The effect on the schools in towns

OF the candidacy OF G. X Bell, last

an humble and quiet way.
The primary election vote has
now been sufficiently ascertained to
show that Mr.. Campbell has a decid-
ed plurality over all the other can
didates; and while he was not my
first choice, although | believe the
interest of the state would be per

have always done, bow to the will of
the people. While not advocating
or indorsing the rule or plan of nomi
mating our state officers by plural
ity vote as a fixed policy and controll-
ing precedent, yet, in view of the fact
that under the law all county nomi
nations are now determined by a plu
rality vote; and further in view of
the acknowledged imperfections of
the present primary election law, it
would seem only fair to permit the
same rule to apply to the selection
of a candidate for governor as ap-
plies to county candidates, especially
when the indications of the peoples
choice are so pronounced as in the

certainly be the surest way of pro-

IT'S MY HEART I'VE LOST, SHE ANSWERED.
from the barelegged children to the
wrinkled women who covered above
the hearthstones.
He was a favorite, too, with his old
uncle, Seamus McShane, who had left
Ireland for America years before when
Barney was only bit of lad. But
his uncle wrote to him every year, and
it was an accepted fact that Barney
would be his heir, though the legacy
was thing of the dim future-So dim
that it hardly made background for
present need.
Seamus McShane came of sturdy,
long lived race. Therefore it was with
a distinct shock that one fine spring
morning Barney received notice of his
uncle's death. The lads first feeling
was one of sorrow that Seamus should
have died in a far land without either
kith or kin, yet his uncle was only
memory, so it was pardonable that his
next should be one of joy at the pos
sibilities opened to him, for now he
could marry Eileen. How much he
had fallen heir to he did not know, but
guessed it to be in the neighborhood Of
f40-not a large sum in itself, though
it seemed like riches to the folk of that
wind swept, famine ridden village.
AS the news of Barney's fortune sped
his popularity trebled.
Il always had a fondness for the
boy" said Biddy Mcbride
"'Tis a foine lad he is entoirely,"
agreed old DOnnelly.
Barney carried himself mOdestly
enough. He was not unduly elated at
what had befallen him, though his
heart sang within him at his luck, and
his feet seemed scarcely TO touch the
earth as he went from house to house
bidding his friends to the wake which
he purposed having the following even
ing in memory of his uncle.
"'Tis no keening l want We to do at
ALL" he declared. "'Tis not in such
mournful fashion he'd have us keep
him In mind. But come and dhrink his
sowrs peace with me-"
No one in the village was neglected
from this general invitation, and they
arrived early at Barney'S bare little
home. where candles burned with a
cheerful glow and where laughter and
shutting of feet half muffied the music
played by a wandering fiddler All the
village was there save Hugh, and no

Barney's
Fortune

1t was spring in Ballymoran, and
the turf had taken on that vivid green
seen nowhere beyond the shores of Ire
land. The pungent peat smoke drifted
iazily against the intense blue of the
sky. Thrushes sang on the boughs Of
gnarled apple trees that skirted the
low stone walls. Barney thought he
never had seen the village look love-
lier: but, then, as every one knew, Bar
ney was the most happy go-lucky lad
in the parish.
A matched cabin of one room and a
couple of pigs comprised his worldly
possessions; but Light of purse and
light of heart" he often said, lis bet
ter than riches and the govt" He
found only one drawback in poverty,
and that was that he could not ask
Eileen Kearny to marry him till he had
more to offer her.
Yet hope is always astir when one
is young, and Barney knew that with
thrift and perseverance he could lay

in the peat boys with song OF his
lips, for he felt that every penny he
laid by was bringing Eileen nearer to
him.
He thought of this exultantly as he
strolled with her in the long twilights
when the wind was as soft as caress
and the scent of apple blossoms came
family on the air.
Eileen was like an apple blossom her
self, to Barney's thinking. She had the
same delicate coloring and grace as
airy as the swaying of bough. Yet
if she loved him she gave no sign. If
she smiled on him she also smiled on
his cousin Hugh, a sullen mouthed lad
far more prosperous than poor Barney.
Eileen divided her favors equally,
and the village looked on and wonder
ed which man would win. Now fate
seemed inclined toward one and now
toward the other.
The villagers themselves inclined to-
ward Barney. Every one liked him,

A leading eastern horticulturist is re-
ported as saying that as long as the
orchard continues in a thrifty condition
and raises profitable crops it is not in
need of fertilizers. but when the trees
show signs of impoverishment then
something should be done. We do not
know of the standing of this authority
in his home state, but it strikes one
that the time to fertilize the orchard is
before it begins to show signs of lack
of fertilizing. In other words, it is bet
ter to keep the orchard from getting
sick than it is to restore it to normal
condition after it is run down.

We once heard of a real decent young
man-educated, too-who went to work
upon farm during the hot. sticky sea-
son. Naturally he was very tired and
dirty after working all day in the field.
He had been used in days past after
such exercise to relieve his feelings by
taking a bath and putting on fresh
clothing, even though old. He thought
to do the same at this place. Having
secured the water. he sought for a
place of seclusiOn where he might use
it, but a large family and small house
did not ease the situation. As last re-
sort he waited until dusk had enshroud-
ed the place; then he quietly slid out
behind the straw stack. This Is situa-
ton too often to be contended with in
the farm home. 1t seems pity not to
be able to keep clean when one is natu-
rally inclined that way.

There are portions of the corn belt
where the chief topic Of conversation
the past season touching this crop has
been the ravages of the corn root
worm. A resident of such a locality
told us recently that in one field which
he examined early in September 80 per
cent of the stalks inspected were af-
fected by the worm, while in another
it was found in all, although there was
no outward evidence of the presence
of the worm in every case. The only
remedy for this pest seems to be a sys-
tematic crop rotation.

We know an orchardist who has been
greatly troubled with grasshoppers
this year who is going to raise a hun

the idea in view of having them range
over his orchard and keep this pest in
check. A number of newly set trees
in the writer's orchard are dead this
fall as a result of having the leaves
entirely stripped from them by grass
hoppers, while the damage done by
them to ripe apples has been consid-

There is no one of the faculties in
children that should be more closely
watched by parents than that Of the
eyesight. 1t is all too often the case
that defects which develop in the grow
ing child, accompanied by severe head
aches. are not given proper attention,
and as a result conditions which might
have been removed by providing prop
er glasses become permanent, entail
ing an expense and proving handicap
from which one is never free. If the
child in the home complains of eye and
headache, there is something the mat
ter. and the cause should be removed
as soon as possible.
