that Lucy, aged "a, daughter of Mr..

BUSINESS. AS she was getting no relief,
on Saturday last she was taken to
Iowa City where her parents were told
that she was in more serious condit.

trouble as a tumor of the brain. An
operation was planned for Monday
morning, but she died before it could
be performed.
The remains were brought to Cresco
on Wednesday for interment in st.

Cattle Go Over Big Bluff.

A very strange occurrence took
place last Saturday at Plymouth Rock,
just before noon when 56 head of cat
tie belonging to VIM. Mullaney went
over the big bluff on the east side Of
the river. killing several of them out
right and injuring others so that they
diei soon thereafter, "a in all being
killed.
The bluff is about 100 feet in height,
a sort of ravine sloping down part
of the way before coming to the edge
Of a rocky precipice about 60 feet over
the river.
While there were several eye-wit-
nesses to the affair, what caused the
cattle to go over the bluff is not posi-
lively known, but it is surmised that
the cattle which had broken out of
their pasture and were in hay field,
smelled the water and induced by the
thirst caused by the intense heat of
the day, endeavored to get to the
water, and to them the only way
seemed to be to 60 down the little ra-
vine. - ....- lii
A force of men skinned the carcasses
which were burned, barrel of kero-
sene being used to assist in the job.
The cattle killed were q mixed lot OF
val ious ages but will total a loss of
nearly $500.

gave their third annual pianoforte
recital at her home last Monday even
ing, the 18th. A goodly number of
the parents and friends of the pupils
had gathered to enjoy their music, and
at about 8:l5 the splendid program

Patterson, Francis Scholz, Lester
Smith, August Lukes and Loyola Glass
were very nicely rendered and displayed
earnest study and practice on the part

time, accent and expression. The piano

very nicely played by Francis Scholz
ard Gregory Marshall. The piano duet,
"Angelus," by Gonoud, was also very
nicely given by the two youngest men,

numbers of the program, they were

Rural School Notes.

The members of the party from
Howard County attending the National
Education Association at St. Paul the
past week were Leila Phillips, Bessie
Smith, Mrs. Bertha Shafer, Lettie and
Mary Shields, and Dale and Zina Fessen-
den. Others who were in attendance
from our county are Clara Drake,
Marion Harlan, Lola and Dora Perry,
and Sarah Brown.
Many such educational leaders as P.
P. Claxton, Commissioner of Educa a''''n,
Washing ton, D. C. >; Edwin G. Cooley,
Chicago; Robert ]. Alley, President,
University of Maine, and Nathan c.
Schaeffer, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania; ably discussed the
important educational questions of the
day. .
1t is most pleasing and encouraging
to note the interest shown among the
great educators in the effort to make
all school work a training for real life,
as expressed by ]. W. Searson,
Professor of the English Language,
Kansas State Agricultural College,
''The school must train the child for
active life. False school standards
must give way to life Standards"
Also the general interest in better
rural schools is most encouraging.
Never before has there been such an
awakening to the needs of the boys and
girls in the country as at the present
time. improvements have been taking
place in the tow ! and city schools for
years, but little or no Improvement has
been made in the rural schools until
recently. However the movement for
equal educational advantages for city
and country children has begun and will
hereafter be an important factor in
every educational meeting. But little
can be done without the support of the
general public, so every one whether,
professionally educational workers or
not should boost the work along.
Between sessions of the meeting we
took every opportunity to see St. Paul.
Besides visiting the Capitol and Como
Park, we took the auto drive out
Summit Ave. to the River, south on
Riverside Drive to Fort Smelling; to
Minnehaha Park where ten minute
stop was made to see the falls; past
Town and Country Club; through the
State Agricultural College grounds,
the State Fair Grounds, to Como Park
and past the Capitol to the starting
point.
In spite of the fact that we wanted
to see and hear more we felt that,
being in St. Paul only two full days,
we had received as much of benefit
and interest as could be expected in so
short time, and are glad that we
have had the opportunity of attending
the National Education Association of
our country.

Weather, Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending July IL, 1914.
Des Moines, Iowa.

For the week ending July IL, 1914.
Des Moines, Iowa.
This has been the hottest and one Of
the driest weeks of the season. The
average temperature was about de-
grees above the normal, and the daily
maximum temperatures ranged from
80 to 104 degrees. The rainfall was
decidedly deficient except in few To-
calities, of small area, where heavy
local showers occurred. The excessive
heat and dry weather are beginning to
show Injurious effects on corn in the
southern counties, but the crop az .
whole is making rapid growth and ia
still in good condition. The early
planted fields, in all parts of the state
are tasseling and are approaching that
stage of growth when rain will be
needed soon. Favorable conditions
have prevailed for haying, harvesting
and threshing. Considerable rust is re.
ported in late oats and smut is appear
ing in many localities where the seed
was not treated. The rust, however,
is of the red variety and came too late
to do serious harm. In some sections
more or less rust is reported in small
grain. The early potato crop is nearly
a failure. Estimating from the asses.
sors' reports for 1913, Iowa will har-
vest this year a million bushel apple
crop. The fruit is far in advance of
the normal for this time Of the year
and with normal rainfall should reach
good size by harvest time. The cod
ding moth is very bad in unsprayed
orchards and the curculio is reported
as having done considerable damage in
parts of the state The plum crop
will be about 62 per cent and grapes
above g.. .>er cent of the 1918 crop.

brothers, Joseph and James, two
sisters. Elizabeth M. and Margaret, to
mourn her passing which leaves a
wound that only time can heal.
The funeral was held on June 27th at

Quoted by Rev. Father Gum. The
grief stricken family have the sincere
sympathy of the community.

In that narrow bed;

On our loved ones grave;
And when our days on earth are DER,

To join her in her Heavenly Home,
Where all Is joy and love.

One man cursed a woman and 60,
arrested for it. Some of the women
were judges and registrars. The men
were so we'll pleased with their work
that at one place the women were
found to be entirely in charge and the
men were in the rear of the room
warming at a stove and one by one
slipping out to take little liquid
/ refresfilnent.
Women in Illinois cannot vote for
all Offices, but they have a right to
vote in city elections and to vote
upon questions Of local option and
bond issues.
The Democratic majority in Con-
gress on the same day that the wom-
en- ere registering in Illinois decided
that oman suffrage Is d state and not
a national question.
IF women keep marching on at their
present gait toward universal suffrage
the future Democratic caucus will
probably decide that woman suffrage
is not only national, but all inter-
national question.
The question of woman suffrage
has gone beyond the academic stage.
1t looks very much as IL they are
going to vote whether it is acaden1
ically right or not right.

"In common school districts the
annual election is the only time when
the question of building new school
houses, changing the site or transfer
ring funds can be considered. sts
/ "In all districts the election date
Is the only time the seven mills local
tax can be voted.
"The most important question be-
fore our citizens is the vote to elect
the office Of county superintendent
of schools in the 60 counties which
have not yet established this import
ant and greatly needed office.
ut is very significant that no other
enterprise of any considerable mag
nitude is operated without we'll defin-
ed supervision, and that no satisfac-
/ tory school system has been built up
in any state without first providing
for it's supervision and making a, def
mite county unit with. an active
county superintendent at it's head.
County supervision is for the ben
/ eft of the rural schools, and its
worth in Arkansas has been proved
in Is counties. The state department
of public instruction will send free,
upon request, copies of pamphlet
telling specifically just what county
superintendency has already accom-
plished in this state.'
