 ''He, with two other men. escorted the prisoners across open ground un- der heavy fire to a support trench and then returned and reported him self for duty to his company com mander. before his wound had been dressed

MADE HIT WITH KITCHENER
Philadelphia Veteran Told Great Brit.
lsh Soldier a Story He Never
Had Heard Before.

When l called the attention of
General Huidekoper to the fortune
of $S5O,000 which Earl Kitchener
left, he remarked:
eyes, had we adopted the English
system in the United States, Grant
would have been a millionaire and
Sherman, Sheridan and Meade very
rich men,"
Washington would have become
the duke of Yorktown and given an
estate many times the size of Mount
Vernon.
General Huidekoper told me that
when in Cairo a few years ago,
Kitchener entertained him at lunch
con, "Girard" writes in the Phila-
delphia Ledger. "I was impressed
by his cordial manner-indeed, ev-
erything about him was impressive
except his eyes"
The Philadelphia veteran told K.
of K. that Americans had two sto-
ries which they always told about
him. "I'd like to hear Them" said
the hero of Khartum.
Gone was about an eyeglass-'
"Oh, yes" broke in Kitchener, GIVE
heard that n often. What's the
other?"
"While you were in India" said
the man who left an arm at Gettys-
burg, 'you overheard the members
of your staff highly commencing an
officer who had just gone out from
England to join you. They declared
hat he was a blooming fine fellow,
wrereupon you remarked:
COVE always observed that the
men who are blooming fine fellows
are blooming poor officers"
Kitchener had never heard that
story of himself, but he was enor-
mously pleased with the sentiment
it expressed.

SisAL IN

This country promises to become
nor or less Independent of tropical
America in obtaining a supply Of
sisal fiber, if efforts that are now be.
ing made to develop the production
of that commodity in the Philippines
bear fruit. According to j. f.
Boomer, a Manila correspondent OF
the department of commerce, the
project is backed by exporters of the
fiber. 1t has been found that the
sisal plant does very well in the
islands and that the fiber produced
there is of excellent quality. Already
considerable paintings have been
made, especially in the island of
Masbate. Federal agricultural Off.
Gals in the Philippines, Mr.. Boomer
says, are lending their support to the
movement.

NEW USE FOR SUBMARINE.

An American inventor has found
a new use for the busy submarine in
the gathering of shellfish from the
sea bottom. The apparatus most
generally in use at present consists
of a dredge fitted with a rake and a
mesh bag, which trails along the sea
bed and gathers in oysters and other
shellish. The weakness of the sys-
TEN lies in the fact that it brushes
and kills many oysters and soft
shelled CLAIMS. The oyster-gathering
submarine dives to the bottom, rakes
up the oysters by a special device and
automatically washes them and
shoots them through pipes into the
cargo room. The process has been
likened to the reaping of a field of
grain swath by swath.

ROOSTER WOULD FIGHT ARMY
At Least That Is Oregon Mans opln.
Ion Of Fowl That Attacked and
Disabled Him.

Down on a farm near the Furnish
dam there is a rooster that L.. A. Nc
Clintock, local implement dealer,
thinks should be on the fighting
front over in Europe or down in
Mexico. "The blankety blank would
fight an army by himself" he says,
and he speaks from a painful expert
ence that put him on the hospital
list.
In company with Sam Paine, W.
c. E. Pruitt and Ebert Stickler, he
went down to the Furnish dam the
other day in quest of good fishing. As
the anglers were walking through the
barnyard at the ranch there a big
Buff Cochin rooster strutted out with
ruf1ed feathers. Evidently he was in
a belligerent mood as a result of the
trespass upon his preserves.
Coming up behind McClintock,
he delivered a sturdy peck at the i'm
plement mans calf, which was pro-
tected by a knee boot. The rooster
was not to be denied by any such de-
Tense. Walking around in front of
McClintock, he 1eaped into the air
and drove his sharp spurs home just
above the knee, one on either side,
delivering at the same time a stout
blow from his beak.
The spurs entered the flesh and
struck the tendons of the leg. Nc
Clintock had to be helped to ar auto
mobile, 80 effectively had the old
rooster crippled him. By the time
he reached home his leg was swollen
and stiff, and he could not use it for
some days.-Pendleton (Ore.) Dis
atch to Portland Oregonian.

SUPT. Heller
Of Mansfield, and DIR. Chancellor,
of Wooster, Address Teachers
at Initial Meeting.
[By Emma Musseiman, Sec'yl

y
The first meeting of the Mercer
County Teachers Association was
held in the Celina High School Audi
tOrium, November Is.
The meeting was called to order
by President Cotterman
The Celina High School Orchesra
delighted the audience with several
selections. Supt. II. H. Helter OF
Mansfield, spoke on Knowing ana
Doing as Complementary Processes.
This address was replete with good
things and his audience attested their
appreciation Of it by generous ap-
p1ause.
At this time of social unrest there
is demand for social efficiency and
the cry all over the country comes,
Are the schools doing their part to
satisfy the social needs and social de-
mands?'
Formerly psychologists taught that
the child was to be considered as
three distinct parts, intellectual
spiritual and physical.
We no longer think of him in terms
of fractions but as a unit. The prin-
ciple the work and contents of the
learners mind must be brought to
adequate expression should govern
the teachers daily practice because
expression is the only test of teaching
and is the only means by which
teaching can be made valuable to the
individual himself or to the commun-
ity.
This was followed by DR.. w. q.
Chancellor, of Wooster, in a mastery
address OIL Instincts. Traits and
Abilities
He named several and discussed
the good and evil effects of each.
Among the Instincts are self pro
lection, hunger, reproduction, curios-
ity and vanity; under Traits are mo
desty, optimism, generosity, sOciabil-
ity and purposivenes. Under abili- |
ties came sensorial, imaginations and
