the lead of their self-seeking boss, Theo-

met in Chicago on Monday and decided
by vote OF 81 to 6 to endorse the candi-

in addition TO the six who voted against
The endorsement there were nine others
who refused to vote at all.
Why should Progressives vote FOR Mr..
Hughes 2 He was nominated by and is
the candidate of the standpat element OF
the Republican party, and though no word
can be said against him personally, he is
a reactionary and is supported by the re-
dictionaries, who are as different from the

FINE RURAL SCHOOL
This One Proves the Value OF
Consolidation System.
OWN VALUABLE BUILDINGS
Dickinson County Has Eight ConsoIi.
dated School Districts and Plan Is
Meeting With Great Success
Fine Exhibits at Fair.

Spirit Lake.-One of the most com
plete school exhibits at the recent
state fair in Des Moines was that OF
the Milford consolidated school dis
trict. The school is housed in $780,
600 building, erected five years ago,
and since that time the supporters OF
the system have succeeded in consol-
idating seven other school districts in
Dickinson county, one for each of the
incorporated towns in the county. No
building has cost less than $4,000,
and they range in cost up to 100000.
In addition the county has two pure
ly rural schools which cost $4,000
and $4,000. Each has a home for
the teachers and the superintendent.
The Milford school Is modern in ev.
cry department Of building and equip
ment, and has what is declared to
be the most beautiful grounds in the
state In reply to the objections rails
ed by those who set up the transporta-
ton problem as insurmountable fig
ures show that the average daily at
tendance from the rural sections has
had a higher percentage than that OF
the pupils in the town. Moreover, the
students who arrive at at the school,
In the wagons in the winter, come in
better condition than those who have
had to walk considerable distances
within the town.
The consolidated school gives an
opportunity to the boys and young
men who otherwise could not attend
any schools.
The school teaches subjects espe-
cially applicable to rural people, and
teaches them in practical way. The
Milford school has an agricultural
plot of five acres for field demonstra-
lions in which the students are taught
soil testing and all manner of agricul-
tural subjects and methods. Six girls
who were enrolled in the classes last
year averaged more than $40 each on
one-tenth of an acre from what they
had grown. The students are regular
ly entered in state and county con-
tests, and get the benefit of this COM
petition in addition to their class
work.
Indoor training includes manual
training for the boys and domestic SCI
ence subjects for the girls, and gym
nasium work for both, the latter sup
plem ented with a full year Of athlet-
ics under the direction Of a $1,000
year coach and trainer.
The teachers at the Milford school
average $40 a month for the grade
school work and SIS month for high
school teachers. The superintendent
is paid $4,000 year.
Sanitation and comfort is big feat
ure of the consolidated school, which
has good lighting, good sewage sys-
TEN, vacuum cleaning appliances and
careful attention to the heating.

MANY FAVOR BIRTH CONTROL
Physicians and Heads of institutions
in Iowa Declare Careful Regula-
tion Is Necessary.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 13.-Repre-
sentative Des MOines physicians and
heads of state institutions under the
jurisdiction of the state board of con-
troll went on record as in favor of
birth control.
1t was declared that careful regu-
lation was necessary, but that the
practice would, in the opinion of those
present at the meeting result in less
crime, disease, social vice and other
evils.
Prof. Clarence Van Epps of the Iowa
State university declared that the
wealthy classes already have knowl-
edge of and practice birth control and
that the same knowledge should be
given poorer classes by the state.
Among those present at the meeting
were:
DR.. Gershon Hill, DR.. J. H. Peck,
Doctor Means, woman physician, all
of Des Moines; DR.. w. P. Crumpacker,
superintendent of the Iowa State Hos
pital for the Insane at Independence;
Dr. NJ. E. White, superintendent of the
Clarinda Insane hospital, and members
of the board Of control.

To Build Model Road.

Waterloo.-G. w. Condor, Omaha,
who was awarded the contract to
build five detached miles of model
road in this county, has started the
work and will endeavor to complete
the task before winter.
The cost will be slightly above S..
900 a mile.
This is an unusual contract in that
the sample stretches of road will be
widely separated. Their object is to
show the people what blessing per-
feet roads are, in the hope that the
taxpayers next year will authorize a
bond issue to cover the graveling Of
the entire county road system of ITO
miles.

CRISIS is IMMINENT IN GREECE,
SAYS DISPATCH.
Premier Offers Resignation, But King
Asks Him to withdraw It-Minis-
try Unable to Remain in Power

Paris, Sept. 13.-king Constantine
of Greece, it is believed, is about to
abdicate.
Abandoned by his premier, AleXan-
der Zaimis, who resigned despite the
mOnarch'S urgent request to remain
facing new cabinet crisis with the
inevitable result Of the return to pow
err of Venizelos and the prO-entente
interventionists, and threatened, final
ly, by revolt which is rapidly spread
ing throughout his kingdom, Constan-
tine summoned Prince George to re-
turn home post haste for a family
conference
The real reason for this hurry call
for his son is, according to dispatches
from Athens, that Constantine will
give up his throne, proclaim Prince
George regent and leave him to work
out the destiny of the Hellenes.
The tender of his resignation by
Premier Zaimis, reported yesterday,
was officially announced. Whether 1t
has been accepted cannot yet be deter
mined absolutely. The strong posi-
bilities are that he is out.
Athens, via London, Sept. 13.-Sev-
eral members of the Zaimis cabinet
called at the palace and insisted it
was impossible for the ministry to re-
main in power. The belief is held in
official circles that cabinet crisis cam
not be avoided.
Premier Zaimis. offered his resigna-
ton to King Constantine. He plead
ed that owing to the constant difficult
ties arising of late, he was unable to
carry out negotiations of the greatest
Importance for Greece, which We're inn
perative at the present moment.
AT the request of the king and on
receiving an expression of confidence
from the representatives of the en-
tente ministers, Premier Zaimis with
drew his resignation.
