TRAIN ON BOARD SHIP
Olympic Team Finds No Let Down in
Program During Trip.


Aboard u. S. S. Frederick, Aug. 4.
Naval athletes bound for the Olym-
pic games at Antwerp have kept in
good physical trim during the ocean
voyage by daily workouts. The ath-
letes expect to arrive at Antwerp on
Friday. They are anxious to get the
final training for the contests under
way.
Cold. snappy weather caused the
men to put additional pep into their
workouts today. H. D. Liversedge,
the crack navy shotputter. heaved the
16-pounder a distance of Al feet 6
inches on the deck of the Frederick.
The Princess Matoika. carrying the
army and CIVILIAN contingents of the
team which will represent the United
States at the Olympic meet meet was
reported 200 miles behind the Fred
erick today. Wireless reports to the
Frederick said the athletes aboard the
Princess Matoika were standing the
trip well and would be in excellent
physical condition on arrival. The
Princess Matoika contingent will reach
Antwerp a day after the naval ath-
letes.

PLENTY OF TEACHERS NOW :
Increase in Salaries Keeps Up Force
Over Kansas.


Over Kansas.
That Kansas will not experience a
shortage of school teachers the com
ing school year. is the consensus of re-
ports received at the office of State
superintendent Wooster. from all
parts of the state The generous in
crease in wages offered by all public
schools has put the teaching profession
back on a plane with other pursuits,
especially as to woman employment
Miss Wooster reports.
It is estimated that the rural dis
tricts, in which wages for a one-teach-
er school of S125 TO $3.50 are common.
have doubled the teachers salary as
compared with pre-war times. City
schools and high schools. it is esti-
mated, have advanced teachers wa yes
from so to 20 per cent
More of a demand for high school
teachers is heard than for elementary
teachers, Miss Wooster reports indf-
eating that the supply Of the higher
grade teachers is not so great as those
qualified only for teaching the lower
grades. The demand for high school
teachers has been greatly augmented
by the rapid increase of rural high
schools. 1t also is pointed out that as
a rule the rural highs" pay better
wages than do the city schools Many
teachers would prefer to teach in A CITY
because of the city environment, while
the rural high school instructors have
to live either in small towns or in the
country.
In five years the rural high schools
have grown in numbers to about two
hundred; the popularity of these
schools has been quite phenomenal, -
said Miss Wooster. They pay their
principals from 1000 to $4,000 a year
and other instructors from $500 to
$1,000. These schools. which feature
vocational education, are experiencing
some difficulty in obtaining vocational
training instructors, but otherwise the
prospect is that the teaching staffs will
be filled when school opens next
month

City Precincts
Ran Short c. O. p.
Ballots Early

Thei unexpected demafYd for Re-
publican ballots Tuesday resulted in a
Shortage" in at least two precincts
according to unofficial reports. It was
stated that in the Second ward in the
Santa Fe shop district, one precinct
was short sixty and another eighteen
or twenty Republican ballots. Off
cial reports from the two precincts
have not been received by the city
clerks office this morning. The
shortage it was said, resulted in about
seventy-five persons in the two pre-
cincts losing their votes.
Democrats all over the city called
for Republican ballots in order to vote
against Allen. This caused the short
age. The Republicans stood by help
less, unable to challenge.

COUNT WAS VERY SLOW
New Boards, Long Ballots and Poor
System Held Up Returns.

At O'Clock this morning six of the
city precincts had not finished count

count in the other thirty precincts was
complete.
The delay in getting complete re-
any long ballot, the poor system in
which the books were arranged and
large number of new members on the
election boards The primary ballot
is always much more difficult to count
owing to the large number of candi-
dates. In most cases members of cleo
ton boards who had never served be-
work required much more time to fin
ish the count than the more expert
enced clerks and judges. 1t was also
true that in some cases the vote in
certain precincts was double that in
others.
The returns announced by The State
Journal Tuesday night were obtained
eral different methods of counting
were employed in the various pre-
cincts. In some cases the entire vote
on preSidentia electors was counted
first, thus making it impossible to get
any returns on county offices in that
precinct until very late Tuesday night
or early this morning.
Several county precincts were
