UNITED STATES
COMMISSIONER
Of EDUCATION
DEVOTEs MUCH SPACE TO INDL
VIOUAL REPORT ON THE CITY
SCHOOL SYSTEM OF AROMoRE.
SPLENDID ORGANIZATION.

The annual report for 1914 OF the
United States Commissioner OF Edu-
cation is from the press and the Ard.
moreite is in receipt Of copy OF the
report, The report gives Ardmore a
generous amount OF space which was
prompted by the reputation the Ard
more schools have made. Superin-
,endent Richards has received re,
quests for his course OF study from
scores OF the leading schools in the
county. and his three months promo
ton plan is also much sought after
The fact that these schools are among
the few who are dealt with individu.
ally in the report OF the federal com
missioner, is only another evidence
that the school system here is attract
ing much attention. In his report the
commissioner says:
The superintendent OF schools at
ArdmOre, Oklahoma, has reorganized
the elementary schools of that city
into - terms OF three months each,
so that pupils may be promoted every
three months. According to reports
for that city. a pupil who has complet-
ed the work OF any term is never re-
quired to repeat that work. If pupil
fails in one or two subjects, he is
conditioned on these and allowed TO
four weeks of this time he reviews and
does extra work on the subject in
which he is conditioned. 1t is claimed
that very rarely do pupils fail 10
make up work under this plan. If a
pupil actually fails in his work and
is not promoted, he fails on very
small unit and is not so discouraged
as he would be if he had to take the
entire year over. The plan contem-
plated is TO give four of these y
week terms year, with one week OF
vacation at the close OF each term.
This plan will enable a child to COM
plete an eight-year course in six years.
The results of the plan which was put
into operation only during the last
year. are described by the superin.
tendent as follows:
During the past summer We had
only 10 weeks of school. not COM
pulsory, but optional We found that
more pupils took the work than We
anticipated. The teachers discovered
that the children did better work than
in winter The forenoon was devoted
TO classroom work. and the afternoon
10 laboratory work. physical training.
etc. The experience We have had so
far encourages US TO believe that it is
going TO be a very satisfactory meth
cd OF organization.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS

Evnorts of quicksilver from the 1rpited States for the calendar year 1ot4 are estimated at 33,900 pounds, ar 452 hasks, valued at about $21, ,35O Tn 1913 the exports were 1,14O fiasks, valued at $43.574. The imports en- tered for consumption are estimated for 1914 at 685,604 pounds, or 9,140 aasks. valued at S300,000, against 171 653 pounds valued at $75,361, inn norted in 1913. The imports come mainly from Europe. The largest inn norts of the year were made before the war began, and preliminary figures in- dicate steadily declining imports in the later half of the year. It has been generally understood that the nations at war have not permitted exportation of metals, but it has been reported that two lots of about 1000 flasks each have been received at New York from Italy since the outbreak of the war. Such importations naturally tend to lower domestic profits and may prevent American producers from talk ing full advantage of the rise in price they have been counting upon to offset the long periods of low prices and de- pression through which they have re- gently passed. Of the other European producers Austria is engaged in con- fict and the Idria mines (controlled by the governmenD may be unable to export to this country even through neutral Italian ports. The great Span ish mines of Almaden are controlled by English capital and normally send their metal to London for distribution Whether any large amount of this SUD- ply will be permitted to leave the United Kingdom under present condi- tions remains to be seen. Even if em- bargo upon eXportation is lacking it must be considered that London prices have risen also. that danger to navi- gatiOn Is by no means removed, and that marine insurance must continue to increase costs of transportation Large imports of foreign metal are therefore not expected at the present outlook.

As rule however, the late varietis are prefer able In the south and should be planted about the same time as corn.
 Soy beans are grown either in cul- tVated rows or broadcasted, depend Ing on the purpose for which they are grown The row method is preferable Tn weedy land and usually give lar ger yields of hay and practically al ways of seed. The general practice TOT seed production is the row method oo to AS inches apart. For hay, soil ihg' or green manure a drilled or oroadcasted crop furnishes a finer quality of forage. In rows. from ~ to 3o pounds of seed to the acre are ,equlred; when sown broadcast or drilled, from 60 to 90 pounds.

Do you feel tired, have you a sallow complexion, constipation, headache, bad breath, sleeplessness or cidcles around your eyes? If so, you are un- doubtedly suffering from some liver complaint.
 Perhaps you don't feel very badly now, but delay is dangerous. To al- low your liver to continue out of order is to invite a serious chronic illness.
 Whenever you have the slightest symptoms of liver trouble, stop it im- mediately. You can do it harmlessly and mildly by taking Liv-Ver-Lax, the natural vegetable compound that is replacng calomel everywhere. It has all the effectiveness, not the eff feet of calomel. Insist on getting the original Liv-Ver-Lax, bearing the like ness and signature of L. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfac- tion or money refunded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

How easy it is to mix up the aver age business man was demonstrated the other day when the son of a local merchant leaned against his fathers knee and innocently asked:

 "No, my son, of course today isn't tomorrow" answered the father.
 But you said it was,' continued the son.
 "When did l ever say today was to- morrow?"
 "Yesterday," answered the son.
 "Well, it was; today was tomorrow yesterday, but today is today, just as yesterday was today yesterday, but is yesterday today, and tomorrow will be today tomorrow, which makes today yesterday and tomorrow all at once. Now run along and play" and the father collapsed into his chair with a sigh of relief.

TO REGULATE SALE OF DRUGS

The bill by MT. Steed of Nevada county, introduced in the house We'd nesday for the regulation of the sale of cocaine, opium, heroin and similar drugs, in Nevada, Hampstead, and Howard counties, is very drastic and is patterned in large measure after the ordinance recently passed by the Little Rock City Council. The vali- dity of the Little Rock ordinance was attacked on the ground that the state law did not regulate the sale of any of the drugs except cocaine. However it has been enforced since it's passage by the City council. The Steed bill would remedy all the defects set up in the contention against the city ordi- nance, as it includes the same drugs mentioned in the city ordinance. The drugs placed under the ban could be used only on prescription of reliable physicians. Commensurate penalties for violation are attached.

No man was more pleased with the appearance of the House and Senate chambers at the opening of the For tieth Assembly than exGov. Geo. W. Donaghey. He looked down from one of the galleries at the massive furni- ture, with individual lockers for the members, and even a convenient place for the newspaper reporters, and beamed while he listened to the praise of those about him. He recalled the legislative halls in the old state house and it afforded him much pleasure to hear nestors of the House express ap- preciation of the change. The build ing is now practically completed, and the legislature will in all probability make provisions for the maintenance of the building in the future without assistance from the Capitol Commis- sion.
