STATE MEETING
Of EDUCATORS
Teachers To Gather In Four
Cities on Thanksgiving
for seth Annual
Meeting

Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 22.-Accord-
ing to F. L. Pinet, Secretary Of the
Kansas State Teachers Association,
Thanksgiving week will mark the
largest convention of Kansas teachers
ever held. Despite the setback Of the
Spanish influenza epidemic which
forced the postponment Of the conven-
ton dates, the prospects are now
bright for four great teachers meet-
ings,-in the cities Of Topeka, Salina,
Wichita and PittsburgS-on Novem-
Der %, 20 and 80. "When we found
that we were forced to postpone the
meetings." said Mr.. Pinet today, 1--WE
decided that the Thanksgiving vaca-
ton would be the best time, for by
selecting these dates it would be pos
sible to combine their Thanksgiving
holiday with the Association meeting,
and the schools would lose no addi-
tional time. Many of the progressive
schools are not only giving to their
teachers the two days, Nov. % and 2S.
for the meetings, but some, notably
Lawrence, Winfield, EmpOria and 9TH
ers are paying part Of the expenses
of the teachers who attend the meet
ings."
Among the big attractions for the
meetings are DR.. Newell Dwight Hill
lis, pastor of the First Congregational
Church, N. Y. City, who spent the past
summer on the battle front in Bel
gium, France, Italy and the Holy
Land, and who will give his great lee
ture 1.-THE Hun at Bay" ut all four
cities; DR.. Thos. D. Wood, the famous
health expert of Columbia University;
Lieutenant Bruno ROselli Of the ltal-
ian Embassy; Lieutenant Bagues OF
the French Army; DR.. c. S. Nusbaum'
Field Director at Large for the Am
erican Red Cross; Maud Powell, the
worlds leading violinist, and DR.. Ed
ward A. Steiner, the noted immigra-
tion authority, who will speak on
1.-THE War for Brotherhood" In ad-
dition there will be nearly a score OF
strictly professional Out-Of-state
speakers who will discuss vita school
problems before the department meet
ings.

sacrifice made by these men. There Is
no nobler death than to die for ones

at is for US to be here dedicated 70
the great task remaining before us;
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; and that this world, un-
der God, shall have q new birth Of
freedom"
1t is hereby ordered by q standing
vote Of this assemblage Of citizens
that this resolution be published In the
newspapers of this city and district
and that copies be prepared in such

honor here tonight, that they may

AS you read the terms that Austria
has accepted, you echo perhaps the
opinion that they are very drastic.
AS a matter of fact, such terms in
ancient warfare would have been con-
sidered the mildest, gentlest terms
imaginable.
In history not so ancient beseiged
cities, after suffering hunger and
thirst for a certain period, would offer
unconditional surrender if the lives Of
the citizens were spared. That was
refused usually, and when the city
was captured all were massacred, men,
women and children. 1t happened not
once but thousands of times. 1t was
the regular thing.

A healthy negro slave was worth
one thousand dollars-you would have
had to pay that to his owner to give

By Frank d. Hills,
in Miami Record Herald

The Laclede Lead and Zinc Com
pany has just shot into a top run Of
lea dand jack that is extra rich, which
has never been worked, although the
mine has been operated a year.
In testing out the lease the drill
showed q top run that assayed as high
as 48 per cent, but until now no effort
has been made 10 work 1t.
A few days ago the company de-
cided to try for the deposit and shot
was made in the field at 140 feet.
when at the first round splendid stuff
was discovered. The drill record
showed, in one hole, two feet Of al
most solid lead and nothing for the
next ten feet, which caused the opera
tors to believe that lead cave, such
as has been found in the deeper run
exists there and an effort will be made
to find the great riches that are be-
lieved to exist there.
The Laclede people have built an
other Derr thickener and installed a
set of high speed rolls to try to beat
the failing piles out of some Of the
riches that have been going there.

And William the Conqueror, cor
nerstone of modern British greatness,
added touch of his own after cap
turing one city by taking the princi-
pal citizens, having them skinned and
hanging their hides on the city wall.
They had insulted the mother of the
Conqueror, who happened to be the
daughter of humble tanner. Those
who worry about 'dllegitimate war
children" may remember with COM
fort that the Conqueror was illegiti-
mate, but prospered.
Read in Winwood Reade's Martyr
dom of Man" about the siege and con-
quest of Carthage. Only dead bodies
were left to tell the tale of the de-
Tenders. The city was levelled to the
ground, the site on which it stood
ploughed up and salt scattered so that
the grass might not grow.

