PETTIs TO KEEP JORDAN.

Sedalia, Mo-, March 16.-The Pet
It's County Court, in session here Mon
day, voted TO renew the contract with
Farm Adviser S. M. Jordan for two
years from the expiration of his pres
ent contract, July 1, and decided to
change his title to County agent" to
conform with the designation by the
United States Government. The sal
airy is $4,000 a year.
Petitions signed by a number of
farmers to dispense with the services
of Mr.. Jordan had been presented to
the court. The friends of the new ag-
riculture countered by petitions out
numbering the opponents by more
than three to one and containing the
names of majority of the heaviest
tax payers, most extensive farmers
and almost every bank in the county.
There was no personal objection to
Mr.. Jordan, the opposition arising
from a misunderstanding as to the
cost and purpose of such work.

NEWSPAPERS PLAY I'M
PORTANT PART IN EXAM.

In the recent spring teachers exam
nations in this city and all over Mis-
souri, there were several questions
that could only be answered by intelli-
gent readers of the newspapers. To
those who did not read such publica-
tions regularly these questions were
mores or less of puzzle. According
to County Superintendent of Schools
W. Clyde johnson the reading of
newspapers plays not only an import
ant part in making a teacher efficient
but aids the pupils materially in their
school work.
Mr.. johnson said there never was a
time when capable teachers were more
in demand than today. That the
school boards have learned it is not
matter of cheapness but of efficiency
and they are willing to pay the price
to secure teachers who have the abil-
ity to give highest service.
The fact that so. many Audrain
county schools are becoming accredit-
ed speaks not only for Mr.. Johnson's
ability and effort but that the schools
of the county are securing better in
structors and their ambition to make
their school the best is placing us in
the front as leading educational CEN
ter.

HEALER" EXPOSED HERE
BY LEDGER REPORTER

Schlatter, the alleged healer
who years ago was first shown up in
Mexico by Leigh Mitchell Hodges then
of the Ledger now Of the Philadelphia
North American, has been acting the
hermit for the last seven or eight
years, and now comes forth making
bigger claims than ever. Referring to
his disappearance and temperance,
the Globe-D Democrat says: Schlatter,
the healer, should be pretty well heal
ed by this time.
A dispatch from Cincinnatti, Ohio,
states that man who declares him
self to be the only genuine Francis
Schlatter. "Divine healer" who sew
eraI years ago had nationwide re-
putation as 'Divine Healer" has
made his appearance in Cincinnatti
after having lived in seclusion for a
few years.
Schlatter is So years old. He de-
clared that the man who died several
years ago in Hastings, Neb., was not
Francis Schlatter, but a man who
used his name. Schlatter said he had
lived the life of recluse so as to
give his healing powers a much need
ed rest. He stated that he was ready
to prove all his assertions by giving
demonstration of his healing powers
in CINCINNATI.
When Schlatter visited this city he
was attired'in a flowing robe of pur-
pie and wore a beard. His purpose
seemed to appear as much like the
accepted pictures of Christ as he
could in order to add strength to his
claims as "divine healer" He re-
mained here several weeks and then
departed for new pastures.

amendment was adopted.

ers in Missouri, at the November cleo
ton in 1916, will have an opportunity
to express their views as to whether

Shannon, of Audrain county, voted
against the bill.
The bill of Representative Shannon
of Jasper County to permit women to
be appointed on the police force in
cities having 5000 or more popula-
tion was engrossed in the House.
This is the first time in the history
Of the Missouri Legislature that

He WILL Be CANDIDATE

Washington, D. c., March IT,
"Never heard Of it and don't know
thing about it. Poppycock," said
Speaker Clark Tuesday night, in spik-
ing report that he is candidate for
President in 1916.
Go get my tolls speech and you
will find all | have TO say about it."
added the Missourian. In that speech
in paying his compliments to East
ern editors who attacked him on his
tolls attitude, the Speaker said:
at will surprise these limber-baeked
incense swingers still more TO know
what | have uniformly told those
who have suggested my candidacy in
1916, and it is this:
"If President Wilson makes u sue
cess Of his administration he will
be renominated and reelected in
1916; but if he makes failure, which
God forbid, the nomination will not
be worth having

SOME Of our fellow-citizens who
have never been able to comprehend
the altruism which led us to free the
Island of Cuba and then guarantee
its independence will find some con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the Johnson
Willard prize-fght for the champion
ship is to come off in Havana next
month under the most brilliant con-
ditions and with the full sanction
of Government and society. After
the performance in the ring there will
be six horse-races with the usual
trimmings and later on no doubt,
those speculatively inclined may find
diversion at faro and roulette. Con-
sidering the fact that the ever-faith-
full isle is more accessible than Mex
leo or Nevada, the wonder is that our
sporting population did not long ago
