PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE
 GOOD ENROLMENT

The first week at the public school ended with the following enrolment:
 Kindergarten, 25; Al Brannen, 25; B-1 Brannen, 20; Al Emerson, 19; B-1, Emerson, 19; and 3 Brannen, 22; 2, Emerson, 31; 3 Emerson, 45; 4 Emerson, 31; 5, Emerson, 21; 6 Elm erson, 26; z, Emerson, 29; 8, Emerson, 27; 9, Emerson, 32; 10 Emerson, IA. ~
 The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades are to De found up stairs at the Emerson. They work on differ ent schedule from that of the lower grades. The boys of the upper grades have military drill on Mondays, We'd nesdays and Fridays, while the girls of these grades have gymnasium work at the same time. This work is done out of doors and is very satisfactory at present; but bad weather and snow will interfere during the winter.
 The lower grades are we'll accom- modated with the exception of the third, which has 45 already and is cer- tain to have many more during the year. This is too many for one room and is too many to expect satisfac- tory results from one teacher.
 The spirit manifest among the teachers was never better and all indi- cations point to successful year.
 Parents are cordially invited to visit the school, meet the teachers, and find out at first hand what their children are accomplishing.

MISS WHEELER NEW CRITIC
 TEACHER AT THE NORMAL

The Normal School announces that Miss Clara M. Wheeler, who has a national reputation in elementary school work, especially in connection with the development of the project method, has accepted the third grade critic position in the training school.
 Miss Wheeler comes from the Teachers college, Greeley, Colorado, where she has spent the last two years. Previous to that time, she was director of private school near New York City. She first gained promin- ence as first grade critic teacher in the famous Horace Mann school, in connection with Teachers college, Columbia university.
 Under the guidance of Dr. McMurry and Dr. Fitzpatrick, she has arrived at a school philosophy that causes her to be in great demand for institute work and draws to her students from a wide range of territory.
 The Normal school feels that it is to be congratulated upon obtaining Miss Wheeler.

 The barber gasped and said no more. After his customer had gone, some one told him that he had shaved the Speaker.

 How really good it seems to get into the swing again of studying and discussing books and authors. The members of the Shakespeare Club are enjoying to the full the clever little mystery tale of "Puddin' Head Will son", the once so popular novel of Mark Twain. A little glimpse again of old time Missouri life when the boats played to and fro down the river and touched the life of the little sleepy towns--what a life it must have been.
 Mrs., Rees was the leader for last Monday night and carried with fine spirit the lesson for the evening. Each member assisted and this invar- iably makes for good meeting.

But we cant continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their

Without railroad expansion-more en-
gineS, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it,
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and increase production
there must be public confidence in the

receiving such wonderful benefits
from them. Foryears. l was a sufferer
with Kidney and Liver Complaints.
My back ached; my liver was
sluggish and my whole system
seemed out of order.
'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy
to help me. They strengthened the
kidneys, made my bowels move
regularly and freed me of all the
distress caused from the kidney
trouble, constipation and Indigestion.
A few weeks treatment with
Fruit -tives' made me feel as if I
had a new lease on life, and am glad
