as it's honored president. It is true that there were those who were suspi- cious of the purpose of the confer ence and they were not slow to pass adverse criticism on those who stood as leaders in its councils. The sober judgment of others, who are as loyal to the south and her interests as the most sacred ties and associations can make them, has decided that the mo- tives leading to the establishing of this conference and the results that have followed from it's working de serve the highest commendation.
 The Southern Educational Asso- citation has from the first been recog- nized as one of the most potent inau- ences in bringing about educational reforms, encouraging higher intellect ual standards and placing a correct evaluation on all movements looking to the upbuilding of the South and se- curing for it that recognition to which its native wealth and acknowledged talent justly entities it.
 "The coming meeting will be of much value to all who attend and participate in it's deliberations. Ar kansas has had fair representation at the meetings of each of these or ganizations in other years, and this year should prove no exception. The program will be varied and interest ing; entertainments of various kinds will be provided and pleasant and profitable time is assured.

Pukwana-People throughout the
whole south country have had their
curiosity aroused lately by what they
declare are supernatural happenings
at the Houska cemetery in Richland
township. For more than a week
folks living near that burying ground
have been seeing things that have
aroused all the superstitious spirit in
the community. The Houska ghost
is supposed to be carrying around a
large lantern with a strong light,
but some claim that when anyone
approaches, the light disappears in
the air. Although three automobile
loads of men from here spent the
greater part of a moonlight night
camping in the cemetery recently, no
discoveries were made that explain
the manifestations.
