SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE
LEAVING THE PROFESSION

Oklahoma City, July 5.-The work
Of obtainin gtrained teachers is go
ing to be serious problem this
fall, according to r. II. Wilson,
state superintendent of public in
struction. Out of the approx
mately $500 man teachers who were
employed in the various schools of
Oklahoma before the war began, L.
O24, that have been able to learn
of, have already entered military
service of some kind. At the same
time 900 trained women teachers.
also, have entered some form OF war
work, or taken up mans duties
somewhere, removing them from
the teaching service. Many of the
vacant positions have been filled
but the number of trained teachers,
men or women. is going to be linn
tied" Mr.. Wilson added he was
gathering the figures as to the num-
ber Of men who have entered mill
tary service, in order to prepare a
service flag to be unfurled during
the meeting here OF the State
Teachers Association during the
Thanksgiving holidays.

Prime Minister ofMankind
Is Woodrow Wilson, and Gen.
Pershing Is Man Among Men
american Orator Declares

Laclede, Mo-, July ST. was in
England last year when Pershing
landed" said the Rev. Burris A.
Jenkins of Kansas City, in an ad-
dress here yesterday at the combin-
ed celebration of "Pershing' and
Independence day by the citizens OF
Linn county, where the command
er of the American expeditionary
forces was born.
Il know how he walked calmly
ashore, greeted by generals and ad-
mirals," Doctor jenkins continued.
How he met king on equal terms,
and how the calm placidity of his
face, the measured quality of his
words and the level straightness Of
his eye impressed the British ma
ton from the king to the common
soldier. 1 know how he landed in
Europe. Upon the deck of the
ship he stood out from his
staff, not by unusual size, and not
by gaudy uniform, but by the in
herent impressiveness of his person
ality, so that when the French peo-
pie on the quay saw him approach
ing a sob caught in their throats
and they said to one another Truly
here comes man.
The minister, who spent consid-
cradle time in the war zone, in con-
nection with Red Cross work, out
lined the early life OF General Ohm
Pershing; how he struggled to OBJ
tian an education by earning his
way as a country school master;
his subsequent appointment to West
Point; his participation in the ia
nous Geronimo campaign and ms
bravery during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
He SO distinguished himself at
san Juan and Santiago" Doctor
Jenkins declared, that General
Baldwin said of him, I have been Ill
many fights through the civil war,
but this young captain is the cool
est man under fire | ever saw IN
my life
The speaker then outlined how
General Pershing. as an attache OF
the American government in To-
kio, had been W tn the Japanese

ing the Columbus, n. NJ, massacre,
"ostensibly to take Villa, but i'll
reality to mobilize and train an
army against the present great day
He spoke OF the tragedy in the
generals life when his family was
burned to death in fire at the San
Francisco Preside and OF the COM
mander's visit to the tombs OF Ma
poleon and Lafayette. Then veer-
ing the subject to his address into
war problems the speaker pointed
out that the present conflict has
four strange elements-war under
water, in the air, under ground and
with propaganda. He declared that
Yankee adaptability was overcom-
ing the submarine menace, that the
Zeppelin had already gone where
the woodbine twineth" that when
our air program was complete the
eyes of the enemy would be blinded
and that Americans understood not
only how to dig in, but with an In
dian fighter at their head, they
knew how to slip from under cover
and carry the fight into the en-
emy's lines.
Propaganda, the speaker warned,
was the problem for the people back
home and that we all must be on
guard against this subtle weapon.
Doctor enkins also paid high
tribute to General Foch. He said:
Il have every confidence in that
little French general, five feet, sew
en- inches tall, O. years old and look
ing SO, with an eye that blazes like
the eye OF Napoleon Bonaparte, and
with fighting face that at times
looks as if it were carved from
stone, the fightingest looking lit
tie general | saw in France, the
commander-in- chief of all the allied
forces, General Foch"
Ninety-five per cent of all the
people on earth, look with conf
dence to President Wilson, Doctor
enkins declared. He is the prime
minister OF mankind" the speaker
continued. That man who sits in
his White House pondering the
greatest problems that have ever
confronted a human brain"

