that on Thursday afternoon he would
make a speech defending President
Wilson's administration from the at

announced ne would have to postpone
the speech until he made certain OF

PRowERs COUNTY TEACHERS
Largest Gathering in the History of
of the County Teachers Associa-
ton

On last Friday and Saturday the
largest and most enthusiastic session
of the Prowers County Teachers As
ISOLATION ever held in the county met
at Lamar. Ninety of the county's
educational staff were present and
took part in the sessions and it speaks
well for the work Of our county su-
perintendent, Miss Mary Lake, that
her work of the past year has had
much to do with creating this great
interest in the organization. Such
large assemblage Of the teachers with
the consequent exchange of views and
experiences cannot help but be of
great benefit to the educational work
of our schools.
The sessions of the association on
both Friday and Saturday were mark
ed by large attendance and much in
terest. At noon on Friday a most
delightful banquet was served at the
Christian church by the ladies of that
church. After the banquet a very in
teresting program Of toasts was Civ
en- with Prof. Geo. R Momyer as
POSTMASTER. Governor Carlson was
unable 70 reach Lamar in time to be
present at the banquet and respond
to the toast Colorado" but his place
was taken by Rev. Crozier in most &C
ceptable manner. On Friday evening
the auditorium of the high school was
packed to hear our governors address
to the teachers.
Governor Carlson had had trying
day, having reached Pueblo in the
afternoon after a long ride on the
train and coming down from there by
auto. He reached Lamar after eight
o'clock, got his supper and reached
the auditorium by nine. He was &C
companied by Messrs. Wilder and
Swain of the Pueblo Chieftain. The
governor was greeted by the large
audience with hearty applause and
made a forcible and entertaining talk
on the subject of the development and
improvement of educational methods
in Colorado. The governor has an
earnest and convincing way about
him that eonvinces all of his sincerity
whether they agree with him or not,
and he adds to his list Of friends
wherever he goes over the state.
Messrs. Wilder and Swain also made
short talks.
Among the visitors were Prof. E.
Peterson of the Pueblo schools and
Prof. Schriber of the Greeley normal.

the work of the association during

Not So Peaceful

About two-thirds of the supporters
of President Wilson in the past year
have given as their sole reason for
their position that he has claimed to
have kept US out of war. Now he has
changed his mind again and only the
stand of congress has prevented him
from rushing US into it in a totally
unprepared condition.

LIVING LAKE CHURCH

Old United Presbyterian Church In
Washington County Is Now no
More-Founded In 1868.

BY order Of the Keokuk Presbytery,
the disbanding Of the United Presby-
terrain church in Jackson township.

Living Lake church, was carried out
at a meeting held in the First United
Presbyterian church in Washington.
iowa, recently. 1t was forty-eight
years ago that the Living Lake
church was organized and during the
years that have elapsed since then 1t
has filed its place in the moral and
spiritual up-building of the commun-
ity. But of late years the tendency
has been away from the country
church to that of the larger congre-
cations In the towns, and so the mem
bership Of Living Lake began to
diminish until 1t had reached that
stage when It was difficult for them to
maintain a pastor and keep up the In
cidcntal expenses and 80 it was
thought best to do away with 1t.

twenty feet square. For reseeding
lawn, one-tenth to one-half Of this
amount should be used, according to
the condition Of the lawn at the
time. For the northern part Of the
United States, Kentucky blue grass
and redtop are the standard varie-
ties. However, where there are many
bare spaces 1t will be found well to
use some white clover. About one
tenth the quantity of clover as Of
the other grasses mentioned will be
required.
Probably as good a time as any
to apply grass seed will be some
morning when the ground is frozen,
so that when the ground thaws dur
ing the middle of the day the sown
seed will be covered sufficiently to
terminate well. The most successful
seeding is that done white the ground
is freezing a little each night and
thawing again in the daytime. Many
people have success in sowing grass
seed upon a light snowfall at time
when the snow is likely soon to melt.
With either of these methods, how
ever, there is danger that birds will
eat some of the seed before it Is
covered in the soil. In spite of this,
however, there is better chance of
getting a good lawn by these methods
than when the seed is sown on land
that will not quickly cover 1t.
The last operation in the prelim1-
nary spring care Of lawn is to give
it good rolling. This rolling, which
should be done with as heavy roller
| as can be handled, should not be be-
gun, however, until after the lawn Is
dry enough 80 that the roller passes
over it without sinking at any point
below the general level. II the land
! is too wet the roller will leave de-
pressions This rolling should be
| done lust as soon as the land is dry
enough to permit it, as rolling com
pacts the soil about the roots of the
| plants, brings them into closer con-
| tact with the soil, and gives them a
better opportunity to make quick
| start as soon as weather conditions
| are favorable.
Grass cutting should begin just as
soon as the lawn mower can get
good hold The very early cutting
| may be made with the lawn mower
set close to the ground. AS soon as
| the growth of grass becomes little
| less vigorous, the mower should be
! set Just as high as possible. This
| high cutting should be done as fire.
| uuentIy as though the grass were
being cut shorter.

Rock Island, was the first to be built
out of Davenport. The company in
corporated in 1853 and began work In
1855. BY that time the railroad had
been built through Illinois as far as
Rock Island. Mr.. Greene remembers
watching the gang as the first loco
motive was brought across from Rock
Island to Davenport over the ice dur
ing the winter Of 1855. There was
no bridge at that place capable OF
holding locomotive: therefore II
was necessary to bring It across on
the ice after the river had frozen
over. Planks were laid on the sur
face Of the ice. in this wooden track
the engine travelled. That engine
was named the Antonio lie Claire. A
picture of It was exhibited at the San
Francisco exposition in the Iowa de-
partment, to show the big develop
ment of railroading in Iowa.
At Burlington there were sixteen
roads organized in the fifties and Six
ties. The first road to be built out
OF that city was the Burlington and
Missouri. 1t was undertaken in 1852,
1t was the beginning Of the Burling-
ton route. The Burlington is the re-
suit OF combination, consolidation and
purchases OF fifty-eight railroads.
More Ambitious Towns.
The boosters of Cedar Rapids
launched eighteen railroads which
landed in the graveyard; Clinton pro-
noted seven unsuccessful ones: Du-
5uque had twenty-seven hit the rocks
in infancy; Council Bluffs had nine
die suddenly: Keokuk was the home
Of twelve which failed to materialize,
and Ottumwa drew plans for twenty
roads which are still on paper.
One of the roads, the Chicago
Town Pacific, was capitalized at 800.
900, 900. Another, the Milwaukee,
Chicago, Cassville end Montana rail-
road, had $50. 00O, 900 worth Of stock
The boosters in 1860 proposed two
railroads which were to be built dl
rect from New York to Iowa. They
were capitalized at 500, 1000, 900 each
At Wapello, the Philadelphia. Fort
Wayne and Platte River was formed
with $4,000, 900 capital In 1853.
Among the roads having an unusual
name was the Forty-ntnth Parable
railway. organized at McGregor ir
1868. It was never built. Among the
early roads were thirty-nine headed
toward the Mississippi river from
/ interior Iowa and ten headed tOwarc

game.
