In the April number of the Scrbner
magazine appears an excellent story
written by Walter A. Wyckot1. the
literary tramp, in which he tells of his
tramp across Iowa. MI Wyckotf is an
eastern college professor who tramped
couple of years in the 9O's and his
book entitled the Workers" was a
great literary sensation. In his cur
rent story he tells of the Iowa farmers.
how easy it was to get employment
from them and that he was never al
lowed to 90 hungry In Wyckot1' trip
across Iowa he went through Carroll
county and down TO Nicola and then tC
the Bluffs. At Council Bluffs he
worked in a livery stable to get money
enough to take him across the river tC
Omaha where he had a letter contain
ing money awaiting him.

From the Kiron Sentinel we learn
that =. r. Nordell has sold his interest
in the firm of Norelius & Nordell at
Kiron to his partner, G. A. Norelius.
r. Nordell anticipates going into the
stock business in South Dakota. This
firm has been in business in Kiron for
a number of years and have always
held the esteem of all who have had
dealings with them, and we are sure
Mr. Norelius will still be accorded a
good share of the mercantile business
in that hustling little burg.

you will get just exactly what we say
you will. No one is going TO give their

is some reason. You will most likely

transcript Of my Annual to the
departments Of education at st. Paul.
Looking back ward just one year
there's much to congrat nlate our
selves on. The total enrolment in
the county is q 648 pupils. who are
grouped as follows: Pupils be-
tween five and eight years. ,004;;
pupils between eight and Is years,
.2,523; and between Is and 81, BIO.
The pupils who attended so days
or more, who were between eight
and 16 years Of age, were only 2,018,
or eighty per cent.of the whole. The
whole number IN the county who
failed to attend 40 days, was 874 a
direct loss to the several school
districts OF So, 500, to say nothing
Of the loss to the children. The aV-

am glad to state that there is
some improvement il this county
alon e this much needed necessity.
Outside our city and villages almost
anything for heating was good
enough ANY old stove, any kind
of q chimney and nearly any kind ct ct
a schoolhouse was once thought
good enough But that belief has
gone. Last year there were built
in the COUNTY six good well CON
structed schoolhouses. Light, heat
and fresh air received due attention.
These rooms cost about 81 900 each.
They stand as a credit to the pro-
gressive school trustees who built
them They will add value to the.
lands adjacent to them. Several
boards of trustees have altered the
old methodssof heating to this new
one What a relief it is TO 60 into
one of these buildings after haVin g.
spent half day in one of the old,
smoky, stnffy, dingH rooms built 20
years ago, where a 4x6 flue in the
chimney is full Of coal SCOT, and
where the stove. which is too small.
like the chimney, is doing poor.
work and where the children. God
pity them, are seeking an education
