What a Bank Account Will Do
For the Young Man

The young man who starts an ac-
count with his home bank, no matter
how small his start, will not only ac-
cumulate money and increase his
credit, but will also build up in force
of character, in energy, in inspiration
and ability to accomplish what he sets
out to do, in capacity to earn money
and command a place with the lead
ers of his community.
At present the FARMERS STATE
BANK is lending substantial support
to many young men and shall be
pleased to extend to others all the
courtesies and help consistent with
safe, sound banking.

Hole They Fix II.
CALL AID If JOB is TOO BIG.

Farmers and City Residents Unite
In Keeping HighwsyO Fit by Doing
Work Themselves - Harmony Be-
tween the Two Brings Good Results.
Macon, Mo.-Macon county is full of
patriotic citizens these days who carry
hoes to do emergency work on the
roads. The hoe. and sometimes
shovel also, is carried behind the motor
car, and whenever the public spirited
citizen runs into q mudhOle or
place which he thinks he can improve
with a little work, he gets out and
does 1t. 1t is considered bad citizen
ship here to pass over mudhole with
out trying to repair 1t.
Farmers used to smile when the
town men talked about working on the
roads, but since they have shown 80
much interest in the matter the farm
ers welcome them In the all important
road work. OF course one man and
one hoe can't do any great amount Of
work, but the man can start on the
Job, and II he finds 1t too big to tackle
he can give the emergency signal with
his motorcar horn, and there are plenty
Of farmers who will respond to his call
and help do the job.
DIR. A. B. Miller, former president of
the Macon Good Roads club, leader of
"The Man With the Hoe" organization
said:
"The biggest thing the town man
with the hoe does on the country road
Is to convince the farmer that he is
really in earnest In this matter of good
road work. When the farmer is salts.

osltion that tends to insure roads that
will be good all year.
1--WE are approaching the era of hard
surface roads. When we get every
body thinking and approving the road
campaign it will be an easy matter to
get the money necessary to carry on
the work. 1t is no uncommon thing in
driving over the country to see a
preacher or a merchant on highway
alone tearing up weeds, shoveling dirt
In mudhole or cleaning out a ditch

unteer workers is bound to result I'm a
perfect highway system. The funda-
mental is to get the people firmly de-
cided on thing and then they will go

QUARANTINE
ON wALToNs HOME WILL Sc
LIFTED IN TWO WEEKS
No New Cases Of infsntiIe Paralysis
Reported--Day Child improves
DaiIy--Mortality Of Disease
Is Low

Health officer II. w. Blair stated
Monday morning that the quarantine
on the home Of DR.. L. b. Walton OF
Gambler, where infantile paralysis
caused the death of a son, Robert,
will probably be lifted after two
weeks. This is the provision Of the
law.
No other cases have developed in
this community, according to the
health officer, who says the remaining
members Of the Walton family exhib-
1t no symptoms Of the disease.
The only other case reported, that
of the three-year-old child of Caleb
Day, Z West Burgess street, this city,
is said to be very satisfactory in con-
dition. The Day child has shown
marked improvement the past week
and will in all probability live.
The mortality in cases Of infantile
paralysis is said to be about 10 per
cent, but the percentage of those who
survive without being crippled in
some manner is much lower than this.

Personality Of Teacher Larg-
est Factor In instruction

The 47th annual session of the
Knox County Teachers institute was
opened Monday morning with 1862
teachers enrolled.
The instructors for the week are
DR.. o. 7. Corson, ex-state school COM
missioner, of Columbus, Supt. P. c..
Zemer of the city schools and Prof.
R. A. Chubb who is in charge of the
music.
Supt. G. M. Layton of Centerburg,
who is president of the Knox County
Teachers association, presided at the
opening session.
The session was opened with de-
votional exercises in charge of Supt.
Zemer.
The musical part of the session was
in charge of Mr.. Chubb, and consisted
of number of songs that were suit
able for the lower grades of the
schools.
Supt Zemer was the first speaker
of the morning, his subject being 'The
Meaning of History" He gave a re-
view of the writer's of history from
early times showing how the view
point of various historians has been
affected by the times in which they
lived. The early writer's lacked the
Christian element, their writings be-
IN cit plU or ~
events usually without any relation
to each other.
We should read and study history
as series of related events growing
out of and leading up to each other.
In order to understand present his
tory we must understand what has
happened before so as to understand
the causes of certain events. Chill
dren cannot understand u. s. history
without knowing something Of gener-
al history, and for this reason, in
many schools, simple general his
tory Is studied in the sixth grade as
a preparation for the work in the next
two grades.
DR.. Corson spoke on "The Largest
Factor in the Improvement of
Schools" He said he had no patience
with the pessimist who thinks that
everything about the schools is
wrong. "The Schools" he said, "are
doing good work, but they ought to be
doing better" He named some fac
tors which have made and are maxi
ing the schools better, among them
being the enactment of state laws,
better chances for preparation of
teachers, and supervision of schools.
Two big problems before the
schools now are the making over of
the course of study and the cause of
retardation of pupils. But none of
these is the most important factor.
The largest factor is the individual
teacher. He spoke of the personal
ity OF the teacher, saying that it is not
the size of the body nor of the mind
but the size of the soul, that goes to
make up the personality.
