There is one thing l have been in
tending to say in reference to the
teachers meeting at Whitmire, but
somehow have not done so. The re-
port of the meeting as published l
did not write, and while we had two
accounts neither one referred to It.
I mentioned just after the meeting OF
the state teachers in Columbia that
the folk who attended that meeting
were outspoken in giving the New
berry members of the legislature Gre
dit for saving the public schools so
far as the state appropriation tor the
common schools went State Super
intendent Swearingen in his speech to
the teachers at Whitmire made the
statement that the children of the
state were indebted to Newberry for
saving the schools this year, or very
largely so. He said that Senator john
stone, and especially Representative
Blease, had done more possibly than
any other two representatives in the
legislature to save the schools, and
that their interest and their work for
the cause of education in the common
schools was deserving of much credit,
and that he knew whereof he spoke. l
feel that these representatives of the
people are due that their own cosntlt-
uents in Newberry should know this,
and while the statement of Mr..
Swearingen was public yet only few
of the people were present and heard
it, and l feel it my duty, as one who
is deeply interested in the cause OF
education, and especially that part
that we are pleased sometimes to call
the common schools, to let this state
ment of the state superintendent have
wider circulation.

I would like to call the attention
of the white teachers to the summer
school that is to be held at Newberry
college and recommend that they
take advantage of this school and at
tend. You know to have your state
certificate renewed you must have
summer school credit, and besides
summer school is good thing for
any teacher who has the ambition to
keep abreast her profession, or his
profession. Even a first grade certl-
fcate will not, be renewed unless you
have taught successfully for at least
one half the life Of the certificate.
And second grade will not be renew
ed without summer school credit. A
third grade viii not be renewed, and
permit will not be issued but once.
The fact is l am very anxious that
every teacher in Newberry county
the coming session will have enough
interest in the profession not to be
satisfied to go on teaching with any,
thing less than a first grade state GER
tifcate.

day. Could not well go with them
until the school closed. I am very
much afraid that we will have to
make some arrangement to take care
of deficits in all these districts, be-
cause the information is that the ap-
preparation will have to be scaled,

credit for all the tax whether paid or
not, and for all the mill tax except

had the pleasure of attending the
closing exercises of the Jalapa
school on Wednesday evening. This
is the first time l have had an oppor-
tunity of attending a closing at this
school. Somehow it always happen
ed that l could not be present. This
is a fine rural school and while the
enrolment is not so large the district
is able to run eight months this year
and l think it will be able to make a
nine months term the next session.
The closing exercises on Wednesday
were composed of songs 'and play
and the children did remarkably
we'll and evidenced good and careful
training. The teachers the past ses-
sion were Misses Nancy Werts and
Olive Feagle. This is fine section
and if it had few more white fami-
lies it would be better for the school.
There is to be picnic in Sligh's pas
ture on Saturday and 1 regret ex-
ceedingly that I will not be able to
attend. / want to go to Presley
school on that date if I can possibly
make it convenient to, do so. And
then the Mt. Pilgrim school is to pic
mic at Willowbrook park that day and
l have an invitation to take dinner
with them. 1t is a great pity that all
these good dinners come together so
that I have to miss any Of them. The
idea of the Mt. Pilgrim school is also
to give the children an opportunity to
look over the mill and President
Wright has kindly consented to give
them the opportunity to go through
the mill.

The legislative mind works very
curious to me when it comes to max
ing appropriations for the schools and
for education. It certainly works
from the top down. 1t is true that
education is one of the things that
come from the top down, and not
from the bottom up, and that you can
not have a system of fourishing COM
mon schools unless you have institu-
tions of higher learning and l believe
it is the history of education that no
country has ever had a fine system
of common schools that did not main
tain system of higher learning.
Well, / started out to say something
about the workings of the legislative
mind when it came to dealing with
the question of education. The col
leges got all the money they needed,
the high schools were given all they
need and the elementary grades in
high schools were likewise attended to
and given all they need, and that was
proper, the rural graded schools were
taken care of, but the guarantee for
a seven months term out here in the
country will probably be scaled, and
the only thing for these little schools
paid in full is the term extension of
500 where the ordinary sources of
income will not give term of five
months, and the rural graded school
money, and yet after all l suppose
that the members did the best as they
saw it, but l never could understand
why, if something has to be cut, the
first drive would be at that little child
out in the rural community. But
everything is getting right and will
De adjusted before so long.

Dean Hevkel of Lafayette college said at dinner in Easton:
 1.-The Austrian aristocracy must bs taking Austria's new democratic gov ernment very hard, for Austrian SO ciety was the most rigidly exclusive in the world. You had to have four quarterings to your coat of arms-thaf is, all the way back to your grand father and grandmother on both fa- ther's and mothers side, a., you people had to be noble. A drop of commoD blood, and you were not received at court or in society.

Kelyong, the lonely mountain of Korea, experienced real-estate boom that made the Oil-town promoter pale Into insignificance. On tiny piece of lnnd on the mountain side were en- camped 2,562 persons, forming 518 households. while hundreds more were gathered at the base, bidding high prices for the privilege of buying bit of land among the favored.
 The Korean prophet, Chyong Ram. whose writings have been preserved in the ancestral mausoleum of the one time imperial family of Korea. long ago prophesied that Mount Kelyong would be chosen as the religious cen ter of the sect which he founded and of the peninsula. His prophecy has recently been given great publicity, 1t is reported, and thousands of Koreans are flOcking to the mountain, firm in their belief that it is to be one of the greatest cities of the world and that they are getting in on the ground flOOr."

