The National Lumber Manufac
turing Association has instituted a
scheme which, if successful, will
add very much to the comfort and
welfare of the rural teachers. The
proposition is to build homes for
rursl teachers in the belief that if
teachers are provided with proper
homes, the country districts will be'
able to secure better teachers and
avoid the constant changes by
which the schools are. always in a
torn up condition.
" The governVent has' been inter-
ested in the association's scheme as
also has . the Rockefeller Founda
tion which has given $25,000 to
foster the work, with, more money
to come. :.
:-; The first result of the co-operation
between the lumbermen of the
country and the government itself,
is in the issue of a brochure entitled.
Teachers'. Cottages," Hby R. S.
Kellogg of Chicago, secretary of
the National Lumber Manufactur
ers Association, in co-operation
with the United States Bureau of
Education. This brochure is being
sent to every county superintend
ent of schools in America.
Arizona will be one of the first
states where the plan to build
homes for rural teachers will be
carried into effect, and a thoro in
vestigation of the conditions in th.it
state preceeded the announcement
of the social service plans of the
lumber manufacturers. '
Mr. Kellogg, author in part of
the brochurej urges that the-.teach-
ers' cottages, or as he calls them
teacherages, should be models of
sanitation, artistic, tho inexpensive,
and so constructed that they may
be not only homes, but real social
centers for the rural neighborhoods.
There's no need of forcing your
feet on your mind. You can gain

SORE POWDER. It will prevent
all foot troubles if applied in time
and will afford relief if used after
the suffering begins.

Passenger Pigeon Not Extinct
The passenger pigeon . which 50
years ago was th most numerous
game bird on the continent, ' is not
extinct as has. been supposed. . The
destruction of these birds for com
mercial purposes was enormous.
yet to some unknown agency must
be attributed the sudden disappear
ance of the enormous flock which
made their annual passage from
their summer quarters in the far
north to their winter home in the
south.
Quite recently sportsmen have
noticed a few of these birds in the
Santa Fe Canyon of New Mexico.
The birds are well protected by
law and it is hoped that thru such
protection and - the protection
which game protective associations
vill give them these birds may
multiply and again become numerous.
RUSSIANS WINNING UURELS
At the present time the belliger
anls of Europe are deadlocked on
every line but that east in Europe.
Here the Russians are pushing
their offensive rapidly and with
great success The last report
credits them with 170.000 prisoners
in a few weeks. The Austrian
province, Bukowina, has been pen
etrated and its capital, Czerowitz,
has been captured. The amount
of booty in war munitions and
provisions is reported to be very
large. .
One purpose of the Russian
drive is to lighten the pressure on
other fronts and the object would j
