.
He paid a tribute to the women vot-
ers and to that citadel of our liber-
ties, the ideal home. Declared the
world is growing better, citing the
peace pact between three great ma
tions as evidence; also the Men S
Forward Movement and the Associa-
tion of Christian Travelling Men,
which has enrolled 10000 members.
Touching upon religion and the
Bible as being the book of books-a
mountain of truth-he provoked a
smile by saying that some people
gagged at the story of Jonah and the
whale; but after he had seen the
skeleton of one of these monsters
of the deep at the Worlds Fair his
only cause for wonder was that the
whale ever discovered that Jonah was
there. Another smile when he said
Oregon is the second best state in
the Union, and the best woman in
the world resides in Marion, Kan.
His adopted state was eulogized in
respect to laws enacted in the inter-
est of the people when he mentioned
the industrial problem, the race
problem, the liquor question, the
twine trust, the oil monopoly, the
school book trust, the white plague,
public drinking cups, gambling, the
cigarette evil, regulation of railroad
traffic, banking laws and others
which are a matter of history In
closing he appealed to the young
man to get ready for his job, stating
that the clean young fellow in this
day and age can be anything, and
declared that a good book was the
best company and a good name the
best legacy. He said if his words
had made a rift in the clouds for
any soul he was well paid, and ended
with quoting the words of the apos-
tie Paul in Phil. AS.
A number of people tarried in the
hall at the close of the lecture to
congratulate the speaker and to give
him hearty handshake.
We doff our hat to Hon. E. W.
Hoch of the Sunflower state, and
pray that his tribe may increase.

COST OF SCHOOL SUPERVISION
Continued from Page One.)
Advocated BY Many.

The school supervisory law has
been endorsed by the State Grange,
the State Teachers Association, and
every body of school officers in the
state that has taken vote on the
question. 1t is advocated by all
leading educators and writer's on
subjects pertaining to rural life. The
rejuvenation of rural life is to come
largely through the improvement OF
the rural school. The great influx
from the farm to the city is caused
largely because OF better school ad-
vantages in the city. We hope the
time will come when the country
school will be as attractive and as
we'll organized as the city school.
If the time ever comes, t will come
through close rural school super
vision.
The statement in the Mail Tribune
that 'all this brigade (superinten-
dent and supervisory has to do is to
inspect and supervise schools and en-
force the course OF study" is as abb
surd and meaningless as to say that
all the county judge has to do is to
audit and pay the bills of the county.

The basketball team will play
Klamath Falls high school on Thurs
day and Friday nights at Klamath
Falls and again on Saturday night at
Ashland. No school will be missed
as Thursday and Friday will be used
in grading papers and making out
schedules. The team is in good con-
dition and well trained. The fact
that the boys broke even on their
northern trip shows their class, as a
visiting team must be at least 25 per
cent better than the home team to
win over it. Probably. considering
the length of time that they have
practiced, the team is better even
than last years, and should give
Ashland some first-class games dur.
ing the season. This will be Ash.
lands first big game on her own
floor this year.

$3.85 For Each Pupil.

The county treausrer's books
show that the cost of salaries for
experimenting the country schools
here last year was over $1,000. The
superintendent records show there
are 1877 pupils in the country
schools so superintended-th
some are only for a few months in
the year. This makes the cost of
experimenting alone $3.S5 for each
pupil.
Since its creation, and until the
last IS months, one superintendent
has supervised all the schools in
Jackson county-and has done it for
$1,000 a year. Mr.. Wells himself
was glad to do it for two terms at
that rate. There has been no visible
improvement in the standard of the
students turned out or in the schools
themselves to justify the employment

for the alternating chinch bugs.
Those fields near wheat and corn fields
which were infested during the sum

can be detected from the disa greeab bic

Wherever they are found the fields
should be burned over Immediately

Death Of Mrs. Smith

Died. Jan. II, 1918, at her home in
the Ingersol neighborhood ten miles
north of Washburn. Mrs. L.. S. Smith.
On October 2, 1856. in u small town
in Michigan, Kittie 1sham was born.
She grew to womanhood in the home of
her childhood and was united in mar
riage to Charles Fields, one son was
born to them but was spared but a few
years when death took him.
In March 1899 at Coon Rapids, Iowa,
she was married to L. S. Smith and
moved to this state in 1900. Mr.. Smith
had previously entered his homestead
and this has been their home since.
Mrs. Smith has been in poor health for
some time and on the 18th day of last
December had a stroke of paralysis
since which time she has grown weaker
until death came to relieve her from
this suffering Jan. II. From childhood
she had been a member of q Christian
church and lived an exemplary life. A
large concourse of people attended the
funeral services which were conducted
by Rev. D. D. Mitchell of Washburn.
Beautiful floral decorations express
the high esteem in which she was held.
