One Of the teachers said today that
no teacher in the Keokuk schools, ex-
cept the principals and one or two
special teachers is receiving the mini
mum wage today.
The bulletin explains the existence
wage as paying for those least fit to
undertake the responsibility Of teach

worry about the future.
A thrift wage brings relief from
worry but leaves the mind and soul
Ihungering for things which the teach,

A culture wage includes the other
two and "eQuips the teacher for great.

ments come under the head of a cul.

II There's Anything in Old Saying
About Monday Governing the
Week, Much May be Ac-
rs+ complished.

"As goes Monday. SO goes all the
rest of the week" II there is any
truth in that saying, then the meet

Word to Men" He said that Gods
last word is for men to repent and
turn away from their sin that they
may find forgiveness and receive a
fathers blessing. mot because of his
wrath, but because Of his love- the
speaker said" is God asking us to re-
ipent. There is no other reason IN the
world why he should forgive except
that he loves US. God never compels
anyone to repent, but there is always
the tremendous possibility that we
may repent and have all our sins for
given and plotted out of Gods r>mem-
brance."
Mr. Moore has announced the fol-
lowing subjects for the week: To.
night he shall speak on the subject,
