And have completely furnished theil
new home and hall.
They're a jolly good bunch, full OF
daughter and fun,
But they're always right there when
there is work to be done.
Today as a Federated Club we meet,
To visit, to work and also to eat.
We hope to accomplish much this
year,
And you'll find that work we do not
fear.
I hope this has pleased you; it's orig

My neighbor helped me out, and she

We managed at last to get through,
And with our combined efforts this is
the best we could do.

Faculty Have Last Feed.

The high school faculty participat-
ed in their last frolic Wednesday
morning. The hour for the break
fast-that was what it was-was 7
a. M, however Moore was the only
pedigogue present at that time. Most
of them arrived about 1880. Some
of them did not show up at all, prob
ably because they were ashamed to
have everyone know how late they
were up the previous night. Among
these last was Mr.. Harmon, who has
always been known for his sleeping
propensities. The menu for the meal
was bacon, eggs, buns and coffee
An enormous amount of these pro-
visions were available and the whole
supply disappeared in short order.
Nothing much was to be found out
about the conduct of the young and
irresponsible members OF the faculty,
but we all sincerely hope that they
all conducted themselves in the way
that all good teachers should.

Clubs.

Ny neighbor called me from my home
And told me to hurry and write a
poem,
That the ladies who belonged to the
Federated Club
To the Hotel Oregon were going for
grub,
And they wanted a original,
too,
And 1 wondered how this one would
do.
Some people say they don't like
clubs,
1t takes too much time, and too many
duds.
They think we should stay at home
all day
And let the men nave all the say.
But if you will listen moment to
me,
While / outline our work, you shall
soon see
Why we all like club members to be.
For the Civic ladies are planning
Fairgrounds safe and neat
To keep the children off the street;
Also collecting tires and rags,
Old tin cans and paper bags;
The Chautauqua ladies are studying
books
To improve their minds as we'll as
looks.
They also help in maintaining the
park,
Where the young couples love to go
and spark.
The Parent-T Teachers, both East and
West,
In their respective duties are doing
their best.
The Sunshine ladies have a noble
work,
To help the unfortunate they do not
shirk.
The Auxiliary ladies have Just given

Supervisor Peterson
Gets Busy

Mr.. Peterson, school supervisor, af-
ter writing letters to the various can
didates for school superintendent, ad-
dressed a letter to the rural teachers
against my candidacy for county
school superintendent because l
stood for "the elimination of county
school supervisors"
Mr.. Peterson is right. l don't
evade this question, but come out
openly and advocate their abolition.
The superintendent can do this work
and get better results. The system
has cost the county at least $4,000
year for the past five years and is
one of the causes of placing the SUI
perintendent's office as the third
highest in expense in the state. The
"force" certainly has been active this
past three months. Will M. Peter
son enumerate what the two super
visors, county superintendent and Of
flee deputy have accomplished this
past five years?
The law makes provision for the
elimination of supervisors by the
county educational board County SUI
perintendent and four members ap-
pointed by him). I shall deem it my
duty to ascertain the will of the peo-
pie in this matter and pledge myself
to follow it.

dates Bulletin.

MEXICAN DECREE
PROMULGATED FOR
CONSTITUTION
Delegates Will Meet at
Queretaro December 1,
with Protection Assured.

Mexico City, Sept. 3O.-(Corres-,
pondence of the Associated Press).-
The decree calling for the election of
delegates to the constitutional az:
sembly which will meet in Queretaro
December / to discuss and approve a
new constitution for Mexico has been
given the widest publicity throughout
the republic. The decree was tele-
graphed in full to the governors of all
the states in order to avoid delay
in publication everywhere. In all gar
rison towns the proclamation was
made public on it's receipt by means of
a military parade through the streets
with troops and bands followed by the
public reading Of the decree. It also
was prominently posted in public
places and published in all available
newspapers.
The decree provides that state gov
errors, presidents of municipalities
and others in authority are not eligible
for election as delegates to the con-
gress. The first three sessions of the
assembly will be governed by the rules
of procedure formerly used by the
chamber of deputies, the assembly it.
self making such amendments to those
rules as conditions make advisable
The assembly will also pass on the
credentials of the delegates and desig-
nate the duties of each.

RUSSIAN ARMIES
FULLY PREPARED
FOR LONG Fight
Transformation Completed
from Poorly Equipped
Army into Fine Machine.

