Just how valuable our school is
to our children can be CLEANED

the state of Wisconsin, who, after
an estimate of the official records
on file, at Washington, declares:

$500 yearly for three years, this

The annual class basketball
series at the University will be
started about November 21st, the

sources of much enthusiasm and
the rivalry between the classes is
intense. The final championship

two teams that lead the percent

the preliminaries will not be stag

Wants Out Of Jail,

Because he is a good porch
climber, rife shooter, and has 9th
or marked accomplishments, Am.
andus kessler wants to get out of
jail at Esston, Pa, and become a
tighter for Uncle Sam in the
ranks of the United States Marine
Corps, according to an appealing
letter addressed to the Marine re-
cruiting station in that city.
Amandus wrote several pages
IN his patriotic outburst, and
promised to use his influence with
his fellow prisoners to awaken
them to the call of the flag, if the
Marines only would come and get
him out.
Although the young man claims
to be a good 'helthy feller," un-
fortunately his morals are not in
the same furnishing condition, SO
Amandus and his pals must lam
guish in prison while the Marine
Corps remains heartless but I'M

Mrs. Q. $ Taylor and Mrs.
Riggs have this week completed
their arrangements In opening up
their new short order and
oyster house in the Maxfeld build
ing on Bridge street. They are
fixing the building up in good
shape, and everything will be
found f~rst-class. They will serve
short orders or oysters any time
of day or night, and in addition
to this they are going to make a
specially of fancy Sunday and
holiday dinners. In addition to
this line of business they are adj
ding a candy machine, and will
make a large assortment of home,

Saved Divorce.

A domestic tragedy that might
have led to the divorce court was
narrowly averted when a rural
visitor to the Riverside Fair was
saved by the diplomacy of a Unit
ed States Marine at Los Angeles
recently.
Uncle Josh had left his wife
somewhere in the safe and sane
"Stock Exhibit" and wandered in
TO the the forbidden portals of a
"Hoochy -Coochy" sideshow.
"Offcer," exclaimed the irate
lady, approaching Kern, "see if
there amt an old fool in there

Unrutled by being mistaken
for a policeman, the Marine enter.

Ten minutes later the wrathfu
lady discovered her husband in
vestigating the merits of a cream
separator.

Defeated by One Vote.

FL. G. Paulson WAS over from
the Milo country Tuesday. Mr..
Paulson was defeated for County
Commissioner by one vote at the
election this year, which leaves at
least one.third of the county with
out any representation on the
Board of Commissioners, and
without a single officer of any
kind at the county seat.
Mr.. Paulson would have made
an excellent official for the entire
county, aud especially in looking
after the interests of the taxpay-
ers. He is a man with excellent
judgement and is financially able
to have given most of his time to
look after the affairs of the coun-

days at school add $4,000 to the
income for life, Their each day
spent in the schoolroom is worth
just 1902 to the boy or girl who
spends it there"
Mr.. Cary's statement tells but
one side of the story, too-the
money side. Behind this can be
glimpsed improved standards of
living, more intelligent and pro-
gressive communities, a higher So
cial existence and a stronger ma
tional life.-Ex.

Mondell Floor Leader.

With the control of the House
of Representatives passing to the
Republicans in the next congress,
Congressman Mondell is being
mentioned in connection with i'm
portant positions to be filled when
the reorganization of the lower
branch of congress is effected,
With the election of Mann as
speaker, Mr.. Mondell can be made
Republican floor leader if he will
accept the place. Unless he can
e an opportunity for greater ser-
vice to his state, however, Mr..
Mondell will probably decline a
position of marked honor if it
carries with it duties to detract
from his duties for his state, as
the place of floor leader might
prove. With some opposition ex-
pressed against Mann as speaker,
party leaders here are quite nat
urally suggesting Mondell as the
man for the place if Mr.. Mann
cannot be elected. The Wyoming
congressman is one of the best
mixers in either house, and in
spite of his caustic criticisms is
we'll liked by Democratic mem.
bers. His ability is unquestioned
and his long service and perfect
familiarity with all governmental
matters, his alertness in handling
difficult matters on the floor as
frequently demonstrated, are quail
tiles most essential as floor leader
or speaker. Either of these posi-
tions, however, carry with them
responsibilities calculated to in
t~erfere with Mr.. Mondell's work
for his state, and it is regarded as
! doubtful if he will consent to &C.
cept.
Mr.. Mondell is now one of the
most active of the powerful APP
preparations Committee, serving
as chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the Sundry Civil
bill, the largest and most intricate
appropriation measure congress
has to consider. He believes he
can best serve his state ON THU
committee, and will be loath tc
accept anything that will inter
fere with this service.

ed by the Wyoming Public Health
Association in the race for one of
the national peunants given each
year by the National Association
for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis to the states most
successful in the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas Seals. The Wy

and present indications are that
this state will compare we'll with
others in the sale of the seals in a

EdisOn's Time Card.