Making Things Easier for the Anglers

Jazz artists think there is no better fun than watching the earth begin to shimmy to drive out the grubs, and just plain society folks think the in- vention Is good for conversational pur poses and great relief after Fin. stein. MarcOni and other deep sub. jects on which they have had to ap- pear intelligent.
 The new process is as simple as if Is effective. Two brass rods are pushed into the earth several feet apart, with wire attached to the wis. ible end of each running to an or dinary telephone magneto. AS soon as a current is generated by turning the crank few times the earth be- gins to crack and shiver in minia- lure earthquake, which apparently annoys the angleworms so much that they all come to the surface in n minute or so, thinking to avoid catas- trophe by running away.

,troit Investigating White-Slave Ring

conspiracy to violate the Mann act. Their confessions, Hessler asserts, will probably lead to several other ar rests.
 According to Hessler, Mrs. Kukuff left her husband, Frank Kukuff. in Youngstown six months ago, taking their marriage certificate with her. She met a young cigarette salesman, in Pittsburgh and induced him to go away with her. Hessler says.
 Hessler says Mrs. Kukuff exerted much influence over Fairmount. She always registered for him at hotels, offering the excuse that his arm was injured. He was virtually kept pris- oner by Mrs. Kukuff. according to Hessler, and she often locked him in the hotel rooms. fearing that he would desert her.
 The couple came to Detroit from Cleveland on Labor day Following their arrest they both confessed and gave information that Hessler says will lead to the arrest of several other couples who are operating in the same manner.

Good Portable Lock.

A portable door and window lock that can be carried in the pocket and applied anywhere without nails or screws has recently been invented by B. N. Wickwire of Carbondale. Pa.
 It consists of wedge that Is placed between the door and the door jamb.
 The wedge carries a series of fine teeth that are brought lightly into con- tact with the wood by pressure upon a lever. If anyone attempts to open the door the movement wedges the lock into the jamb and the teeth grip so firmly that the entire door frame must be torn away. the inventor declares. before the lock can be forced.

FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG
Physician Might at Least Take Com fort in Fact That His Subcon-

Have you ever done piece of work, conscious at the time that something was vitally wrong with it, but unable to figure out the defect until after the job was finished?
 The feeling that something is wrong" floats up vapOrlike from the subconsciOus mind, one of every per sons two brains.
 A Toronto doctor tOiled evenings for two winters building in his cellar an eighteen-foot mOtOrboat for Mus koka lakes. At that time he was con- scious that something was wrong, but could not figure 1t out, though he pOndered in detail everything from engine to paint.
 When it came time to take the boat to the freight train he abruptly learned what had bothered his sub- conscious brain: There was no way of getting the boat out of the cellar except by tearing big hole in the foundations of the house and digging deep opening to the outside.

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re.
 joice at Harvest.
Largest Crop in the History of the Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
 siderel Assured.

Reports of Western Canada's wheat crop, which may be considered fairly accurate. as they are made at the end uf the season, when the crop Is fully harvested, would indicate a yield of between 35O,0OO,OO0 and 370,- 100000 bushels from a total acreage of 21,471.OOO. This is the greatest yield in the history of the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and AL berta. This immense yield has only been harvested through the combined energies of all public bodies-rail- ways and governments. It required the assistance, outside of that locally employed. of upward of 10000 men. These were brought into the country from the East, the West and the South, by trainloads, and rushed for ward at express speed. to be placed in the different districts. under the direc- ton of officials who were kept advised daily, by wire, of the needs.
 As a result of this combined effort the largest wheat crop in the history of the West was successfully harvest ed. The threshing reports show that almost universally, in every section of the country, the grain graded high. In very few places did rain interfere with stacking. The province of Mani- toba was the first to complete thresh- ing, very few fields being left at the time of writing.
 Portions of Saskatchewan that had suffered from drought for the past two or three years reaped a crop that largely made up for past disappOint- ments.
 In Alberta there was strange con dition. In the central district. always noted for its heavy yields, there was considerable of falling of. Instead of the 35 and 40 bushel yields the average ran from 10 to 12, while in southern portions. where drought had affected the country for some time past, there were exceptionally high yields.
 Reports of individual yields In diff ferent portions of the three provinces lead to the impression that when threshing returns are in there will be found to have been a much better crop than at present seems possible. Some of these returns give individual farm CTS as getting as high as 45 bushels others 35, and so on. while in some districts. where fin early August not more than or 10 bushels might be looked for, 15 and IS bushels are re- corded, the improvement having been brought about by rains that worked marvels in the appearance of the crop. And then, too, instead of the head carrying four rows. most of them car ried six rows. and filled to the top, which. to those who know. means at least fifty per cent more.
 The rye crop of all Western Can ada Is exceptionally good; the oats generally good and barlay fair.
 The weather at the time of writing is threatening for a rainy spell. which may interfere with threshing. and pro long 1t somewhat.
 Most of the newcomers from the States have excellent crops. During August. the trains to Western Canada carried hundreds of capitalists and others interested Tn Western Canada land, going up to take care of the crop that they had arranged to have put in on the land they owned. Very few of them will be disapp0inted.-Adver- tisement.
