of the Doe Run schools for next year.
Mr.. Vented comes highly recommend

For the Teachers Reading Circle
this year the Board has adopted four
excellent books: Fundamentals in Ele-
mentary Education, History of Mis-
souri,, Language Work in Elementary
Schools, and World Patriots. Each
will fill distinct field and will be of
much value to teachers. The Read
ing Circle course will consist of AT
least two books. Any two books may
be selected. A review of each of the
books follows:
Fundamentals in Elementary Edu-
cation, by Claude A. Phillips, Head of
the Department of Education, and
Dean of the Faculty State Normal
School, Warrensburg, Mo. List 1925,
R. c. price $1.10.
Young teachers often wish for a
practical book dealing with all the
larger phases of school work-a kind
of manual of procedure to be re-
ferred to rs an authority on any prob
lem of method or administration.
Phillips Fundamentals is such 4
book. 1t deals with such practical
things as heating, ventilating, and
lighting the school room, making pro-
grams, keeping records, laying out
play grounds, teaching the various
subjects, organizing the course of
study, giving vocational and social
emphasis to the work, applying psy-
chology, and doing many other useful
things which are required of the mod
ern teacher. 1t epitomizcs modern ed
ucation practice and applies the
standard method of procedure and
evaluation to every problem likely TO
be encountered by the teacher of ru-
raj or city school. 1t is a book not
only for teachers of little experience,
but also for those of years of service
who wish to keep abreast of the
times. .,a. -...,. .. ......

.y CATTLE.--The dry weather move
ment of cattle continues and virtually
the big end of the surplus has consist
ed of that class of cattle, both steers
Gnd she-stuff, and there has been rei-
atively few well conditioned cattle of
any character included in the receipts.
In the case of the good c0rn-fed
Northern beeves advances of fully
25c has developed through the scare
ity of such kinds, though there has
been a noticeable lack of the toppy
varieties, and the common grassy and
all classes of stockcrs and feeders,
which were in abundance, have moved
very slowly, with little or no change
noted compared with a week ago. By
far the greater proportion of the re-
ceipts were common to medium grades
of cows, heifers, bulls and mixed cat
tie, and while they at the start of the
week moved with some life, the trade
since has weakened perceptibly, show
ing an average decline of 25c per
cwt., and outside of the strictly good
corn-fed cattle the market otherwise
is about at the lowest point it has
been any time since last fall, and there
seems to be no relief in sight until
good local or general rains through
out this section are received. In the
event this takes place in the very
near future, we are confident that the
market will promptly react upon any
suitable rainfall.
HOGS.-The trade on good hogs, in
fact the general market, has reached
a point that it is harder to annex any
strength in the trade than it has been
for some ime, owing to the fact that
the situation has been buoyed up un-
til it is the highest that it has been
since last fall. but competition has
been very limited from packer
standpoint, they showing no DISPOSE
ton to follow the advance, except
where forced under drastic circum-
stances, due to competition of our
side buyers. As rule what advance
that has been shown on the good
northern hogs, amounting to 25c per
cwt., it.has been accomplished through
the competition of city butchers and
Eastern order operators, they work
ing the market up to $500 basis
today.
, In marked contrast to this advance
has been the reglectful attention Civ
en- the plain hogs, or anything from
the, South. These naturally came un-
der packer. scrutiny and they are not
one. penny higher than last weeks
close, in fact they are more or less
rclegated to the rear, and for this
reason from day to day good many
loads have been carried over.
SHEEP.-The proportion of lambs
continues heavy and buyers have tax
en-, advantage Of the opportunity read
iy. The general situation shows a
break in prices from 75c to slips per
cwt., compared with a week ago, the
very best lambs at this writing real

been credited with discovering the
strange tribe, agrees with Bower
that he did not find them first. He

GERMAN FOOD SUPPLY

Whether the German food supply
is sufficient to last for another year
of war is being debated in German
newspapers with signs of apprehen.
sion.
Calculations warrant the belief
that we can hold out provided the
most stringent measures are taken
to regulate clandestine traffic in
food" says the Cologne Volkzeitung.
Its estimate is based on figures show
ing the German food supply collected
by Stegerwald, a member of the Prus-
sian Diet.
Nevertheless" adds the paper.
"Stegerwald's figures show that we
have Siegfried position also at home
The significance of this lies in the
fact that the Siegfried position on the
western front went down before Allied
attacks.
After endeavoring to bolster up the
waning confidence of the Germans.
the Volkszeitung says
MEAT distribution must be further
curtailed Cattle have decreased three
million head compared with last year
while the number of pigs has been
very seriously reduced. Meatless days
must be maintained and consumption
Of game and poulty reduced under
much more severe control. Measures
must be devised whereby all classes
will be treated alike and clandestine
slaughter be ruthlessly suppressed.

ply corn is expectable but both coun.

Our men who first Joined Great
Britain and France when the struggle
for French existence was all but fad
ing into defeat,--the men who saw
every inch of the ground, they took
plowed and torn with shell,-these
heroes who did our fighting, are the
greatest among Americans today
They have won their fight and the
world is freed of the greatest menace
that has faced civf1ization IN all time
The greatest war mankind has ever
engaged in is now over.
Months, and years possibly, will be
spent by the. nations who have won

chies of Europe. All Europe will re-
quire policing for time, for those
Countries staging this conflict are
shattered and wrecked. The new gov
erment must be set up for the safety
of the people left to pursue the ways
of peace and industry in the future.
and above all, the last word must be
written so that another war cannot
take place. There must be peace in
the earth!
On Bonded knee in France there
must be grateful people today
thanking the true God for this deliv-
erance. In every home, at every fire
side throughout the civilized world.
the gratitude of millions will go up,
because the hand of the oppressor
has been stayed
Since the world first turned in its
orbit, the freedom of governm
the liberties of men, have never been
so cirumscribed as during the years
that Germany has kept the fires OF
war raging. Today their guns are
hushed. The roar of Krupps guns will
be no more. For thousand years,
let us hope, only the vines will cling
to the rusting mouth of the sixteen
inch cannon with which brave Ameri.
cans drove the enemy from his
haunts.
While we celebrate today the VIC
tory our fighting men have won,
while we chisel the names of those
who will never return upon the mar

be thankful to God. The victory is
ours. Gods in the Heavens; alls
