Hoosier Teachers Desert Us For Better Positions.

Robert J. Aley, state superintendent of public instruction, says the schools of the state of Indiana have recently lost sixteen of its best educators, who have gone to other states where conditions were more attractive. He says this is caused by several reasons:

First. Other states offer better pay; second, Indiana develops her teachers more rapidly than most other states; third, the teachers of Indiana are not knockers, but they never fail.to boost a fellow teacher, when another state wants him. Mr. Aley deplores this fact, but he says it is true, nevertheless, that other states lure our best teachers away.

Sixteen prominent educators are in the list prepared by Mr. Aley of those who have gone away. The list is as follows:

F. A. Cotton, former state superintendent, who became president of the state normal at LaCrosse, Wis.; H. B. Wilson of Franklin, who went to Decatur, Ill.; Lotus D. Coffman of Connersville, who went to 'the normal school at Charleston, Ill.; E. A. Turner, of the same place, who went to the state normal at Normal, Ill.; W. H.

Did It Ever Occur To You?

Our wife is gone. Gone to visit our mother-in-law. Gone back to the old home and the real cream, says an exchange. Back to the old oaken bucket and the mud pies of memory. We are not saying this to make other men envious whose wives are not gone. But it is a sort of whistle to keep our courage up. For a long time the opportunity to hang out all night and make a monkey of ourselves has looked good. Now, with no restraint on our conduct, no tearful wife waiting to throw her hooks into our hair, no one to lie to, nobody to pacify with artiful inventions, no person to care a whoop whether you go bughouse or not, now that the very hour and moment is pregnant with witchery and our horoscope is psychologically correct for a riotous period of debauchery, we get sleepy at 8:30 and mope off to bed like a mollusk.

HOGS AND ALFALFA IN MISSISSIPPI.

The hog by nature requires large amounts of succulent forage. It has been proven time and again that no other plant is so well adapted to this requirement as alfalfa. In the alfalfa meadows of Mississippi three hogs arft allowed per acre without any noticeable damage to the hay crop. In this way they are prepared for the market at a trifling cost. Bacon is a staple article in the south and large amounts are purchased in northern markets. The home product can be produced at about half the cost, add to this the transportation and. profits and some> idea of the advantages of the southern hog raiser can be had. If the hog in Indiana is the mortgage lifter, in the alfalfa meadows of Mississippi he is the mortgage preventer, on land at S2O to S4O per acre. C. C. CLAY, Macon, Miss. W. H. PULLIN, Agent.
