RESERVATION TEACHERS
HOLD MEETING At ROMAN

The teachers of Arlee district
No. q, held an interesting and
enthusiastic conference at Roman,
Saturday, March 2Sth. Besides
the teachers of the district, rep
resentatives from some of the
commercial clubs, Farmers asso-
Citations and Women's clubs of
the reservation were present.
The reports of the various
committees having in charge the
work of preparation for the an
nual school festival were read
and approved, then the regular
program of the meeting was
taken up.
Miss Azelie Savage of Roman
gave an interesting talk on
methods in teaching history. She
especially emphasized the neces-
sity of making the continuity of
history clear to the pupil. The
discussion that ensued bore
largely on the best means to Sc
cure the correlation of history
and literature.
Prof. F. w. Fry followed with
a paper on experimental demon
stration work in rural schools.
He made a plea for more definite
and scientific teaching of nature
study in the grades so that the
high school pupils would come
better prepared to take up his
laboratory work.
A discussion of how to outline
definite course of nature study
for the schools of the reservation
followed. The concensus of
opinion seemed to be that it
should be taught with reference
to it's bearing upon agriculture.
Supt. S. R. Logan read the re-
port of the secretary of the Post
Creek Activity club and the re-
ports of the secretaries of the
Literary club, the Athletic asso-
citation and the Industrial club of
the Arlee school. By means of
these clubs the pupils of these
schools are being taught self
government as all the activities
of the school outside the regular
school work are thus placed in
their hands. The teachers merely
acting as mentors or advisors.
The next number was a model
recitation in reading by the Sec
ond grade of the Roman school
under the direction Of Miss Kahn.
The meeting declared an in
Permission of fifteen minutes
during which the Roman teach
ers served delicious refreshments
to the visitors. After the inter-
mission the constitutional COM
mite of the Country Life Educa-
tional association held a brief
session and adopted a constitu-
ton and bylaws for the associ-
alton.
Mrs. Newett president of the
Worth While society Of Leon,
was the first to apply for admis-
sion on behalf of the Leon society
but many of the commercial
clubs, farmers associations and
other societies will doubtless be-
come members.
Miss Mcdonald, teacher in the
intermediate grades at St. Igna-
titus, gave a talk on the teaching
of reading in the grades. An
earnest discussion followed as to
the best means of encouraging
wide reading among the children
of the public schools. The Cur
rent Event classes that had been
an important feature in the
language work of some of the
reservation schools were highly
commended for their stimulating
effect upon the out of school
reading of the pupils.

EVANS AS A PROBER
Representative Evans, who
was a member of the Colorado
investigating committee, believes
the committees forthcoming re-
port will show that a most search
ing inquiry was made into condi-
tons prevailing among the strik-
ing miners of that state. He
was one of those who insisted on
going to the bottom of things.
C. w. Taylor, secretary of the
committee. says the Montana
member frequently took up the
line of inquiry where the others
left off and carried it to a point
where startling disclosures were
made. Representative Evans
was particularly active in expos
ing the ruthless tactics Of the
states military guard, and was
regarded by the Colorado miners
as the member of the committee
most in sympathy with the cause
of labor.
McADOO LUCKY MAN
Not content with forcing pre-
mature announcement of the en-
gagement Of the presidents
youngest daughter, Eleanor RAN
dolph Wilson, to Secretary Nc
Adoo of the Treasury depart
ment, capital society is now spec
ulating on the date of the we'd
ding. The White House people
will probably permit the specu-
lation to continue. Everyone in
Washington knows that the an
nouncement of the engagement
was literally smoked out" The
cabinet member and the presi-
dents daughter were seen to-
gether a few times, society Cos
siped and the newspapers pushed
the matter along by publishing
rumors of an engagement. The
White House was then asked to
deny or confirm the rumors and
for awhile remained silent. Sill
ence was interpreted as an ad-
mission and the newspapers be-
came holder, with the result that,
to allay an embarrassing situa-
ton, the formal announcement
was made. Just now Secretary
McAdoo, who is 81 and a grand
father, is receiving congratula-
tions upon his success in Win
ming the hand of the youngest
and most dashing of the presi-
dents daughters. Though more
than twice the age of his pros
pective bride, he is as active and
dapper as man of 30-and he
can dance the tango!
MYERS BILL DEBATED
Senator Myers bill to grant to
the Republic Coal company, a
subsidiary of the Milwaukee rail-
road, power to purchase approx
mately 1000 acres of coal land in
Montana at a price to be fixed by
the Interior department, was
killed in the senate. The meas
ure provoked much debate in
volving the conservation ques-
ton. Under the general law the
Milwaukee railroad cannot pur-
chase more than a section of coal
land and supporters of the Myers
bill advocated it on the ground
that the company ought not to be
driven out of the country to pur-
chase coal which it is willing to
pay for, while opponents of the
measure opposed it as granting
a special privilege to the COM

