KANSAS CITY-JOPLIN ROAD
Organization Proceeding From the
BeltOn- HarrisOnville Section

Harrisony;ile, Mo- Dec. Goth. The
Harrisonville and Bolton section Of
the projected Kansas City and Joplin
rock road is being organized on a
safe and permanent basis. The gen.
eral feeling is that nineteen miles be-
tween Harrisonville and Bolton will
be built early next spring. There
are two routes proposed, either OF
which is feasible, and when complet-
ed will doubtless be extended toward
the south through Garden City,
Adrian and Butler.
The mile of road connecting the
East Cemetery with the city limits
and the one-fourth mile connecting
the West Cemetery with the city linn
its on the west side, together with
the paving on the city streets, all Of
which has been done within six
months, has given an impetus to the
road Improvement spirit.
Coincident with the improvement
in roads and streets in noticeable ac-
tivity in farm lands. Within the last
ten days the Colonel Woodbridge real
estate firm has sold three farms, ag-
gregationg $50 acres, for $51, 400
cash. The w. H. Eastin farm, near
Daugherty, consisting of $50 acres,
was sold to j. P. Butler Of Jackson
county at $50 per acre. The H. r.
Lyman farm of 800 acres at $3.50
per acre, and the Cole farm of 80
acres, at $10250 per acre, and the
one tract Of 400 acres, was
sold to Hocksmuth Brothers of Hol-
ton, Kansas. These were cash sales.
The Farmers Club and the Coun-
ty Bankers Association are cooper
ating in an effort to procure county
farm advisor, and the prospects are
favorable for employing a farm ex-
pert for the coming year.

Recipes.
The ConlInnner.

Mrs. S. does not like the "store'
syrup, and wants good homemade
article. Take one cupful Of granulat-
ed sugar, three-fourths of cup of
cold water; put water and sugar in
the skillet; or, if you want a brown
syrup, put the sugar in the skillet by
itself, and brown as dark as you like.
When the color you wish, boil the
sugar and water until the syrup is
like thin honey, but not candy. If
you like the flavor, add the juice of
one large lemon.
Corn cob syrup passes for maple
syrup, and is better than the high
priced maple you get at the store.
Take red ears, clean and sound, and
boil in water until it is we'll colored,
then strain, add the sugar to the
water until it is we'll colored, then
strain, add the sugar to the water in
the same proportions you would use
for any syrup, and boil until of the
right consistency.
Another excellently Favored syrup
is made by boiling hickory-chips in
the amount of water wanted until
strong enough, then add the sugar in
usual proportions and boil until the
syrup is right.

To the Patrons of the Butler
Public Schools.
Butler, Mo-, Dec. 81, 1912.

Butler, Mo-, Dec. 81, 1912.
On the afternoon of December 20,
each of the ward schools gave an ex-
cellent programme consisting of
Christmas readings and music. While
not much time had been given to
drilling the children, they had caught
the true Christmas spirit and render
ed their pieces in an excellent man.
ner. At night the High School gave
an excellent programme. At each of
the ward buildings there were about
fifty visitors present and all of them
were pleased with the programme
and felt we'll repaid for their coming.
Among the visitors there was, l be-
lieve, one man. While we were
pleased to have so many ladies pres
ent, we would have been pleased to
have more men.
AT the Washington school they had
on display some of the work done in
each room. This work was of excel
lent quality and received some very
favorable comment from the visitors.
They also served sandwiches and cof-
fee. This was done at some incon-
venience for they had to bring the
stove and dishes from home. This
made me wish that we had manual
training and domestic science in our
schools and at no distant day l hope
to see these subjects introduced.
These would be very practical ad-
dition to our course and it would help
to retain our boys and girls in school
till they graduated.
For the month of December we
had an average attendance of 593 a
day. The per cent of attendance was
95.5. This was a good attendance,
but during November the attendance
was poor on account of the smallpox
and the work is not quite up to what
it should be at this time of the year.
We hope, therefore, that each parent
will make the following new year
resolution: 81 will neither allow my
child to be absent nor tardy except
for sickness or other unavoid-
able cause. will see that my child
gets plenty Of sleep in order that he
may be in receptive condition while
in school. l will visit his room at
least once before the end of the
school year.
On December &c. the Alumni, who
are attending the University, present
ed the High School with beautiful
skin with Missouri on it. Mr..
McFadden, after urging the boys and
girls to seek higher education and
after explaining the advantages of the
University, made the presentation
speech. Mr.. Jackson and Mr. Snyder
also made short speeches. These
talks were thoroughly enjoyed by the
pupils and the present is most highly
appreciated. want to take this op-
portunity of publicly thanking this
for their present and for
their interest they have taken in the
High School. We want them to come ]
and see us every time they are in ,
:own. Respectfully, ,

WOMAN OLDER
THAN ATLANTA
YET IN SCHOOL
Mrs. Emily Bandy, "a, Who Rode
Over Present Site of City, Is
Student in Tennessee.

JOHNSON CITY, TENN, June Il.
One of the most interesting students
who has entered for the summer term
at the East Tennessee State Normal
School is Mrs. Emily A. Bandy. Of
Polk County. Mrs Bandy was born
February %, 1910 ana is in her sew
enty-fOurth year. She is enjoying the
best of health and is very active and
buoyant and one of the most cheerful
and enthusiastic students enrolled
Mrs. Bandy's maiden name was
Mangum She was born at what is
now East Point, near Atlanta, and at
the time of her birth the building of
Atlanta had not begun. She has often
ridden along the roads over the pres
ent site of that lourishing city.
Lived in White Hall House.
For one year she lived in the large,
long white house built by Carna Hum
phreys and which was locally known
as the white Hall House" This gave
the name of Whitehall Street, one Of
the leading thorOughfares of Atlanta.
Mrs. Bandy began teaching in 1864
near GAINESVILLE, Ga, and taught one
year in the first building Of what is
now Gordon Institute. By many she
is known as the Mother of Gordon
Institute" After teaching three years
near Atlanta she married. AGAIN IN
1870 she taught one term near Dalton.
From 1875 to 1873, inclusive, she
taught in Fannin County, Georgia.
She was not engaged in school work
from 1873 to 1884. In the latter year
she began teaching in Fannin County,
Georgia, and has worked continu-
ously ever since in Fannin County
and in Polk County, Tennessee,
teaching in the latter county at Blue
Ridge, Isabella and Copperhjll.
Presence an inspiration.
The presence of the lively. cheerful.
buoyant and learning old woman is
an inspiration to the other $50 young
er teachers registered in the Normal
School. Mrs. Bandy is probably the
oldest person now attending school
in the United States and the Normal
School students feel highly honored
by her presence.
