ESTABLISHMENT OF


In company with Mr.. Allan H.
Hinchey, field representative of the
Southeast Missouri State Teachers
College, visited the Oak Hill COM
munity last Monday evening, where a
meeting of the patrons of this school
district was held at the school build
ing. Mr.. Hinchey and explained to
the people the proposition Of the
Teachers College which if adopted by
the district would result in the Oak
Hill school being made the model
demonstration rural school of st.
Francois county. The proposition in
brief of the Teachers College is as
follows:
/. The College offers to spend dol
lar for dollar with the district in i'm
proving the school property and in
adding to the school equipment, the
amount contributed by the College
not to exceed a minimum Of perhaps
5000, the exact amount TO be agreed
upon by the Board of Directors and
the College.
2. The College offers to send it's ru-
raj expert and supervisor to the dem
onstration school once each month for
the purpose of advising with the
teacher and supervising the instruc-
ton.
8. The College makes available to
the school district the free use of its
travelling library.
In my opinion the most attractive
feature by far of the plan of the Col
lege is the offer to personally super
wise the work of instruction. After
the proposition had been thoroughly
explained by Mr.. Hinchey and by my
self it was unanimously adopted by
the district. The next order of bust
ness was the organization of the Oak
Hill Community Club which was done
by the election of Maurice Highley,
president, Mrs. E. j. Harrington,
vice president, and Mrs. Frank Dunn,
secretary-treasurer. President High
ley thereupon appointed a program
committee of which Charles Hopkins
is chairman. The program committee
will meet this afternoon for the pur-
pose of preparing program for the
next community meeting which will
be held at the school building at an
early date. l shall attend the meet
ing of the program committee this af-
ternoon and also the first program Of
the new community club for the pur-
pose of offering such help and assist
ance as l can.
This letter will give you an idea as
to what was done at the meeting last
Monday evening and also as to the
plan Of the Teachers College and from
it you may write story of the meet
ing. Of course, ! could have written
the story but for both local papers to
publish idential reports Of happenings
tends to devitalize them. believe !
have Incorporated all necessary de-
tails in this letter, and that from it
you can CLEAN a nice little news item
which will be appreciated by the peo-
pie of the Oak Hill school district.
Very truly yours,
]. Clyde Akers.

"SeU Maine to the World"

The plan of the State of Maine
Publicity Bureau to raise fund for
the purpose of advertising and Sc
curing publicity for every interest in
the State of Maine should meet with
the universal appreciation of every
citizen of the State.
Maine has more natural resources,
developed and undeveloped, than
any section of this great United
States A climate uneXcelled for
anyone with red blood in his
veins; soil in which practically
every crop can be raised; unlimited
water power available for industry;
a developed commerce with inter
nationally distributed products;
lakes, mountains, streams, a coast
line and summer resorts that are
superior to any place in the whole
void, and yet comparatively few
people know what we have because
the State has lacked a systematic
and continuous advertising cam
paign.
If all our citizens had the spirit
which seems to be an attribute of
most of the people of the western
states, we would tell the world that
Maine is the finest spot on the
globe in which to make a permanent
home or spend a vacation.
Let us boost together, and "sell
Maine to the world"

Church Treasure Recovered.

An italian ice cream dealer in at
tempting to dispose of solid silver
cross for $4,000 in Glasgow disclosed
the whereabouts of Thirteenth cen
fury church ornament worth 100000
which disappeared several years ago
from the Church of Borgo Colefa-
cato, near Aquila, Italy. The evil
dence presented In court was to the
effect that the cross was one of the
most valuable antiquities of Italy, and
was thought to have been struggled
out of the country by an art collector.
The ice cream vendors effort to sell
it at 100000 figure aroused the suspi
cions of an antiquarian because of
its greater intrinsic worth. The Ital-
ian contended that it has been in the
possession of his family for genera
tons, that 1t had been lost in the
earthquake at Messina and had been
recovered by him from the ruins.

For Twenty-Seven Cents.

An unforeseen interruption of travel
occurred on the West side elevated
railroad one morning last week. A
short, somewhat stout, middle-aged
woman ambling her way to the down
town platform at Ninety-third street
dropped her purse, as well as her
ticket, in the box.
The son of Erin whose special duty
it is to see that tickets are dropped
in the box tried to extricate the
purse with wire He failed and
then the woman wanted to try. The
ticket seller was called out.
Potential passengers were held up.
A crowd collected. Variegated re-
marks enlivened the occasion. Final
ly mechanic was summoned. He
took the top off the box and recov-
cred the purse. 1t contained 81 cents.
Travel had been delayed almost an

LYcURGUs DID NOT BELONG"
Old Gentleman Wrong in CHASING Him
as One Of Seven Wise Men
Of Greece.

