Books, Pens, Pencils and Ink. Phelps Grocery Co. By S. E. Notson, Co. Supt. On the 3rd Inst, the writer visited the school at Lexington. The new j Duuamg is now complete except a portion of the fixtures for the do mestic science department. The rooms are well lighted, and the light is regulated by means of Venetian blinds. In the high school room, part of the light is furnished by a sky-light, which .evidentely is quite an improvement over the steep stairway. The heat Is furnished by a steam heating plant. About the only criti cism that can be offered upon the building is the lack of continuous entllation. The manual training de partment is well equipped. The la boratories meet the requirements for a standard school. The work for the year Is starting off nicely, and the teachers and pupils are enthusiastic. On Columbus day, I visited the school in District No. 38, where I found Miss Grace Tyler and eight pupils busy at work. This school has one of the finest flag poles in the county, and a fine flag was flying from the top of the pole. This school has two standard pictures, and no doubt will add the third this year, thus completing the required num ber. In the afternoon, I visited the school In District No. 17. Miss Ina Johnson is the teacher. The enroll ment Is 17. An excellent jacket for the stove has been provided. Good window boards are also provided thus making a very good heating and ven tilating plant. An arrangement has been made to keep water on the stove, when it becomes necessary to have fire, and thus moisture will be provided for the atmosphere. A good book-case is provided for the library. I wish again to emphasize the need of oiling the floors of the school rooms. If properly oiled, the dust nuisance is greatly abated. Then, if some kind of sweeping compound is provided there will be but little dust stirred up. It pays to look after the sanitary conditions of the school. The October apportionment of the school funds has been made. The per capita apportionment was only $2.50, but after the second half of the taxes is turned over to the treasurer, another apportionment will be made If your district has not received Its ! nr.nn,H.nmQnt it (a nrnhnhlv due tn the fact that the clerk's bond has not been filed as required by law. 4.&&t.& f- t 'TUM-A-LUMBER" TIIM A HIM" "TUM-A-LUMP" ? i uiu-n-iiUiTi I a BUYWORD for GOOD LUMBER t First, last, and all the f is GOOD FUEL time! 4 And here's why There's More to the Retail Lumber Business than just "Selling Wood."

Oct. 18 ( Special Reports from various sections of the country indicate clearly that the Adamson Waee Law. which has been menda clously termed "Eight Hour Law," is already bringing about additional la bor troubles. Railroad men who am not Included In the wage increase are being met with a refusal on the cart of the railroads to grant an In crease in wages on the ground that the added expense Involved by the Adamson Law makes an Increase in wages to the great majority and more poorly paid classes of railroad em ployes impossible. St. Paul car men are approaching a decision to strike, and reports from Kansas City are to the effect that 32,000 members of the six railroad crafts have decided to g6 1 on strike as a result of the Adamson law. 1 Railroad officials decided at a pre vious conference they could not grant the demanded increase of five cents an hour because of increased operat ing expense forced upon them by Con gress in the Adamson Law. As a counter charge, union workmen ask why they are not entitled to an in crease when members of the four allied trainmen's organizations were I accorded higher wages. W. E.
