October Days.


In robes of airy purple
The distant hills are clad,
And Autumn'S horn of plenty
The husbandman makes glad.
The cornfields are rejoicing
In treasures yet untold;
The orchard boughs are bending
Meath wealth of red and gold.
The shepherd winds are driving
White floclzs across the skiess
The vines rich interlacings
Are clad in Tyrean dyes;
The chestnut's dropping larges1
The busy squirrels claim;
Adown the vale the sumac
Holds up it's torch of flame.
The jaunty jay is jeering
Atop the locust tree
A cynic fop in feathers,
Disdaining minstrelsy.
The crafty crow, slow winging
His lazy flight along,
Reviles the woodland chorus
With critic croaks at song.
The graceful maple trembles,
A-blusn with maiden shame
The frost king rudely kissed her;
Her checks are all af1ame.
The stately elm is crested
With plumes of fairy. gold;
The vines rich, luscious clusters
Imprisoned sunshine" hold.
The ivy, gently clinging,
Has caught the gnarled oak,
His ragged scars concealing
Beneath the crimson cloak.
The birch, arrayed in tatters
Mid this rich brotherhood,
Clings to his wasting treasures
The rniser of the wood.
The thrifty bees hold revel
Upon the golden rod;
To 8zephyrs, gently waving,
The purple asters nod;
The brooklet's fairy island
Holds bealty's sweet surprise:
There violets, in secret,
Are painting summer skies.
Queen Autumn's broWs are aushin,
With warmth Of amber Wines
Her dreamy eyes are closing
Oh, tirae most rare divine!
Now smiling. sun crowned Summer
Return with clad sssrprise;
Softly she cores, on tiptoe,
To say her last goodsys.

ment is needed.
L. w. Wood. the first rural
school inspector, spent three
days in the county the first week
in October and will probably az.
tend the school board convention
which will be called latter in the
year.
Mr.. Wood visited rural schools
in the towns of Mason, Eileen
and Washburn-nine in all. He
found the work in progress
varied from fair to excellent
much Of it being equal to the best
graded schools and that the build
ings, the equipment and the
teaching force are above the
average.
In the matter OF the ventilation
we we're deficient-only one Wis.
tied had adequate means provid-
ed for admitting fresh air and
carrying off foul air This was
located in township 46. range 5,
section | and is model building.
There are two more like it in the
county.
The work of the teachers and
pupils was typical of that done
throughout the county, The
buildings and equippmen. were
better than the average in the
county for in one or two towns
the rural school buildings are not
very creditable, None however
lack the means for good work.
The best work is found in those
schools that main tain nine
months term and pay from $40
to $50 per month, The reason
for this is that under these con
ditions the efficient teacher will
stay long enough to cause the
pupils to put forth taeir best
efforts and she will be followed
by another good teacher for the
board can choose from the best.
The boards that run a seven
months term and pay from S35
to $40 a month may get good
teachers but do rot retain them
long and so the work is not uni
formly good and is often failure.
When this happens a year is lost
to the pupils. It occasionally
happens that the poorer teacher
gets the better place but the
school boards haveas a rule been
fair in this respect and the
worthy teacher has had right
usage.
An especially good feature If
the schools is the free text books.
No Other one cause has produced
such large results in scholar
ship.
To sum up. we rank among the
best schools of the state because
we have a long school year, we
pay good wages, we select the
best teachers we can get for the
money and retain them as as long
as pos lble We have we'll
equippei buildings and good
libraries sla lree text books.
The continuance of this policy
will solve the rural school
problem.

Our Rural Schools
49, oaanty Superintendent Miss Smith Writes
Upon this important Question.

There has been in recent years
san UGH agitation over the "Rural
school Problem.
educators and public minded
citizens have felt that rural
schools were not keeping pace
gw,lh the city schools and that
eoountry children were not re.
sewing adequate instruction and
training.
Here and there are rural com
agnrnities who feel that Their
children are deserving OF the
5nest that can be had in the way
ssf sanitary buildings modern
equipment and cultured teach
@ers, but taking the state over,
these places are comparatively
few.
While the city people demand
trained teachers under skilled
supervisor and modern we'll
equipped buildings. the great
majority Of rural munltles
are content with old unsanltary
buildings, a short school term and
cheap teachers. 1t is still com
mon practice to put children into
q small room with a, stove in the
middle Of it, close the doors and
windows and build up hot fire
and half bake them. Because
OF short terms and low wages,
good teachers do not stay and
the children are under a success
sion of school keepers who get
.Suto other work as soon as pos
-sible. Those familiar with con
~ditions say that Northern Wis
.sconsin is more liberal with her
schools than are the richer and
older parts Of the state, but that
there is still much to be desired
in this region.
Poor schools has been one ex.
e.cuse for people leaving the farm.
They must go to town to edu
cate the children. Now we have
v6he cry" Educate back to the
zfarn. County training schools
ARE training teachers for rural
schools, and agriculture has been
added to the course Of study and
still conditions remain about tie
same. The trained teachers

@ers. If she succeeds she moves
on to more congenial places and
is succeeded by another raw re.
~cruit. It is true that many
teachers have the missionary
spirit but the State Of Wisconsin
is rich enough to run her schools
as a business proposition and
will get such local sentiment de
agnands and pays for. 1t is for
the rural people to say whether
ahey will have good schools OF
cheap ones. There are today
four teachers in the country
schools of Bayfield, county who
refused places in town schools
because they were given better
wages in the country than the
graded schools paid. That is
the way to build up the rural
schools. Make it an object for
r6ne strong teacher to stay.
AT the last legislature two
laws were enacted which should
increase the efficiency Of schools.
One provided for a state rura
school Inspector and the other
for an annual county convention

penses are to be paid for such

Thinks All Are Honest.

