Steel Bridges Saved
Lee County Big Sum
Recent Fre.het Did Comparatively Little Domsg,

Recent Freshet Did Comparatively Little Domsge
On account Of the fact that the
bridges in Lee county over all the
principalstreams are steel structures
the county was saved a large sum
from the recent freshet. Consider
ing the unusually high food that
prevailed, the loss is comparatively
small.
A few years ago when allrge num-
Der Of the bridges Of the county we're
wooden structures theywere destroy
ed either in par or almost entirely
By such frcshets as the recent one.
The steel bridges stand these fresh
cts as the recent one. The steel brid-
ges stand these freshets with but
little damage, except to the APP
proaches to the bridge.
1t is the purpose of the people Of
Lee county to continue the wide
spread Improvement in roads and
bridges which has revolutionized
the system within decade. The
damages done by the recent rains
to the roads arc already being re-
paired by the conyicts under the

Would Have Teachers Unite.

Evans H. not satisfied with the mem
hership of the State Teachers Assu.
citation and, along with others in
tercsted IN the organization, IL max
ing strenuous effort 90 induce more
teachers to join it. There are near
ly 5000 teachers in Missouri, he
says, and less than one.eighth of
this number belong to the associa-
ton This is not as it should be, he
thinks, in view Of the strides cdura.
tion has taken in the state during
the past few years and the fine line
Of educational legislation that was
enacted by the last session of the
general assembly.
There is yet much to be done, Mr..
Evans says, in completing an or
ganizatiou for greater efficiency in
public school administration in
county and state and in view of the
Importance OF the work to themsel-
yes and the schools ali teachers
should be willing to contribute by
becoming members Of the associa-
tion.
AS general proposition the wages
Of teachers in the public schools of
Missouri are disgracefnlly low, but
there is now an upward tendency,
especially in the districts that vote
the maximum levy of 10 cents on
the hundred to secure the state aid
provided by act of the last legisla-
lure.

Population Growing Faster Than
Farm Products.

American crops do not keep pace
with the growth of American popu-
lation. In twelve years the number
OF people to be fed has risen ~, 1000,
900 but the wheat harvest OF 1913 eX-
ceeds that of 1901 by only 5000, 200
bushels.
Wheat acreage is now no greater
than it was dozen years ago. This
years corn crop, while falling below
the banner yield of 1912 by one
fourth, still compares favorably
with the crop of decade ago.
But the total output of the farms,
measured by bushels or tons, Is now
much less per capital than 1t was
years ago. Farm methods are i'm
proving but they have not yet inn
proved enough to swell greatly the
volume Of the harvests.
Agricultural products grow more
valuable, because the quantity raised
for each person steadily declines.
so when II comes to measuring in
dollars the value of what was brought
out of American farms this year,
the total may rival that of last year,
which broke all preceding records.
What the country desires, how
ever, is not dearer crops, but greater
ones. 1t wants more bushels and
more tons and not higher quotations.
American energy can be expended
to no better purpose than to en-
courage good farming, because here
lies one secret Of the high cost of
failure of American
farms 20 produce as much per capita
as they once did.-Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

Visitors of last week were Mes

The teachers will this year meet
once month for the reading and
discussion of thinking and Learn.
ing TO Think" by Mr.. n, G. Schaef-
fer. The High School teachers and
the grade teachers will hold separ-
ate meetings also once each month
for the discussion or department
work.
School dismissed Friday for the
Fair, but the weather was so unfa-
vorable the children did not get the
benefit OF the Fair. Quite n mum.
Der of them attended SATURDAY.
They were granted free admission
Saturday, for which we desire To eN.
press to the Fair management oar
appreciation.
The attendance last week, while
not so good as the week preceding,
is considered quite good when we
take into consideration the other at.
tractious. The percentage of at.
tendance for the two days school
was in session while the Fair was in
progress was 30. For the first two
days OF the week 1t was about gS
per cent.
1t Is the purpose of every teacher
In the school to keep each child do
ing satisfactory work. To accom-
plish this it is essential that, D the
child be prepared for the work now
undertaken, (2) that he or she be
regular in attendance, CD that each

also be the cause for demotion. W.

- ONE Of the Repu bllcan pa
~ pers appear to be getting a
good deal of satisfaction out
of criticisms of President Wilson's
suggestion to American residents
in Mexico to leave that distracted
country, and the governments Of
fer to furnish transportation to
refugees who desire to leave. They
declare that American residents
there resent the idea and that the
administration 5 positions in this
matter makes their residence there
all the more insecure. But it
seems to us that such carping crit.
cism is prompted more by desire
to find fault than any deep concern
for the welfare of those most con-
eerned, as they have no better
plan to offer. They do no openly
suggest armed intervention for the
protection of American residents
for that would mean war, and the
idea of war with Mexico is not pop.
ular in this country, nor would it
be wise or patriotic.
In the chaotic condition of our
neighboring republic, neithG the
Huerta regime nor the Constitu-
tionalis,s who are endeavoring to
overthrow Huerta are able to af.
ford adequate protection to foreign
residents against the lawless bril-
gandage that infests Mexico, how.
ever much they may pretend they
can and are willing to do so. Re.
ports of outrages and even murder
of American residents fill the pa
pers daily. The suggestion or ad.
vice of President Wilson is not
mandatory, and those American
residents who want to remain in
Mexico and think they will have
adequate protection of life and |
property can do SO; but it is a fact |
that many are availing themselves
of the governments offer to fur
nish them a means of escape, which
goes to prove that they do not feel
secure and are glad to get out of
that country.
