MISS NELL R. WHAYNE

We feel fortunate in securing
an artist such as Miss Whayne
for this company.- Stately and
gracious in appearance and man
ner, she posesses a voice, wonder
ful in its volume and quality. Her
charming personality, together
with her remarkable voice, make
her long remembered wherever
she appears. Miss Whayne vas
prima donna soloist with the Met
ropolitan Quarftfttfe. which toured
tbe United otates with toe lam
ous Liberati Band. ' She was one
of the soloists at the Minneapolis

lect with artistic temperament,
and produces a result not , often
fouad on the Chautuaqua Flat

strument, is a delight to all who

success has been quite remark'
able and the Chautauqua audi

Just How Big War Is
'. Berlin, Juna 19. In justifica
tion of the superlative adjectives
that are applied to the present
war, William Michaels has com
piled figures in Over Land, and
Sea, showing just how big .the
war is.
He estimates that 21,770,000
men stand opposed to each other
12,82,000 on the side of the al-
ies and 8,950,000 for Germany,
Austria and Turkey. On the nav
al side, bis estimates are as fol
lows: '

The area of the countries rang
against Cermany, exclusive of
Italy, be 6nds to be 67,000,000
square k'ilometers. with an aggre
gate population of 800,000,000.
Germany and her allies on the
other hand have a territory of
6,000,000 square kilometers, and
population of 150.000,000 per
sons. ,
The daily cost of the war to

gift, and training is only lis dis
Covery and-, perfection. Bessie
Leigh is popular in the best

audience into her confidence and
sends tbem home happier, better,

THE BIG THINGS RIGHT.

There is'an abundant opportu
nity right here in this town and
n the surrounding country for
very oue of cur younmen and
young women to achieve the very
greatest success. , We need them
in developing our natural resour
ces, in promoting more scientific
fanning, in making better schools
n strengthening our churches, in
building belter roads, -in pro
moting manufacturing enterprises
n bringing in up-to-date mothods

($42,200,000) and he' estimates
that up to the first of April the
total cost of the war was 40,000,
000,00 marks ($10,000,000,000,
Italy again accepted, - he placed
the annual cost of such a war at
$15,000,000,000.
: It would take 60,000,000 of the
huge 1000 mark bank notes to
pay this cost, and these notes
stacked up one on top of the
other, would make a pile 20,000
feet, almost four miles, in height
In cold this same sum would
weigh 24,000,000 kilograms (52,
912,800 pounds) whereas the en

has amounted to but 15000,000
kilograms. .

only 40 days of this conflict cost
as much as tbe whole Franco
Prussian war of 1870-71. The

Curious Reason
For Claiming
a Pension
In the July American Magazine
a United States Senator writes
an extremely amusing article
entitled "A Senator's Mail"
in which he tells about the
strange personal requests which
nis constituents make. He says
that out of the hundred and fifty
letters a day which he receives
at least a third is requests for
personal favors. In the course
ot the article he publishes a num
ber of these' remarkable letters,
one of which follows:
?,I need a pension but the de
partment won't give me one
I was engaged to be married,
in 1862. The man went a
way to war, and I married
him after tho war. He died
in 1885, and two years later
I marri d a man who had just
come from England, and;, he
died .. last winter. The de
partment won't give me a i
peusion on account of my
, first husband, - because they
say I wasn't his wife during '
the war, I was engaged to
him, and considered that I
belonged to him during the
war just as much as though
I had been , his . wife.' - If I
had more pull, I know they
woulil have given me a pen- 5

The Board of Edu
cation desires to
serve the Peo.
pie of Every
District
The Board of Education of
Madison County desires to serve
the people of every . District to
the best of its ability and in , a
way that will do thj greatest
possible good to the greatest
number, and be the least detri-
i i- it. t l :ui
ment to the fewest possible.
. In executing public laws, as
well as enacting them, it is diffi
cult some times to make tbem
work equal justice to all parties
For along time the best experi
ence along educational lines have
known that large schools, presid
ei over by two, three, and more
teachers, by grading the school
can do much better work and
their service be of vastly more
benefit to the people, than when
. - . i 1 1
each teacher works alone witn ai
the grades to manage. For this
reason and the further reason
that several teachers working to
gether arouses more interest and
enthusiasm, which makes it easier
to obtain better attendance on
the part of the children. Those
and many other reasons have lead
the State Board of Education and
State SuDerintendent of Public
Instruction to advocate and insist
on County Boards of Education,
wherenpracticable. to consolidate
the small one teacher bchoois in
to large Districts with two, three
and even more teachers where
nossible. with this end in view
c -
the Board of Education of Madi
son County at its last meeting
made a departure from : its old
ways, by consolidating the Mid
dle Fork District and Bethel Dis
trict in Township No. 4. The
School House in the Bethel Dis
trict is being much enlarged and
improved in every way and is so
ocated that all tho upper part of
the District can attend without
transporation.
The people in th6 lower section
are too remote for the little ones
to make the journey and conse
quently the Board under existing
aw has made provisions for tran
sporting these little ones by wag
on and teams., This is the first
attempt of the kind in Madison
and old Middle Fork is to be
congratulated for being the first
District to have this distinction,
rof. M. C. Buckner, . Prof. W.
'. Jet vis and a competent teach
er for the primary department
and to teach music will make this
one of the very. . best schools in
the county. I have been inform
ed that already negotations re on
foot to procure a Piano for this
purpose. Doubtless other dis
tricts will be calling for consoli
dation and transporation in order
to get larger and better ' schools1.
As this is the first school of the
kind in this County, it will be
watched with a great deal of in
terest. -
