EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. w. Voboril)

Some teachers have failed to report
to me whether they expect to remain
change or leave the teaching profes-
sion.
The following material is being sent
out to each teacher with the bulletin:
l. A school engagement blank to be
handed to the school clerk.
2. Two Teachers Annual Report
Blanks, one to be sent to this office
within a week after school closes and
one to the district clerk. Extra copies
are sent to schools with more than
one teacher, so that the principal will
have less trouble in compiling the sta
tistics for the whole school
3. The teachers annual report OF
School Society to be sent in with the
Annual Reoprt.
4. A Teachers Retirement Fund
Blank. The teacher should answer as
many of the questions as possible and
then hand the blank to the District
Clerk. The law is compulsory for all
teachers who began teaching after
1911.
5. A pamphlet on the Rebinding OF
Books. This should be stamped as
property of School District No. --,
and placed in the pamphlet case that
every school should have. Before do
ing so be sure to make out a list OF
books in the library, including die
tionaries, that need rebinding. Only
such books that are worth 75c or more
and whose pages are not badly torn
should be rebound.
6. Library lists, Please mark with
cross all the books on the list that
you find in the library We will select
from the remaining list the books that
yourMschool is to receive. Please be
very careful in checking this list so
that we don't send you books that you
already have. These library lists must
be returned within a week after you
receive them.
Don't forget your Teachers Report
for your successor. This should con-
tain daily program, the names of
pupils in each class, the work they
were doing when school closed, char
acteristics of various pupils, such as,
weak eye sight, nervous, mischieyous,
sensitive, backward, week minded, etc.
This report enables the new teacher
to take hold in much less time and do
much better work for she learns what
to expect from various pupils.
Any teacher who expects to retire
from the profession is entitled to one
half of the money paid by her to re-
tirement fund, provided she applies to
the Board of Trustees of the Teachers
Retirement Fund, Madison, Wis, for
this refund within six months after
the time when she leaves the profess
sion.

We notice in a late number of the
Quincy, (Ill.) Herald that our former
and highly esteemed fellow Citizen,
Col. X. K. Jones, has been disposing of
his beautiful country residence, well
known as the Pines" near that flour
ishing city. The price received by him
was $2O,O0O-a very large sum, but
not an extra vagrant one when we
consider the handsome property, its
appurtenances, and surroundings. n
consisted of 40 acres, and was said~a
few years ago to be the best cultivated
and ornamental tract of its size in
Illinois.

Offices were not created for any par
ticular persons, but as instrumental
ties by and through which the people
are to manage their own public af-
fairs, and they fill these offices with
such persons as majority of them
may at each recurring term thereof,
choose. If the people run wild and
make mistakes as they have done dur
ing the past ten or more years and
elect republicans to fill these offices,
it is their own misfortune; but the
sad results of the past need not be
repeated in the future if democrats
would learn to do their whole duty
and stand by the principles of their
party, and cease to follow the lead of
ambitious men who seek office at the
hands of democrats, and when they
fail of success, run elsewhere, and
whose motto is, IF we cannot rule
the party, we will ruin it," Democrats
will ever have their differences in
their selection of men to fill offices,
but if they would bury these differ
ences when their conventions have
made nominations, all will !, come out
right in the end. 1t has been disap-
pointed democrats who were the chief
recruiting officers to swell the ranks
of their political opponents and give
them their present power, and we
hope to see less of these things in the
future.

PROHIBITION SPREADS
USE OF OPIUM IN u. S,

More opium per capita--from ten
70 eighty times as much-is con-
sumed annually in the United States
than In any other country from
which reliable records can be OBJ
tanned. This is one of a series Of
startling disclosures made by a
committee appointed by the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury.
Concerning the possible effect OF
prohibition In relation to the use of
habit-forming drugs. the committee
says:
What effect. IL any, nationwide
prohibition will have on the sjtua-
tion could not be definitely deter
mined. The consensus OF opinion OF
those interested in the subject ap-
pears to be to the effect that the
number Of addicts will increase as
soon as the prohibition laws are
enforced. These opinions are
based. for the most part. on the
theory that drinkers will seek q
substitute for alcohol. and that
cpiates and cocaine will be found
most satisfactory for this purpose.
This opinion apparently receives
some support from investigations
made in some of the Southern
States where prohibition has been
in effect for some years. II has
been noted that in these States the
sales of narcotic drugs and cocaine
have greatly Increased during this
period"

CHICAGO GRAIN.
~ JosEPH r. PRITcHARD.

Chicago. June I2.--Corn advanced SIC to &c
today. Bear shorts were completely routed.
many being driven to cover at sharp losses.
Ths June run Of corn seemed to be at an
end and normal receipts were expected. Cash
corn was 10 to % higher.
The Crop killer was in evidences in the
market. kilograms chased each other from
nearly every section Of the corn belt. They
told Of wet weather and ravishes OF cut worms
army worms and chinch bugs Reseeding will
be necessary in scattered sections.
One reason for an expected decrease in corn
movement was that the gpvenment will not
permit corn or other grain ia be stored when
elevator room Is needed for wheat
Higher prices would have prevailed had it not
been for heavy selling Of longs. Little corn was
sold in the way OF putting out short lines.
and sales worthy OF mention were recorded
in the way CT putting hodges against corn
espected to come forward. Some selling was
said to Be on account Of country spectators.
There were mose bulls than bears in the oats
market and net gains Of X to "a were shown.
Strength in corn was a steadying factor in oats.
Rains were reported where badly needed in the
Northwest. Breadth Of the market showed i'm
proyement and small lots were reported taken
for the interior.
Provisions advanced and lard went to new
high price. Pork showed gains Of 7oc to a-ao;
lard. T1sc to s21tc, and ribs. altc TO &c.

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Jrre IA stronger tone deyel-
ebed in the cotton market today on fairly gen
eral buying. after prices had suffered losses in
the first part Of the session. Bullsh crop ad-
vices from parts of the belt helped the buying
movcn ent and also brought in fresh speculative
purchasing orders. and business as a whole late
in the day showed more activity than earlier.
Indications Of an ecsser ocean freight market
had bullish effect Advices from dry goods
circles said that there never had been any
thing to equal the goods market of yesterday.
Buying for the account Of trade interests ab-
sorbed much Of the cotton offering late in the
day and the undertone ruled generally firm. The
cio'e was steady at net advance of 2s to 90
points
spot at New Orleans was steady with mid
ding s. points higher at 81. Sc; the sales were
500 bales Spot here was steady at an sd
vance Of 50 points at 32s6c; there were no
sales
Port receipts for the day amounted TO 2o5 80
bsles. while reports Aggravated l6.l5 bales.
