Compliments Supt. White.

The January number of the
Missouri School Journal con-
tains the following item of in
terest, complimentary to Lafay-
ette's county superintendent of
schools, Elmer H. White:
County Superintendents who
are doing things are always
busy people. To this class be-
longs County Superintedent Ell
mer H. White of Lafayette
County. There are more than
two hundred teachers in this
county and Supt. White visited
every one of them before the
holidays. He now knows the
teachers that are especially in
need Of help and he plans to give
this in his follow-up visits.
While the greater part of his
time must be spent with rural
teachers, he is also vitally in
terested in building up strong
high schools in the smaller
towns. To this end he is keep
ing in close touch with them and
! giving every help and encour-
agement possible to school
boards as well as to teachers.
Wide-awake capable teachers
have welcome to this county"
"Aullville School, a two-room
village school in Lafayette
County, is one of the most u
nique of its kind that the writ
er has ever seen, and its unique
ness is largely due to its very
enterprising principal, Mr.. Wal
/, ter Smith, and his assistant ir
the grades, Miss Laura DAVIS.
A visitor to this school viii
find on the main floor two o
( the most attractive school rooms
i he has ever seen. They are mad,
e attractive by the well-chosel
: color scheme, by their beautiful
flowers and by the neatness ant
: orderliness that everywhere pre-
| walls. But the most wonderful
e part of this school is to be fount
E in the basement. Here one doe
not find the accustomed rubbisl
5 heap which too often serves a
: a fre-trap, but instead he find
a flower garden for the children
n to enjoy, a commodious play
J, room that is the delight Of tn
: children during the winter sea
e son and a well equipped labatC
:, ry where the work in agricultur
g and physical geography are cal
ried on.
e This school may well serve a
n a fitting object lesson to teach
t ers who would like to learn t
make the most of things"

his wife in New York, which de-

posts throughout the state during the
week of July IL.
The board has been busy during
the last three weeks with organization
work, some member OF it attending
the county Americanization meetings
which are being carried out in each
county in connection with the mem
bership drive initiated by the legion.
Another week will see the completion
Of this work, according to board mem
bers, with representatives of the
bonus board ready to assist former
service men in filling out the appli-
cation blanks in every town, city and
community in the state.
With the blanks available at all

set aside a week for the filling out

ity. These will be gathered together
by the county posts and sent in one
shipment to Pierre where they Will
be placed on file in the numerical
order in which they are received.
When the bonds are sold and the
board is ready to commence payments,
this same numerical order will be fol-
lowed. By this system the board
hopes to simplify the enormous task
confronting it and expedite payments,
The board is making it a point in
its instructions to the bonus com.
mittees of each post, to impress upon
possible applicants the necessity of
having discharge papers attached to
the application blanks. These must
accompany each blank in every in
stance, according to the rules adopted
by the board. Upon the arrival Of the
application and discharge at Pierre,
a discharge receipt will be immedi.
ately issued to the applicant and the
discharge papers retained until the
payment voucher is mailed when it
will be returned.
In the event that the original dis
charge has been lost, the board urges
prospective applicants to get into
communication with the adjutant gen
eral Of the army or the bureau Of
navigation at Washington, depending
upon the branch of the service they
were in, and securing a certificate in
lieu Of discharge. These certificates
will be accepted as substitutes by the
board for the lost discharge papers.

the pest should be brought under On
troll In large areas before it has
reached the damaging state, says Mr..
Ford.
Poisoned bran mash is the best
known means of fighting the hop
per- he says. This, when purchGsed
and used by individuals here and
there, is expensive and gives no per
manent results. Where communities
poison as a group and purchase their
materials collectively through their
county agent, nearly so per cent of
the cost will be saved. Materials can
be obtained at wholesale by purchasing
through pooled orders IN this way.
In purchasing bran, arsenic, mo.
l~asses, and amyl acetate (banana oil)
the materials which are used in pois-
oned bait, it is we'll to remember that
it will take at least a week to obtain
them by freight. 1t. therefore, be,
m necessary to order these ma
terials in advance of the poisoning
time.

Frank Sherwin, the artist and deco

quite artistic. We draw the conclu-

that he has taken his last contract
