The school meeting Monday evening
proved at least one thing: That the
people have confidence in our schools
and the men who direct the
educational affairs of our city
Monday nights meeting was a unit
on everything that was for the better
ment Of school conditions in our city.
While Grand Rapids stands high as
an educational center, no one is
foolish enough who has the interests
OF the school at heart, to claim that
the schools are perfect in all their
appointments. They say that
money spent to make it easier for the
poor to educate their children at the
least possible cost to them Is the best
Of economy.
Information comes to us. that in
the vicinity of Readstown, Wis.
thousands of quail are starving, the
country roads being lined with the
birds in search of something TO eat.
In many cases hunger has driven
them to the farmers barns and
sranaries in search OF grain. The
thawing and freezing of snow of early
winter formed coatings of ice over
the ground through which the birds
cannot scratch to secure food. In
several instances entire fiocks have
been huddled together in hedges,
dead, caused by severe weather and
lack of food. Many farmers are
feeding the quail on their places, and
hunger tempts them to leave their
hiding places while the grain is being
scattered on the ground.
The feed inspection department of
the Experiment Station of the
University of Wisconsin has recently
ascertained that shipment of ground
| rice hulls has been brought into the
state. AS there is danger that this
material may be mixed with different
feeding stuffs and sold as feed to
owners of horses or other live stock,
the Experiment Station suggests that
buyers carefully examine such mixed
foods before accepting them. Rice
hulls not only have practically no
feeding value whatever, but owing
to their peculiar barb-like fibre and
the large amount of silica which they
contain are very dangerous material
to feed stock. The station is DESTROYS
Of securing additional information of
any authorizations of the so-called
ground or mixed feeds, or other feed
stuffs that are being sold in the state,
| in order 10 warn owners of borseS and
live stock against them-W Wisconsin

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Forty million bottles of August Flower
sold in the United States alone since its
introduction And the demand for it is
still growing. Isn't that afine showing
of success9 Don't it prove that August
Flower has had unfailng success in the
cure of indigestion and dyspepsia-the
two greatest enemies of health and hap
piness? Does it not afford the best evil
dence that August Flower is a sure spe-
cifc for all stomach and intestinal dsor-
orders THAT has proved itself the best
OF all liver regulators? August Flower
has matchless record of over thirtyfve
years in curing the ailing millions of these
distressing complaints-a success that is
becoming wider in its scope every day, at
home and abroad, as the fame of August
Flower spreads. Trial bottles, 25c; reg

We are told that bill has been
formed in Camden asking the Leg
islature to redistrict the county In
order to economize to the extent of
less than $500 a year. tits almost
enough to make horse laugh to
see how economical some of those
fellows around Camden are-they
strain at gnat and swallowa cam
ell. We are getting tired of few
little "a politicians debating to
the entire county. The people in
the rural districts should be heard.
Think of having business with an
officer located Is miles away. So
economical! We oppose the bill
because there is not a sufficient
saving tojustify change.
We are told that it is the opin-
ion of the supreme court that the
Legislature could redistrict the
county. But why take this power
away from the county court, which
is better acquainted with the needs
of the people than the legislature
or any Judas Iscariot in Camden?
| am willing to submit this ques-
tion to the county court, where the
power is vested, but / certainly
think the precious time of the leg
islature Gould be more proftably
employed in repeating the acts Gre
ating the board of equalizers and
the election commissioners, which
would be greater saving to the
public.

No decided step has been taken
toward amending and modifying
the election laws of the State, says
the Nashville Daily News. 1t is
true, two bills have been introduced
relating to primary elections and
to the payment of poll taxes, but in
these the real demands will not be
met. There ought to be some mod
ificatlons, such as simplifying the
way of voting in order that every
qualified voter may cast his ballot.
None of the safeguards against bri-
berry, false returns and ballot box
stufing should be taken away, but
if anything, more stringent regula-
tions aud restrictionsin this regard
should be enacted. However, it
should beemade easy for a man to
vote when he has that right and is
eligible under the restrictions of
the law.
The Knoxville Sentinel urges
that the election law should be
amended in manner indicated as
follows:
ID The election commissioners should
be appointed by State board of com
missioners, appointed by the governor
and confirmed by the Senate
(2) The county commissioners should
be required to make their appointments
two weeks in advance of elections. and
fromlsts furnished by thetwo parties, and
these list should be published
90 Poll taxes should be paid from thir-
ty to sixty days in adv ance of electionsto
qualify voters-or the poll tax requirement
should be abolished altogether.
(4) The Dortch law should be extended
to every county, but the ballot should be
simplified and voting machines should be
made legal
10 Similar provisions should be made
for primary elections.
In order to prevent bribery, not only
candidates butpolitical committeesshould
be required to publish before elections
list OF contributions and after elections
detailed statement Of expenditures.
Evidence that bribery has been resorted
to should disqualfy candidate from re-
ceiving a certificate of election. If by
any amendments the penalties for bribery
or fraud can be made more stringent it
should be done.

 Now begins the season of exchange of New Years greetings and preparation for settling old feuds in order to turn over a fresh leaf on Rosh Hashhonah. On that day the synagogues will be open, and the shofar, or rams horn, will be blown in accordance with the following Biblical precent, Numbers xiX:1, And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; yet shall do no servile work; it is a day of blowing of trumpets unto you" Rosl Hashon- ah is a two-d days festival. The first ten days of the new year are days of special preparation for Tom Kippur, the day of atonemertt, the most sacred day of the Jewish calendar. On that day every orthodox Hebrew is required to abstain absolutely for twenty-four hours from food or drink or any kind of labor.

his authorship, and, having done so at public dinner in Edinburgh, as he tells us in the Chronicles of the Canon gate,'' he then gave his reasons for his baffling conduct in a subsequent pre- face. He has several explanations to hand. The WaYerley Novels, he argues, were gigantic experiment, and there- fore demanded anonymity. An experi- ulent they certainly were. sWaverly," with it's combination of the real and the imaginative, 5ustifies the assertion that Scott is the father of the histori- cal novel; since so popular. But sure- ly the success of the experiment. would have, in most cases, made the author
 doubly ready to acknowledge his pa ternity. Scott must have felt this ar gument to De weak, as he has others in store. He did not want fame; he
 had already won a sufficient literary reputation by his poetry True; but then he was being eelipsed by Lord
 Byron. His Lord of the Isles was, on his own showing, not much of suc- cess. Why, then, did he not seize the
 opportunity to recover his prestige ill another direction Again he explains that by remaining anonymous he could retreat and appear at will. He wished, in fact, to play the part of Ad- dison's Spectator, who knew every body and everything, himself unknown. Further, he says that he disliked per- sonal discussion on his works. He was afraid his friends might be too partial
 to him. And to crown all he gives as the real truth the reason that I never expected or hoped to disguise my con-
 nection with these novels from one who lived on terms of intimacy with me-" But then the authorship of the Waver- ly Novels was, in reality, not doubted by any one, at least of those who nov ed in literary eircles.- M H. H. Ma earatney, in Longn1an.s Magazine
