1t will be to the best advantage Of all
Of us to be friends with work. This is
the medium through which we reach any
state worth reaching. Work rightly ap-
piled will accomplish wonders that we
can hardly realize. -
Puritan muslin underwear and Athena
knit underwear for Spring arrived this
week. The mills have been little slow
in delivering this merchandise this seas
on on account of the rush Of orders for
these particular lines. BY early selec-
tions we have been able to secure a com
plete stock OF these goods.

that we procured within the last few
days. II this is what is claimed for it we

have considerably over 100 feet of floor
cases alone.

We believe it pays both financially and
in the satisfaction we gain in doing
things better than the others. We in
tend to always give you little more
service, little better quality at better
price than you secure elsewhere.
We received minor repairs for both
our adding machine and typewriter this

we'll understood in Europe, and. in
fact, it would seem 10 be better un'
derstood over there than in many parts
Of our own loved land. There are
Americans thinking it to be chip on
Uncle Sans shoulder, and believing it
to impose upon US the duty Of prevent
ing any foreign power from building
Notifications on American continental
soil, which il has held from time i'm
memorial. OF these are the people
crying out that the Monroe doctrine
IS threatened by what is said TO be
the purpose Of Great Britain TO make
naval base and station at the
Bermuda Islands.
Great Britain found the Bermuda
Islands before she lost us, Shu held
them several generations before the
Monroe doctrine was enunciated. She
can exercise over them that "domin-
ion" Secretary Olney told her she
could not attempt TO exercise over
Nicaragua. But building a naval sta
ton there would be a menace. 1t
would be a menace to the United
States and not to the Monroe doctrine,
any further than that the Monroe doc,
trine must stand or fall with the United
States. A great British naval station,
so near our main shore line, and so
directly in the path to the eastern en-
trance Of the Panama Canal, could
only be regarded by US as a menace,
But there is nothing we can do about
| it. The act would be no violation o.
any right or sovereignty Of ours, how
ever clearly it might seem to constitute
a menace to our safety and interest.
The talk may be diplomttic trick.
1t may be raised pending action at
Washington in connection with matters
concerning the management Of the
Panama Canal. In the original draft
Of the Panama treaty with Great
Britain we were made to waive the
right Of iortifcation. The Senate
mended the treaty and restored the
right. There are other clauses in
the treaty still open to controversy

The Monroe Doctrine.

Don't let the Monroe doctrine be-
come raw-head and bloody bones.
There are few things we have been
called to do with it, and few we may
yet be called to do. We used it TO put
the French out OF Mexico when, alter
sending an army there to enforce the
payment Of a debt, they had attempted
to hold all Of Mexico's real estate as
collateral and under foreclosure. We
had TO use it against Great Britain when
that country sought 10 grab large
slice Of Venezuelan territory. And
Secretary Olney had TO define its
meaning to European understanding
when he authorized Great Britain to
land force OF marines at Corinto, seize
the Nicaraguan custom hause there,
collect the revenues, and hold it until
the revenues liquidated the debt.
Just what the Monroe doctrine
means for US has been pretty vel
elucidated. Il is our conviction it j!

Miss Myrtle Wood Of the Springfield

The School Of the 0zarks.

Ike School OF the Ozarks is busy
these days getting ready for the open
ing Of school on the first Tuesday in
September. A number Of changes are
under way which will make for the bet
ternent Of the appearance Of things.
A number Of unlocked for changes
have been made in the teaching force.
When school closed it was thought
that Miss Johnson would be the only
teacher who would not return, and 10
fill her place Mr.. Paddock, Of Mon
mouth, Illinois, had been secured.
Mr.. Paddock has made for himself a
good name in the common and high
schools OF Monmouth and we hope
great things for him here, He will
have charge Of the grades.
Just after school closed Miss Craig
handed in her resignation. The rea-
son therefor became apparent when we
received the wedding announcement
about the first Of August. She was
married on the oath Of July to Mr.. Lyle,
Stone, former student OF the school.
Miss Craig will be greatly missed in
the school, particularly in its religious
life. Miss Helen Brown Of Hollister
will take her place. Miss Brown is the
daughter Of Rev. DR.. Brown. she has
been making some special preparation
for her work in the Springfield Normal.
Late in June word was received Of the
serious illness OF Miss DYsart. After
severe operation in the Springfield
hospital, it became evident that she
would not be able to resume her work
at the opening Of the school, and her
physician gave her little promise for
the year. And so with great reluctance
she resigned her position as matron,
Her loss will be most keenly felt, as
hers was a most responsible position.
The board has secured Mrs. Maud
Finch of Kansas City to take this po'
siton.
Recently word has been received
that, owing to the serious illness o.
Miss Dayis's mother, she will not be
able to return, at least by the tins
school opens. No arrangement has
been made for this place yet, anC
hopes are entertained that Miss Davi
will be able to return.
Mr.. Paddock is already on tht
ground and is assisting in the repair
about the school. Mrs. Finch expect
to be here about the 20th oIthe month
The prospects for the year seem Il
be good. There is a demand 70

