We believe that eventually the problem Of
teachers in our country schools will be settled
by inducing the older men-those beyond IS
or 60 to take up the work. The change would
be great Improvement Grandpa with his
wealth of wisdom and common sense, learned
by his many years in active work, could give
the younger generation a much better educa-
ton than the girls just out of school are do
ing. And he would enjoy it.-Warroad Pho
neer
Of all the idiocy! We are willing to wager the
new spring hat we hope to have, that it has been
years and years and years since the Pioneer edi-
sor has seen the inside of country school. If
he were conversant with present day rural school
needs and ambitions he would know that old time
methods have no more place there than they have
in the high schools and colleges, that the rural
schools teachers problems more difficult of
solution than those of any other teachers and re-
guire alertness, untold energy and constant stu
dy of new methods and principles. The --latest
failure we ever knew as teacher was man who
worked his farm summers and taught school in
the winter, because the wages helped out durin'
the winter months" All the things the writer
doesn't know she lays at the door of this same
"wage earning" teacher. Let Grandpa start a
bank or run for county office, or go on the lee
ture platform or anything else that is easy but
don't put the poor old gentlemen in country
school, Remember school teaching is a profess
sion-it isn't opportunity for retirement

Over in Montevideo they are starting COM
munty club with the slogan Let's Be Neighbors!
If the Montevideo Interpretation of the word
''neighborliness' is the good old fashioned mean
ing which includes sending in a pan of biscuits
occasionally, sitting up during nights of sickness
and refraining from throwing stones at garden
scratching chickens, we are certainly about to
move to Montevideo. Any community that
ganizes on that basis is all right to us.

SEVEN MISTAKES OF LIFE.

1. The delusion that individual advancement is
made by crushing others down.
2. The tendency to worry things that can
not be changed, or corrected.
3. Insisting that thing is impossible because
we ourselves cannot accomplish it.
4. Attempting to compel other persons to be-
lieve and live as we do.
s. Neglecting development and refinement of
the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading
fine literature.
6. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences, in
order that important things may be accomplished.
Z. The failure to establish the habit of saving
money.-Exchange.
Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm has fixed the blame for the
great World War! In fact Wilhelm in inter-
view recently published, nicely places the whole
tragedy at the door of everyone else in the Uni
verse but himself and God and he isn't quite sure
but what even little blame may be attached to
the latter! But certainly he himself holds blame
less! Listen to the alibis;-
Il never wished the war;"
"My people has betrayed ITSELF its God and
me-"
"The whole world has denied God"
eve would never have lost the war if the
German people had remained true to them
selves"
'The socialists are chiefly guilty"
'"The world looked different then (1888)
than now
'It wasn't without intention that showed
the Italian Victor Emmanuel in July, 1913,
my fleet in Kie"
'Notice how God scourges the world-all
evil revenges itself here earth"
"The sword of peace struck out of my
hand by my best friends
While the above statements may not appear in
the best-seler of the season it may still be rank
ed as the greatest fiction of the year-and we
take it that Wilhelm takes much pride in his
authorship.

STOP MENTIONING AND GO TO WORK

!" HE GREAT trouble with America at the
present time is, we are inventorying our

takes another inventory Of the products he has to
sell he is that much poorer than he thought he was
Going to be- Every time the dealer or salesman

We will be glad when it comes time for the
"flappers" to lay aside their four-buckle over
shoes. The flops and flaps haven't bothered us
the least bit in the world but they have most

duty of the girls to lay their goloshes aside a
little early in fact, that the strain on the
poor dear boys Of the fraternity may be a little
lessened.

"When man gets to that age where he has to buy

comes time in woman's life, when she begins

come about her eyes when she laughed have be-
come permanently fxed-and then she wonders
why the massage creams have become so much less
efficient than they used to be.

