from the old family home in tlarri-
son county, Ohio. to the TAR west.
The made by way of Wheel

Il boat down the Ohio and up the
Mississippi and issouri rivers to what
is now Kansas City. There they lett
the boat and proceeded to their des-
tination. Mulberry. in the western
part OF this col,n'.- where they ar
rived April 20, 1860.
Among those left behind in the old
Ohio home was little Fndlay Bradcn,
playmate and cousin OF X. l.. Braden.
They were born i'll the same house
and that was their first separation.
Since then the cousins have ex-
changed 4 lew letters but have never
met Friday morning Mr.. Bradcn
was called 70 his door by an elderly
stranger VIII" said that he was look
ing for little boy that he used to
play with more than sixty years age.
With this hint Mr.. Braden recos-
nizcd the elderly stranger as his
cousin, Findlay Rraden Happy
hours were spent by these gentlemen
going over the few boyhood expert
ences that they could both recall ard
telling each other their experiences
during the long years since they last
met.

Friday afternoon. Jan. 9th. There
were I4o teachers present and fine
spirit prevailed throughout the meet
ing. DR.. Morris, of Warrensburg was
present and delivered an address. DR..
Morris showed clearly the depressing
effect of the teacher situation.-Hc
cited cases where college graduates
were leaving the profession OF teach
ing because Of the low salaries re-
ceived. He showed that teachers are
placed in the same class with janitors
SO tar as salaries are concerned; that
hod carriers and street sweepers arc
receiving more pay per year than the
teacher. He showed that teachers
must unite their efforts rather than
separate them as has been the case
i'll the past before proper support can
be received. He stated that we must
have. some needed school legislation,
and especially new constitution for
the State.
alter DIR. Morris address the mat
ter of organization was taken up and
discussed. 1t was decided that it
would be more convenient ior the

Ing the 1910 1920 and 1900-1910 perl
DDS are available.
These comparisons show that the
1874 cities and towns made an aver
age gain Of IS per cent between 1900
and 1910. but during the 19l0i920
period the average gain for the same
places was only 26 per cent.
The increases In rural districts In.
variably are smaller than In the cities.
This ID shown by the fact that. while
the 1874 cities and towns gained IS
per cent from 1900 to 1910. the entire
country showed q gain Of only q per

The percentage gain Of the entire

eoIshexiki Refuse Armistiee.

London The reply of the Russian
soviet government 10 the British note
concerning an armistice with Poland
rejects In substance the British peace
proposal. The Bolsheviki decline to
come to London, because they say
Great Britain Is not impartial. They
also object to the admission to the
conference of delegates from the Bal
tic states. saying Russia already has
made peace with them. As TO Poland.
the B0lshevist government points out
that the proposed armistice line is un
fair to Poland, and that with direct
negotiations the B0lshevlki are pre-
pared TO grant Poland much more
favorable frontier. The tone OF the
reply Is sarcastic and Is aimed at driv-
Ing a wedge between Poland and the
allies by stimulating Polish dissatis-
faction at the British proposal. The
reply will make II more difficult for

a thread all through the proceedings
Of the last session. For example, here
are a few remarks BY Senator King
Of Utah:
The executive departments and In.
strumentalities Of the government
seek to extend their authority; they
clamor for huge appropriations. The
condition Of the country and the treas
ury do not influence them. During
the congress we have witnessed de-
mands from executive officers for hi.

SHIFTING STATUE OF LIBERTY

the Rookie Cob.

The destroyer Sharkey. which ar

during the night the tide shifted 1t

This transformation was most per-
