sened, a!armiusly, the attendance in
the county schools, and, doubtless,
smothered the spark of genious in
many a worthy youth. This part OF
the school law is difficult of admins
tration as it is important. While the
law requires the trustees to pay due
regard to any school house already
built or sites procured, it also requires
them to have regard to "other circum-
stances proper to be considered so as
best to promote the educational it,
terest of the district" I am disposed
to believe that there are schools in
the county that ought to be removed
from their present location, and estab-
lished in places accessible to larger
number of children who are not now
within a convenient distance of any
school. No two public free schools
for the same race oughtto be within
less than five miles of each other.
Two and half miles is rot too great
distance from a good school. 4 uery
fer oniy will be required to go even
this distance, and they can, surely,
we'll afford to do so, if by having fewer
schools we increase the length Of the term
and hs efficiency Of those that eoe haze
It is lamentable fact, known even
to the casual observer, that in some
sections OF the county there is an IN
creasing disposition on the part Of
parents, to Shift the responsibility OF
their children's education from them
selves, where it properly belongs, to
the public, where it belongs only in
cases of extreme poverty and misfor-
tune, or wilful neglect. They demand
that the public, which exacts from
them few dimes for school tax, shall
in return educate their children, build
and repair their school houses, and
even pay the incidental expences Of
the school. This disposition ought to
be checked at every point, and espec-
Tally in the matter of building
and repairing school houses. It is a
manifest injustice to the teachers to
take any part OF their already too
small salary and appropriate it to
building and repairing school houses,
The school house is a local matter,
and the community ought to build it
at their own expense. The circum-
stances ought to be very exceptional
indeed which would induce the trus-
tees to appropriate any part of the
public fund to building and repairing
school houses. I feel sure that my
views on this subjest will not be well
received, but I believe them to be
right, and that is q sufficient reason
for me to recommend them tc the
earnest consideration of the trustees.
The trustees will please see to it
that the teachers monthly reports are
properly filed out, as the School Com
missioner's annual report is based
upon these monthly reports.
Any letter conveying suggestions
and recommendations to trustees is
essentially defective, that does not ask
their hearty support in the proper
administration Of the school law, in
raising the standard of teachers GER
tifcates, in increasing the efficiently
of the schools, in arousing an interest
in the all-important subject Of properly
rearing and educating our children,
and in making during the short peri
Cd of our Office, unmistakable advan-
ces all along our lines in the grand
march of education.

Two Rebust Lies.

Whenever Mississippian tells lie 1t

the two states, he girds up hia loins snd
unloa9s "whopper" that is SO strong

Noklong ago q man living near Ellisville,
Miss, said that the cold wave in JAN
uary swept over that state SO quickly
that the ponds in the swamps were
frozen stiff before the snakes living in
them could duck their heads under the
water. He further remarked that he
amused himself for whole day by
walking on the ponds and kicking off
out of the ice. This story travelled
from one place to another until

fall killed the horse instantly, but he
escaped without injury, and at once

his dismay he discovered that it WAS
impossible for him to get out by climb

him in, and he commenced howiing fol

came. On the morning of the secon6

horse was sitting, and he made up hit

he noticed number OF buzzards hover

An Anans,re Partisan.

James f. Wallace opened a store at
the railway station at Dawson, Noda-
way county, Mo-, on the Wabash rail
road, and when the place was given
q postofiice in 1880 he was made post
master, because he had the best place to
keep such an office. He
was life long democrat, and was
recommended as such, but this Was be-
fore the days of offensive partisanship,
and the republican postmaster general
found politics no barrier to holding
office. For five years he remained IN
undisputed possession of the Office, but
last November, without previous warn
ing, Mr.. Wallace was notified of bis re-
moyal and the appointment Of John S.
Wood as his successor.
AS MIR. Wood is known as a new.com-
er and radical republican, the change
was rather remarkable, and Mr.. Wallace
wrote to Congressman Burhas, claiming
the privilege of knowing the cause OF
his removal. The answer came that
he was charged with keeping the post
office in au improper place and was re-
moved on account Of offensive partisan
ship.
MIR. Wallace again wrote to the con.
gressmnn eonfesslng to his offensive
partisanship, but denied that it Was Of
the kind for which he should be turned
out of cffice by democratic admins
| tration to recognize the republicanism
| of his neighbor. Mr.. Burnes explained
| that he had never been in Dawson, and
personally knew nothing about the
| postoflice nor the postmaster; but the
fact that Mr.. Wallace had held Office
under republican administration wa!
considered enough to brand him as al
offensive partisan, ard. canse his re
moyal. The congressman promised
however, to do what he could TO remedy
the matter, and week before last Mr.
Wood was removed and Mr.. Wallacere
appointed. This case is fair illustra
ton of how officials have been removed
on charges presented by men who kneS
nothing whatever of the conduct of th
i officers, but considered holding offic
lunder republican administrator

Flax culture,

The industry OF t1ax-raising, which has
growE to such mammoth proportions
i'll this section, is one that is little under

engaged in it. Flax culture seems to
break out in spota, farmers in some
communities running almost entirely to
fax, while in others they show decided
aversion to have anything to do with it..
A few years ago the eastern part OF the
state raised nearly all of the fax grown
in Iowa, but now the newer portions
of the west and northwest furnish the
greater portion of the fax seed raised
IN the state, while thousands of bushels
arc raised in southeastern Dakota,
northeastern Nebraska and south
western Minnesota. Flax raising
has, brought eleven extensive flax mills
into Iowa, Sionx City, Boonesboro,
having one, while Des MONIES and
Burlington have two each. The largest
mill IN the state, or in the United States
for that matter, is located at Sioux City,
and the sales of it's products are cnly
