Too Many Teachers
Are Marrying in
Cornhusker State

Lincoln, Feb. 22.-Leading school
executives and teachers OF rural
schools of central and western states,
who began conference here today,
were almost unanimous in deploring
the fact that trained teachers cannot
be kept in rural schools, in many in
stances longer than year or two.
Higher salaries in other occupations
were given as one reason The main
cause of the trouble, however, was
declared by the speakers at tonight's
meeting to be marriage. The educa-
tors said they were not urging a
change against mating, but what they
wished to impress upon the rural
teachers was to make their profess
sional work the first consideration. "
DR.. Francis O. Clark, dean of the
vocational school of Berea college,
Berea, KY, told of the handicaps in
the mountain districts OF Kentucky.
He said the people were eager for
education, but had their own ideas
of how to acquire it.
President E. A. Sutherland OF the
Nashville (Tenn.) Agricultural insti-
tute emphasized the need of education
that will hold boys and girls on the
farm.
Other speakers at today's session
were: c. D. Steiner, head of agricul-
tural educational department of the
University of Utah, Salt Lake City;
S. T. Sherry of the government serv-
ice, Winnebago, Neb.; J. A. Shoe
maker. director of rural education in
Kansas. and Mary c. Bradford, Den
yer, superintendent OF Colorado
school. School officials and teachers
from fourteen central, southern and
western states, are attending the con-
ference.

He told reporters that food pro-
duct factories in Chicago in many
cases are running only Is per cent
Of capacity, because they cannot ship
their products out and that one of the
biggest corn products factories in the
world may have to close down en-
tirely if conditions are not remedied.
He said that although the elevators
have ceased to operate they bear, be-
cause of the shortage Of laboring men,
to lay off any hands. as they might
not be able to get them back again.
Thus their expenses remain at the
maximum.
The holding of grain and grain
products is what, largely, is sending
food prices soaring in the east and en-

FRENCH MINISTER
LAUDS WASHINGTON
Thomas Says Spirit of Two
Great Americans That of
France Fighting for
Liberty.
WARS FOR LIBERTY LONG

Paris. Feb. 22.-All the great de-
partments OF the French government
the war office, the foreign office
and the navy--and the municipality
OF Paris, were represented today in
the ceremonies at the foot of the
equestrian statue of Washington in
the Place d'lena. The statue was
,rected in 1900 by the women OF
America. Many hundreds OF Parisians
md Americans watched the placing
OF the wreaths. General Savetier laid
one at the foot OF the statue for Cen
cral Lyautey the French minister of
war, and H. Cleveland Coke placed
one for the Empire state society OF
the Sons OF the American Revolution
One of the most beautiful wreaths
was that in behalf of the municipal
council OF Paris.
French Minister Speaks.
Albert Thomas, minister OF NUM-
tons, represented the French govern
ment. Standing upon the base of the
monument he recalled that the first
and only alliance made by the Amer
lean republic was with France and
traced the analogies of the two peo-
pies and nations.
"One Of the best evidences of the
community of thought and aspirations
of the two peoples" he said, sis the
fact that two Americans Washington
and Lincoln--expressed better than
ever has been done before or since
exactly the principles for which
France is fighting today"
Referring to President Wilson's adj
dress to the senate and American ac-
ton. he added.
President Wilson, far from re-
nouncing the Monroe doctrine. asks
that that doctrine be applied to the
entire world, that all people be free
to fix their own policies and to ar
range their own doctrines"
Referring to the American revolu.
ton and the war of secession and
comparing these conflicts with the
present struggle in Europe, Minister
Thomas said:
THE tenacity OF Washington and
Lincoln find emulation in France to-
day, Peoples like ours never tire
easily. All wars for liberty are long
and have always been wagcd to the
bitter end"
Ambassador Sharp's Address.
William G. Sharp, the American
ambassador. spoke of the American
satisfaction which must be brought
to us all in participation in this cere-
mony OF our brothers under another
flag, between whom and ourselves
from time immemoral there has been
bond OF sympathy and good fellow
ship which only community of ideals
and aspirations could produce"
Mr.. Sharp alluded to the deep ap-
probation of Americans for the man
Hesitation OF noble sentiment that has
prompted the French government to
participate through its representatives
in this ceremony"
A detachment of thirty members Of
the American field ambulance was
among those grouped around the
statue.

OIL works better on sandy soils than
on clay or heavy loans. Loan soils
may be helped by sprinkling light
coating Of sand over the oiled surface.
After the first year ii is better to ap-
ply from one-quarter To one-third of "a
gallon of oil to each square yard of
surface in the spring and the same
amount again in the fall.
For laying the dust on city streets,
oiling may be as economical and more
satisfactory than water, particularly
if the soil Is sandy. When city streets
are oiled 1t is best TO cover the cross
walks with dust or dirt so that they
will not be covered with OIL When
the oiling process is finished the dust
or dirt may be swept away. Surface
oiled streets are not satisfactory If the
soil Is clay or loan, for the oily dust
blows about and is carried into build