Canton News: The News
believes in the SouthDakota legis-
lature. 1t believes in the honor
and integrity of every member.
There has been no evidence put
toward that would compel any
other view. No intelligent citi-
zen of the state would look for
the hoofs and horns of those who
voted against the primary petit
ion, nor for the wings and harps
of those who favored it. The
fact is that an honest difference
ofiopinion arose over the validity
or sufficieney of the petition.
Had every South Dakota voter
been present in the lower house
last week to hear the arguments
of Messers. Holmon, Turner,
Rodge and Apland they would
have conceded without question
that the gentlemen were fair and
honest in their contentious. Yet
they divided on the proposition
under discussion. On the one
hand it was claimed that the pc
tition was faulty and utterly un-
able to stand the test of law,
while on the other hand slight
irregularities were conceded but
submission was still urged.
Those who believed the petition
insufficient and calculated to
bring expense upon the people
with no hope of securing the law,
even should a majority of the
electors vote in its favor, went on
record against the measure.
Those who thought tecbnicalities
| should be waived, regardless OF
how courts might afterwards
view, them voted for submission,

brings numerous catalogues, and
many of them beautifully and
art1stically illustrated, from the
large wholesale and retail stores
of the cities. They are received
by the townspeople and the far

of the real purport of these cata-
logues? They are merely adver-
tisements of firms that have
goods to sell. At home we have
two live newspapers maintalnid

The Motor Law.

The new law enacted by the state
legislature for the regulation OF mo-
tor vehicles requires the owners of
of such vehicles to register them
with the secretary OF state, who will
issue official numbers for the same.
The numbers are to be in figures not
less than three inches in height, with
strokes not less than halt inch in
width.
The registration fee is 81. The
law provides maximum speed limit
of twenty miles an hour on country
highways, with varying speed OF
fom ten to fifteen miles an hour in
the cities and towns. Under the
provisions of the new law, the owner
of a motor vehicle, when on high
way, is required to stop his machine
when signaled to do SO by the owner
of any horse which is frightened by
the motor, and, in case of such re-
quest being made, must assist the
owner of the animal in controlling it.
As compensation for these re-
strictions, any restrictive ordinance
or regulations locally for the control
of motor vehicles are repealed, and
any local control other than provid-
led in the new statela law, is prohibited.
Thus city and town ordinances for
the regulation of motor vehicles
must closely follow the provisions OF
the state law in this respect.

Volm Martin, we'll known Eureka
fiat farmer was instantly killed near
Moores siding 80 miles north of Walla
Walla yesterday noon, by being run
over with a heavily loaded wagon. Mr..
Martin was engaged in hauling wheat
to Snake river with four horse team.
His route took him over a steep hill
and as he started down the decline
the horses became frightened and
started to run. Martin made a heroic
effort to stop the runaways and was
pitched out. He pluckily held to the
lines but in some manner was drawn
beneath the wagon. Two wheels
passed over his head, completely
scalping the man and crushing his
skull in like an egg shell.

rie of the state board of control, in
an authorized statement, explains the
operations of the beef trust to keep
the state of Iowa in good humor. He
says the state has found no trouble
about high prices for meat for the
state institutions. On the contrary,
he makes the startling statement that
the beef trust, so-called, gives to the
state figures on dressed beef which
cannot be duplicated by killing and
dressing the Iowa product with free
labor at the various institutions.
Mr.. Cownie does not make the state
ment which he has given out as an
attack on the beef trust. He does ad-
NIT, however, that the state of Iowa
is more fortunate in it's dealings with
the beef kings than are some Of the
citizens and butchers.
While refusing to give prices for
publication, Mr.. Cownie says it is true
that the state gets cheaper rates for
all classes of meats than the but
cheers throughout the state. He says
that there is an apparent understand
ing among the big packers whereby
the big state contracts are divided.
At certain award by institutions in
the northern part of the state, the
Swift people were successful bidders
on all contracts. In the southwestern
part of the state the Cudahy and Ar
mour people of Kansas City and Oma-
ha, secured the contracts without any
appreciate contest. Other packers
are found to get the contracts from
other portions of the state, so that the
awards are about equally divided
among the various firms who belong
to the combine.
While Mr. Cownie does not charge
openly that the low prices to the
state are given as a sop he gives out
the information for what it is worth.
