might be well to remark that some
pupils are not taught how to keep
their own textbooks neat and

where he noticed the following
questions on the blackboard: AT

series of general search questions
and intended for the pupils of the

add at this point that the teacher
is doing her share toward making
the pupils of this school wide
awake boys and girls.
On Saturday of this week occurs
the second teachers district insti-
tute for the year. This one has
been divided into four divisions in
order to reduce the mileage of
teachers. The divisions will meet
in the school buildings at Avon,

County School Notes.
BY Supt. G. G. Fitss.

Several of our rural schools are
equipped with modern sanitary
heaters and ventilators. Teachers
in these schools should study the
directions for handling these
plants very carefully, so as to get
the best possible results from
them.
The cause of burned out CRATES
in heating stoves usually arises
from the fact that the ashes have
not been regularly removed from
the ashpan.
The school report for the sale of
Red Cross Seals has been forward
ed the Red Cross Commission, and
we hope to be able to announce
the winner of the Red Cross pen
nant next week. The rural school
sold 1872 seals. 1t is hoped that
the other organizations in the
county have succeeded in selling
enough to swell this number to
10000 the amount necessary to Sc
cure the services of Red Cross
visiting nurse. Perkins School
No. 45 sold GA seals. This is the
best record of any school we
know of.
The State Superintendent writes
that applicants without experience
will be admitted to the First
Grade examination in February.
OF course it goes without saying
that successful applicants without
the required six months expert
ence will be eligible only for Sc
cond grade certificates.
The notice Of teachers exNmina-
tions running in all the county pa
pers will be discontinued next
week. Teachers are urged to clip
out this notice aud file it for fu-
ture reference.
Melvin G. Smith, of the Farm
ers Review, in speaking of school
advantages for rural children says
in part: ''Of course the school tax
es will be raised, but the farmer
must expect that just as corn and
wheat and similar things have in
creased in price, so must educa-
tion."
1t is said that the gold mines
have produced more wealth the
last six months than ever before
In q corresponding period Yet
vast as this value is, it is far below
the value of the wealth dug out of
the soil last year.
Senator Thomas Sterling has re-
sorted to a novel scheme for the
distribution of garden seeds allott-
ed him by the Department of Ag-
riculture. Instead of making a |
promiscuous distribution among |
the farmers, as has been the prac-
tice heretofore, he proposes to en-
list the aid of the school teachers
in the state. We hope the teach
ers of Bon Homme County will
co operate heartily with him in |
this matter. The plan is a good |
one and cannot help but prove
benefit to our rural boys and girls. |
The opening exercises should be |
made a regular part of each days
program. They may be varied |
from month to month. The coun-
ty superintendent visited school |
recently where the opening exer-
cises consisted in singing few ia.
vorite school songs, after which
all joined in repeating the Lords
Prayer.
Nearly every person in Bon
Homme County has at some time
during the past few years been re-
quested to contribute something
toward the maintenance of the
Children's Home at Sioux Falls.

LOCAL SPOT COTTON

Twenty-cent spot cotton in Birming-

20-cent mark yesterday afternoon by
a nc advance. This Is the highest
price ever paid for cotton in Birmins-
ham, Even at that rate the staple is
coming in slow. These farmers who
have cotton, despite the attack of the
boil weevil and floods of the early
summer are reluctant to sell because
of the continued advances.
Hides of all kinds advanced for the
second time during the week. This ad-
vance as the other one was for / cent

BIC COTTON BULGE
IN NEW ORLEANS
Cold Weather, Small Esti-
mates and Other Factors
in Market

New Orleans, November 16.-Persistent
buying at times on a large scale, sent
the cotton market to new high records
today, July trading UP to 20.54 cents a
pound and the January option working
up to 1890, or to within 1 point of 500
a bale, the highest prices ever known in
this future market. Spot prices were
lifted 10 points to 1850 for middling,
a new high level. At the best of the day
contracts were SO to 3S points over yes
terdays last quotations, a net rise Of
nearly s. a bale on the most active
months. Toward the close there was
wave Of profit-making and last prices
were "a to 20 points up on the official
tone of barely steady.
The price started in Liverpool and
early prices here were nearly 81 a bale UP.
With several small setbacks under real
ling the market gradually advanced
until, late in the day, 1t was at its high
est. Bullish spot accounts, the con-
tinued cold weather over the belt, bullish
predictions regarding the pending ginning
report, small crop estimates, and cover
ing of related shorts were the factors
that worked for the Improvement.

