Quite a large number of our people
attended the meeting, held in the
rear room of the bank building on
Monday evening, to discuss matters
p 4rtaining to the Scooba Academy.
It was probably the most harmonic
Gus gathering of the kind held here
in recent years, and the expressed
sentiment was all but unanimous in
favor of a retention OF the present
efficient teachers of our school, for
the term of 1866, if their services
can be secured. The Board of Trus-
tees will take steps to that end.

INDIANS EASTER STYLES
Ludicrous Results of the limitation Of
' the Paleface Fashions,

Chicago Inter Ocean: Easter Sun
day, with its new spring hats and
gowns, brings pangs of envy to many
feminine hearts, and the little town Of
Arapahoe, Okla, where the Arapah0e
Indians have chosen to set a pace in
fashion, is no exception to the rule.
Ever since the paleface came among
them in their Oklahoma home the
Arapahoe Indians have essayed to be
the best dressed of any of their red
neighbors. An Arapahoe buck will go
without food in order to have the lat
est fashion in neckwear. He may mol
tie it according to the prevailing fash
ion among white men, but if the color
be gaudy he will arrange 1t in Q fash
ing name that will attract equal all
tention.
Fol some years past the village Q.
Arapahoe, which is mainly populated
with Cheyenne and Arapahoe indians,
has been the scene of great parades o.
Indian ~tashionables on Easter Sunday.
At daylight the squaws and bucks De-
gin to parade the streets clad In gay
trappings. The bucks wear the latesI
cut of white mems clothing, but the
goods are not always of fine teXluIs
nor neatly fitting. On the other hand
they are always of gaudy pattern
Many of them wear silk hats and hgnt
tan shoes. Their makeup Is rather
rude and especially so when they don
a high collar that has been to 2
laundry and on which finger marks
may be plainly seen at a distance Of
several feet.
The squaws wear loud colors in Lawn
and calico dresses, but the hat is the
crowning feature. These hats are piled
high with paper roses, and long greea
VI red ribbons trail behind for several
feet. Miliiners who visit Arapahoe say
that some of the squaws have as man
as fifty paper roses put on a single hat
which would make it weigh not les
than ten pounds. An amusing thing
among the bucks is the awkward mar
ner in which some of them carry cane
made out of old umbrella handles.
The Indians got the idea OF comiW
forth in spring costumes on Easte
from a delegation of their people Wbl
went to Washington to attend an hi
auguration. They were In New YorA
on Easter Sunday and saw the para6s
of fashionables on Fifth avenue.

Woman's Interest in Farm Work.
Paper Prepared by Mrs. Ralph Jordan.
of Sutherland, Iowa, and Read at the O'Bren County Farmers Institute.

We think our subject rather broad;
IL does not state what class Of women.
but as It is intended for a farmers
institute paper we will take the farm
er's wife. 1t seems necessary To take
a step backward. The nucleus of a
happy home is a %congenial marriage.
and by this we do not mea the re-
suit of hasty, thoughtless infatuation,
but one in which the aim of each con-
tracing party is the founding of an
ideal home. In such a union each viii
pick out the qualities of the other and
compare them with their own and note
how they balance. In one short SEN
tence; win we be congenial in each
others society," The husband and
wife are as necessary to each other as
sunshine and rain are to the welfare
OF the earth. In other words: "PH
help you and you win help me, ard
then what a helping world twill be-
Here is the secret of ii ali: helping
each other. We believe there are very
few farmers wives that do not take
an interest In outside work and af-
fairs, IL they have q chance.
In the first place, a nan should not
ignore hts wife's ability to judge and
consider matters: sometimes they show
surprising ability in this direction;
md again. If he does talk matters owe
with her he should not seek to crush
his wife into his own way of thinking;
let her be her individual self; and
again, let the wife think Independently,
the same as partners in any business;
do not be afraid to express your opin-
ion, but let counsel be a blessed priv
ilege, instead of a matter of rights.
There should be a limit to this; the
wife should not be a hindrance to her
husbands business. 1t should not be
carried so far hat he does not think
best to close a good deal on the spot
hut must put the other party off a
few days until he consults his wife.
The wife should not expect him to do
this; she must feel that he is capable
OF running affairs independently of his
wife.
How many OF us admire a mascu-
line, or feminine, character for that
matter, III they cannot act on their own
Judgment, but must lean on some one
else? IL a man admires a wife with

a mind of her own, a woman admiFes
the same quality in a man threefold.
So, we repeat, do not handicap your
husband with the Importance of your
interest in outside affairs. If posi-
BILE, approve of what the head of the
family does; do not condemn TOO Oft
en-; it viii have a bad influence on the
younger ones of the family.
There are men as well as women
that we have observed that go around
as If they were afraid TO say their
soul was their own Now, We think it
possible to strike a happy medium in
this business. As we have stated be-
fore, ii should be a blessed privilege
TO counsel with each other. It will
gradually establish a bond between
husband and wife hat will grow
stronger and more blessed with age.
She will look to him for help and
counsel in her most perpleXing mo-
ments. In order TO gain his privilege
she should take a keen and intense in
terest. not only in all that concerns
their welfare, but his political work,
religious work, or any outside affairs
that he may be interested i'm. She
owes il to her country and to her
sons, and furthermore it will give her
daughters a broader ideal of married
life.
Now. we think we have made it plain
that an equal interest should be shown,
but for the benefit of some that may
have missed the impression, we will
say that the husband should take a
like interest in his wife's work, hopes
and plans. How often have we heard
men remark: "Oh, / leave the bring
ing UP of the children to their mother;
4 don't have time for that" Perhaps
this is getting off of the subject, but it
seems to us there is more neglect of
interest in this direction than the
other.
Now, in conclusion we will state that
we think what is mean by a woman
taking an interest in outside work is
that she viii be ready at all times to
counsel with her husband when he so
desires: that she will be the one that
he will go to in private for strength,
help and encouragement; that she is
to stard at his back as a reinforce
ment for strength in his hard and daily
! struggle for existence.

numbers in the fore milk.
Generally in the ordinary healthy ami
NAL the vast bulk Of these are the
common Tactic acid or souring organ
isnls, a class of bacteria desired in both
cheese and butter making. However,
We cannot say the same for these bac-
terra which get in from the stable dust
and the dirt from the cows udder.
Many of these bacteria are capable
OF setting UP most undesirable changes
in the milk IL temperature conditions
are favorable. and their growth Is not
checked by the Tactic acid forms pres
fcnt. The organisms which do not get
in under these conditions are such
species as produce gassy, bad smelling
milk. or which show up later by pro-
ducing pinhoie gassy or foul smelling
curds or cheese, and many like unde-
SRA ble conditions. / think we can take
IL as a rule. that the cleanlier the milk
ing n milk utensils, the fewer the
bacteria. and the more likely they are
to belong to the Tactic acid varieties.
On the other hand the dirtier the milk
Ing the more bacteria will be found and
the tactic acid species will be mixed In
more OF less numbers with gas forming
and like undesirable forms. IL is now a
well recognized fact that when milk Is

CLEANLINESS AS AFFECTING TIE
QUALITY or MILK.

Milk, no matter how cleanly a person
may be in milking. will. IN practically
every case be found to contain bacteria
Immediately after milking. But the
cleanliness OF milking has a very great
influence on the number Of bacteria

1t win now be necessary for me to IL

table. which gives in tabular form the
results of experimentation OF milk

of cleanliness:
