L. $. Conn, president of the Wayne

relic Of the ancient days on the farm in
the one-room school house We have
discarded the fail, the oxen, the stage
coach and lot of other things. but we
retain this relic. We are marSing time
educationally In the rural districts. we
are no further in our one-ruom rural
school than we would be in the physical
environment Of the farm If we should go
back to the reap hook and fail"
He advocated that each county super
intendent should be given enough compe-
tent assistance so that he could visit
each district In his county each year and
there organize social communities with
the school house as the social center,
where matters of rural education and
other rural problems could be discussed.

not afford better sch ols," he said. There
Is nothing to that. In eastern Nebraska

BIG IRRIGATION SUIT
HAS BEEN CONTINUED
CFrom a Staff Correspondent.)

LINCOLN. Sept. 9.-(Special.)- Attor-
ney General Reed has received a letter
from Attorney General Farra of Colorado,
announcing that the big irrigation suit
between Wyoming and Colorado, to
which Nebraska is a party, will not be
argued in the supreme court in October,
as previously arranged, but will come up
several months later.
Nebraska Is interested because the
headwaters OF the Platte are in other
states, and Colorado claims to have ex-
elusive right TO the water of the stream
because of its origin in that territory,
claiming the right by virtue of the con-
stituti7n of the state when il was ad-
mitted III 1876.
The continuance suits Reed exactly. as
he has to appear in the 2-cent rate case
At Washington in October.

HUNTERS COMPLAIN
OF FEDERAL LAWS
Ban on Duck and snipe Shooting Not
Endorsed Locally.

Hattiesburg nuntsmen are complain
ing of the federal law which places
the ban on duck and snipe shooting
in this section after February 1. In
addition to these birds, others are
protected, but with the exception of
quail, they are the only birds to be
found here at this season.
The federal government, however
has barred this form of sport now and
the ducks are privileged characters
1t is claimed that snipe never reach
this section until after the first of Feb
ruary stay only short time and that
the law effectually forbids their being
killed in this state at all.
The law, passed for the best inter
ests Of the whole people, is being OBJ
served, so far as known, all over this
state, and up to this time no arrest.
for its violation have been reported
in this section.
