Less House Slippers.

The sales Of house slippers have fallen
off 80 per cent in the last ten years,
according to travelling shoe salesman
who recently made Webster City, and
this fact furnishes much food for
thought.
Added to the fact that people are now
buying automobiles instead of daven-
ports, and face powder and hand lotion
instead of cherry pitters and bread
pans, this latest advancement" indi-
Gates that the old injunction put on
your slippers and fill up your pipe" will
soon be as out of date as home made
bread. One might easily be justified in
the belief that homes are degenerating
into places to eat and sleep-sOmetimeS
Undoubtedly the increasing restless.
ness and outside activities of the fam
lily together with business and social in
terests have caused many an easy chair
and pair of house slippers to be dis
carded
Anyway, the fact remains that only
half as many house slippers are being
sold now as ten years ago. Account for
it anyway you can.

GIRL IS HURT IN
AN AUTO ACCIDENT
H. w. SOltOW Ford Runs Into
Frank Malcolm car
Parked at Curb.

Failure of an automobile driver to
obey the ordinance directing all auto
mobile drivers to dim their lights when
approaching another car was responsi-
bic last evening for an automobile acct
dent which occurred in front Of the
Frank Malcolm residence Mt 1882 Second
street, according to II. w. Soltow,
superintendent Of the National Retarder
factory, who was in the accident. Mr..
Soltow was driving his Ford along Sec
1nd street when the binding lights Of
an approaching car caused him to
sv;erve towards the curb, running into
the Frank Malcolm Chevrolet which
was standing in front Of the Malcolm
home. The Chevrolet had no lights.
Mr.. SoltOw's daughter was thrown
against the windshield and was serious
ly cut about the face and neck. 1t was
found necessary to take several stitches
in the cash in her neck. Mrs. SOltow,
who was also riding in the Ford, was
unhurt. Both the Malcolm and Soltow
cars were damaged.

CUT SALARY
OF TEACHERS
School Directors in Meeting
Recommend Reduction
in Rural Teachers
Wages.
HUNDRED PRESENT
Large Attendance, at Annual
Meeting Held at Court
House.

A $40 month reduction in the salary
OF rural school teachers OF Hamilton
county was recommended by school
directors Of the county in their annual
joint meeting held Saturday Mt the court
house.
More than hundred directors from
the various school districts throughout
the county were present at the meeting,
and after considerable discussion, the
now wage scale was recommended. This
wage scale, however, must be adopted
by the respective school directors In
each district, at their annual meetings
the first Monday in July, before it be-
comes effective.
With only one or two exceptions.
every director present at Saturdays
meeting was in favor of n reduction in
the salary of the teachers, but discus
sion arose over whether it should be a
20 per cent or 10 per cent cut. The
scale finally decided upon, however,
amounts to a $40 reduction for teach
erS in each class.
The Pay.
The pay for the coming year will be
as follows:
For first grade teachers with one
years experience, 500.
For first grade teachers with less
than one years experience, $50.
For second grade teachers with one
years experience, $50.
For second grade teachers with less
than one years experience, $40.
The salary of teachers in these classes
last year was, respectively, $40, 500,
500, and $50.
1t is quite probable that the reduced
scale will be adopted in each school dis
tl;ct of the county, as the scale recon-
mended by the directors in their annual
meeting last year was adopted through
cut the county.

PUEBLO FLOOD
III. o. Cutler Receives Letter
From his Brother, r. V.
Cutler, and Copy
of Paper.
FRED WEBB WRITES
Number of Lives Lost in
Flood Will not be Known
for Time.

In letter which H. o. Cutler this
morning received from his brother, r
v. Cutler, of Pueblo, Colo, was also con-
tanned an issue of one of ColoradO's
largest newspapers, "The Pueblo Chief
tain" printed by hand since the food
The issue contains four pages and is
about the size of an ordinary high school
paper. The publication Of The Chief
tain has been continued every day
since the food, the greater part Of the
news contained being flood news.
Mr.. Cutler Writes.
Mr.. Cutler says:
II have read about the JOhnstOwn a. nd
Galveston floods but didn't have much
of an idea about how flood would
look. can surely see now what it means
to be in n food. A wall of water from
five to twenty feet high coming down
across the country doesn't leave much
III its path"
A letter received by Frank Webb from
his brother, Fred Webb, Of Pueblo, is
printed in part:
Just line to say that this is the
worst thing I ever witnessed. l have
often read or heard of such things but
always felt that it was overdrawn
There is no telling what the loss of life
will actually be until after the debris
has been cleared away and l doubt if
they will ever know for the reason that
MANY bodies have f1Oated miles away
down the streams. Live stock loss, of
course, is enormous.
Strikes Town at ! O'clock.
1.-THE first wall of water struck the
town about Z o'clock at night Friday
The central phone Office went out and
consequently shut off any way to local
communication. Then the power house
went out and we were without lights.
Next the water plant went out and there
was no way in which to put out the
fires that began breaking out in different
directions. The only things left were
the automobiles which ran in every
direction and these, together with the
noise or roar Of the water, were enough
to put goose pimples on anybody.
This town was an island. The
Arkansas river on the west and south
and the Fountain on the east and north
bclched one wall of water after another
every hour, each time taking out more
buildings.
THE girls We're Mt Colorado Springs
attending picnic. They, too, escaped
death several times from the delugc
down the mountains, not only from the
water, but from the land slides too"