Bachelor Is Naturally Wondering 10
That is How the Ladies' Really

A Terre Haute bachelor stopped at
friends house the other night to
get him to accompany him to a COM
isianitJ meeting. This friend was
"much married" man and his spouse
did not wish him to go to the lecture.
So she told her husband so.
They were in the next room and her
husband was afraid the bachelor
might hear her and he did not desire
for the other man to think that ha
was so henpecked. So he raised a
warning hand at his wife. But she
continued in voice louder than ever.
II don't care if he does hear. If there's
anything that makes me tired it Is
some old bachelor going around clut-
tering up the EARTH"
The bachelor was startled. What
he wants to know now is whether or
not all women regard him in the same
light.-Indianapoli News.

MONEY IN BREEDING MUsSELs
United States Fisheries Bureau Re-
ports That Profit May Conf.

The business OF breeding pearly
mussels artificially has been carried
so far by the United States fisheries
bureaus that money profit Is conf
IDENTIFY promised.
To produce in this way 1000 baby
mussels costs about 20 cents When
they are full grown 1900 Of Thorn
will weigh ton. Thus the cost Of
producing ton Of pearly mussels Of
market size (if all survived) would
be. as exactly reckoned, $2.6S. Assum-
ing loss Of SO per cent, the cost
would be $3.50.
Pearly mussels occasionally yield
valuable pearls, but commercially it
is the shells, utilizable for mother-of-
pearl, that are Importantly to be con-
4idered.
The fisheries bureau has devoted Its
attention wholly to the propagation Of
superior varieties OF mussels. the
shells of which have at present time
market value of $35 ton.

In COTTON BUYING
Market Showed Signs of Returning
Confidence Before Crop Figures
Were Issued.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE feature
in the cotton. market today was the
publication of the most sensationally
buIlish end-August bureau in the his
tory of the trade. The condition of
49.3 was not 50 very far below the
average of the private reports recently
issued. but 1t was more than six
points below the previous low record
of So in 1913 and indicated crop
of only 1887, 900 bales. These figures
were followed by an almost equal Y
sensational rush to buy. and there was
no material check TO the advance IN
I'll December contracts sold at 1871,
or 1853 points above the close of yes
terday and 1913 points above the low
price touched on yesterdays reaction
This advance put 1S-cent cotton on
the board, with both May and July
selling above that figure and the
close was within 20 or 80 points of
the best. with the tone very steady
at a net advance of 129 to l45 points.
The market showed signs of return
ing confidence before the official crop
figures were issued. There was some
further scattering liquidation. but
there was also a good deal of cover

ORLEANS COTTON
GAINS $50 POINTS
Governments Report Of Small Crop
Creates Widest Kind of a
Bull Market.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. The wild
est kind Of a bull market was created
in cotton today by the government S
August 25th condition figures OF 4s.s
per cent of normal, the lowest condi-
ton report ever issued for any month
in any year and indicating a yield of
only 7,0S7000 bales, the smallest crop
in about thirty years. IN the FIRST ten
minutes following these figures, the
market bulged 121 to $50 points. or
about SIS a bale. October touching 1925
and all months going to the highest
levels since last November. Follow
ing this violent upturn extremely
heavy realizing by longs came on the
market and caused a reaction of
about loo points but in the later trad
ing the market steadied up again and
the close was at net gains of the
season of 40 to Isl points, with Oc-
tober at 1896.
The bureau report was issued at 10
O'Clock and prior to that the market
had, at first. fallen of to IA points
under liquidation Of long contracts
but had subsequently recovered and
advanced on the growing conviction
that the trade was facing extremely
bullish reports and just before the
figures were out it stood 40 to IS
points higher than the final prices OF
yesterday. The further rise resulting
from the scramble to buy on the crop
figures widened the net gains to 1863
to 10 points on the most active
months, or almost exactly $3.50 a
bale.
When the first great wave of buy
ing had spent itself it began to look,
for while, as if liquidation of long
cotton would dominate the market for
the remainder Of the session but new
buying developed when the crop fig
ures had been digested. The most
telling argument in favor Of values
appeared to be found in the compari-
son with the previous low condition
record which was 54.4 and was re-
turned September 25th in both 1918
and 1919. Claims were advanced that
the crop had deteriorated further
since August 25th and they had much
to do with the steadiness shown in
the late trading