Weather and Crop Conditions
Week Ending Tuesday, July 2

Intensely hot and dry weather
continued through the first half OF
the week, causing further damage
to corn, truck crops, gardens and
pastures. Cooler weather and
quite general rains during the lat
ter part benefited all crops, espe-
cially corn. The bulk of the corn
crop was saved, at least temporarily
by the rains and is still fair pros
pect. Much corn, however, has
been badly damaged, some consid-
cradle acreage beyond recovery.
Some damaged corn has been cut
for slage. Corn needs more rain
in many eastern, central and south
western counties in the near flu
ture. The sorghum grains and the
broomcorn stood the heat and
drought we'll and, while making
slow growth, are still thrifty and
promising.
The cotton crop, as a whole, IS
an excellent prospect. Squares
are setting to the northern limit
of the acreage and early planted is
blooming. In some dry localities
the plants are not growing and 4
few reports of shedding were re-
ceived. Practically the entire acre
age has been chopped to a good to
excellent stand, and most OF the
crop is well cultivated and free of
grass.
Large acreages of sweet potatoes

Plea for Cheerful Letters.
Editor Reformer:

Editor Reformer:
This is a plea for cheerful letters TO
our boys. Several instances of the
consequences of the "weepy" letter
from home have come to my attention
and prompt me to take up the cause
of the Cheerful Letter.
A returned Vermont FYo worker
tells me that the boys are depressed
many times, when they need uplift, by
receiving the long looked for home let
ter.
One of the boys on duty at a 24-hour
mess, where boys who have served "over
there have their first meal on home
soil, writes me that, their chief and gen.
eral complaint is that so many home
folks write them weepy letters instead
of oto-it-letters, and that it makes
them down-hearted instead of giving
them the pep they need.
So, Mothers, write cheerful letters
and write often. Your boy needs them
and the writing of such letter viii
| be an uplift for you, and will keel
you in closer touch with him.

NO MEN TO CAMPS

Provost Marshal General Issues Order
Stopping Entertainment of ALI the
Draftees for Present.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Because
of epidemics of Spanish influenza IN
army camps, Provost Marshal General
Crowder last night cancelled calls for
the entrainment between Oct. and !
of 10000 draft registrants. During the
twenty-four hours ending at noon yes
terday, 6,139 new cases of influenza
in army camps had been reported to
the office of the Surgeon. General of
the army. One hundred and seventy
deaths, resulting chiefly from pneumo-
MIA following influenza, and 723 new
cases of pneumonia were reported.
Two camps, Kearny, California, and
Eustis, Virginia, were added to the
list where influenza has made appear
ance, leaving only thirteen camps free
from the disease. The total number
of cases of influenza in all camps was
placed at 35,146, with 3,036 eases of
pneumonia. One out of every four men
at Camp Devens, Mass, has contracted
influenza, it was announced, and 10
per cent of the eases have developed
into pneumonia.
In cancelling the call for the entrain-
ment of the draft registrants early next
month, General Crowder acted upon in
structions from General March, chief of
staff. Every state and the District of
Columbia had quotas assigned, and the
men were to have gone to practically all
of the camps in the country. The men
probably will not be entrained until
after the influenza epidemic has been
| checked
1t was said at the office of the sur
geon general of the army last night that
every possible precaution is being taken
in all camps to check the spread of the
disease, but that despite all measures
it is believed that the disease viii run
its course and probably spread to still
other camps. Additional physicians and
nurses have been sent to camps where
the epidemic is most severe.

The former Leonard & Roess store in
Crosby block, which has been headquar-

relief, will remain open until o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Notwithstanding
the large amount of clothing that already
has been sent in by Brattleboro people,
it is expected that quantities more will
be contributed before the close of the
campaign tomorrow night.
Every kind of garment, for all ages and
both sexes, is urgently needed. In addi-
ton, piece goods, light, warm canton
flannel and other kinds of cloth from
which to make garments for newborn
babies, ticking sheeting, and blankets,
wooden goods of any kind-and shoes of
every size are asked for. Scrap leather is
needed for repairing footwear. Since
the clothes viii be subjected to the hard
