A few teachers who expeco to te&cli in this county are attending institute in their home counties. Owing to the fact that repairs\are goine on at the higl school building, the institute is being held at the Methodist church. The teachers very good naturedly ac cept any little inconveniences occas ioned by lack of room, absence of desks, and the like. Tue instructors are Miss Danielson, who taught in the institute here and ,, two years ago, and Professors Brad ford and Lefler, both of whom taught here in last year's institute. Miss Danielson’s helpful talks and demonstrations in primary work are always well received. The younger teachers will find her methods of _ especial interest to them. Professor Bradford teaches agricul - ture, composition and school man agement. He is especially suited to handle these subjects, by both tem perament and training. If sometimes his theories seem odd, they will nevertheless awaken thought ih the mini of the earnest teacher. The professor is all iright in institute work. Professor Lefler, of Peru Normal teaches reading, arithmetic, civics and grammar. He does not so much sho v his class a point as he leads them to discover it, which is a far better way. Before the first gram mar period was over he led the most of his class to see the need for more thorough preparation in that subject. The address by Deputy State Su perintendent Elliott of Lincoln, on Monday evening, received close atten tion from the audience present. It was earnest, practical and helpful.

Flossie Hauck Married The following marriage announce ment, received by Jay Cole a few days ago, will be of much interest to many friends of the bride here: “Mr. Fred Lee Hauck announces the marriage of his sister, Flossie Louise, to Mr. Wyman VanLiere on Thursday, the 24th day of July, 1913, Los Angeles, California.” The bride will be re membered as Miss Fossie Hauck, who was formerly a Loup City girl and lived here until a few years ago, her mother being a sister of Mr. Cole.

Some scientist over in New Jer sey hs a plan to kill mosquitos by musical vibrations. Perhaps he extracts the musical vibrations from the mosquitos, so prejudical to good sound sleep where the i pests exist, and, like some poison i ous snakes, upon losing their ven , om, conclude to die. President Wilson has concluded not to recognize the Huerta regime in Mexico. Now, if Huerta con cludes not to recognize Wilson, honors will be even and then Ed gar Howard may have a chance to head that proposed regiment to ex | terminate the Mex's—unless lie does as Bryan did, resign his com mand when the fighting is about to commence. Governor Morehead made the statement during the campaign that he would not run again for governor. Perhaps he thought it was no use, or, it may be, he real ly wants to go to congress, as has been whispered very loudly in the past. But lie's a democrat and, like all the rest, is never satisfied to return to private life. We | have one of that kind here who j has proved that fact an inordi ! nate degree. Uncle Sam is having all kinds of ! trouble with Mexico and now to have the situation more complicat ed, Huerta, the present head of that beniglffed country, says he doesmot want any interference or mediation, while Castro, the de jjosed leader, has returnsd to Mexico and taken command of the rebel forces. Very probably Bry an will have to forego further de lightful mouth work on Chautau qua circles to attend to his legiti mate work of handling the matters coming before the secretary of state. Later—Bryan has cancelled his Chautauqua dates on account of the pretsing duties of his office. Heard the people kick, eh? Ashton to Have Newspaper We understand that Will Todd, for merly of Burwell, and brother of Mrs. F. M. Henry, of this city, is making arrangements to start a paper at Ash ton. He formerly owned the Burwell Tribune, and was at one time treas urer of Garfield county, of which Bur well is the county seat. Mr. Todd has some reputation as a newspaper starter, having started papers at Ohioa, Coatsfield and perhaps one or two other towns, besides two papers at Burwell, all of which, except the Burwell Tribune, lived but a short time. It is to be hoped, for Will’s sake, that his Ashton venture may have more adhesiveness. Picnic For Rural Route Patrons Carrier James W.
