WORK AMONG HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS
Supt. Kelly and Staff of Teachers
Doing Vocational Work-A
Good Plan.

Superintendent Kelly and his
corps of teachers of the high schoo
have been doing considerable voca-
tional work among the students dur
ing the past months. Especially is
this work helpful with the members
of the graduating class.
For those who are expecting to
attend college after graduation from
the high school, it is urged upon
them to make their higher educa-
tion vocational-in other words to
have a goal in view. Aimless edu-
cation is not conceded to have a
good effect upon any young man or
woman who is to be a useful member
of society, and the teachers aid each
young person leaving high school
this year to make up his mind what
vocation he wishes to follow. For
those who will GO to work at once
in the matter of self support, there
are the avenues of teaching, the var
ious occupations in dry goods stores,
millinery establishments, shops, Of
fees, etc. Lists have been posted
for some time upon the high school
bulletin board and any student at
tracted by certain line of work
named, is invited to consult with
some teacher in that regard. For
those who will choose occupations
which require some training there
are under the head of teaching the
various sub-heads of kindergarten
teaching, the teaching music, Ian
domestic science, manual
training, organized play upon play
etc,
Practically every field Is open to
women in America and aIaong the

TO Make TOUR OF
HAMILTON COUNTY
Members of the Agricultural Staff Of
State College Here on
June 49,,

AS has been the custom for the
past two years, the department Of
agricultural extension of the state
college at Ames will devote the en-.
tire month of June to study Of the
methods practiced on Iowa farms
Experts along the lines of soils and
farm crops, animal husbandry, agri.
cultural engineering and home econ
omics will make up the Ames party
that will tour Hamilton county on
June 18th.
About eight stops will be made
during the day, each on farm on
which one or more of the above sub
jects will be taken up and discus
sed. Especially is it desirable to
notice the methods used on these
farms and the results obtained.
Four or five talks will be made
during the day by the home econom-
les lady to the ladies. Last year in
one county $50 men and women
were present at the meetings and
most of them toured the whole coun-
ty, starting early in the morning
and finishing about 6 o'clock. 1t is
hoped that farmers and business
men who have cars will plan to join
the tour early, bringing as many of
their families or neighbors as possi-
BILE.
Arrangements are being made by
a local committee for the farms on
which stops will be made and the
route that will be followed. 1t is
planned to have big picnic dinner
at noon on some we'll located farm
which will add to the pleasure of
the occasion. Make your plans now.
1t will be the big day in the county
this year. Further details will be
published as they are worked out by
the committees.

Mrs. William Allinson, one of thu
greatly respected and oldest resi-
dents of Williams, was found deai
yesterday morning in a cistern neal
her home about Z o'clock. Mrs. Al.
linson was the widow of William AL
linson, an old soldier and one of the
Oldest settlers of Williams.
Several years ago Mrs. Allinson's
mind became unbalanced, necessitat-
ling her removal to sanitarium
where she was cared for for some
time. Later she improved so much
that she came home and lived alone
in her home town. A short time ago,
she had a very slight stroke of par
alysis, falling from the chair in
which she was sitting and it was no.
ticed that her mental condition since
that time was not the best. A COM
panion was engaged to stay in the
home with her and last night the

linson lay down upon her bed for
the night without removing her
clothing. To her remonstrances,
Mrs. Allinson replied that she did
not wish to undress, so the compan-
ion or nurse went to sleep thinking
that it would be impossible for the
patient to leave the house without
her knowledge.
Awakening yesterday at o'clock
she arose and went to call her pa
tient who was not in her room or to
be found in the house. One of Mrs.
Allinson's sons who lives in the
town was summoned and began al
search of the premises. Noticing
the lid of the cistern off he went to

what improvements had been COM

have been trimmed up and all rub

been removed. 1t is the intention OF
the commissioners in the near fut-

tables in the park which will be OF
so substantial a nature that they
may not be torn apart and carried
away or wantonly destroyed.

METHOD|STS FORBIDDEN
TO WE'D DIVORCEE

AdmonishiBg the members of the
Methodist ministers association that
they must interpret strictly the laws
of the church forbidding its ministers
to solemnize marriages of divorced
persons, Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes
emphasized the fact that the ruling
of the Methodist bishops, made in
1905, was e. law and not merely a mat
ter of advice.
This ruling OF the Lishops," declar-
ed Bishop Hughes, was confirmed by
the general conference OF the cnurc.
in 1908 OH recommendation of the
committee on judiciary. This SO fixes
the matter as to MAKE the marriage
by any Methodist minister OF persons
not divorced on scriptural, or what
would be called statutory grounds in
civil law, direct violation Of the
plain law of the church.
