Independent school district No. in
Poe township will try the consolidation
plan. The directors D. Mofatt,
Alex Maxwell and w. B. Buck, met yes
terday with the Mt. Ayr school board
and made a contract to send their
pupils to the Mt. Ayr schools at the
regular price of tuition to outside
pupils, $1.50 month for each pupil be-
low the grammar grade, $1.75 in the
grammar grade, and $2.25 in the high
school. There are not to exceed IS per-
sons of school age in the district. Each
family is to furnish transportation for
its own pupils, SO the consolidation and
transportation plan is not to be tried in
it's entirety. This is the first trial Of
abolishing rural schools in the territory
tributary to Mt. Ayr. The price paid is
very close to the actual average ex-
pense of running the Mt. Ayr schools

S. Radnish, ST., was the victim of a
boyish prank recently and as the old
gentleman enjoyed it enough to tell it,
he certainly won't object to our giving
it greater publicity. Meeting some
lads in the vicinity of his apple trees
he was told by one of them and it was
corroborated by the balance, that one Of
his sheep was lying dead in a remote
and distant part of the pasture, badly
mangled by dogs. fastening to the
point cited Mr.. Radnish was surprised
to find the sheep had disappeared.
Going back to where he had left the
boys he found they had also gone; he
also found that lot of apples had dis
appeared and putting two and two to-
gether he concluded it took himself,
the boys, the sheep and the apples to
make quartet.-Davis City Lariat.

Another accident happened from care
less driving Saturday evening. Silas
Gates and wife and son Dewey were at
tending the band concert and were in a
single buggy. When in front of the
Methodist church they were run into
by Gus Ross who was driving toward
town at a rapid gait, his buggy wheel
locking with Mr.. Gates. Mrs. Gates
and Dewey were thrown over the dash
board on to the ground behind the horse
Mrs. Gates receiving severe bruises
about the face and limbs and the little
boy was bruised considerably. Mr..
Gates was thrown to one side and
bruised on the hip. A young lady in
the Ross buggy was thrown out but not
injured. Mr.. Gates buggy was also
somewhat demolished. Fortunately
neither horse ran away or something
more serious would have certainly hap
pened. DR.. Lyon was called to the
Gates home and attended the injured
ones and they are now on the road to
recovery. There have been several
similar accidents in town the past few
years which should teach those driving
to be more careful Garden Grove Ex-

No government would through its

so far as to convey the impression to
Russia that If friendly representations
did not suffice other measures would
be considered. Public opinion has no
such limitations. In this country, in
England, in France, in Austria, Ger.
many, or Italy, men are entirely free
to express their belief that the war
ought to be ended, by the voluntary
coming together of Russia and Japan
if possible, through the application of
a gradually increasing pressure if
they would not otherwise consent.

venting him from building an airship
for which he had recently secured
patent.
De Jong had devoted many years to
the study of aerial navigation and
few days before his death he declared
that he had solved the difficult prob
lem. He expected to be able within
few months to demonstrate the &C
curacy of his calculations by sailing
his craft over the city. The ship was
to be propelled by either electricity or
a gasoline motor. A few days be-
fore his death Mr.. De Jong said:

all the airships ever devised have been

wrong plans and mistaken ideas. 1t
