Why Not Have The Best School In The County. “Yes,that neighborhood has the j best school in the county. ” When you hear this said about 1 a community what a pleasing pic ture at once flashes through your mind! You not only see the pret ty, painted attractive school building, with well-kept grounds, but a joyous picture of the thrift and enterprise and progress of the entir9 community also suggests itself. You know that if the neighborhood has the best school in the county, then it must he that about the best people live in it al ready, and that more good people are coming to it. for a good school always attracts good citizens like a magnet. You know that the fact that these people have had the enterprise to get the best school in the county means, too, that they are wide-awake about every thing that they live in good homes ; that they have painted their hous es : that they are using improved implements and machinery; that ;j they are getting better roads; that there is a wholesome social life and that the young people are happier and that in a hundred other ways the school and the spirit it repre sents have made their influence felt in brightening the lives of the people round about. All these suggestions lead direct ly to another thought: Why j shouldnt your comunity have the best school in the county, or at least one of the best? It would only take a little determination I and co-yperation on the part of ! all the people in your community. First of all, get your district so enlarged or arranged as to provide proper support for a school. Then vote whatever local tax is neces sary to get an adequate teach ing force and an adequate school term. This will cost money but so does seed corn cost money. Still one doesn’t mind putting value able seed corn into the ground when he knows that it is going to bring a good harvest in the fall. The harvest es returns from the school tax investments are just as sure. Next, you want to get a | good teacher and pay him or her: enough to keep him with the school not merely for one term but as long as he can do good work. Finally, get these practi cal courses introduced. Let the boys learn the scientific principles that will have practical applica tion if farm life. Let the girls learn principles of domestic science And let both boys and girls give ,i proper amount of time to the principles of sanitation and hygiene how to live right and how to keep well. Let your school give adequate training along these three practical lines then ground the student thoroughly in the three R’s, and if the parents have done their part, they need have no fear as to the sort of men and women your community will turn out. — Progressive Farmer. “ r mm —~ President Taft has engineered the reciprocity bill through Con gress weich brings Canadian pro duce into competition with the farmer, but let’s in nothing free that competes with trust control led articles.

Wh'*u Mark Twain in his early | days, vas editor cf a Missouri pa-1 I a superstitious subscriber 1 wrote him saying that he had found a spider in his paper, and asking him whether that was a sign of good or bad luck. The humorist wrote him this answer and printed it; “Old Subscriber: Finding spi der m your paper was neithnr good uor bad luck for you. The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant is not ad vertising. so that he can go to that store, spin his web across the door and lead a life of undisturbed ease ever afterward ’’ —Ex. Some members of his church played a funny joke on Bishop Quavle at Des Plains, 111., the other day. A camp meeting was in progress. The bishop was to preach a sermon on the miracles. had brought along several wat "rmeloii6 with which he proposed to illustrate the mystery of how there could be made water in them when there had been no rain in the section in which they were grown for more than two months. The melons were large and good look ing. Five of the deacons saw them and fell before the temptation. When the bishop wasn’t looking they ‘•borrowed’’ the melons and ate them. As the bishop reached the point in his discourse where he wanted to cut a melon there was" siothing doing’’ and he was ; much perplexed. The matter was passed over as a joke, but the bis hop hasn’t yet quite seen the point of it. —Exchange. Jury List.
