STATE TEACHERS.
Mexico WOman's Impressions of the
Great X. G. Meet.

President ]. w. Million of Hardin
College, Superintendent D. E. Tugel
of the Vandalia schools and Miss ia
nette White of the Martinsburg
schools were appointed to important
places at the State Teachers Conven-
tion in Kansas City last week. Mr..
Million chosen secretary of the de-
partment of universities; Mr.. Tu-
gel, vice-president of the depart
ment of teachers and education, and
Miss White, secretary of the depart
ment of rural schools. There were
over 5000 teachers in the conven-
ton, and these honors for Audrain
teachers was fine recognition.
The program of this great meeting
was of so large a scope and variety
that one had to pick before going
the particular sessions he wished to
attend. So one necessarily missed
many good things in order to hear
one good thing.
The Thursday afternoon programs
were held at the Northeast High
School, new and wonderfully equip
ped building. l went first to the Pri-
mary Division and heard Miss Cora
English, Supervisor of Kinder
gartens of Kansas City, tell of the
relation between the Kindergarten
and Primary and how it may be
best gained. She stated that the
kindergarten, while everything is
made mere play to the child, forms
1 basis for the real primary work
which follows. 1t advances the
child's standing at the first and
means much time and labor saved
for teacher and child the first three
years of school.
Miss Fannie Griffith, Primary
Supervisor, then gave an inspiring
talk on the same subject but from
the standpoint of the Primary. She
said the Kindergarten work was OF
far-reaching benefit and meant a
higher grade of work for the first
| grades. Should Miss Mamie Wright
have heard this she would spend the
next two decades urging a Kinder
garten department in our schools
1t would mean High School at an ear
lier age.
Leaving this room we hurried to
the Arts and Science room. was
particularly interested in that de-
partment for / saw work of pupils
and designers that was practical
Mrs. H, A. Burger of the Burger
Engraving Co., Kansas City. gave a
spicy talk on the commercial value
of Art in advertising and had the
work there to show it. She claims
that the art taught in many of oul
schools is of no use because of it;
aimlessness. Show a boy the pur
pose of his design and it becomes ,
pleasure as well as a useful thing
She showed us some surprising
pieces designed by elementary pupils

SPURT IN COTTON IS
 TRICK OF SPECULATORS
PROGRESSIVE FARMER SAYS GROWERS SHOULD NOT
 BE FOOLED.

If anyone wishes a concrete illus
 tration of the drafts the European war makes on Americas food supply, just let him compare food exports for
 the eight months ending March 1, 1914, as compared with exports for
 the eight months ending March 1, 1915, says the Progressive Farmer. One finds that while Europe in the eight months ending March 1, 1915,
 as compared with the eight months a year previous, increased her demand for corn from 5,000,000 to 23,000,000 bushels, her demand for wheat from 71 100000 to 192,000,000 bushels, and her demand for beef, fresh and can ned, from 60,000,000 pounds to 105,- 000, 900 pounds, she decreased her de-
 mand for cotton from 1881 ,257 to B. GOT 226 bales. And in the face of this
 greatly decreased cotton demand-in spite of the fact that prices are cut in two while food prices are almost doubled-we have the greatest cotton production in the history of the hu- man race.
 Or to look at the matter in yet an
 other way, Europe during the latter period of eight months increased her payments for food stuffs from $132,- 0OO,0 ,000 to $3SS, 100000 and decreased
 her cotton bill from $498,000,000 to $243, 100000. In other words, she paid out almost three times as much for food and less than half as much
 for cotton, leaving us also with a rec
 ord-breaking surplus to carry over and be added to our next falls crop In the face of facts such as these what shall we say of the farmer who lets himself be fooled by the present little upward spurt in cotton prices
 trick of the specuiators, it would seem, to secure another big acreage? Who will bite at the bait?

BERRY ACREAGE LARGER
BUMPER CROP WILL BE SHIP PED FROM WEST ARKAN- SAS TOWNS.

Fort Smith, April 12.-Reports from the chief strawberry shipping towns in Western Arkansas north of Fort Smith indicate the coming crop will be one of the largest on record. At Rogers the Ozark Fruit Growers Association, which this year will vir- tually ship all of the berries from Western Arkansas, expects $50 cars compared with 250 of last year. Ship ments are expected to begin between May , and 10. The American stand ard full quart cups will be chiefly used in packing. There are many new beds in the Rogers shipping territory this season.
 Sulphur Springs expects about the same amount of shipment as last year-three. The acreage there has
 not been increased. Springdale ex- poets to ship between 40 and 50 cars,
 compared with 30 last year. The acreage there is estimated to be be- tween 400 and 800 acres. Shipments should begin about May l.
 Crawford county reports decrease of 20 per cent in berry acreage. The plants are in fine shape and the yield will be liberal. Car lot shipments be-
 gin about May and will return at
 75 to 100 cars, compared with l25
 cars last year. The acreage at Car field has been doubled and the sea-
 sons shipments, beginning about May 10. is expected to reach 12 cars, con- pared with five cars last season.
 South of Fort Smith, particularly along the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf
 Railroad. there is tremendous berry acreage. The industry is entirely new
 in this section. Along the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad the acreage has been increased p per
 cent.
 Monet. Mo, expects to ship 70 cars
 this year, compared with 30 last sea
 son. At Neosho the acreage has been increased 25 per cent

THE SCENIC LINE TO THE SAN
 FRANCISCO EXPOSITION.

If you are going to the Panama Pacific Exposition, you will surely want to use the railroad that will per init you to see the most on the way. Lying between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast is stretch of more than two thousand miles of wonderland. All the magnificent sights of Europe do not compare in natural grandeur with the mountain heights, the canon depths, the crags and cataracts, the forest giants, the sweeps of plain and river vistas which unfold in kaleidoscope order before the eyes of the traveller between St. Louis and San Francisco, if he uses the Missouri Pacific, Denver X Rio Grande and Western Pacific.
 TT!s,e trip over these lines is abso- lutely the most picturesque from the Mississippi river to Colorado, across the Rockies and through the Sierra Nevadas to the Pacific coast This IS the route of The Scenic Limited, a fast, all-steel train between St. Louis and San Francisco and the only through train between St. Louis and the Pacific coast.
 Be sure to use The Scenic Limited one way anyway. For complete de scription of train and trip, call upon or write J. w. James, Agent St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern, Conway Ark.

Third, resolve to complain directly to us if anything goes wrong with our service to you. We will be much more interested in hearing about it than any outsider, and it will have our inn mediate attention.
 By acting on these suggestions we will start the season right and help each other to keep right all the way through. We make the very best ice that can be made from pure distilled water from deep wells.
 We will guarantee that you may take 100 pounds of our square ice and it will last longer than anyone's ice in Conway or anywhere else that sim liar ice it not made on a compression machine. If you don't believe this take 100 pounds of the same and 100 pounds of the II inch ice and put them side by side in the sun and if our proposition is not proven I will make you present of one months ice free
The log cabin Democrat., 1915-04-12

The time when you should con- mence using our ice regularly is here at last. We are after new high recor for efficiency this season. Here are few things you should do to get the best results from our ice.
 First, look at your refrigerator and see if it leaks. If so repair same at once provided that it is a good re- frigerator and large enough to take care of your needs. If you found it too small last season it will be a good investment to get one that is not too small and has the capacity to be a real saver and not an ice-eating ag- gravation.
 Second, resolve to begin the season with our coupon book and to continue to use it as long as you use ice. This book will save you quite a good deal of worry. It cannot be lost easily and yo uhave the change all the time. AL ways buy the book that covers your usual taking.
