UNIFORM TEACHERS?'
by NO MEANS SAY
THEIR CHAMPIONS
Women Instructors Do Not
Dress Immodestly and Are
Among the Finest" Ad-
mirers Declare.

philadelphia public school teachers are
safe sane and sensible. Their dress is
far from being immodest. is becoming
and appropriate and as body the teach
ers are among the finest. The plan to
put high school teachers in uniform, as
suggested by President Charles E. Tay-
lor, president of the Newark Board of
Education. will never meet with favor
In this city,
Thesforegoing seems TO be the consensus
OF opinion as expressed today by persons
familiar with Philadelphia schools. All
agree there may be exception, and say
IN a large body of several thousand teach
ers few, a very few, may be careless
about their dress
Mr.. Taylor declared the modern teach
sr's, and especially the high school teach
er's dress was extremely extravagant and
immodest. He suggested they be com
pelled to wear a uniform.
THE uniform plan may go in Newark,
but It will never succeed here" That
Is what the teachers say.
Mrs. Edwin c. Grice, president of the
Home and School League, laughed when
she heard of Mr.. Taylor's plan. THE
school teachers in this city," she said,
Fare safe, sane and reasonable. They
can be relied upon and know how to
dress. know any number of them per-
aonally, and have come in contact with
thousands. They are remarkable body
of women. Their devotion to school chill
dren is unfaltering; they work with un-
bring energy, and are deserving OF the
highest commendation. A large majority
are among the finest ever
'NOf course, a few may be careless in
their dress, but you will find that among
the most fashionable women of today"
Miss Katharine e. Puncheon, principal
Of the High School for Girls, said It is
every womans duty to look her best
and she sees no reason why teachers who
have been. blessed with grace and good
looks should try to disguise themselves in
an ugly uniform
"Teachers today" she said, CONSIDER
themselves as business women. A great
part of the teachers work is done through
individuality. We all know that indi-
viduality is great asset, and 1t would
be lost to a certain extent IL the teacher
had to don a uniform.
THE teacher knows she will influence
her pupils; she also knows that she is

CHILDREN'S CORNER R
Mr.. Rooster's Ambition

MFR. BILLY ROOSTER lived in a
1fl sordid little chicken-yard on the
edge of a dirty alley. Not a very nice
place to spend ones existence, you
think? Surely not. But, fortunately,
Mr.. Rooster was very cheerful roos
ter. and he felt it to be his roosterly
duty to crow just as diligently in his
ugly surroundings as in pleasanter
quarters. So he crowed and crowed
and the neighbors thought and thought
many things which 1 don't intend to,
tell you about!
Then, one fine morning, Mr.. Billy
Rooster got ambition. What is ambi-
tion, you ask? Well ambition is diff
1erent from-measles, say, in several,
ways. For instance, you can have 1t
many times, Measles and chicken-poX
have one redeeming feature, you have
them once and you're through--at
least you're supposed TO be through.
But ambition you can have and get
over. and have and get over, and so
on till you're dead maybe. Anyway,
you're never sure when you may have
\ new attack. But what is ambition
well, it's what poor Mr.. Billy Rooster
got; you hear the story and youth
know what II is then perhaps better
than can explain 1t to you.
This is the way 1t all happened.

As To Mr.. MaCKinney.

The meetings of the past week in
the Baptist church have been true
to the advertising, t'To Help
People" Inspirational, educational,
spiritual, and intensely interesting is
the verdict of those who attend.
Unlike many evangelists who are
cratic and fanatical, Mr.. MacKinney
is sound, sane and sensible. He is
very practical, appealing to the in
tellect and conscience, and he makes
people feel that he is a brother
pleading for their own highest in
terests.
A number of people have already
made decision for the christian
life, and it is confidently expected
that others will do so.
The meetings are enlivened by
special singing, solos, duets, quartets
and choruses. enjoyed by the audi
ences who gather nightly. All who
come will receive a cordial welcome.
Come and enjoy and get profit from
the meetings. ***

Burton Ladies' Aid Meets at ThOmp-
son Stoney's.

On Thursday. Dec. 10, the Ladies
Aid met at Thompson Stoney's and
despite the bad road and the cold
there were 81 members and visitors
present.
Mr.. Sroney has just built a beauti-
full new house-large convenient and
handsome-both inside and out.
Mrs. Stoney is famous for her excell-
ent cooking and the dinner last Thurs
day, was certainly most delicious and
bountiful. The ladies spent the time
tying comforters and the men visited.
Those present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Schaal, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louie Keehner and Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Reed. Williams, Flesch,
Patcle, Johnson, Reed, Pauley, Lem

promise even though the roads and
weather were disagreeable, and they
felt we'll repaid for the trip. n.

