pronounced by all to be the best
he has. ever held in the county for
that part. The work has been
carried forward in a systematic
manner and each and every
teacher has RESPONDED to every
call The interest and coed
fellO Nshlp among the teachers
Was manifested from start to fin,
Ish. Prof. Ireland knows many
people in the county and many
Of the people know him, which
in a large measure speaks for
the success Of his work in this
county.
Mrs. Davis, Superintendent as
s'st,d by Supervisor Scoggin

week both profitable and pleas
ant for the teachers. On Mon
day all the teachers were guests
Of Mrs Davis to see a sp ,cial
show at the Boone Way Opera
House. Wednesday evening
special program. consisting of
music, readings, etc. was car
ried out ut the court house and
Oh last evening another specit ii
show was given at Boone Way
in honor Of the teachers.
One Of the special features of
Wednesdays program, was the
music by the Singing Class from
JOhnetta under the direction of
the Rev. George Childress The
choir is composed largely OF
young boys and girls but they
San sing nevertheless and their
visit Ito Mo. Vernon was very
much enjoyed and appreciated
by Mt. Vernon people. We take
the liberty in behalf of the town
to say come again. The follow

Possibly the most enjoyable
session of the whole week was
the one held yesterday morning
which was properly termed" The
love feast" This consumed the
whole of the forenoon and was en-
gagged in by more than half the
teachers and some few visitors
made short talks The theme
was so operation" between the
rural teacher and the teacher of
the town schools and the country
people and the town people.
The talks We're interesting and
we believe that, that session of
the Rockcastle County Teachers
Institute will be the stal ting
move for stronger and better
co operation between the town.
people and country people, the
one thing Rockcastle needs for
the best interest of all concerned
May we look forward to 1918 for
another County Teachers Inst.
tute, the equal if not better than
the one just coming to a close.

GATE RECEIPTS FOR PLAYERS
 REACH BIG SUM
Record of the Amounts Received in Worlds Series Games Since
 Year 1903.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The biggest financial bonus of the baseball year is to be distributed soon in the form of division of the gate receipts of the World Series games of 1917. When the New York National and Chicago American League players receive their share of the money, paid in the form of admission charg- es by the thousands of spectators who will attend the contests, they will be able to deposit to the credit of their bank accounts sums larger than the yearly income of many of the fans who will witness the play.
 The players will not be the only ones to profit, however, for the club owners and National commission also come in for a percentage of the receipts, which are expected to exceed a quarter of a million dol lars this season. Under the rules of the latter body, which have gov erned the World Series since 1905, the division is made in the follow ing manner: The National commits sion receives ten per cent. of the receipts of each and every game played by the contending clubs; the remaining ninety per cent. of the first four games is divided upon a basis of two thirds to the players of the contesting clubs and one

of the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals and World Ser ies heroes may spring from unex- pected positions in the coming con tests between these clubs. Whether these series stars will rise from the ranks of the veterans or from among the younger members of the White Sox and the Giants only time can tell.
 In veteran material tested in the fire of world series strife the New York Ma tionals have decided advantage over their rivals from the Middle West Whether all of these players will get into the series. however, remains to be seen
 The following tabulations include a complete list of every player of both clubs who may be eligible for the series together with their physical and playing statistics:

third to the club owners. With tho playing of the fourth game the play CTS cease to share in the receipts and the two clubs involved divide the receipts equally. after the Ma tional commission has taken it's ten per cent The players share of the World Series funds are apportioned upon a basis of sixty per cent to the winner and forty per cent. to hte loser, while the two clubs as cor porations are required to contribute certain amount of their portions to the leagues of which they are members
 That these sums are not to be con sidered lightly, even in the present days of extraordinary financial opera tions, may be realized when it is stated that the receipts of the thirteen series played since 1903 have aggregated $2,- STA, ,224, of this huge amount the play CTS have received s1,1S0.S23, the club owners, s1,411. .156, and the National Commission $282,242 The rule govern ing the series specify that each club shall name in advance of the play the men who are eligible to participate in the games. These players each receive one share of the winning or losing teams percentage with certain ar engagements for ground keepers. mascots and others connected with the teams in a minor capacity.
 Some idea of the sums that fall to the share of players who engage in the world series may be gained from a glance of the records of preceding struggles. The largest amount went to the members of the Boston Amer jeans who played and won the eight game series from the New York Ma tionals in 1912 That year each regu- lar member of the Red Sox received $4024. The next highest amount was s39l0. also captured by the Boston Americans of last sea son as result of their defeat of the Brooklyn Ma tionals. The smallest sum received since 1903 by the individual members of winning team was s1,142. by the New York Nationals in the series against the Philadelphia Americans in 1905. The Chicago Nationals hold the minimum losers record with $439. when in four out of six games in 1906.

JUNEAU CHAPTER OF AMERICAN
 RED CROSS
Juneau Chapter meets Tues day, Thursday and Saturday at the City Hall, at one o'clock.

Such hustle and hustle and rush as there was in the Red Cross work rooms on Saturday afternoon Sweat CTS, scarfs, socks, and wristlets were scurried through their last paces, and the big box was packed ready for shipment. A sigh of content ment and relaxation now comes from the knitting households of Juneau for the October shipment has been completed and started on it's long journey to the front. Women drew a breath of freedom before renewing the activity of their needles for the next shipment, while men resume the newspapers lately laid aside with cheerful alacrity. Oh yes, the men, too, you see!
 With satisfied smile of one who feels himself proficient in a given art, MT Behrends said "Yes, l helped wind the yarn. I used to do that when 1 was boy"
 It is though that Mr Fisher has formed the habit of striking a John Alden attitude whenever he catches sight of the big knitting bag which is the envy of all Mrs. Fishers neighbors, while it is known that Harry Lucas was assisting in the yarn winding process when he so far forgot himself as to use a knit ting needle for digging out his pipe. Robert Cragg is reported to have gone down the street muttering, Two skeins, one hank; twelve hanks, one hunk-no, one bundle well, anyhow it takes three skeins to make scarf" and it is believed that a few nights ago Dr. Ma hone extricated himself with great difficulty from yarn entanglement 1 barely in time to respond to a call. | Other Juneau men have lately learn ed much about things of which they formerly knew little, but for a real ly artistic knitter, for knitting ac- complished with graceful ease and sang froid, it is said one should behold Dr. Mooney at work.
 However these things may be, Jul neau Chapter feels that it will this winter have some part in keeping ting. and garment and surgical sup ply making will proceed with un- abated vigor looking toward anoth- CT shipment at the earliest possible moment.
 l ,,t fv,n lor boxes of supplies to Seattle Sunday One of these boxes contained 20 sets of knitted articles, each set consisting of a sweater, a pair of wristlets, a scarf, and two pairs of socks also thirty pairs of socks i; three scarfs;'7 pairs of wristlets; 1 dozen shoulder wraps; 5 dozen handkerchiefs; dozen handkerchief substitutes; three dozen pairs of | pajamas
 The other box contained surgical supplies, consisting of quantities of congresses and laparotomy pads.
 This is the third shipment made by the Juneau Chapter, and will be sent to the new Northwestern Divis- ion headquarters in Seattle.
 A letter recently received from Mr. Clymer's office in San Fran cisco, makes mention of the fact that the field representative who recently visited the Territory, made most enthusiastically favorable report of the work being done by Juneau chap ter.
