Did This Ever Happen to You? * f * A FARMER walked into our store last week and asked the price of work shirts. The salesman showed him a standard make, telling • him his price on same was SI.OO. “Why, you’re a regular robber,’’ said the customer. • “I can buy the same thins from the mail order house for 94 cents.” “Very well,” our salesman told him, “we’ll meet their price.” The farmer counted out 94 cents. “Now,” we told him, “you owe us two cents for your stamp, three cents for your money order, ten cents for postage—that makes one dollar and nine cents. Come around in six days and we’ll give you your work shirt. We carry a well assorted stock on hand, at all times, ready for your instant needs, and in the end our goods cost you less than mail order prices. -Hilliard & Hamill-

CLERK OF SUPREME COURT PRAISES RED CROSS.

The following letter from the Hon. Patrick J. Lynch, clerk of the supreme court of Indiana, shows -the appreciation for the Red Cross of one who has witnessed the work of the organization in time of calam--ity. Mr. Lynch lived in Newcastle at the time the tornado struck that city two years ago and his home wy directly in the path of the stonfi. As emergency relief in time of disaster is one of the many functions on the peace-time program of the ed Cross the letter should ai<j in convincing all of the necessity of answering the third roll call, which takes place from November 2 to November 11. Lon Healy, Chairman Third Red Cross oil Call, Rensselaer, Ind. Oct. 27, 1919. My Dear Friend: I have your good letter and I note with pleasure that you are chairman of the publicity committee for the Third Red Cross Roll Call, and I wish you every success. ' You could not possibly engage in a more "laudable work, for the Red Cross has placed an indelible stamp for efficiency in every field of distress throughout the civilized world. Of course, the great benefit that arises from the Red Cross is its efficient organization. They are ready to go instantly and intelligently. They know what to do in times of a great catastrophe such as we had in Newcastle as a result of the tornado there. Any one who has been in such a calamity as that, and the confusion incident to it, need not be told why the Red Cross is an invaluable organization deserving of generous support. It is only upon such occasions that this great organization can be properly appreciated, for it came to the assistance of the homeless and needy, the sick and wounded instantly and with perfect organization, and throughout the country it is bringing order out of chaos, which makes it indispensable- the world over. It is a pleasure, as well as ’a duty, for me to advise you of my sincere appreciation of this great organization, and to give it my most hearty endorsement. Very sincerely, PATRICK J. LYNCH.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

sociation was a record breaker from the standpoint of attendance this year. The teachers throughout the state were anxious to get light on the educational material needed during this period of the reconstruction of practically every line of our lives. Jasper county presented a long list of naimes to the association roll. The great interest manifested proves clearly that teaching is fast gaining its own. Men and women are determined to make the profession their life work and this probably accounts for" the unusual attendance at Indianapolis last week. The dominant point to every discussion seemed to embrace the rather singular idea that our rural boys and girls are being taught by urban or city-rpinded teachers. This not only characterizes the country class of teaching but also the small towns and small cities. Heretofore such instruction has led the young away from the fanme tn. the cities. Now the big reform in the teaching staff is to get ru-ral-minded teachers who will emphasize the attractions of the farm life so as to educate our boya and girls to remaip on the', farms and start the hitherto migration the opposite direction. State Superintendent L. N. Hines has decided to present this phase of educational reconstruction to the more local units in Indiana. He will hold rural conferences in every congregational district to the state. Jasper county IS in 'the tenth district and the meeting for this district will be held at Rensselaer Thursday, Nov. 13, in the court house. State Superintendent Hines, Assistant State Superintendent B. J. Burris, State High School' Inspector E; B. Wetherow, State Supervisor of Agricultural Instruction Z. M. Smith forms the list of speakers at this conference, There are other, speakers who will present short talks by way of round table discussions. The meeting will be held in the forenoon and after. Thb first meeting will be called to order by State Superintendent Hines at 10 o’clock sharp. The meeting is open to the public, but every ‘township trustee, members of advisory boards, city and town school boards, county agricultural agents, county superintendents of schools as well as principals and superintendents of city and town schools are very solicitously urged to attend.
