COMMITTEE
REPORTS.

The investigating committee in
the Ricketts, McBroom controvcr.
sy, flied their report last Satur-
day, with Clerk ANN. Brown. 1t
will be remembered that this com
mittee was appointed last fall by
Judge George +. Martin, at the
request of Mr.. Ricketts,, to inquire
into the charges made against
Mr.. Rick ketts by Mr.. McBroom, in
the lalters campaign circular.
The report sets forth, in sub
stance, that the charge of Mr..
McBroom that Mr.. Ricketts, re.
ceived fees from both sides in the
case Of the State Of Ohio VS. Pence,
better known as the Swalbaugh
Case, was "absolutely groundless
and totally unsupported by any
evidence. A similar finding is
reported on the charges of like
nature made respecting the Col.
umber, Pinkstock, Mohler, and
Hedges cases. The committee
further finds that "the said charg-
es were carelessly and recklessIy
made" by Mr.. McBroom.
The committees sessions cover
ed a period of nearly one hundred
days, several continnances having
been made at the instance of MIR.
McBro )m, who pleaded want OF
time TO produce his evidence. The
committee consisted Of two Demo.

Our country school as it appears to-
day Is an important factor in the up.
building of the nation. 1t not only in-
duces higher education. but is the well
laid cornerstone of many q successful
business career. The caliber of the av.
erage country school as well as the city
OF town school depends largely upon
the people who patronize 1t for its char.
acter, and while our rural schools are
not altogether tawless they certainly
80 possess their good points. In the
hest place. a chance TO go TO school Is
offered to every boy and girl in the dis.
trict The child can develop and pro-
gress as fast as he Is able unhampered
by the large class or the duh pupil.
County superintendents, cooperating
with the teacher. are constantly plan.
ming better and more thorough in.
structlon. The uniform text book plan,
which is being taken up by many Of
the counties, will do much toward i'm.
proving the country school. We live In
a rapid age. and up to date and uni
form text books are necessary IN order
to secure the best results. Better wages
will secure better teachers: but, then.
that is your lookout; possibly you are
satisfied. If you are out OF sympathy
with the school get over 1t: take time to
visit IT. get acquainted with the new
teacher ask her TO your home. Try TO
refrain from discussing every trivial
happening al school with your children;
the habit grows. If dissenslon has been
aroused over some incident investigate
before yGn wholly condemn. Admit
that your children have dlsagreeable
habits as well as good qualities. Take
an interest in the scboohOuse and
grounds See that repairs are kept up
and the needed supplies furnished. In
fact. much of the success OF your
school depends upon yon. fathers and
mothers aud you should not let pride,
jealousy or Indifference In any way in
terfere with the performance of your
duty.

TIE HORSE TO RAISE.

A successful horse buyer told us in
response to the question as to which
netted him the most money in the han
ding, driving or work horses, that he
never made enough money out OF the
driving horses he HAD handled TO buy Il
good draft team. He maintained that
there were too many little things which
Influenced the price of a horse for drlv-
ing purpOses-a slight scratch, pecul-
iarity in gait, n fault in color or dispO-
sltion-any one Of which might knock
tens OF dollars Off the market price Of
the animal. On the other hand, draft
horse of good size and weight, even
though somewhat cut and scratched
and with perhaps SPAWN or two,
could always be sure of buyer who
wanted good horse to work regard
less Of the fact that he was not entirely
sound.