MANY CASES DECIDED
BY SUPREME court
Several Were Appeals From
Grant Circuit Court.
One Of Local Interest Was a Highway
Case Involving the Town of
Liberty--Town Wins.

During the recent term of the SUI
preme court several cases were de-
cided that went up from Grant county.
Some of these were of general in
terest, as they affected public affairs.
Among those that involved the
public was one that had it's inception
in the town of Liberty, over high
way that was laid out by the town
board. 1t seems that after the road
was laid out, Charles Vaughan
brought suit on the ground that the
action of the town board was not in
strict and technical compliance with
the law.
Circuit court sustained the action
of the town board, and the supreme
tribunal sustained the decision of the
lower court. Meyer & Burgess ap-
peared for the township Of Liberty.
In the case of Richard Morrow VS..
Maggie M. Williams, ct al, the de-
cision of the lower court was sustain
ed. This was a case for the specific
performance of the terms of con
tract, and for the construction of the
meaning of the contract. 1t was
claimed that the written document
failed to specify clearly whether GER
tain property consisted of four village
"lots' or four village blocks In
circuit court it was held that the
meaning was "blocks, - and the upper
court sustained the point, Mrs. M.
Williams winning. Brown, Brennan
q Carthew represented the winner.
Albert A. Rayborn sued the Galena
Iron Works for damages because of
personal injuries. One of the points
of the defense was that the plaintiff
had signed release to the company.
In the lower court it was held that
this release was final and that it
closed the case. The supreme court
confirmed the findings of the circuit
court.
James Govier, of Patch Grove,
brought action on the contract against
Fred l.. Brechler and Peter Boebel,
of Fennimore. The amount involved
was about So, 900, and it bad to do
with a land trade. In the lower
court the defendant won, but in the
supreme court the judgment was re-
versed.

FAT STOCK SHIPMENTS
ARE RUNNING NORMAL
Grant County Helps to Fight
Meat Shortage.
Last Week Saw Thirty-nine Carloads
Go to Market; This Week the
Record Keeps Up.

If other sections of this county
were as enterprising as is Grant
county in the matter of producing
beef, mutton and pork for the market,
there would be no further complaint
of shortage of meat. Since the
stock yards opened in Chicago, Grant
county has been heavy patron, not
alone for fat stock, but for feeders
to bring home.
Last week was above an average
for the shipping season; there were
sent to market from Lancaster sta
tion no less than 80 carloads. Last
Thursday was the largest day of the
week, with Ia cars. ST.
On Monday of this week the game
started off with 9 carloads. On
Tuesday three cars of sheep, three
cars of swine and two of cattle went
out. Today, Wednesday, is also
stock day and farmers are coming to
town with their offerings.
Surely Old Grant is doing her part
to solve the meat and bread problem,

ley's childhood was struggle for the
necessities of life and entailed the
most rigid economy. developing an
other trait of his character-a highly
commendable one, and one which
helped him on the road to success.
From New York the family moved
to Galena, H., where MIR. BARLEY
secured employment as water boy on
steamboat, on the Mississippi running
from Galena to st. Paul. From Ga
lena they moved to Patch Grove in
the year 1853, and he has been a
citizen of Grant county ever since.
There is no one whose memory of the
events of the last go years, affecting
his country, state, county and COM
munity. was so keen and reliable.
He knew personally most of the
pioneers of West Grant county, and
he could relate in an inimitable way
stories of Uncle Nose Hicklin, Jared
Warner, Ira BrunsOn and others of
that hardy school, and he had a pro-
found respect for their achievements
in subduing the wilderness.
His early boyhood was spent in
work on the farm in summer and GO
ing to school in winter. He was
bright and Industrious and became a
good scholar. When the civil war
broke out he shouldered arms in de-
Tense of his country, enlisting in
Milwaukee on Sept. 10. 1861. His
son Mort was married on that same
day So years later, and Mr.. BARLEY
considered it curious coincidence.
His regiment was the 9Th Missouri
cavalry and was for a time part OF
Gen. John G. Fremont's body guard.
The regiment served with distinction
in the southwest, under Gen. Curtis,
taking an active part in the campaign
against the Confederate Gen. Price,
and on March 9Th, 7th and 9Th, 1862,
was engaged in the severe battle of
Pea Ridge. 1t marched thence down
the river to Helena, Arkansas, where
the regiment arrived in July. 1862
and here Mr.. BARLEY was taken Sc
verely i'll as the result of an injury
received in the battle of Pea Ridge,
and which finally occasioned his hon.
orable discharge at ST. Louis soon
after.
After his return from the army Mr..
BARLEY was for three years engaged
in farming, following which he enter
ed the Patch Grove Academy, where
he was a student for three years in
preparation for the profession of teach
ing. For 20 years he continued to be
one of the leading instructors in this
part of the state, and for II years
was principal of the school in Bloom
