President Wilson in carrying out the
policies which can only be carried out
through the election of Democratic
House and Senate in the fall elections
this year.
Kansas. Missouri and Oklahoma have
found that the sun shines and the crops
grow under Democratic as we'll as a
Republican administration, and that
they are not dependent for the fruits
of the earth on the goodness of heart
of the Republican administrations they
have been coerced into. electing.
Kansas has sent an appeal to Secretary
Of Labor Wilson for 10000 harvest
hands to help her thresh her record
breaking wheat crop; Missouri wants
30, 600 men and Oklahoma Is, 900. All
these states have established free
agencies. They are pay
ng from So to $35O day and board.
And yet because the "stock market is
lulu Wall Street sees depression.

"SWat the Rooster. ;"

"Swat the Rooster" is the battle
cry in poultry and egg circles in many
states, the governors of several states
having made official proclamation Of
Rooster Day" at various dates from
May 23rd to June 18th, and various
associations of poultry and egg buyers
have pledgsd themselves to pay on
Rooster Day. the same price for
ROSTERS as for hens, estimating that
the extra outlay on this account would
be made up later by the better condi-
ton of summer eggs.
Poultry clubs are being organized
under government supervision and the
railroads are issuing pamphlets through
which the farmers are being urged to
dispose of their roosters before June /,
so that all the lay after that date will
be infertile. These authorities are
pointing cut the fact that the Matching
season in these states will be passed by
June l, and there is no longer any
excuse for keeping the male birds.
Repeated and careful experiments have
proven conclusively that focks of hens
will lay more eggs if the boosters are
not allowed to run at large.
The egg producing public is being
brought to understand that it is the fer
tile eggs that spoil quickly and do not
have to be in an incubator for the germ
to begin to develop. Few people real
lied before this fact but the Inaugural
ton of this campaign for better eggs
has shown them that infertile eggs
keep in good condition for two or more
weeks in temperature where fertile
eggs would spoil in "a hours. 1t is
hoped that this movement to eliminate
fertile eggs will be the means of STOP
Ding the trem endous losses sustained
every summer and increase the returns
% the farmers.

The Big Five Summer School.

The State Superintendent has just
sent out notice to all accredited high
schools that all persons who expect to
write for certificates after July l, 1915,
should attend Summer School this sum-
mer as they will not be permitted to
write on the examinations unless they
have had twelve weeks of Normal
Training. This means that all pros
pective teachers should get six weeks
of Summer School this summer.
Owing to the fact that nearly all
teachers should attend Summer
School this year, and that it would be
too expensive to hold these in the vari-
Gus counties, the Superintendent of
the Big Five Counties have decided
that it would be cheaper and better for
our teachers to attend at Upper Iowa
since they already have an accredited
Summer Normal. As most of the
counties have discontinued Summer
Institutes and according to new school
laws cannot hold any after July l, 1914,
the County Superintendent are anxious
to have their teachers attend the same
school that they may all be together.
The Summer School at Upper Iowa
this year is your Summer School. 1t
is held under the direction of the
County Superintendent of Alamakee,
Clayton, Fayette, Howard and Winnie
shiek Counties.
All teachers may take their examina
tions for County Certificates at Fay
cite either the first week or the last
week of the Summer School without
extra fee. -.
If you hold Second or Third grade
certificate attend the Summer School
held at Fayette and secure three. points
additional on your salary. That is, if
you have an average of 80 you can
draw pay for a grade of SO.
