Notice to Teachers and Prospective
Teachers.

TO the Teachers of Decatur County
and others interested
There is such a demand for :
weeks summer session at Graceland
College that it has been decided to
offer the y weeks course This will
be of great advantage to the teachers
and prospective teachers of this
county, as it will meet the full re-
of those who desire to raise their
grades and to receive credit for sum-
mer school attendance, thus increas-
ing their monthly salary.
The law provides that "A ten
weeks session holding six days a
week will be counted as a twelve
weeks session." Graceland College
Summer School will begin Monday,
June 5, and close Saturday, August
IL, thus saving two full weeks in
time and expense to those in attend
ance and at the same time giving all
the work required.
All will be interested in knowing
that Prof. NJ. L. Seder, editor of the
Iowa Agriculturist, published at Iowa
State College, Ames, and teacher OF
ability, has been secured to take full
charge of the course in agriculture
at the Graceland Summer School. 1t
is believed that this single course
will be we'll worth the time and ex-
pense of the teachers of Decatur
&C unity.
No expense has been spared to
make this one of the best summer
schools in the state. 1t is fully
accredited school. The state super
intendent of public instruction and
his deputy will both be present dur
ing the session for lectures and con-
ferences with the teachers and in adj
dition a number of other prominent
educators from this and other states
will be in attendance.
Summer schools similar to the
Graceland school are being encour-
aged by the state department of edu-
cation, to avoid the large number
gathered at certain central points,
numbers far in excess of their ability
to properly care for the individual
needs of the teachers. With more
summer schools and smaller attend
ance in each it is believed by the
state authorities that much better
work can be accomplished. the re-
quirements of the law better met,
and the needs of the teachers more
adequately provided for.

-Run-do1un?
Tired
Weak?

Every Spring most people feel "all
out of sorts"-their vitality is at a
low ebb. Through the winter months
shut up great deal in heated house,
Office, or factory, with little healthy
exercise in the great outdoors-eating
more than necessary-the blood be-
comes surcharged with poisons! The
best Spring medicine and tonic is one
made of herbs and roots without alco-
hol-that was first discovered by DR..
Pierce ago. Made of Golden
Seal root, blood root, with glycerine, 1t
is called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Ingredients on wrapper.
It eliminates from the blood disease
breeding poisons. 1t makes the blood
rich and pure, and furnishes founda-
tion for sound, physical health.

Serious Accident.

While working in his machine shop
Monday evening Will Hougas met
with a mighty serious accident. He,
in company with Silas Midgorden and
E. Altman were cumming lumber
saw when the emory wheel broke,
one piece striking Mr.. Hougas about
one half inch below the right eye,
cutting quite cash and badly bruis-
ing his face. The boys working with
him had narrow escapes as pieces of
the wheel flew in all directions, one
piece breaking out a window some
distance from where they were
working. Mr.. Hougas put in bad
night Monday, but has been resting
very easy since then and it is not
thought that any serious develop
ments will come up. This was a
mighty narrow escape from a more
serious accident and Will is fortu-
nate that his injuries were no worse.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN POPULAR

Some residents of Manoa have set inquiries
on foot as to whether they will have an oppor-
tunity of investing in the Improvement bonds
for that district. 1t is well known that two OF
the local banks have agreed to take the Manoa
bonds between them, SO that the would-be in
vestors among the residents will have to look
to them for whatever allotment of the securi-
ties they are able to buy.
There will not be great deal of the issue
left for the chief bidders after the assessments
which will be paid in full in advance together
with the county's share of the cost of the i'm
provement are deducted. An officer of one of
the banks in question seen yesterday estimated
that the whole amount would not be more than
about $120000 He further said he was willing
to allow local investors to have some of the
bonds.
The Importance of such an inquiry being
made lies in its signifying that the new system
of street construction is becoming popular.
Those wishing to invest in the bonds are going
to have their own properties assessed, accord
ing to area, for the improvement.

STAR LIGHT.

The Seattle Star sheds new light on naval
problems in an editorial which says in part:
1.-The people are demanding actual and active
preparedness, preparedness of the war craft we
now have, while congress is dickering over the
program of the future and that at once or
sooner. We want to be able to stand off the
Hawaiian navy, if it should turn on us, any
way
Whether the Star is induIging in humor too
deep for ordinary comprehension or whether
it knows no better concerning Hawaii s status
is question we leave with the editor and his
conscience
