is very important, that privilege was
not granted on request. The word
pretty, which is in no sense phon-
ic word, and is without doubt a hard
and unsatisfactory word to teach be-
ginners to spell, was submitted, and
protested. On canyassing the situa-
ton it was found that six of the
thirteen teachers present had not at
tempted to teach the spelling of that
word to their pupils, while seven of
that number had. The lady in charge in
that room promptly decided that the
word was proper and should remain
in the list. 1t is strange coincident
that her pupils were contestants, and
had been taught the word. It is also
fact that at least two of the Farm,
ington primary entrants spelled every
word in the list except the fatal "pret-
ty" which should have been eliminated.
The experiences of Saturdays spell
ing contest has demonstrated that
there must be revision of rules, and
the method of procedure il the contest
is to become permanent feature of
inter school activities in the county.
The twelve banks of the county do
mated five dollars each to be applied
as first premiums for the best speller
in each grade. The Association fur
nished pennants for first and second
places.
We do not have available the re-
suits Of the contests in the various
grades, but Pennington won second
in the Junior class of the High School,
Isabelle Meyer having won that dis
tinction. Ivy Williams tied with
Leadwood for second place in the
eighth grade; Edith Young won first,
and Hugh Williams won second in the
seventh grade, making clean sweep
for Pennington in that grade. Mary
Manley won second in the sixth grade;
Lucy Barton tied with Elvins for Sec
ond in fifth grade, and Billy Plum and
Matte O'Bannon. beth of Pennington,
tied for second place in the fourth
grade. The officers of the association
will doubtless furnish all of the coun-
ty papers with detailed account Of
the contest with the entire list of win
ners.
Flat River furnished dinner for the
entire group of the contestants in
their Central building lunch room, and
Flat River teachers, generally, were
very courteous and fair in their treat
ment Of the visitors and contestants.
Before another year. definite rules
should be drafted providing for equal
representation from all schools re-
CARELESS Of enrolment. and reguIa-
tons adopted making it impossible for
any teacher to discriminate in favor
of her own pupils in selecting word
lists. The contest can be made very
valuable and helpful, as we'll as en-
tirely fair in every particular if prop
erly regulated and organized.

TAX LEVY FOR 1922

The County Court last week fixed
the tax levies for 1922 as follows:
For county purposes, which is pro-
rated to the Salary, Pauper and In
sane, Contingent, Road and Bridge
and Grand and Petit Jury funds, 80
cents on the 500 valuatio, and 25 cts
and 10 cts, under two different Sec
tions of the statutes, for road purpo-
ses, on all taxable property in the
county This is an increase Of cent
on the levy for county purposes and 5
cents for roads over last yexiR The
state tax is increased from 10 cents to
IS cents, the additional 8 cents to meet
the interest and create sinking fund
for the soldiers bonus bonds.
The road levy this year will apply
to all property in the county. Here
tofore only the 25 cent levy applied to
property in incorporated cities. The
law has been changed and the clause
exempting property in incorporated
cities from the 10 cent levy was strick-
en- out and the levy made to apply to
ALL property in the county subject
to taxation.
The levy for road purposes will in-
crease the total tax levied approx
mately $4,000 more than last year.
which will be placed to the credit Of
the road districts from which it may
be derived. The total tax levied for
county purposes will not materially
change the amount levied last year,
and will barely meet the anticipated
amount which will be required for
county purposes. THE amounts "lev-
led" does not mean that these amounts
will be collected" as there is always
a delinquent list to be deducted.)
The total valuation Of all taxable
property in the county this year will
be approximately $1,200,0 900 less than
last year, or about $37,600,000.

Farm Bureau Notes
/, Consignment Bull Sale. I.

