Teachers Decide
on Election Week
for the Convention

The strenuous effort made by few
dozen school boards in the state to change
tho date of the Nebraska Teachers assoc
citation convention to Thanksgiving OF
Christmas week instead Of election week.
as II stands nov. has reacted upon the
teachers in the judgment Of those who
watched the returns, so that the dates
proposed were voted down. and the cleo
ton week date was this time endorsed
by an overwhelming vote.
Thus. In spite OF the efforts made by
these boards through circularizing the
teachers. election week was again chosen
as the meeting date by vote of 1913, as
against 6g7 for the first half of Thanks

tious day, developing the first case of
real crouch we had had on the trip up
to this point. Patience was tired out,
but not exhausted and after getting
back to our route we made the dirt
fly until 6 o'clock, when we found our
selves a few miles west of Casey,
Iowa, where we pitched our camp.
We had made 200 miles on this our
fourth day out. Retired early and
We're up with the sun at 5 o'clock.
Our two experts went over the car,
making minor adjustments and care
fully looking to all bearings and
bolts. At 7:40 we were rolling along.
From Des Moines to Omaha we ran
over what is called the Transconti-
mental Route, River-to- River Road,
and the White Pole lines. The tele-
graph poles have white bands painted
around them and this assists material
ly in keeping the right roads. The
roadways over these routes are kept
in excellent condition and though most
of them are ordinary dirt surface they
are smooth and fine in dry weather
| 1t was unusual to find a stretch of
road of over one to three miles that
could be called bad and these places
were few and far between. Except
ing some stretches in Wyoming, Ne
vada and California, the same state
ment can be applied TO roads the whole
! length of our trip. We had selected
the very best. time Of the year for our
trip and encountered the minimum
of trouble so far as poor roads were
concerned.
H. a. n h.,
passed through Adell, Dexter, Stuart
Casey, Wyota, Atlantic, Marine, Wal
nut, Avoca, Minden, Nicola, Under
wood, Weston and Council Bluffs
where we paid our second toll fees on
the trip in going over the iron bridge
crossing the Missouri river into Oma-
ha. Toll 10 cents for the car and 20
cents for our four passengers.
1t was :15 p. M, as we crossed over
into Omaha-the most substantial, en-
terprising and we'll built town on our
route between Chicago and Frisco, in
the writer's humble opinion.
In all towns where we stopped for
any length OF time we naturally
sought out the agency of our car and
we soon learned to distinguish be-
tween the agency that gave genuine
service as though it was real pleas
ure, and the bluff kind that had no real
merit in il. Not over a thousand miles
from Omaha we found one of the lat
ter kind. System is a fine thing, but
when the red tape discommodes Gus
/ toners, it is time to cut out a few
yards of it, judgment enough to use
it with business sense and discrimina-
ton.

WAR. TO STIMULATE
POTTERY INDUSTRY
Geological Survey Predicts In.
creased Demand for Ameri-
can Product.

The American demand for pottery
produced In this country will Be stimu-
lated through changes brought about
by the European war. according to the
belief of officials of the United States
Geological Survey. The movement to-
ward stronger hold Of the domestic
pottery market Is said to be well un-
der way. The production In 1913 was
the largest in the history of the in
dustry
There was a considerable decrease in
exports of pottery last year. Geo
logical Survey bulletin says. but the
belief is expressed that this record
should now be reversed by reason OF
the changes in the worlds commerce
that have become inevitable
The higher grades of American pot
terry equal, IL not surpass. some of the
best imported wares" the Geological
Survey declares. There has been
great Improvement In the character OF
the American product In texture, I'M
ish. color. decoration, and the preven-
ton OF Grazing"
: For many years the value Of the
imported pottery excelled the value
of that made at home, but about the
close Of the nineteenth century domes
and since that time IL has greatly ex-
ceeded them, the production in 1913
being nearly four times as great in
value as the imports.
Officials expect to find an outlet for
this eySess production In increased cx-
ports, due to the closing down Of pot
teries in the war zone.
