Women from all over the coun-
try held a club pow wow in Chi-
cago last week and their presi-
dent suggested that these lofty
and annointed personages take
steps to "elevate" conditions in
rural life.
One of the suggestions was the
erection of buildings for perman-
ent homes for country school
teachers.
That's good its encouraging
its bully provided the "lofty
ones" will undertake to supply
the necessary husbands to go
With the homes.
Another suggestion was the el-
evation of rural life in general.
That also is generous it is
charming it has a truly human-
itarian ring provided the noble
high-brows who engage in this
laudable and self-sacrificing la-
bor will first garb themselves in
almanner which will notbring the
blush of shame to their rural sis-
ters. Como along sisters. We'll
greet you with open arms and
popping eyes.
The city club woman who
would "elevate" the rural popu-
lation should first remove her an-
atomy from the public gaze-
wear a dress and not a shoe-
string. When you see a straw hat on
a horse's head on a hot summer
day you mny know that the own-
er of that animal has "horse
sense."
"Brain-lasy women make the
fashions in gowns" says Mrs.
Robert J. Burdette. "Brainless"
would.be more appropriate.
Yesterday was the tango .to-
day it is talk of a new Chinese
dance and tomorrow it will be
Adam and Eve.
News Item: General Funston
is vacationing in Mexico.
Mexican Slogan: "Give us lib-
erty and give us loot."
Dodging a London suffraget Ib
like walking on tacks.

great degree.
Mr. Wilson makes no pretense that
his admlnistrptlon of the affairs ot the

alt of this progress; It Is the product
of the combined effort of many anil
he gives due credit to everyone who
has assisted blin In this work. Hut
It Is fair to lil in to say that this
progress Is greater than has ever be-
fore occurred In Okliihomu or any
other state during any similar period
of time; that he has used the full
weight or his iftllco lu bringing It
about; that the policies that he has
put Into effect havo helped much aud
have not hlmlcrr-d. and that by a con-
tinuation of those policies you may
expect continued progress for the next
four years. You take no chanen.
Knowing that the llrst essential In
effective s liool work Is competent
teachers ho has given his attention
thleflx to the rn-orolnntlon and do
VMopihfcnt' of hlpher education

fall to recognize the tremendous Im
provement. We are now assured of
constantly Increasing efficiency In our
teachers. If Mr. Wilson I reelected.
he wilt he able to do more to Increase
the efficiency of the grade and com-
mon schools with the view of assist-
ing the teachers to raise these schools
to the highest point of efficiency and
make them of the greatest direct val-
ue In the lives ot tne people of tho
