When it comes to r9sourcefulneSs,
Ryall's Garage force is certainly
there"
Recently they received a rush Or
der for a Ford car from Dr. w. f.
O'Connor and were unable to obtain
it from the factory at once. But Mr..
Ryall and his competent mechanics
were equal to the occasion and two
of the men were detailed to assem-
BILE a car for the doctor from the
complete stock of parts kept on
hand. 1t took them only a little
over two days to do it and the doc
tor doubtless got a car that was put
together in better shape than it
would have been in the rush of the
factory. The garage still has q
complete stock of parts and could
easily duplicate the feat if occasion
arises.
Incidentally, with the constant sim,
plification of the Ford car, it is eX-
pected to be only a matter of a year
or two before when you order Ford
they will send you the parts in a
sack and you can take them home
and put them together. yourself.

GRIDiRON ENTHUSIAST
WANT GAME FOR LOCAL
HIGHSCHOOL TEAM

The squad of prospective high
school gridiron warriors that Coach
Woodwork is endeavoring to mould
into an efficient football machine,
may not have the opportunity of dis
playing their prowess as pig skin
chasers, according to the present
outlook of the game schedule.
Ten challenges have been issued
to as many different schools and but
one of them has picked up the gaunt-
let. Bloomer has expressed a will
ingness of meeting the local eleven
provided a guarantee of $50 is Civ
Ell, but it is doubtful whether a game
can be arranged with the down
staters in the face of such a condi-
ton.
For the past two weeks a squad
of sixteen candidates have been un-
dergoing a stiff workout in the ex-
pectation of playing a game soon,
SO the athletic management of the
school will renew its efforts in land
ing a game before disbanding the
team.
In the event that a game is played
the probable lineup will be as fol-
lows Sabin C; Portman, rg; Vel
man lg; Portman ri; Reichert In; r.

Oratory will ever have the power OF
casting spell where there are Anglo
Saxon ears. More than million peo'
pie have paid to hear Wiggam lecture,
and if he is spared to live his allotted
term of life, millions more will hear
him. They will hear him whether he
has anything to say or not, for he has
a gifted tongue. But he has much
more; he has a sense of humOr and
more than that he has great common
sense and an unliT.ited fund of 1nfor'
nation. The effect of his lectures is
to stir the people to a new interest ID
human life, health, freedom, opportun
ity, and efficiency. He tells the people
that bottle babies can't make soldiers;
that children with adenoids lose in
terest in their studies; that the di
vorce problem can not be solved IN
the courts; that the nursery is the
foundation of the republic THAT crime,
insanity, imbecility, are the result OF
wrong feeding rather than of wrong
ideas.
Mr.. Wiggam is true orator. His
great purpose is not to paint word pic
lures, but to arouse the people to q
saner method of living. In addition
to his power of srousing the people, he
has a charming manner and delight
full personality and may be ranked as
one of the real great lecturerers o.
America.

a SPECTACULAR FILM

From a spectacular viewpoint it
is one of the biggest pictures we
can hope to see during the current
screen season. The remarkable
wrecking of the stage-coach, which
slips off the roadway and goes tumD-
ling down the side of cliff and
into a stream at the bottom, Is as
full of realism as one of those corpse
revivers of days gone by. The de-
struction of the schooner, with its
smuggled Cinnamon aboard, by the
revenue cutter, is one of those scenes
which makes your breath come fasF."
That's what Peter Pepper, the fam
Gus screen critic, has to say of "Just
Jim,'' that sterling five-reel drama,
which has just been released by the
Universal Film Manufacturing Com
pany. 1t is one of the greatest and
most touching dramas seen on the
screen this year. 1t has the good
old punch in it that makes the kid
in the gallery lean forward and pinch
his pal nervously. There's a lesson
in it too. Harry D. Carey, the hero
of the old melodramatic days, is seen
in the stellar role and he does some
of the finest acting Of his career in
this great picture.
1t will be seen at the Unique
theatre on Monday, Oct. II. Don't
miss it, Admission 10 cents to all.

COUNTY. SCHOOL NEWS :
4 BY COUNTY SUPT, o. E. RICE p
) : : ) : ; &


The law now provides that all
children between seven and fourteen
years of age who have not cornplet-
ed the eighth grade work must en-
ter school during October, or be re-
ported to the Sheriff as delinquent
Teachers should call the attention
of the parents of those children not
now attending regularly.
Principals of graded schools have
received circular from the state
department, dated June 23, 1915
This circular pertains to improve
ments that can be made in the in
dustrial work of the graded schools.
These are suggestions, but it is un-
derstood that they be lived up to,
and it is we'll that plans be formu-
lated at once to carry them out so
that satisfactory showings and re-
ports may be made at the end of the
year.
Care should be exercised by the
principals and teachers to faithfully
administer the course of study the
entire year, to insure the district
from loss of state aid.
September 1st, another circular let
ter was mailed to the school boards
of graded schools, calling attention
to minor necessities that are re-
quired to keep the school work go
ing satisfactorily. 1t calls attention
to janitor supplies, maps, shades,
pencils, whiting materials, paper
towels, dinner pail racks, supple
mentary reading, seat work materials
for young pupils, and advanced grade
reading matter.
The principals should bear in mind
that they will be held responsible in
a large measure for the supervision
and grading of the schools. All cir
culars and suggestions received dur
ing the year should be preserved,
and kept conveniently at hand.
The law granting five dollars per
month to teachers in rural schools,
and who hold first grade certificates,
has been repealed, and in it's stead
a new law. This provides that a
teacher retained a second year, and
whose work is of a high rank, may
receive from the state two dollars
per month extra; if retained a third
year, four dollars, and if for four
or more years, eight dollars per
month additional to what the district
pays.
To merit this increase the follow
ing requirements are made:
1. Be thoroughly prepared to
teach the subjects required.
g School must have the necessary
equipment to enable teacher to do
efficient teaching.
3. Must be professional in their
spirit, and progressive in methods.
4. Teacher must conduct herself
within and without the school in a
manner at all times becoming
teacher.
5. They must show good house
keeping.
1t is hoped that every teacher will
strive hard to fulfill the require
ments necessary to receive this
special aid.
The County School Board Conven-
ton will be held in the new high
school building, Oct. 21, commencing
at ten o'clock.
