DRY TOWNS PREFERRED
Circuses Say They Pay Better Than
Wet Ones.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, oct. 6.-Time
was not so long ago when the ad-
vance agent OF a big circus took
particular pains TO ascertain whether
the town under his observation was
wet or dry. He did not consider il
good business TO route his show into
a dry town. But times have changed
according to circus men interviewed
here. Today the route agent pre-
fers the dry cities. The management
OF big circus is quick TO learn and
he has found money more plentiful,
crowds more orderly, and general
conditions better in the dry COM
munities than in the wet communi-
ties. Then. too, the ''rough-necks'
ION the show" are not liable to be-
come incapacitated in the dry towns.

ed late Thursday that he had been
served with a summons in a suit

Mccormick said he had not been
apprised, however. OF the charges
upon which the suit was based.
Mr.. O'Leary, in a statement issued
soon afterward, declared that his
purpose in instituting the action was
ito find out first whether hyphen-
ism. so-caIled is libelous: and sec
ond. whether il is inconsistent with
Americanism
Mr.. O'Leary said ne resented
statement attributed 20 Mr.. Nc
Cormick, criticizing him for sending
an insulting message" TO Pres't
Wilson In that message Mr.. OLeary
criticized the president for mot en-
forcing American rights against
Great Britain" and informed Mr..
Wilson that he would not vote for
the reelection of the president. Mr..
Wilson replied that he would "be
deeply mortified If you (Mr. O'Leary)
or anybody like you vote for me-"
adding:
"Since you have access 10 many
disloyal Americans and / have not,
/ will ask you to convey this mes
sage to them"
In the statement attributed to Mr..
Mccormick. appearing Oct. and
upon which Mr.. OLeary said he
based his suit for libel. the chair
man of the democratic national
committee was quoted as having
commented upon the presence of
Charles +. Hughes at the Union
League club reception Tuesday
night. concluding with the state
ment that there could be no doubt
about Mr.. Hughes position because
of his silence on the message sent
to the president by Mr.. OLeary.

MANDATORY LAW IS
UNDOUBTEDLY BETTER
And Results In More Efficient
School Attendance.


The following is the ninth talk on
1.-THE Rural School Term by J L.
McBrien, School Extension Agent L.
S. Bureau of Education, Department
CT the Interior
The advantages OF a State with
mandatory compulsory school at
tendance law and long rural school
term over the state with only an op-
tiol compulsory school attendance
law and short rural school term
are clearly seen in California and
South Carolina. The average rural
school term in California is IFS day
while the average rural term in
South Carolina is So days. accord
ing to the latest statistics showing
l~separately the length of rural and
urban school terms. The average
number of days attended by Cahfor=
mia children between the aees ef >
Ilnd IS, that is, during their camul
sorry school period, is 1119 days per
year, while in South Carolina It i
only Alb days per year On this ba-
sis of attendance from the first to
the twelfth grades. inclusive, thai IS.
extending from the first grade
through the high school, the average
education for each child in Califor
MIA was 1928 days, while The aver
age education for each child in south
Carolina is only 1856 days, lhus MAX
ing the average education for each
child in California 8472 days more
than the average education for each
child in South Carolina California
gives a higher average number Of
days education for each child than
any other State in The Union onls
the District of Columbia gives more
-1,399.2 days-56 more days than
Catalonia and $685. days more than
South Carolina.
Even where a State has a long ~
raj school term. as Maryland has had
for several years past with only a
weak optional compulsory attend
apce law the lone rural school term
is materially shortened by low az
erage daily attendance. The average
rural school term in Maryland has
been for some years 1875 days, bat
under this "puerile and defenceless@
compulsory attendance law, TO quote
the State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction in that State. the number
of pupils attending daily in every
100 enrolled in the rural schools Of
Maryland was only 81 This makes
the actual average rural school term
in Maryland only 917 days On the
other hand, Oregon with a state-wid
mandatory school attendance law,
has had a rural school term Of 1857
days.; the number Of pupils attend
ng daily in every 100 enrolled was
l06 days While Oreaon's legal IN
al school term was Gil days short

actual average rural school term was
