characterization Of the
School Grounds.

Strsngers who have recently cone to
Delta have said that our school house
looks very much like q prison. They
did not remember that prison has iron
barred windows and usually around il a
high stone wallj but we must admit that
our school house would be much more
attractive IL 1t were surrounded by
better grounds.
The arst essential Is bettcr soil; when
ground 10 thoroughly saturated with
0lksli it is very poor material for
playground. After rain our school
yard Iooks az i; it had just finished
powderiag its face having the natural
color only to it's eyes. the two small
patches OF grass Surely Dame Nature

dirt for = pleasure ground.

OF the yard and which affords good
places Tor the nests OF meadow iarks.
will first have to be destroyed.
After the soil 10 remedied We shall
need more grass aud trees. The grass
will not necessarily cover the school
yard. Tor the boys want room TO play
baseball and the girls already have y
plot Of ground for bssket ball. l am
cure few shade trees iG the front
sould be appreciated by both teachers
snd pupils. The birds would gladly
nest 10 the trees and we should have
other music than the quarreiing Of tho
swallows.
When We have good lawn and shade
trees we shall need fence to keep the
cows from uneveniy moving the graz .
The fence need not be high. although II

Que Improvement which Se can

TALKING VACATION:
FAIR is THE MECCA
But Business Man Prefers a Quiet
Spot in the Woods, Where There
Are Fish and Freedom.

Every man and every family thai
can afford a summer vacation is now
considering what form it shall take
| this year The presence of the st
Louis fair interferes with the old pro
| gram. The average business or pro
! fessional man would like to side step
the fair The heat at st. Louis and
the discomfort in getting there and
| back and the uncertainty of accommo
dations there make him doubtful OF
! it as puryeyor of rest for him, but
the wife and the children who are
never disconnected by dust and Gin
ders and crowds on a railroad train or
station, want TO see the fair. The rest
| full, calm surface of quiet little lake
in the northern woods where there is
| fish and freedom. speaks an alluring
| fascinating language for this average
business or professional man. No mat
ter how many times he has been there,
he has always found what he wanted,
rest and peace of mind. But the
woman and the children get tired of
it's monOtony. The fair gives them an
excuse to break away and seek some
thing new.
So. off to the fair papa and hubby
will go. amid the crowds and dirt and
perspiration of travel; off to the dis
comforts of a wall pocket in a hotel
and lunch while you run.
Most men believe in a vacation. A
lawyer, speaking on this subject this
week. expressed the average mans
sentiments: Il believe, said he,
that three to five weeks in the sum-
mer is sufficient rest for any man who
works as hard as the merchants and
professional man does without regard
TO standard of hours. He ought to
have three or four or five weeks when
he can go away far from his business
and work and there forget about it.
believe that in the remaining time of
the year that man can do more work
than he could crowd into a whole
years time. without rest. Until few
years ago | did not take vacations.
My work was such that | could not
leave Now | can get away. | find
that a few weeks spent Il long way
from work and law books make a new
man of me and / can accomplish much
more in the remainder of the year.
a man seeking a rest and vacation
must go away. He must be able to
forget his business so that he can de-
vote his energies to pleasant diver
siOns and perhaps such work as hunt
ing or rowing, or other healthful eX-
ercise. If he remains at home he is
apt TO think constantly of the store
or the office. Those he leaves il
charge know he is at hand any they
assume none of the responsibility but
are ever ready to call on him for ad-
vice and assistance. If he is far away
they must act on their responsibility
and nine times out of ten they make
no mistake"

To the Summer Girl.

The Summer Girl The Summer Girl.
She comes along the way.
She always comes at just this time,
In just the same old way.
She wears a stunning picture hat,
And who would dare 10 blame
The men who say the picture hat
Is just a picture frame?
And on her feet, have been told
BY one who surely knows,
She wears what men are apt to des
Ignate as rubber" hose.
And just from head to dainty feet,
From shoes to flying curl,
II is the girl that makes the clothes
Not clothes that make the girl.
