The Barefoot Boy Law.

Island County Times.
Unless a tax for school purposes is
levied by the county commissioners the
probabilities are that the schools OF the
county will be closed more than half the
time during the coming year. The time
for leyying special tax by districts expired
on the 1st OF September. and only two dis
trlcts OF the county have done this. Dis
trict No. II levies a special tax OF mills

"A bi-metallist." he says. lis one who is
in favor OF using to the best advantage

a mono-metallic nation-and the one met

Col. Parker has no hesitation in saying
that the movement will fan in this state.

OF IT, though they Will ridicule rather tnan
applaud No one can deny that II years
past the Paulouse country has been bless
ed with phenomenal crops and good
prices, and yet most or the farmers are
head over heels in debt This condition
is not the result OF legislation. because
other farmers under the same conditions
have made comfortable competence. NO
reasonable man can deny that the farm
ers have run their business extrayagant-
ly; the books Of the general merchandise
stores and the farm implement houses
prove IL beyond question. No one can
deny that the popular idea has been TO
farm as much land as possible. and 10
put all of that land in wheat. These ideas
have been carried cut and the result IS
manifest
During the past two years the people
have been forced to practice economy, ana
while they have found il hard and dis
agreeable yet they cannot fail to see us
benefits. Despite the low prices of wheat
less debts have been contracted than ever
before. The secret OF success Is TO pay
out less than you take in, and this means
economy. The benefits of small farms ana
diversified crops have been conclasiveiy
demonstrated both in this country ana
abroad. II is to this system more than
10 anything else that France owes her
prosperity. The farmer who raises nearly
everything needed for the support OF ms
family and has something 10 sell all the
