SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS

There is excuse for some eXpres- sion of sentiment because of the fact that Belgium, now lying pros trate, originated the idea of educat- ing children to thrift by the intro ductton of a savings bank system into it's school, particularly at time when the United Stotes bureau of education is properly drawing sat isfaction from the spread Of Belgium's idea on this side of the Atlantic, says an Eastern exchange. From a report just issued by this bureau it appears that 217,0O0 Am erican pupils now have on deposit S1,5OO,0OO In school saving banks. In the United States tECSe insttu- tions found their foothold through the activity of native of Belgium in Long Island City, \. '. Since then the system has spread over the Empire state, and it's school savings banks are said to be the most sue cessful in the country. The system prospers, however, iu Pittsburgh and other Pennsylvania communities, in New Jersey and elsewhere In Grand Rapids, Mich, for instance, the pu- pills have deposited since the eS- tablishment of the school banks S75,- OOO. and have drawn out only $1O,- O0O.
 The bulletin of the bureau re commends that ttere be instituted a working arrangement between the school and the postal savings syS- tem. Very often, perhaps usually it is now the case that the school savings are deposited in private in stitutions. The postal savings banks now receive deposits from all over ten years. The school savings banks by beginning with children when they are younger, prepare them for the thrift which enables them ro be patrons of regular banks lat ar on. Experience has taught teach CTS and other observers that the saving habit can be formed as easi- lv and as surely es the spending habit and that when once the ehiI- dren realize that they arc accumulat ing money it becomes q pleasure ra.he- than a sacrifice 10 them to lut tteir pennies in the school say tngs bank.
 Hand In hand with the encourag- ment of thrift among the school children should unquestionably go enlightening education as to the real value and proper purpose of saving. We believe that the childre are being taught to place money-get' ting in it's right relation to other pursuits, and money possession in it's right relation to other require ments It is of importance to the nation that it's children shall be industrious, frugal, thrifty, pro yjdeut; they can be all of these and still be free from avaricious- ness, greediness, sordidness and sell fishness. What the nation wants IS well-bred and well-traiEed childreT that it may be blessed with we'll rounded and righteous and indepen- dent citizenry.

Big Lot Sale

The sale of lots Tuesday in
Brunswick on the addition at the
wet end of the city under the
immediate management of C.
+. Lamkin and Louis Merrill for
the Lincoln Townsite Company
was a great success. Lots sold
from $40 to $137.5O. Many bid
in two lots, the greatest number
purchased by any one being ten
by VIM. Callahan. He was also
fortunate in drawing the free
lot. The $500 in gold was also
given away. The twin auc-
tioneers drew many who desired
to Witness the novelty. not to in
vest, but some who come out Of
curiosity become owners of lots.
There were at one time on the
ground as many as 800 people.
The addition is on fine land, well
lccaked and lots sold cheap. We
congratulate Lamkin & Merrill
on the profitable outcome of
their venture.

rack, Moberly, Sunday, took
pace tho not exactly as adver-
'tised, The so mile race was re-
dpced to 25 miles and one or two
cf the shorter races were reduc-
ed in miles. While the track
Was not in good condition and
the the dust at the southwest
turn the very worst the races
proved interesting to most of the
100 on the grounds. The 25
mile race was good, considering
the IL mile track, the spongy
and dusty condition and the fur
ther fact that the track was not
built for automobile races. VOL
ter won the 25 mile race in a
Peterson special, a Buick second.
There were two fine racing cars
which started, stopped and did
not go again. Fastest time 73
miles an hour, the 25 mile race
won in 81 minutes.

Clean Up Day"

To the end that the environ
ments of the scnool may be as
attractive and healthful as pos
sible and that the school life be
physically and morally pleasing
it is highly necessary that school
house and grounds and all school
conveniences be kept neat and
clean. This is necessary for the
well being of the children and
teacher. Our surroundings have
much to do with the forming of
character. The best work is done
where conditions are satisfactory
and the outlook is pleasing. No
reasonable effort or expense
should be spared to make the
school home-like, attractive and
pleasing. For some years it has
been customary to recommend a
general cleanup day and to urge
its observance. In compliance
with this custom | suggest Sat-
urday, September the 4th. 1915,
as clean up day and urge its OBJ
servance, and urgently request
the patrons, directors, teachers
and pupils of each district to as
semble at the school and make the
buildings and grounds sanitary
and attractive to the end that
physical and ethical betterment
may result. Make free use of
paint, calcimine, whitewash,
broom and scrub brush. Let this
meeting be for the social uplift
as well as for service.
Yours Truly,

State Supt. of Public Schools.

The demand last week at Kan

preferably of the lighter class.
The Drover's Journal reporter
talked to several Charlton county
buyers and says:
F. E. Heiman of Charlton
county, No., who bought stockers
remarked that che oldest inhabi-

than his section of the state is
now enjoying, This grass will
furnish good grazing till late in
the winter. Farmers are all well
supplied with forage feed to take
care of their stock after they are
removed from the blue grass.
George Jacoby near Glasgow,
Mo-, was in this week buying
stockers. Mr.. Jacoby reported
some very good corn in his
neighborhood, and on the whole
a larger amount of this grain
than a year ago. Grass and for
age feed is also very abundant
there.
L. H. Herring near Forest
Green, Mo-, bought stockers.
Mr.. Herring reported blue grass
pastures good and a large amount
of rough feed on hand.

Our Preparedness

The U S. army has exactly
73O field guns, all sizes obsolete
and modern, the largest 6 inch.
In one fortress in Russia over
400 guns were lost, over half of
the total in the U. S. France re-
quires from 100 to $50 field guns
for every mile of trench she is
holding. They are modern, too.
The United States could hold
from four to seven miles of this
line, maybe, for some of the
guns we have are so old they
have quit making ammunition for
them. While the German use 16

is the largest we have. Rather