INDUSTRIAL TRACT
TRADE APPROVED
Property Now 10 all on Ono eide of
Right Of Way and 10
Better,

Tho regular monthly meeting Of the
directors of the Keokuk Industrial
association was held yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock in the association
rooms Various matters OF business
were taken up by the directors and
discussed.
A deal in which the west end OF tho
Rein tract is traded for property be-
longing to Ed Cramer is announced
by the directors. This land which
was secured from Cramer puts the In
dustrial association holdings all on
the east side of the railroad tracks,
and is better suited to industrial site
purposes than the billy west end OF
the tract as It stood before the con-
summation of the deal.
The trade puts all Of the tract
which is controlled by the association
for the purpose of giving industrial
projects some place to locate all on
the east side Of the right OF way and
really makes 1t more desirable. Ths
piece traded is admirable for cultivar
ton but because OF its topography Is
not SO we'll adapted to factory sites.

Labor Exemption Clause.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Hope for
vote on labor exemption in the Clay
ton antitrust bill before adjournment
OF the senate tonight, was expected
today. A vigorous fight against the ex-
emption on the ground that there was
no real demand for 1t and that II pre-
sented a very objectionable kind Of
legislative discrimination, was renew
ed by Senator Pomerene OF Ohio.
Pomsrene called attention to the fact
that there were many prosperous
farmers organizations In Ohio which
did good work, but none of them had
appealed to be exempted from the
provisions Of antitrust law. He also
drew attention to the fact that con-
sumers' leagues which work and per-
haps conspire together for the purpose
of reducing the prices Of food stuffs
were not exempted under the bill,
while farmers and other producing
organizations. except manufacturers,
were 30 excluded.

Bill introduced.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 1e.-Follow-
ing the white house conference Chair
man Alexander Of the house merchant
marine introduced today the admins
tration bill to provide war risk In
surance for American shippers and
vessels during the European war.
The bill creates in the treasury de.
partment bureau OF war risk insurs
ance with director at $1,000 avyear.
The bureau is authorized to write In
surance on American vessels or ship
pers in American vessels, against loss
or damage by the risk OF war, when
over in the judgment Of the secretary
It may appear that American vessels
or shippers in American vessels are
unable in any trade to secure ade-
quate war risk insurance on terms
substantially equal with the vessels
and shippers Of other countries be-
cause of the protection given such
vessels and shippers by their respec-
tive governments through war risk
insurance.
The insurance board acting with
the secretary OF treasury Is empow-
cred to establish policies and pre-
miums and to engage an advisory COM
mittee OF three experts to assist In
the settlement Of claims and similar
matters. In case Of dispute between
a vessel Or shipment and government.
suit may be brought against the Unit
ed States In any federal district court.
The bill provides as an initial insur-
ance fund $5,000,O 900 with 100000 for
the expenses OF the new bureau. The
president is given authority to sus-
pend the proposed new law whenever
ne deems 1t unnecessary to conduct
further insurance business. The bill
was agreed upon at the white house
today by the president, Senators Sim
mons and Clarke, Majority Leader I'm.
derwood, Representative Alexander.
It is provided that all employees Of
the new bureau shall be appointed by
the secretary OF the treasury and
that with the exception Of the direc-
tor, no employee shall receive more
than $4,000 a year and that all en-
ployes receiving less than $4,000 q
year shall be under civil service.
