THE civil service commission Is again
giving notice that an examination will be
hello this time at Oil City, for the position
of postmaster at West Hickory, this
county, on Saturday, March 2S, 1914.
This will be the second examination held
for the purpose of getting postmaster
for that office, which paid compensation
for the last year OF $4,000. Just why the
Democratic department at Washington
did not make an appointment from the
list OF applicants at The last examination
is somewhat of puzzle to the good peo.
pie who pstronizs that Office, as it il
known that at least one exceptionally
worthy applicant passed an almost fault
less examination mentally, and as TO
moral and physical requirements, ifthese
count for anything, the applicant would
also mark up close to the hundred per-
cent mark. Can 1t be that this grand and
lofty admins ration is influenced by any
political consideration? Perish the
thought! Bear in mind that the office at
West Hickory is in the civil service class,
but it must also be remembered that this
is bourbon administration, with which
the mere matter of ability and moral
worth count for little as against political
predictions.

Ice Cave In Iowa.

The following letter by born and
reared to young manhood Barn EFT town
ship boy will interest many of the RE.
PUBLICAN's readers.
ED. REPUBLICAN:-I read in your paper
with much interest OF the gas and oil
drilling operations in your county and
particularly In Barnett township. Those
people sure deserve everything they can
get out OF the ground from potatoes to
gas, oil, gold or diamonds, and / most
sincerely hope that their persistant efforts
may bring them abundant success. We
use gas in our hon for lighting, cooking
and ironing, and my wife and are very
much pleased with IL. The gas we use Ia
manu- factured by q company which has
large plant and many miles OF main
pipes, one of which is laid two feet under
ground in front of our house. We pay
one dollar and thirty cts (sl 30) per thous
and feet. By.the-wsy, will say my
photo Studio Is heated by steam and
lighted by electricity, which I also use
for finishing photos. We had q delight
ful winter in Iowa until the proverbial
grounding saw his shadow, since which
lime we have had some zero weather and
the first snow to make sleighing in our
county this winter.
am sending you herewith 9 photo Of
our "Ice Cave" located in bluff across
the river directly opposite and only a
quarter of q mile from town. In this cave
which faces toward the south, there never
is any ice during the winter but every
Summer there are icicles hanging, and
also natural ice formations on the walls
of this cave. The hotter the weather out
side the more ice there is in this cave. Do
hear some one say Ananissi No, the
above are facts that would be readily
vouched for by any minister or other
citizen of Dec rsh, and il you or any
reader of the REPUBLICAN can give 9
satisfactory explanation of this phe.
uomenOn you can do more than any one
else has ever been able to do. Many
tourists and strangers visit this cave
every Summer.

The Marion Bickford Concert.

While not largely attended. very
enthusiastic and fairly good sized
audience were most highly entertained
at the opera hall last t'evening. ''Songs
You Like to Hear" we'll expresses the
selections rendered by Miss Bickford
and all were charmed with her wonder
fully sweet contralto voice and grace
full manner. One of the most pleas
ing things about the concert was the
fact that her selections were under
standable, and we did not find ourselves
constantly wondering just what the
song was all about, as has been so
often the case.
:. :. Miss = Daisy Stevens has a very
charming manner and all her readings
were received with much applause.
Both the clarinet obligato and Air
Varie by Slayton Lang showed splendid
technique with just that right shading
that shows the difference between a
musician and a player. These numbers
were enthusias stically received. Amory
Seaver accompan both Miss Bick-
ford and Mr.. lang in very creditable
manner. Certainly it was splendid
concert by young and talented artists.
and the encor res to each and every
selection showed the appreciation of
the audience.

ness man, who has brought the Chand-

efficiency. Upon their return from

SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. lst
High School to Have Another Assistant.
Domestic Science, Mechanical Draw
ing, Manual Training and Teach
ers' Training Course
Established