The DOLLAR BARGAIN plan,
which will be followed by Baxter
Springs on three special trade induce
ment days, December 5th, 9Th and
7th has been tested in many other
Kansas towns and has worked out in
a highly satisfactory way. The coop
erative idea makes for strength and
good towns. Once the cooperative
spirit enters into any trade PROPOSE
ton, It is greatly simpl!fed. Another
feature is the scattering Of the en-
pense SO that nobody has to contrib

The oko Lead and Zinc Company
has begun to install jigs at its lease
between Picher and North Century,
near the Premier.
More than thousand tons of ex-
tremely rich ore is on top Of the
ground at the shafts and it is thought
that the jigs will be able to clear
enough to build mill in short order
as many others have done recently.
The property has been well devel-
oped, two shafts having been sunk to
the ore and quite a lot of drifting
done. Splendid buildings have been
erected there but it has not been
thought wise to build mill as yet.

The Tar River mine southwest Of
Douthat became a great fish trap last
week when Tar Creek went on a
rampage and was too feet deep over
the shaft.
The water from the creek filed the
diggings and went out through the
open ground, leaving the floor Of the
mine almost carpeted with fish.
The Tar River company lately in
stalled hand jigs but on account OF
the flu and high water have not been
able to do any great amount Of work
with them.
AS soon as the mine can be freed
from the mud and fish, operations will
be started again, according to Man
ager w. C. Miller.

Read Cromwell's brief message to

The world has become much gentler
now, only taking guns, submarines,
warships and disbanding enemy arm
les to keep them out of mischief.
The sunny day has come for Italy
at last. The oldest Italians can re-
member the day in January, 1859,
when King Victor Emmanuel thrilled
the Parliament of Italy, describing
the Italian cry of anguish I'll GridO
del dOlOre" as he announced that
former war against Austria. Never
was greater excitement seen in any
assembly than on that occasion.
And never was disappointment more
powerfully expressed than by the
Italian patriot, Ricasoli, when the
treacherous peace of Villafranca put
an end for the time to Italy's hopes.
"After that peace" said Ricasoli, II
spat upon my life" ("HO sputatO sulla
mia vita").
Italy has held to the idea of hber-
ty, in good times and bad, and now
safety, power permanent national de-
velopment have come.
North and northeast the boundaries
of Italy will be made by this peace
what they should be.

where many convenient ports and re-
fuges for enemy ships have threaten
ed Italy's unprotected coast, Italy will
be protected as she should be.

The operators Of the Tri-State Field
met at Joplin Saturday night to con-
fer on the ore situation and make an
effort to line up with the smelters as
has been suggested by Government
officials at Washington.
1t is claimed that the smelter men
are not living up to the schedule and
it seems that the operators do not
censure them to any great extent, as
it seems that there is SO much ore in
the field that it is easy to get it at a
price much less.
1t is believed that some way will be
found to get better price as it is not
probable that the Government will al
low the mines in the greatest district
to close down because they are not
getting a price that will justify them
to run.
The outcome of the session will be
watched with interest, as it means
much to the field.

As a prophet he lived up to a repu-

but has lived in this country long
enough to read the signs pretty ac-

The decision of the Joplin News
Herald and Joplin Globe to cut down
on the amount of news handled from
outside of Joplin is considerable of a
natural consequence. Two columns of
news from east of Joplin and two col
umns from west of Joplin, we under
stand, is the arrangement. In the
two columns west of Joplin must be
condensed the news of Picher, Miami,
Cardin, Douthit, St. Louis, Treece.
Hockerville, Crestline, Columbus, Qua
paw, Peoria, Galena and other small
Kansas and Missouri towns. We un-
derstand this arrangement may be
permanent. The expense of securing
and handling outside news is con-
stantly rising and as in Baxter
Springs the home papers of the towns
have grown to a point where their cir
culations cover much more than the
outside papers and the outside papers
must necessarily print only second
hand news. For months news in the
Joplin Globe and News Herald has
been almost verbatim rehash Of the
previous issue of the Daily Citizen.
This could be done in the office with
out hiring men to do it from here.
The press service Of the Baxter Daily
Citizen and the Miami papers has
caused a great falling of in circula-
ton of the Joplin papers throughout