: y
Remember that May "a isythe day
set for the sale Unregistered bulls
at, Pennington. Bulls combining the
qualities Of good individuality and ex-
cellent breeding will be sold that day.
A great many Missouri counties are
holding bull sales in order that young
purebred bulls of both beef and dairy
types be supplied to meet the growing
demand in the statewide campaign
for the displacement of scrubs. This
method is proving very satisfactory
way to further the work in the cam
paign. By sale Of this sort, the
owners of the bulls and those desiring
to purchase bull, have an opportun-
ity to get together.
The owners feel that the placing of
their bulls in 81. Francois county will
in all probability, pave the way for
the sale of more purebreds to the
cattle breeders of the county. Many
men of the latter class are beginning
to realize that they can afford to use
only purebred bull. One Missouri
farmer who sold his first bunch of
steers, raised from a purebred bull
and ordinary cows received for them,
So hundredweight above the price
received for scrub steers--and the
steers weighed 100 to $50 pounds more
at the same age. Also many instanc-
es are known where dairy cows pro-
duced from purebred dairy bull have
produced from 40 to go per cent more
dairy products than have their dams
at the same age under the same feed

Wool Growers Meeting MAY is

Wool Growers Meeting May Is
All wool growers are invited to
meet in the court house Monday night,
May 10, at o'clock. The purpose of
this meeting is to discuss plans for
selling the 1922 wool crop by pooling.
A wool growers association may be
organized. Other persons interested
in this work are also welcome. John
Mcdaniel, of the Wool Marketing Ser
vice, will be present. Also Mr..
Muench, from the Wool Trade, is ex-
pected.
Forty-three counties in Missouri
last year pooled some or all of the
wool produced, either in a county
wide pool or a regional pool. The
first extension wool pooling in the
state was done in 1920. This local
grading and pooling proved to be a
valuable piece of work. Hundreds of
farmers brought their wool clips to
the pools to see it graded and to hear
the State and Federal wool graders
explain the differences between the
various kinds of feeces.
Until the grading programs of 1920
and 1921, Missouri wool was not
bought on quality basis. Good
wool, coarse wool. bury wool, and all
other reject grades of wool, brought
the same price per pound. Proper
grading at the pools is rapidly chang
ing that old-time method.
Defects of flock management have
been shown up by the bury feeces,
damaged fieeces, taggy fieeces, and
other fieeces of too much neglected
fiocks. Much improvement has been
made during the past year. Many of
the most reliable buyers state that
the Missouri wool which is handled
through the regional and local wool
pools is in better condition than wool
from any of the other wool produc-
ing states. In 1922 much additional
valuable work will be done towards
standardizing Missouri wool and mar
keting it on purely quality and con-
dition basis.
The local grading in counties did
not bring the success during the past
two years that a regional grading and
pooling would have brought. 1t was
impossible for wool buyers to pur-
chase any of the grades in large lots
at any one small pool. 1t was lmpos--
slbie Tor the manager OF small pool
to Keep IN touch with the wool mar
ket SO that efficient selling could be
accomplished. 1t was too generally
well nigh impossible for. the small
pools to act promptly in the selling of
the wool.
The large regional pool, formed by
the growers OF northwest Missouri
oyerccame many OF the difficulties
which operated to the injury OF eff
cent marketing at the small pools.
These, difficulties were overcome by
the advantages OF fifteen counties in

LOCALS BLOW UP
TO BONNIE TERRE

The Pennington ball team, which
began the season under such favor
able prospects, and with what was
hoped would prove to be "pennant"
winners, sustained their first elbow
out" in a game at Bonnie Terre with
the team at that place last Sunday.
AS is usually the case with elbow
outs" whether it be with Henry or
with bah game, it occurred at the
most inopportune and embarrassing
time, being without rhyme or reason
and absolutely inexplainable.
1t was in the first inning that Far
mington forfeited the game with a Sc
quence of the most pitiful but very
costly errors, which enabled the B. T..
boys to run in three scores. After
such comedy of errors" both the
teams settled down to hard and con-
sistent playing, but the Pennington
team was unable to overcome the lead
they had handed their opponents on a
silver platter. The final score was A
to for Bonnie Terre, whereas but for
the errors in the first it would have
been ! to /.
The multiplicity of errors in the
first perhaps was the cause of Muir
rill, who has been pitching such puz-
cling and winning ball, of "going bad"
on few throws, for which he had
abundant reason. He soon recovered
himself, however, and thereafter de-
livered unbeatable ball, the, oppon-
ents getting but three safe hits off
him.
Pennington unquestionably has
strong ball team this season, and
perhaps the principal explanation for
the series of errors in the first was
the bunch of B. T. rooters, who are
the most intense article the locals
have been up against. In fact that
bunch appear to be under special
neutrality-suspicious. are stall fed for
the season--and possibly occupy the
same seats every Sunday, as the B.
7. team will not play away from their
own door-yard, and therefore the fans
have been forced to create a large
part of their own amusement, and
have become very proficient at "fan-
ming" At least Sundays defeat of
the locals was apparently brought
about more largely from the bleach
ers than from the diamond.