Mr.. Edison, the inventor of the
ipcandescent electric lamp has
defined genius as 2 per cent in
spiration and SO per cent perspi-
ration. In his own working rooms
10 New Jersey, Mr.. Edison pun
cbes a time card each day when
he comes and goes, just as any
other employee, and his time card
is the best evidence of his belief
in his definition.
A study of one of Mr.. Edison's
time cards is interesting. This,
his time card of the week ending
August 9th, shows that on We'd
nesday Mr.. Edison did not come
in at all in the morning, for he
was already in, having worked all
night. He left at SIG in the
morning and returned six hours
later punching in" at 2:2O.
Again he worked all night,
leaving the following morning at
Sill after an Is hour stretch of
work. Thus be labored night af-
ter night and at the end of the
week the punching shows a total
of 95 hours and As minutes to his
credit. This time card was Sc
lected at random and does not diff.
fer much from the time card
found in the rack under Mr.. Ed
ison's name at the end of almost
any week.-News Service.

States, and the sort that these peo-
pie really want.
A good deal Of this kind Of pub
licity has been provided in recent
years by the Spanish-American
countries. Not all Of IL has been
most effectively used, however. This
little Bolivian story Is Of the right
sort. II 1t could be placed at the
disposal Of every geography teacher
In the United States, to be read to
the classes; and II like interesting
story Of every other American coun-
try could be provided for similar
use, there would soon be n new tale
to tell Of the American attitude to-
ward our sister republics to the
south. Geography and history ought
to be taught together; to be taught
in such manner as to inspire desire
for more knowledge. In fact, If in
these directions there were more of
reading and more arousal Of inter-
est, less committing and reciting by
rote, it would be real reform.
Will not some Washington teacher
try this Bolivian brochure on a
geography class? 1t seems worth
while.

sENsATIoNALIsMIN THE PULPIT

More and more common are grow
ing admonitions like that of Bishop
Franklin Hamilton, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, to a group of
young ministers:
Every minister should either
preach sensational sermons and Gre
ate a sensation in his church and
town, or get out of business"
Upon Bishop Hamnton's definition
Of Sensational sermons" depends
whether most people would agree
with him. The most sensational ser
mon ever preached, from the stand
point of its far-reaching effects, was
the Sermon on the Mount. The dis
courses of the Rev. William A. Sun
day are sensational enough, though
widely different. Some of the Naza-
rene's methods, in his day, probably
were more sensational than the eff
forts of the most radical evangelists
Of this generation.
Too much smugness in the pulpit
today furnishes the reason why so
many pass the church by. The sit
uation is far different today from
what it was a generation, even ten
years ago. Then church going was
habit, and most persons attended,
irrespective of what the clergyman
said or left unsaid.
This state of affairs has passed.
One may deplore, but must face it.
To meet the demands of today the
church must be helpful. If the min
ister's sermons fail in that, he will
find his congregation drifting away.
Faultfnding with those who do at
tend is not going to bring the errant
ones back. Too many clergymen
realize that individual nagging does
no good, but somehow believe con-
gregational nagging is a good thing.
The men who are preaching help
full sermons generally have their
churches filled. Too frequently they
are regarded as radicals or sensa-
tionalists only by men who pride
themselves on their orthodoxy, and
have little that is vital and inspiring
TO offer.

A REAL GEOGRAPHY LESSON

With the compliments of the
Bolivian legation, The Times re-
ceives a handsomely printed, de-
lightfully illumined, and exeellently
edited brochure on Bolivia. Who
knows anything in particular about
Bolivia? Who believes the country
is SO big that one may travel almost
a thousand miles in a straight line
within it's borders? Or realizes that,
because of it's wide variations in al
titude, it possesses almost every sort
Of climate, vegetation, and produc-
tive possibilities
Every page of this booklet is in
teresting. 1t is the sort of literature
Americans need nowadays. There
is enough of history to give a back
ground, a real impression. 1t is just
the kind Of material that the South
American countries need to bring
before the people Of the United
