to offer $230,000 to defray expenses
of the convention, was in the lead
and on the fourth ballot was within
four votes of a majority.
Kansas City Comes Up.
On the ninth ballot. Kansas City,
supported, among others, by Chair
man Butler of the national commit

Chicago. Dec. 7. The upbuilding
and maintenance of a healthy farm

problem of national defense, Gen.
John J. Pershing said in an address
prepared for delivery before the Am

self-sacrificing patriotism, our farm

he declared. "Without dwelling up

Forty-flve thousand special nicr
kers to be bought by State Purchas
ing Asent Pirie for use on r.tate high
ways, on bids received and opened
Monday morning, will fot;t the siate
an average of about 5S cents each,
making the total something over
$26,000.
Final action upon the bids was re
served pending a decision by the pur
chasing agent and State Engineer
Cochran on the particular type of
signs to be ordered which will de
signate rivers, streams, and historic
trains at points where highways
cross them.
These are to be horizontally rec
tangular in shape, with black letters
on white background. Different
prices have been made for embossed,
stencilled, and milled lettering.
Two firms, the Adams Stamp &
Stationary Co. of St. Louis and the
Gopher Stamp & Die Co., of St Paul,
appeared to be lower than any of the
other 10 bidding concerns on prac-'
tically all items. The contracts will
probably be divided between them.i
giving each these items on which its!
figures are the lowest.
Signs to Be Furnished
Aside from the 1,700 stream and:
trail markers, the indicated awards i
not yet officially made, are as fol-'
lows:
U. S. shield signs, 3,000 Adams,
at 47 cents; total $1,410.
Covered wagon, 5,500, Adams at
51 cents; total. $2,832.50.
Right and left turn (R and L.)
to go with federal markers, 3,000,;
Gopher, at 23.9 cents; total, 717.

1,000, Gopher, at 20 cents; total
$205. .....
. Arrow pointers for U. S. highways
600, Gopher, at 29 cents; total,
$177.
Railroads Pay For Their Signs
Under a new state law, railroad
companies are required to pay .for
all warning signs erected on state
and federal highways at grade cross
ings. The state awards the contract
and then charges each road with all
markers erected adjacent to its
tracks.
The largest marker being bought
at the present time is the stop sign
to be put where side roads enter
main highways; This also, is in ac
cordance with the terms cf a new
statute. These are the first signs of
this type to bo bought. T:iey will be
of regular octagonal design, two feet
in diameter, with the wcrd "Stop"
in large capital letters running across
the middle and the words "State
Law" in smaller letters above and
below it.
River, creek and trail markers are
being bought in specific numbers
for each stream or route to be design
ated. Only six will be reeded for
highway crossings on the Missouri
river; whereas the -Platte and it?
two branches will require 93 alto
gether. Even lowly Salt creek will
take 18.

smouldering fire prevented the avia

new attempt will be made tomorrow.
Two pack trains loaded with sup

INCOGNITO TRIP AT END
Boston, Dec. 7. Gov.. Alvan T.
Fuller arrived home tonight after a
three weeks' "loaf" in London and
Paris in the care-free role of "Peter
Bond," declaring that he "never felt
better." He was accompanied by his
mother, Mrs. Flora A. Fuller, and by
Dr. Charles P. Sylvester, his person
al physician, who were his compan
ions on his holiday.
The governor said he had longed
for quiet following up on the hectic
days of the Sacco-Vanzettji agita
tion and other vital public issues and
determined to travel incognito
abroad and thus avoid the social de
mands that were certain to be made
upon him otherwise.

Wahoo, Neb. Dec. 8. Rural educ
ation in Nebraska is now dependent
upon the highschool normal training
program, in the opinion of G. V.
Rosenlof, flirector cf secondary edu
cation and teacher training in the
state, who spoke before the county
supcrintednant's meeting here today.
"Doubtless, there are persons here
who believe the time has come for
the elimination of the normal train
ing program ia Nebraska," Mr. Ros
enlof declared. "I may pay that until
the laet few months, I have been
more of less committed to such an
ideo at least to the extent of be
lieving that the program could
cease within five years.
"At present, I am convinced that
the high school normal training pro-
gram is necessary for not less than j
ten years in the major portion of the
state," he asserted. "Rural education !
and the assurance of better trained
rural teachers for our schools demand
nothing less than this."
Mr. Rosenlof solicited the co-op-1
eration of the county superintendent!
in solving the problem of praticel
teaching, observation and graded
participation in the teacher train-!
ing work. Nebraska has no set pro-j
gram or policy in this regard, hej
said, except the suggested minimum
of two days of rural school obser
vation and 24 twenty-minute ' per-1
iods of practice teaching from pre-j
viously prepared lesson plans under j
the supervision of a competent tea-'
cher. !
"The state department of public;
instruction desires to workout somei
satisfactory scheme whereby every .
senior normal training student mayj
have from two to four or more weeks j
of carefully supervised practice in a,
rural situation," he declared, "in
order that the student may be better.
