THRESHING IS CHECKED

Owing to frequent rains in var
ious parts of the county, the pro-
.gress the past week in wheat
threshing was not as great as ex-
pected. and the work is being con-
tinued with every threshing out
fit in the county busily engaged
and far ahead with orders, as for
that, since the cutting of oats is
now on and this will follow the
wheat harvent, which is said, af-
ter computing results during the
past ten days, to be very satisfac-
tory, with the exception of some
highlands where the grain did not
sho was heavy a yield as usual,
Indications are reported good for
an unusual crop of oats, which, it
is claimed, will make up to great
extentfi the lack of wheat being
lighter than usual in some local
tiles.

Is YEARS
BROTHERS MEET HERE

Just quarter of century ago
at Arlington, Va, two young men
started out to make their way,
and about. all they had was the
best wishes of their parents and
the whole world to make it in.
They are H. J. Glover and A. G..
Glover, the former superintendent
of the street paving work in
Richmond, and the lattes an auto
bile manufacturer in Chicago.
Saturday afternoon the two men
met for the first time at the L. &
n. railway, Richmond. With Mr..
H. !. Glover, was young man,
his son, also in charge of part
of the work here, and he met his
uncle for the first time. The
brothers, despite the Is years
apart, instantly recognized one
another, and there was a hearty
handshake and confidential
talk for a moment, after which
the younger man was introduced.

genial man in charge of the local
work, eve have both been SO busy

MANY RECORDS
FOR HALF YEAR
Eastern Normal Officials Jubilant
Over First Six Months of
School Period

A decided change is being wit
messed in the change at Eastern
Normal, with the close of one of
the most successful summer
schools in the history of the insti-
tuition, and some of the faculty
a limited rest, the work of
rebuilding and the annual inn
provement generally is in evil
dence. There will be many
changes throughout the institu-
ton this year, beginning with the
new dormitories, the rebuilding of
the storage sheds, a part of which
was destroyed by fire some time
ago, and other changes being
made.
The Y. NJ. C. A. and Y. w. c. A.
work will again be in evidence to
a great extent in the near future
The new extension work, as we'll
as the changes in some of the de
partments of learning, comprising
the new mode of bookkeeping, as
well as, others, including the COR
respondence schools, will render
facilities, it is believed, better
than ever.
The first half year has. been
very encouraging to President
Coates, as we'll as others in the
official corps, and unusual rehec-
ton upon their ability is cast,
since the period has been produc-
tive of new records in various
ways. There will be additional
instructors and it is expected that
the number of students for the
fall term will be the greatest in
the schools history.
The matter of pptfing buildings
in condition for the winter. as
well as procuring coal for winter
months, together with innumer-
able other duties will keep much
OF the business personnel of the
institution steadily engaged until
the time arrives for opening of
school. The addition of the room
quarters will be one of the most
important ones during the pres
ent year. The records will show
an unusual increase in instruction
generally.
The several hundred students.
many of whom have completed
their studies, are engaged in
school work. and the number fur
nished by Madison county this
year will be out Of the ordinary,
and rapid strides have been made
since this is proving to be the
concentration point for finished
instructors for the state, and is
recognized as such by the super
of the schools in the
greater cities coming here for
teachers.

A FATAL MISTAKE
Tom Morris Drank Whislley After He
Was III and 1t Shortened
His Iifc.

According to an Omaha press dis
patch, there died ,ast week ia the
town Of Ainsley. Neb.. a cobbler nam
ed Thomas Morris, who was born in
Wales in l7s4 when George Washing
ton was president. and who came to
Nebraska when he was nearly seventy
years Of age. or him the dispatch
says that his l17th year is distin-
guished by his last fishing trip, for
which he walked one mile and half
to Clear Creek bringing back good
catches" He quit work at 1O6. No
body will deny that he was entitled
to retire on his hundredth birthday.

skeptic and critic OF centenarianism,

that Old Tom was 1876. but we must
utterly deny and reject the unworthy
and prcverse theory expression in the
Omaha dispatch:
The last days OF Old Tom were
not happy since May /. 1918. He
could never understand why he
should be deprived of his woll-beloved
rope his pet name for whisky. 1t
was his panacea for the ailments Of
his lifetime. He also smoked a pipe"
This shows us how the unhappy
ancient shortened his days. Had he
nevor weakened himself, hanged him
self, 50 to speak, by that fatal rope
had he never been the victim of the
unholy herb Nicotian, can there be
any doubt that he would still breathe

NO MORE APPRENTICES

Reasons for the ShOriagc

Every employer Of labor in this

and that is that there is no one at
present that is learning trade,
which is the prime factor in the
shortage of help in that line. Almost

now are for men with trades, There
is some demand, in some sections,
for common labor, but the call for
skilled artisans and mechanics far
exceeds that for common labor. 1t

II Is becoming harder to learn a
trade. too. Speculation prevails in
the shops to such an extent that the
