Country Schools.

"In the old settled and rich farming
districts one would naturally expect TO
find the best equipped country schools"
said Charles A. Harding, of Detroit,
who represents school supply house.
"but ten years on the road has con-
vinced me to the contrary. If you
want to find up to date and well
equipped schools go up into some OF the
newly settled sections, and more than
that, they are more particular as to the
qualifications of the teachers they en-
ploy and willing to pay salaries which
will attract the best.
"In some districts in old sections the
equipment is substantially the same as
it was fifty years ago. 1 have seen
maps on the walls that were published
thirty years ago. and blackboards that
had long outgrown their usefulness. l
have visited schools where conscien-
ticus teachers have had to supply por-
tions of the equipment themselves in
order to do satisfactory work.'-Mii-

mere lad an accident with horse
resulted in the loss of nearly every
tooth in his head, and when he
reached his majority he had two
plates of solid gold substitutes made,
and in the crown of each De Beers
diamond was set. When he laughs
the effect is weird, more especially
when the sun catches the gems and
makes them flash like fire.

1929 Ohio Saloons Close. II.

Now that the new Aiken high Ii

Ohio 1929 saloons have been closed
and their owners and keepers have
been compelled to so out of business.
One thousand dollars for permit to
carry on the work of the devil was
more than these men could pay, so
they will seek other means of earn
ing living and leave the business in
the hands of law abiding gentle
men" who can afford to pay the Ii
cense fee.
Now it is proposed that law sim
liar to the Aiken law be enacted in
Indiana by the next Legislature. We
certainly would get rid of the lowest
dives and groggeries if such a law
would be passed. So much at least
would be gained.

l wakened from days earthly dreams
And walked alone with God.
The moaning winds were hushed in rest,
The world seemed sleeping after pain, :.
And where the cloudy rack had gloomed
The stars shone clear again.
Each wayside puddle held a glimpse I
Of heights wherein it used to dwell,
As if the rain had brought with it !
Memories of whence it fell.
Rained down and drowned in dusty pools
The quiet stars lay shining through; i.
And earth was all so stepped in Heaven !
That it was Heaven, too.
| listened, and the voice of God
Spoke to me in that lonely place;

And looked, and saw His face.
And ever since I see but God
In earth and man, in deep and height,
AS one whose eyes the sun has filled
Looks round, and sees but light,
