Teachers Entertain


The teachers entertainment at
the school house Monday night
was well attended, the address
Of Prof. Phillips was excellent,
and the reading and exercises of
the teachers were good.
Prof. Phillips address was for
the purpose of showing the cor
respondence in the advancement
of pedagogy and that all lines of
industry. particularly in agricuI-
ture, show how movements
from crude methods in one had
it's counterpart in the movements
from crude methods in the other.
The address all around was

roundly applauded when he had
concluded.
The readings of Mrs. Grimm

Misses Herbert and the solo of
Miss Jenkins.

announcement of public sale Of
R. C. Wool.ey,, commonly known
as Cal"
/ And just here we want to call
your attention to the wonderful
circulation and. phenomenal
growth of the Herald, and the
consequent advantages it offers
as Medium for such announce
ments
After cutting off surplus
games and reducing our exchang
list to the minimum. we are
still compelled to print $50 cop
les to meet the requirements of
our subscription list.
The Herald goes to every post.
Office in the county-old and
new, and at all the older postof-
fees it has worked up good lists.
To put it in a nut shell, its coun.
ty circulation is about $50, the
remaining $50 going outside the
county.
But to get back to the sale.
Cal Woo!ley can't lack very
much of being native of Baca
county. His parents came here
twenty, eight years ago, and Cal
since reaching his majority has
dug up what he has right out of
the virgin soil of the Sandy Ar
royo, supplemented of course
with stock, as all good farming
should be.
Some of that stock Mr.. Wool
ley now offers to sell at pub
lie auction; and the very fact
that it is Woolley stock is guar
antee that it is the kird of stock
you want-native and well bred.
The only reason we know
of why that Gurn is on the job,
outside of his being all all-round
good fellow, is that Cal wants to
get all out Of his property there
is in it-and indeed probably
that is reason enough.

GRAIN men IN SESSION
Passage of Federal Laws on Grain
Discussed at Peoria.

Peoria, Oct. IAN address by
Senator L. Y. Sherman, of Illinois,
featured the second days program of
the convention of the grain dealers
national association here today. Sem
ator Sherman was to speak on THE
Limit of Business by the Government"
The closing of markets everywhere
today caused another influx of dele
gates to the convention. A renewal
of the attempt to obtain federal legis-
lation establishing uniform standards
of grain quality and condition was pre-
dicted by Ralph w. Moss, congress-
man from Indiana, in an address to-
day.
Mr.. Moss sponsored a bill which
passed the national house at the last
session and was subsequently reported
to the senate. He said that passage
by the upper house was prevented by
the lateness of the session and he de-
clared his intention of reintroducing
the same measure the opening day of
the next congress. THE bill seeks to
control only the sale of grain when
made, or offered by grade,'' he said.
THE liberty to buy and sell by sam
pie or by type is left unabridged. The
Dill seeks to establish practical CO.
operation between state and nation in
the work of first inspection" Mr.
Moss said farmers, being the poorest
organized of the wealth-producing
classes are entitled to benefits of fed
eral supervision in marketing their
products.

IN TOPEKA
Santa Fe Official Goes to Chicago for
Conference.

F. G. Pettibone of Galveston, vice
president and general manager of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa F'e railway,
passed through Topeka today on his
way to Chicago.
Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, and
other officers, It is believed that the
conference is in regard to the settle
ment of Ardmore disaster claims
President Ripley recently announced
that the railway will assume RESPONSE
bility for the accident, inasmuch as
the gas car which exploded was on
Santa F'e property and that the road
had a moral obligation to do so.
The Santa Fe has already begun
paying claims. General Manager Pet
tibone, the legal department of the
Oklahoma division and other Off
Gals are superintending this work.

LABOR IN NEW ZEALAND.

According to a report from Alfred
A. Winslow, the United States consul
general at Auckland, the department
of labor in New Zealand, since its or
ganization in 1908, has afforded as
sistance to 100, 524 workers with 141, =
346 dependents. The number assisted
during 1914 exceeded those for 1913
by 1870, and the system is very bene-
fetal and popular. And in contem-
plating these figures it must be re-
membered that the entire population
of New Zealand is not much over the
one million mark. Car fare is often
advanced by the labor department to
help a person to get where work can
be had. During 1914 the government
advanced 56,767.72 for that purpose,
of which $4S,416.S1 was refunded.
Also small sums are advanced for
board, medical bills, etc, to tide over
worthy cases The department also
builds, homes for working people
when their net earnings do not ex-
coed SS51.63 per annum, which has
done much to put the laborer in an
independent position and able to take
care of himself. This department.
also publishes a monthly journal that
contains a large amount of useful in
formation for the worker, covering
the cost of living in different locali-
ties, where work is most plentiful
along certain lines, etc. The laboring
mans condition in New Zealand is
probably in advance of that enjoyed
in any other part of the world. He
is protected on all sides, and if he is
any good, can make a fair living and
even own home in a few years.

THE LOVE OF HEALTH.

If any one doubts that this is an
era of health propaganda he must, in
deed, be oblivious of what is going on
about him. Municipal. state and ma
tional agencies are using forces and
funds at their disposal to further the
interests of public hygiene. Educa-
tionaI influences are directing their
energies to the spread of the lessons
of procurable health in public print
and in documents of both official and
unofficial character. Novels and short
stories, the literature of biography
and travel, the platform and even the
pulpit are proclaiming the gospel of
health far and wide. The medical
profession, more enthusiastic if not
more vitality interested than any other
group in the promotion and outcome
of the modern hygienic movement
may we'll stop from time to time to in
quire about the sanity of the methods
of the propaganda. The religious doc
trine of past ages involved the threat
of harm; it inculcated a fear of the
destruction or danger of the law. This
to follow the violation of the law. This
dismal attitude has long since been re-
placed by a religion of love, of uplift
and joyous anticipation In the health
propaganda, likewise, much of the
pessimistic attitude. unconsciously

ENGLISH LABOR PATRIOTIC.

a writer in The New Republic
shows that the English labor troubles
are excusable: 1T is possible to
maintain that labor craftsmanship has
failed to rise to the level of its op-
portunity. From a detached and
phiIosophic, as also from a narrowly

doubt true. Certainly the opportunity
has been unparalleled Never since
the Black Death has the demand for
labor been so great, or have so many
masters been running after one man

way will have to be found to smooth

1t is common talk of every person
who rides over the cobblestones that
this block Of paving is a great blotch

If the whole street cannot be resur-

of about twelve feet wide on sides of
the street car tracks repaved or re-