UNFOUNDED RUMORS
CAUSE WHEAT DROP.
Denials From White House
of RumOrs Comes Too
Late to Change Market

Chicago, November 16.-Apparently UNI
founded assertions that President Wilson
would make recommendations to Cong
ress relative to an embargo on food
stuffs did a good deal today to weaken
the price of wheat. Closing quotations
were heavy at to PIC net decline, with
December at s1.S5A to 1858 and May at
$1.907s to s1911s.
Corn finished 9s@1ac off to 1Aq9sc up;
oats unchanged and provisions varying
from sc loss to a rise of 45c.
Denials said to be from the White
House that the President would favor an
embargo on wheat came too late to act
as a check today on the bears. Besides
the fact that British buyers seemed to
be out of the market and had done moth
ing in the last few days counted Sc
riously against the bulls and SO also did
rumors that much British vessels ton
mage had been switched to Australia and
to India. In this connection, stress was
laid on announcements that the India
government had sanctioned exporting to
England, France and Italy in November,
December and January, 130O0, 000 bushels
of wheat. The result was that an early
bulge in prices was much more than off,
set especially toward the last of the
session when the embargo talk was rife
Willingness that holders evnced to take
profits was a notable fact throughout
the date in the wheat pit even during
the first couple of hours notwithstand-
ing that prices were then on the up
grade. The early strength was chiefly
due to advices that hot winds were dam
aging the crop in southern Argentina
and that yields there were light
Corn finally weakened with wheat For
the greater part of the day, however
the corn market was higher, influenced
by reports that the new corn crop in
Argentina was complete failure. Oats
held within a comparatively narrow
range. Seaboard handlers figure that
oats from the United States can be laid
in London 30 cents bushel cheaper than
shipments from Argentina.
Signs of Belgian relief buying made
provisions average higher. Declines in
the hog market were virtually ignored.

COAL OPERATORS
BREAK CONTRACTS,
is CHARGE MADE
(Continued from Page One,

to that destination though this was one
of two mines under contract to furnish
the utility company with fuel.
Asked by Commissioner C. C. McChord
of the interstate commerce commission,
who is presiding, the reason for this re-
fusal, counsel for the Louisville aud
Nashville answered that no reason was
known, but that it was believed the
operator wished to take advantage Of
the high prices offered on the open
market"
He cited second instance, where a
mine had reported to public utility COM
pany with which it had contracts, that
after meeting a demand for nine cars
daily of fuel coal made by the Louisville
and Nashville, the number Of cars fur
nished him was insufficient to allow him
to fill his contracts.
Records of the railroads was read to
show this mine delivered but three cars
Of fuel coal out of 90 cars offered in a
period of six days during the time 1t
claimed to be unable to supply the utility
company.
These instances were cited, 1t was said,
to show that to some extent, at least
the shortage Of coal in certain sections
of the north was the result of causes
other than the inability of railroads to
furnish sufficient cars to care for the
output of the mines.
Commissioner McChord at this point
demanded that he be furnished with all
records available to the Louisville and
Nashville showing where any operator
had failed to fill his contracts when fur
nished with a supply of cars for that
purpose.
These operators he said ARE con-
stantly coming to the commission asking
for relief of various sorts. Now, II they
are not going to serve the public there
Is a question in my mind as to whether
they deserve or ought to have any re-
lief"
