KINGS PRAIRIE

The rain last week created quite g
revival. 1t is to be hoped the hot
wave is waning with more frequent
showers.
w. r. Fleming and B. S. Stribling
visited the fiftieth annual encampment
of the G. A. r. at Kansas City last
week and took their places in their re-
spective state troops, Illinois and
Pennsylvania, in the parade. They
report pleasant time.
The annual conference Of the M. P
church convened at Butterfield the
9th of September.
On account of the drouth there will
be great deal of smut on the corn
fodder. Care should be taken in
feeding it out. 1t will surely kill
cattle.
E. R. Stribling, in company with
some others, will hold services at New
Liberty next Sunday, on their way
from conference.
Roger Matthews and Mr.. Curnutt
held sale jointly on what is known
as the Westfall farm, Tuesday. Mr.
Matthews will go to Monett, his wife
will teach the Wheeler school and Mr..
Curnutt will move to Iowa. The sale
was we'll attended.
Allen Jackson and E. R. Stribling
went to Butterfeld Wednesday to at
tend the annual conference of the M.
P. church.
The rag man was on the Prairie
the other day buying up old clothes.
He called on us but we had no rags to
spare. We had on the last suit.
Mrs. Reid's father of North Missouri
is making her a visit. He is eighty
six years old. He made the trip
alone, and is reasonably spry for his
age.
MissBeulah Bennett of Seligman has
been employed to teach the Prairie
school. School opened Monday with
a fair enrolment
Jim Campbell of Monett drove out
to the sale and went over and visited
Mrs. Stribling, who was one of his
old customers.
Miss Grace McClanahan is visiting
Mrs. Alice Jackson.
The lunch given by the ladies and
friends of New Liberty church at the
sale was quite a success and the re-
ceipts were satisfactory. They thank
the people for their liberal patronage.
The chinch bug is multiplying in
millions this dry weather. Better burn
out all the fence lines rubbish anG
destroy their winter hiding places, or
they will raid us next year.
Nix is celebrating his thirty-second
as rural scribe and pencil
pusher The editors all down the line
us, not for what we have
done, but for what we didn't do. You
sec in the old times writing and spell
ling were secondary matter. All
the studies we had were the phonetic
system that was called the long short
hand, that is, long words were spelled
with a few letters. Then, coming
down to about twelve years ago, we
wonder what has become of the scribes |
who were sending in live wires to the !
Times office. One by one we have
watched them disappear. Perhaps,
they have migrated to more congen-
ial cline where they could make a
living some other way. Then we still !,
when we were all invited
to meet at the Times office and had !
a pleasant time and were initiated into
the thirty-third degree of journalism.

We like the attitude our students
manifested when enrolling for the
work. Each seemed willing to adopt
the best classification he could secure,
whether it was just what he wanted
or not. We are doing our best to
help some of the unthinking ones who
failed in something last year. We are
giving them a fighting chance by al
lowing them little more work in
some classes than they are expected
to carry. We hope these are all
good material, and, if they are and
have good material in them, since they
are in deep water they will swim out
now that they have the chance. A
failure this year will be worse for
them than it was before.

Miss Ruth Hobbs is ill at her home
on Fourth street.
The Monett times., 1916-09-08

Among the upper classmen there
seems to be general inclination to-
ward the sciences and the mathemat-
les. This is healthful sign. Those
who expect to enter college should be
especially interested in this phase Of
the work, as most colleges and univer-
sites require the maximum of these
branches that is usually offered in the
high school.

Please do not forget our assembly
and reception Friday morning, and as
you come bring a friend with you.
The Monett times., 1916-09-08

At this time we feel very much
gratifed at the manner in which
things have moved off so far. The
classes are all moving pretty well on
schedule time and the teachers who
were here last year feel that school
has merely reconvened after short
rest.

high school.

Another thing which is Of special
interest to us is knowledge of the
fact that larger number of the class
of 1916 have been certified for en-
trance to higher institutions of learn
ing than has been the case with any
former class. This is encouraging
and we believe that some Of this in
spiration, at least, is result of the
necessity for college training which
was pointed out so many times by
competent men who spoke to the
students last year at assembly hours.

We have not kept an accurate ac-

in high school, but we believe that
more than two hundred have already
made out schedules. They have been
enrolling each day during the week.
The roll is not yet complete, as we
know of others yet to come.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

On Friday morning at assembly
hour, which is 1920, we hope to have
as many of the patrons as possibly
can to come. Heretofore it has been
a custom to hold an annual reception
at the high school in order to give
parents and friends an opportunity to
meet teachers and have general
gathering. We expect the meeting
Friday morning to serve this purpose
and at the same time serve the pur-
rose of our regular assembly. This
is an excellent time for parents, teach
ers and students to meet. It is just
the beginning of the year, when a
meeting and little talk between parent
and teacher may save deal of trou-
BILE later in the year. We shall give
ample time for individual and general
discussion. Mr.. Wilhelm will speak
on some particular topic, or give an
extemporaneous talk, as may seem
best to him. We know that whatever
it is it will be good. we also nave
secured the services of Mr.. II. H.
Koontz, who will speak on the subject,
"The Boy and His Friends" This is
particularly appropriate at the time Of
the year when the boys are quitting
the parental roof and going away to
high school and college. We hope
many of our patrons will show their
loyalty to the school by their presence
and thereby hear these two excellent
talks. Other numbers will be given
by students and former students. We
extend special invitation to the
members of the Board OF Education,
to parents and friends in general and
to the members of the class of '16.

 Sew one edge to the left ledge of the

Fold the strip at the center and fell the remaining edge into place over the seam to form an underlap, and then lap the underfaced edge over the underlap and attach firmly to position at the lower edge.

 The pattern is very simple one. If you will look at the diagram show ing, it laid out on the material, you will notice that the pieces are very easy to recognize. Since the pattern gives the seams as we'll as the basting line, it is necessary only to pin into place, cut along the outside edges of the pattern. then mark all the perfora- tions and the notches. first with chalk, then with tailors tacks to carry them through to the underside. After un- pinning the pattern and laying it aside. you will of course begin the process of making.