Kings And Queens To
Descend On Deauville

DEAUVILLE France, Aug 20-(As-
sociated Press MaiD-Deauville will
see notable gathering of Kings dur
ing this month of August King AL
bert of Belgium, King Alfonso of
Spain, King Ferdinand of Rumania,
the Shah of Persia, and the Emperor
of AMMAN all are expected to spend
several weeks in this fashionable wa
tering resort. Most of them will bring
their wives, and gay season is anti
cipated
Deauville hopes that King Constan-
tine of Greece may be lured temper
arily from his throne to taste some
of the pleasures and diversions of the
smart seaside town, and that King
Alexander of Jugoslavia and his youth
full consort, Queen Marie, may spend
a part of his protracted honeymoon
here.
AS all the sovereigns are well known
to one another, it is likely they will
seize the occasion to talk over affairs
of state and the national problems of
their countries. This will be the first
time in a generation that so many
European rulers have gathered at one
spot "a Conclave of Kings" is the
phrase applied to the event by Deau-
ville's Chamber of Commerce, and En-
peror Francis-Joseph' historic admoni
ton to King Ferdinand of Rumania is
recalled: 1T is time for us Kings

Demonstration OF
Radio Is Success
Large Crowd Hears and Is
Convinced OF Practicability
In Public Test Held At Fair
Grounds

Radio telephony had its first large,
public demonstration at the Kahului
Fair Grounds on Friday night, when
from the Honolulu Advertisers broad
casting station, KGU' a demonstra-
tion was given to between 1000 and
1900 persons. All along the Fair
Grounds thoroughfares adjacent to
the "Aloha Special receiving set the
Advertiser had installed, cars were
lined IN which were seated an inter-
ested audience.
AS a result of the Friday night de
monstration there are now large
numbers of radio fans" enthusias-
tic ones, in the Valley Island
and a porportionately smaller num-
Der of doubling Thomases. Its
possibilities were clearly brought
home, more, its success on that oc-
casion was established.
Immediate interest was aroused by
the announcement in Maui News Fri
day that a demonstration would be
given at the Fair Grounds that night.
Previously the people up at Kula
were given a fine demonstration at
the Sanitarium at noon. Meantime
a wireless message to the Advertiser
had told of the plans for the even
ing and a special concert was ar
ranged for the benefit of the expected
crowd which included some Hawai-
ian singing features. 1t was an eX-
cellent program that was offered.
Skepticism was pictured on many
a face before the demonstration at
the Fair Grounds opened. There were
some who had previous experiences
at the homes of friends who had in
stalled sets but some of them had
their doubts as to the success of
such an open air demonstration as
had been announced. When the
sounds commenced to emerge from
the small horn skepticism and doubt
vanished forthwith.
So great was the interest mani
tested during and after the demon
stration that the two experts from
the Advertisers radio department
have decided to prolong their stay
on Maui until tomorrow afternoon in
stead of proceeding on to Hilo Sat
urday night. They are continuing
their experiments as to which type
of instrument is best adapted to use
on Maui and can be furnished to
give satisfactory results at the low.
est expenditure to purchasers. They
have been trying out the crystal de
tector equipment which is the cheap
est offered in the market. If its
| success is demonstrated it will put
radio receiving outfits at the dis
posal of much larger portion of the
public.