idfiey G0uhiy SGHVos sVssa IeHsehIil!h'
The Taney County school board
convention which held its first session
in Forsyth, July % and 29, is long
step in the right direction, There has
never been, perhaps, an educational
meeting in the county where so much
interest was manifested. From the
eighty eight school officers present
were lively and interesting discussions
on school improvement in general.
One OF the most definite things brought
out was the use OF the sanitary water
jar which many OF the boards expect to
put into their schools this year; better
Libraries and care Of same were strongly
emphasized.
At the night session Supt. J. R.
Roberts Of Springfield gave an interest
and profitable lecture, driving home
good points, such as odd Tight Wad''
going to the schnol meeting to vote
against a little increase in the school
levy. Also, the odd Timer" who
says The school house is good enough
for my boy, it is as good as the house
in which / attended school forty years
ago.. Supt. Roberts asked why these
men did not send their boys out TO
plow with the OK team and the bull
tongue plow, instead Of the red cultivat-
or and the mule team, if they believed
in old time ways.
The morning session was a discussion
OF the school law, reports and notices.
Here many good things were brought
to light, and it is hoped that better and
more prompt reports will be sent in
from each district. The compulsory
attendance was threshed out in good
shape, and the folly Of parenls keeping
their children out Of school on petty
excuses was censured.
After hearing and adopting the
following resolutions, the convention
proceeded to nominate and elect the
following officers for next year;
Pres. w. +. Irwin, district 53.
Vice Pres. A. T. Morris, district 2S,
Sec. Seth D. Fairchild, district 38
Treas. J. c. Parrish, district 80.
The committee onresolutions report
ed as follows:
Resolved: That the water buckle
and dipper be abolished and the wate
| jar with faucet and individual drinking
cups be used instead, believing thi
to be for the betterment OF the healtl
OF our school children. And be i
further
Resolved: That We are in favor o
a uniform .ext book law for the state o

room was burst open and three Wild
looking men, carrying torches In their
hands stood on the threshold They
gave a shout of delight at the sight q

said. her eyes blazing with Indignation
How dare you come in here"
Easy, easy. Btae dove" said one Of
them. a gigantic. oad-shouldered fell
low. NO harm shall come to you or my
name is not Carron"
In spite Of her struggles he picked
her up and carried her out into the
street Lolette screamed and struck his
face with her cIenched fists. but he only
laughed, looked at her with a beastlv
expression in his eyes and carried her
toward a small house outside the town
As he put her down to open the door
a young man came rushing from the
direction they had come. Caron cursed
and drew his sword
Jean" cried LoIette. Help me,
Jean"
The next moment Jean Potion was at
her side.
Car.yn grinned maliciously.
Little boys should not have sweet
hearts" he Knocked. The girl is
mine"
The words had barely left his lips
when Jean was at him. Dodging the
sword he caught Carron about the
waist, raised him into the air and
threw him down into the ditch. where
the scoundrel lay groaning with two
broken ribs
For several hours Jean walked on
carrying Loiette in his arms At last
they met a squad Of soldiers under the
command Of a young lieutenant
Jean Potion gave his name and told
where they came from. The lieutenant
who looked like a mere boy, gave Lolette
his cloak and escorted the couple 10 the
nearest village
Before the soldiers left Jean Potion
asked a sergeant the name Of the lieu
tenant. making fun Of his boyish ap-
pearance
Yes, he is very young" said the
sergeant, but he is as hard as nails
and knows how TO handle men He IS a
Corsican and his name is Bonaparte-
