Cleveland Wants Batter School,
Fifteen Thousand Dollar Bond Issue
Proposed To Raise Funds,
There is a movement in Cleve¬
land and school district, with a
petition in circulation in the hands
of Mr. E. B. Craven, asking for a
bond issue to raise funds to erect a
ten or fifteen thousand dollar school
building. Over one hundred per¬
sons (all voters except a very few)
have attached their signatures to
the petition, thus endorsing the
calling of an election for the issue
of bond-, upon which money will be
borrowed to give Cleveland an up
to-date school building.
Two-thirds of the number of
votes cast in the last general elec¬
tion is required before this bond
issue can be made, but as there are
already over two-thirds ot the
voters within the district petition¬
ing for an election, there is no
doubt whatever but that but that
bonds will cany.
't'he benefits to be derived from
a first-class school are untold. Our
voting people need the education ;
the world is soon to need their ser¬
vices. This is an age of advance¬
ment, and advance vve must.
No town nor community ever
amounted to much without a good
school.
No boy or girl can now hope
to be able to assist in the work ol
the future in building a stronger
government, a better social realm,
a greater moral atmosphere,a clearer
conception of Divine truth, unless
they carry in their “upper storey”
a clear understanding of the princi¬
ples that produce real worth in the
human being, and a purer and
higher standard in the practical
life. Millions upon millions of
dollars worUt , of time is wasted
every year in useless and degrading
pasttimes and conversations. The
world needs your time, needs the
energy which you lose in the loss
of sleep, needs tlie development and
proper use of your brains, needs a
life devoted to unselfishness, eager,
anxious, and waiting but striving
to bring about in the world a better
state of existence lor all.

Bell Speaks To Big Crowd in Gainesville
(From Gainesville News.)
Congressman Tom Dell had a
meeting that was a meeting before
the court house yesterday after¬
noon, beginning at i o’clock. He
had a large crowd—let those who
were there tell you about that—and
it was what the old timers say was
one of the most enthusiastic ever
held anywhere.
His friends had come in from
the by-ways and hedges and they
were there to hear Tom Bell talk,
which he didn’t fail to do. He
met every charge made by the op¬
position and showed that the cam¬
paign up to date had been one of
misrepresentation on the part of
the opposition to prejudice the vot¬
ers against him.
Mr. Bell was introduced by Mr.
John T. Waters and when he arose
to speak was greeted with enthu¬
siastic applause. lie at once wad¬
ed into a discussion of the charges
made against him and disproved
the truthfulness of every one of
them. He also gave a thorough
account of his services to the peo¬
ple during his nearly ten years’
tenure.
Mr. Bell was given the closest
attention throughout, and all
through his speech there were hear¬
ty cheers and enthusiastic applause.
At the conclusion of his nearly
two hours speech he was borne
from the platform upon the shoul¬
ders of enthusiastic admirers, and
when they finally let him to the
ground he was surrounded by hun¬
dred! of friends who grasped his
hand and pledged their heartiest:
support.
The meeting yesterday showed
conclusively that Hall count)’ was,
as it has always been—overwhelm¬
ing for TOM HULL.

FACILITATING FARM WORK.
It Is many years now since David
I.ubin first demonstrated the injustice
of the situation wherein certain men
were able to obtain exclusive ad¬
vance Information as to the wheat sup¬
ply and thus corner the market. The
establishment of the International In¬
stitute of Agriculture, which is the
dealing house for the world’s crop
news, was the result of Mr. Lubin’s
perseverance. The theory that Mr.
Uubin put into practice is being used
with good effect by the department of
agriculture in Washington, says the
Washington Post. Secretary Hous¬
ton deserves much credit for devising
the system whereby farmers obtain al
most instantaneous information as to
the crop reports, and the department’s
bureau of information is bringing the
government nearer to the farmer than
at any other time in the history of the
country. As a result of requests from
many sections, the department of ag¬
riculture is now supplying the crop
reports through the central weather
station located in each of the states.
This is an extension of the experi¬
ment of telegraphing the state crop
returns to the central weather sta¬
tion in each of the nine states, and
having these telegrams duplicated at
once and mailed to the new’spapers
and agricultural publications. Under
this plan, farmers in 39 additional
states will receive full details of the
state crops far more quickly than
would be possible than if these state
crop details were put In the malls In
Washington and sent to the remote
states.