The seven wise men of Greece,
whose names and sayings have come
down to us from antiquity, have been
distinctly secondary in renOwn re-
Gently to the several score wise men
Of the nations gathered here In the
conference on the limitation of arma-
ments.
forgotten. Here and there are men
who treasure the sayings which those
worthless handed down to us. They
are keen on the proper pronunciation
of their names. and know to de-
gree in which Grecian state they lived.
One of these scholars came in last
week to settle dispute, says the
Washington Star. Several of his
friends, in whom the fine flower Of
learning had not withered any more
than it had in him, were disputing
about those seven wise men of Greece.
''They could only think Of six" de-
clared the gentleman, nodding his
white head. II said the seventh was
Lycurgus. Am right?"
The seven wise men of Greece, not
having figured in the news for few
years, 1t was no easy task to locate
them. But a fat volume finally gave
them up-and Lycurgus was not In the
list.
Bias, Chic. Cleobulos, Pittacos, So
Ion, Thales and Fernandez were the
seven wise men. Everybody remen-

that really tremendous saying "Know
myself" Cleobulos is credited with a
good one too. "Avoid extremes" This
latter is the famous golden mean Of
Epicurus.
"And to think / would have put
Lycurgus in that list!" exclaimed the
old gentleman.

VAST TREASURE WAITS FINDER
Hidden Somewhere in the Sudan
Desert ls Osman Diana's Store
Of Gold and Ivory.

In my travels, when young girl
in Egypt and later in the Sudan. in
Ismailia, l met with a woman who
had fled from the Sudan during the
war with the British. She was related
to the once famous Osman Digna. the
mahdi's general and most trusted
friend. She related the following,
which / translate:
Every year Osman Digna used to
take so Sudanese men and load them
up with ivory, gold and precious stones
which the mahdi obtained from traders
from the Congo. Ee led these men in
a march which lasted three days into
the wilds Of Khartoum, to noun
tain where was his cache. When every
thing was put in safely, they started
off to return, but halfway another
trusted man, named Mahomoud, met
Osman Digna with hundred men,
who killed everyone of the men used
to carry the valuables. When that
deed was done they returned to the
mahdi, waiting for the next years
caravan.
Osman Digna consequently was the
only man who knew the cache. When
taken prisoner he was offered large
sum Of money to conduct party to the
place but he absolutely refused to
speak. The last heard of him he was
still lingering in prison in Cairo nearly
blind and insane.-Montreal Family

Hearing on Bridge Injunction.

The hearing on the injunction pro-
ceeding in the Hancock Sullivan
bridge matter was held before
Justice Deasy of the supreme court
in Ellsworth to-day. This hearing
was to determine whether tenn
porary injunction should be ordered.
Many towns in the county were rep
resented.
Two questions were presented and
argued The first was whether the
notice given by the State highway
commission for a meeting of the
State commission, the bridge district
trustees and the county commission
ers should have been a public notice.
The statute provides that the State
highway commissioners shall ap-
point a time and place for the meet
ing, and give such notice as they see
fit. The petitioners for injunction
argued that the statute contem-
plated a public notice. The other
side contended that the statute left
the matter of sufficiency of the
notice entirely to the discretion of
the State highway commission, and
that the notice given did reach all
whose attendance at the meeting
was contemplated.
The other question which attacks
the constitutionality of the law, was
whether the burdens and benefits
from the building of the bridge were
reasonably proportionate.
Justice Deasy reserved decision,
pending the submission of further
citations on this point.

"Perfect SO" Is No More.

The perfect SO bust is no more, writes
a sartorial correspondent. In the days
of her prime, before fiappers owned
their own cigarettes, she tlourished
Now she is gone, forever. In her place

like twelve-year-old boy and dresses
that are suspended from sharp Shout

Excellence in Art.

Excellence in art is to be attained
only by active effort, and not by pas
sive Impressions; by the manly over
coming of difficulties, by patient,
struggle against adverse circumstance,
by the thrifty use of moderate Oppor-
tunitities. The great artists were not
rocked and handled into eminence, but
they attained to it by that course Of
labor and discipline which no man
need go to Rome or Paris or London
to enter upon.-Hilliard.

Valuable People.

The value of a single man or woman
of open mind, independent judgment
and moral courage, who requires to
be convinced and refuses to be cajoled,
is only concerned to he right and not
afraid to be singular, deferring to
reason but not to rank, true to their
own self, and therefore not false to
any mantle value of such a man or
woman, say, is priceless; nation OF
such would leaven and regenerate the
