SECOND INSPIRATIONAL
TEACHERS INSTITUTE

The second Inspirational Teachers
Institute was held at the Audubon
High School December and 3. The
teachers say this was the "best ever"
that each one gets better. The two
days institute is vvry popular with
the school teachers. Practically all
of the teachers of the county were
present as the schools of the county
were closed for the meeting. No
school officer can pay a teacher for
teaching those days unless he pays
it out of his own pocket. The law
allows two of these institutes year,
and many of the teachers are asking
for the second one, but the County
Superintendent says 1t is out of the
question as we lack funds to meet
the bills. So the one institute is held
at the beginning of the winter term
in order that the teachers may go
back to their schools full of inspira-
ton for their work and that they in
turn may give a renewed enthusiasm
to the large boys and girls who can
not be in school the full year.

YOUNG LADY BADLY
SCALDED BY HOT WATER

Miss Lizzie GUIDE was badly scald-
ed Monday morning at the home OF
Chas. Van Gorder. She had just fin
ished the family washing and was
removing boiler of boiling water
from the stove. In some manner one
of the handles slipped out of her
hand, allowing the boiling soap suds
to pour over her body from her hips
down. She was given immediate at
tention and physician summoned
at once, but her soaked clothing per-
mitted the flesh on her body to be-
come badly scalded. She was taken
to her home at Extra where she is
resting quite comfortably. While
suffering great pain, it is thought
that she will recover. q

Its site probably will become great basin in which to store water in time of floods. Not only this, but il is also planned to conserve such waters as are collected and use it in the production of light and power, heat and for irrigation purposes.
 It is a move in the right direction. A flood is merely power run wild. To harness these waters and turn them to use will undoubtedly mark new epoch in American life. This is a field, however, that it will take q generation in time and millions in money to work out. But it can and must be done.

THE REPORTER sSIDES,TEPS,

In confessing it's inability to advise the farmers relative to the acreage for next years cotton crop the Abi- lene, (TeNas) Reporter shatters one Of the traditions of the craft. z In these latter days when one may take a fairly good typewriter and I few sheets of paper and conduct pref itable farming openticns the Report CTS confession of inability is some < what alarming. It is so easy to farm cu paper that it seems a sad neglect of lone's opportunities to pass the job Up to somebody else.
 However, inasmuch as the Reporter s to assume the responsibility and point the way, declares the Beaumont < (TeNas) Enterprise, which instructs, z as follows:
 Before hitching up old Beck and turning the first furrow we will an- nounce to the class in agriculture that the world will take and pay for only limited quantity of cotton. l! you insist on .aising and selling the world more cotton aha3 t Gegl!J needs, the world will come right back at you with the ultimsdum that you must sell your product at a price ral below that which you could have de lnanded if you had raised only enough cotton to supply the worlds needs You not only lose the profit On what the world would normally consume . but on the excess crop as well.
 Conversely, if you raise little less cotton than tho world actually needs you can demand for it and receive al the traffic will bear.
 The difference between these twt situations is the difference betweel profit and loss.
 To illustrate, if you believe cotto1 ( is due to bring good price neA year, suppose you plant an increasei rcreage Suppose, also, that you neighbor does the same thing, witl the result that the south raises som' thousands of bales more cotton thai the WcrId can assimilate' at a fal' price. As a natural consequence tn price drops, and instead of inducin: the goose to lay an extra golden eg: you have simply chioloformed the olt I..,, sl
 Take the other side of the picture Suppose the acreage is held down t ,a ,,oint that will produce little les cotton than the world needs. Eyel the premier class H agriculture mus real'ize at once that the crop vii bring a maximum p,iae.
 Then why take chance3 Wh fcrsajxe course that Ensures a goot price for cotton for 5ne that is ont. a gamble at best?
 Planting the smaller acreage na ether advans ages besides tnat Of in sfiring a oaximun pfice. Tie farine Sno plants less cotlon will plan 1aole of the otlier things he fJlonl' raise al home. 4 big colon clpp ottel keeps tle Farmer children ou1 . school until late in the bali. With th' smaller crop they get into scheo earlier.
 Southern farmers hays robbed tllemselyey and rheir children b' playing 2 tip that the next crop will

1
 bring a big price. They raise the big crop, which automatically lowers the price. In other words, the farmer bets he will win and then does the
 very thing that will cause him to lcse.
 Tons of paper and seas of ink have been consumed in telling the cotton farmer of the south what he should do, but all of it might be condensed into a few words. If the cotton grower will determ- inc howl much acreage his force can handle properly, and then plant just 9 per cent less than that amount, he will win.
 Let him plant this 9 per cent to cereals or forage crops. Let him de vote the energy that would have been required to cultivate the larger crop, to fruits and vegetables. Let him raise few more hens a few more hogs and a few more COWS.
 If this policy doesn't win out over the gamble that cotton twill bring big price next year," which causes so many farmers to go wrong, then thero is, nothing in human logic or human experience.
 Really, farming on paper would be quite fascinating if it were not so easy.

The compulsory planting of trees in towns and cities is urged by one editor Most small towns have plenty Of trees, but compulsory planting of trees at "bald spots" perhaps wouldn't be a bad thing. There must necessarily be a certain amount oi ccmpulsion in life to get results, ap parently and one way to cover" a town with trees is to enforce theli planting.