AT the front with the Tenth Russian
army, Sept. 25.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-It is only at
the active front, we'll removed from
the lnaction and pessimism which
poison the outlook from the large cit
les IN Russia, that one is able to form
fair estimate of what Russia has ac-
complished during the past year in
transforming a poorly equipped, made
quately munitioned and consequently
dlspirited army into we'll ordered
machine from which every trace of
disorder and inefficiency has disap-
lp3eared. 1t is at first almost imposs-
1ole to realize that the present or
ganlzation, which compares favorably
with that Of any army in the field,
has been built out of the wreck of last
summers disaster and that the same
commanders who were then occupied
with the difficult task of leading their
crippled forces into position of safe
w. are now confidently and eagerly
speaking of an advance into the terri
tory lost to them in last summers
campaign. A general who took part
IN the retreat from Warsaw and who
commanded one of the divisions which
nefolcally strove to delay the eGr-
man advance, was asked by an Associ-
ated Press correspondent to compare
rs conditions which prevailed in the

When the constitution is adopted by

it and swear to uphold it's provisions

and when the new constitution is pub
lished all authorities and employees of

town councils, which has been the chief
manufacturer and distributing agent
of all military supplies. Through the
gigantic strides in organization and
output which this union has made
since the beginning of the war, it has
been able not only to assist materially
in the manufacture and purchase Of
guns and munitions, but to see that
every part of the army is plentifully
supplied with hospitals and medical
apparatus, bath houses, clean linen
and all of the comforts of life which
now surround the army. After visit
ing numerous points along the west
ern front, the correspondent found
that the model conditions which at
first might have seemed to belong only
to few exceptional localities which
had been chosen for purposes of ex-
hibition, applied universally to the
whole area of the front.
Morale Is Better.
1t is to these tangible improvements
in conditions that the less tangible but
equally important morale of the Rus
sian troops is due. The Russian SOL
der, illiterate and ignorant as he gen.
orally is, is not unresponsive to the
currents of confidence or depression
which run through the organism of
an army. Last summer he was quite
aware of the unfortunate circumstan-
ces which made retreat inevitable and
impaired the efficiency of whatever
unit to which he belonged. But he
has now had an opportunity Of see
ing the conditions reversed. He knows
+ho4 ho is hacked I'm nv an OrganiZa-
ton in which no detail has been over
looked and he is eager to display his
newborn efficiency.

'There is no comparison" answered

But today we are their equals. 1t is
the difference between chaos and or

Conditions Improved.
On broad lawn which thanked the

this regiment had just been relieved
from work in the trenches the day be-

At short distance from headquarters
one could see The white tents Of the
soldiers cleaning through the open
spaces cleared in the pine forest which
covered a knoll which had been chos-
en- as the best drained and most health
full spot for the sleeping quarters Of
the army. Faint streaks of smoke
curled upward from the outdoor
kitchens where dinner was being pre-
pared. On returning from the trench
es, each soldier had been given bath
and fresh linen, while the clothes he
had been wearing were put through
disinfecting machine and launder-
ed. The Russian soldier lives better

Protect Delegates.

The decree provides that delegates
may not be molested for opinions they
express in carrying out the duties to
which they are elected and they will
not be subject to prosecution for ordi-
nary misdemeanors it being necessary
to remove them from the office of
delegate before they can be prosecut-
ed under the civil statutes. The charg-
es Of official misconduct which may
be brought against the deputies will
be judged by the assembly itself.
Those shall be considered eligible
for election as deputies who are citi-
zens of the state from which they seek
election or have resided in the state
six months or who were born in the
state although they afterwards re-
moved elsewhere. 1t is also provided
those shall be eligible who were citi-
zens of a state at the time of the
Madero) but who afterwards demon
strated by concrete acts that they sup
ported the Constitutionalist cause.
The decree states that one more
than fifty per cent of the delegates
must be present in order to constitute
a quorum. If when the first session
is called there is not majority pres
ent those present shall be empowered
to seat the alternates Of the absentees.
If any delegate be absent three con-
secutive sessions without permission
his alternate will be seated. The same
will apply if he is absent five times in
Is days. Alternates who do not at
tend will lose their pay. Delegates
will receive 60 pesos day and travel
ing expenses to and from Queretaro
