Teachers Wages.

The average annual wages paid to
teachers in Iowa in 1905 were $345.6O;
in 1910 the average wages paid were
S423.S5 and in 1915 approximately $545
An increase in teachers wages of 80
per cent during the last five years is
noted. Some advancement toward bet
ter salaries has been made. However,
wages still remain little better than
sufficient to meet actual necessary liv-
ing expenses, because of increased
cost of living.
Authentic reports indicate that the
average annual wages received by the
workers in five occupations in the
United States are as follows: Carpen-
ters, $500; coal miners, $3.50; factory
workers, $3.50: common laborers, $572;
teachers, SASS. .
The average salaries paid teachers
are insufficient to adequately provide
for old age. The teacher deserves bet

AS GREAT SHOCK
.Mra. A. P. Lyman, Well Known il
Western Crawford and Dunlap,
Dies Of Heart Failure.
WAS BORN AS CYNTHIA wore
Married to Albert p. Lyman March
23, 1880, and Was the Mother
al Four Children.

Dunlap, Jan. Especial
The 1entire community was very
much grieved and shocked to learn OF
the sudden calling of Mrs. A. P. Ly
man Friday evening, December 31st,
at her home on Iowa avenue.
Mrs. Lyman had been in usual
health and was busy preparing her
home to receive the remains OF the
late G. NJ Chapman. After all was in
order and she was preparing to retire
for the night she stepped to window
to draw the blind, when she was seiz
ed with heart failure. A physician was
summoned. but all efforts to revive
herrwere futile and she passed away
without fully regaining consciousness.
Ellen Cynthia Wore was born in
Crawford county, Oct. s. 1856, the on
ly daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben
Wore. one of the earliest settlers of
that part of Crawford county. She was
one of family of five children her
brothers being Fred, of Valentine,
Neb., Lou, of Dow City. Pearl, of
Spring Lake, Texas and Charles whc
died in early childhood She grew to
womanhood on her fathers homestead
and received a good common school
education at a near by rural school
On March %, 1880 she was united
in marriage to Albert P. Lyman and
began home making on farm near
her parents.
To this union four sons were born:
Roy. of Bennington. Neb., Albert, iv
ing south of town and Roger and
Pearl on the Lyman homestead south
of town.
After Mrs. Lyman's parents retired
from the farm and moved into town,
Mr.. Lyman became interested in land
business at Muskogee, Okla, and
thought best to move there. Five years
ago Mrs. Wore was called by death
At that time Mrs. Lyman came to
care for her in her last illness and she
and her husband remained to be a
help and comfort to the aged father
whom they would not sever from old
friends to make a new home with
them
Mrs. Lyman was a member of the
Congregational church and took an &C
tive part intail its work. She was also
a member of the Eastern Star, in all
phases of life as daughter. wife and
mother she did the duty nearest at
hand.
She, leaves besides her four sons
and husband an aged father, whose
comfort was her ruling thought,
thirteen grandchildren and three
brothers with a large circle Of friends
who deeply regret the sudden passing
of noble christian woman.
The funeral occurred Monday after
noon at $3.50 at the Congregational

Dunlap Hunter. Hold Contest.

Dunlap, Dec. 31-The annual Grove
township hunt was held yesterday, re-
sulting in victory for the south side,
last years losers. l3
Hugh Carmichael, Jr., was captain
of the south side, and Earl Hack OF
the north.
The south side made a total of 81
points, having six men on their side,
while the north side made 63 points,
having four men and one boy.
The south sides average was IA
points per man, the north side averag-
ing Is points for the four men and the
boy only making>3 points.
This being the second hunt and each
side having one victory to their cred
it. it now seems necessary to hold an
ether hunt to decide the township
championship.
The north side hunters say they are
ready to hunt at any time. but would
like to help draw up the rules and reg
ulations to govern the same.

One Democratic Failure.

1t may be unfair to criticize the
democratic majority in the house for
it's failure to make progress with the
budget system which all we'll informed
statesmen know to be one of the cry
ing needs of the American govern
ment. But the failure is pronounced
and must be marked up to the discred.
it of the democratic party. In its plat
forms for many years this organization
has promised economy, yet it fails to
take the first step toward systematic
ing and organizing the nations ex-
penditures and making it possible to
guard against waste and extravaganza
The interests of good government
would be enormously advanced if the
party of President Wilson lived up to
the aspirations of it's leader.

the diplomatic set, because they are
used to it and know how to handle

sounds OF revelry by night and tile
buzz OF gossip by day.
So suddenly did the. announcement
come that President Wilson and the
new mistress of the white house woull
put away dull care and seek deluding
joys, that the official haut monde has
hardly had time to prepare program
OF the seasons events, and now there
is a grand scramble for gowns and
gewgaws, engraved cards and open

milady's millinery and lingerie are
beautiful to behold: winters are lay

jewelers. are exhibiting new designs:
theatrical and operate stars and mu-
sicians are being booked for private
entertainments. The wife of one cab
met officers is said to have written a
couple OF playlets which will be pro-
duced before select audiences. His
tory and mythology are being ran
sacked for characters to be represent
ed at fancy dress balls. Debutantes
will bloom like dandelions in the warm
spring sod. Altogether the season
promises to be hummer.
The gala day feeling in Washington
this year is in marked contrast with
the puritaHical expression which the
city assumed when President Wilson
was inaugurated in 1913. The usual
had been made that year
for the inaugural ball, when, right in
the midst of them, came the decision
of President Wilson that there would
be no ball; that his was to be an ad-
of Jeffersonian simplicity;
that the Office of chief magistrate was
one of such grave responsibility as to
preclude his entry into the social
whirl So society put away its silks
and satins and donned linsey woolsey
and became sedate. All receptions
and Publications were tabooed.
But, pshaw! When man comes
to himself" society comes into its own
Hence it is decreed that this, the last
year of Mr.. Wilson, shall,