The educational demands of the
school district have made it imperative
to broaden the range of work in the
academy to such an extent as to
necessitate employing four full time
teachers in the high school besides the
special teacher of music. There will
therefore be three assistants in the
academy, two women and one man.
The latter will act in the capacity of
assistant principal.
Besides his work in supervision and
general oversight of the building the
principal will conduct classes in
mathematics. science. manual training
and mechanical drawing. The work in
manual training is to be begun in
grades seven and eight and later made
regular part of the academy pro.
gram. A full course of work in
mechanical drawing has been mapped
out so as to be begun in the seventh
grade and continued through the four
years in the academy. Here is to be
laid a basis for practical endeavor
pupil is to be taught to think and
to be able to use his hands,
! An efficient teacher has been secured
! to conduct courses in music and in
domestic science. The work in music
| is to be similar in nature to that of
last year. Domestic science, which is a
new departure, will consist of course
in cooking open to seniors and a
course in sewing open to juniors. In
addition to this some work will be
done in sewing in grade eight.
The school trustees have finally
! decided to- introduce a teacher training
course on lines recommended by the
state board of education. An expert
training teacher has been guaranteed
| by the superintendent of education to
direct this department of the school.
Indications are that large number of
students will enroll for the training
course. 1t will be open to high school
graduates only.
Circumstances will prevent the
publication of a school catalog until
about September l, but in order tC
bring our scheme of studies before the
undergraduates and prospective stu
dents. the school will issue in few
days a preliminary announcement of
courses. These will be available at
this office, Pierce's pharmacy and on
the fair grounds Tuesday, the 18th.
From now on till further motto the
principal will be in his office at the
academy on Tuesday and Friday after.
Moons of each week from two until five
o'clock to consult with parents anc
pupils concerning the courses of study
1t is requested that those who have
rooms to rent to students or teachers
will communicate with the principal

Former Barton Boy Gets War News.

Dean Lewis, son of N. M. Lewis,
formerly of this town and now at
Northampton. Mass, has one of the
best wireless stations in Massachu-
setts. His range for strong stations is
over $500 miles and he has picked up
messages from Colon. Panama OF
late he has heen getting news from
the warships and liners off the coast,
says Springfield. (Mass.,) daily. Of
course the messages between the fight
ing craft are in cipher, but neverthe-
less, they are interesting and indicate
localities, while others were messages
of a private nature from people ON
board the liners. The sending stations
on warships are not of the so-calIed
high power stations but have radius
of about 400 to 600 miles. so Mr.. Lewis
cannot get messages farther away
than that. Mr.. Lewis is bound under
federal law not to make public any
messages he shall intercept.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the e-..Orleans
County Agricultural association was
held at Orleans yesterday with large
attendance, estimated as high as two
hundred. Practically every town in
the county was we'll represented and a
good spirit was manifest. ---s -
President Cleveland called the meet
ing to order and called for the report
of the secretary treasurer, G.. w. Rich
mond, of Newport. Mr.. Richmond's
report shows a total membership of
$50, the largest association in Ver-
mont, although the youngest. Total
receipts to date had been only $77O
with disbursements of $3.50. He urged
members to get others and make the
association number 1000 members.
This would make splendid association
and would take less than half the
farmers of the county. Es -.
At the business session the first
matter considered was the adoption of
a new set of bylaws and new consti-
tuition which a committees had pre-
viously drawn UP. They were read and
adopted. In this document the MEM
bership fee was raised from 81 to 81,
the executive counsel was made elec-
tive instead of appointive and other
minor changes made.
The officers elected were the old list,
H. C. Cleveland of Coventry. presi-
dent; c. H. Root of Craftsbury, vice.
president; c. w. Richmond. secretary /:
S. E. Gray of Morgan, S. T. Vance of
Glover. Arthur Wells of Newport and
]. H. Lanou of Irasburg were elected to
the executive counsel and the old advi-
sorry board was elected, consisting of
one member from each town.
The report of county agent, r. E.
Deuel., was valuable document and
the Monitor will print it in full next
week.
After dinner Prof. Hills of u. Y.
M. gave most helpful address and
the meeting adjourned with new
enthusiasm for the work of the asso-
citation.
