ye sterday with her uncle. George Kest-
ing, a we'll known farmer of the Clay
ton vicinity, attended circus when
she witnessed the afternoon perform
|ance of the Hag enbeck-Wallace

deed, will long linger In the memory
of the young girl as, in addition to
the fact that she made her initial ap-
|pearance at the circus, 1t was her
first VISIT to city Of any size; the
first time she ever rode on street
car and the first time she was ever
more than six miles from her home
town, Clayton. Some time ago she
made a trip to Camp Point. o distance
of six miles, and had It not been for
this, the trip. yesterday would have
been her first day away from home.

STOP RIVER WORK
WHEN BELL FAILS
Delay Of Senate In Action on Harbor
Bill Forces This In
activity.

All outside work connected with
the Mississippi river Improvement be-
tween Minneapolis. Mimi, and the
mouth of the Missouri river has
stopped upon the order OF Major G.
NJ. Hoffman, in charge OF the United
States engineers office in Rock Is.
land. When interviewed regarding the
subject, Major Hoffman said:
Eyes, the report is true, and due
to the lowness Of our working funds.
I have been compeNeG to order all
outside operations along the Missis-
sippi river between Minneapolis and
tho mouth Of the Missouri river to
stop.
1--WE have been expecting the river
and harbor bill to pass the senate.
However, up to, this date, it has not
cecn passed, and, Of course, 1t Is up
to US to live within our present means
until our funds are replenished by
the appropriation included in the bill
now before the senate ut Washing
tom"
The order to cease all outside work
along the river will affect eight fleets
stationed along the river at various
points between Minneapolis and A.
ton, III. Large fleets have been work
ing at the following points all dur.
ing the present summer and will, OF
course, In accordance with the new
order, be stopped Indefinitely: Still
water, Mimi: Fountain City, Mimi;
Dubuque, Mobile, Milan, Keokuk,
Quincy and Alton.
The new order goes into effect at
once and will affect many men en-
ployed by the government at various
points along the river. Many Of the
older men, as well as the more valu-
able engineers and assistants will be
retained on the government pay roll
at reduced pay, they accepting offers
to watch the government fleets until
work is again resumed.
The river and harbor bill, which
was passed in the house March 20.
has been laid upon the shelf ever
since, awaiting the action Of the SEN
ate upon the matter. The bill carries
with it an appropriation Of $1,5o0,000
to be used on the upper river district.
On his recent trip with the big
raft. delivered to an Iowa lumber
concern, Captain Winans was not opti-
mistic regarding the passing OF the
harbor bill, saying that the lethargy
Of the bill becoming reality had
practically shut down river activities.

Good Roads, Good Schools.


Hannibal. The rural population is
more willing to support better schools
today than at any previous time. 1t
Is being realized that all educational
activities or agencies must be more or
less correlated, and, more than all
else, that they must be made acCes.
siblc to the children. In many coun.
ties where bad roads prevail, most of
the schools are of the antiquated one
room variety. They are usually To-
Gated along bad roads, which, during
The winter, when the schools are
usually in session, become so nearly
impossible as to make 1t difficult for
the children to reach them. This
condition causes irregular attendance
and restricts the educational oppor-
tunities of the child. Not only this,
but often impedes the economic con.
solidation of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, directed by
competent principal and corps OF
| teachers.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver.
age attendance greater, the efficiency
largely increased and economic con-
solidation made possible. Regular at
tendance ut school means consistent
and regular growth of both school and
pupil, and consolidation of schools
means maximum of efficiency at a
minimum OF cost. II is also notewor.
thy that there Is Il marked tendency
for the consolidated school to become
the social and intellectual center of
the community. Most modern rural
schOolhouses are so constructed as to
serve the community as gathering
places for various kinds of public
meetings, and where vans are used
to convey the children to school dur
ing the day they are frequently
pressed into service to haul the farm
ers and their wives to institute work
lectures or entertainments at the
schoolhouse, The consolidated school,

Company Pleads for a Chance to Con.

souri--Never knowingly
Violated Law.

Jefferson City.-Waivng its right
to appeal to the United States Sub
premc court, the Grayson-McLeod
Lumber company has asked the su.
preme court to rescind its judgment
of custer and to reduce the company's
fine from $4,000 to $4,000. This is
the ninth lumber company to beg for
its corporate existence.
The motion to modify judgment is
based upon the following grounds:
That the property of the company, ex.
cept $4,000 acres of denuded timber
land, was sold to the Graysonia Nash
vile Lumber company on June 10,
1910.
That IL is without money with which
to pay its $4,000 fine.
That the denuded timber land is en-.
numbered to the extent of S125,000
and upon forced sale would not
yield much more than this.
That the company would be unable
to borrow the money with which to
pay the $4,000 fine.
THAT the fine is out of proportion

and packing companies, the Standard
Oil company and International Har.

Mothers are often unconsciously

children, forcing all to eat the same

not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate

urge 1t to take more Of what IL quick

II the child shows q tendency to
