John McFarlane, now of San Diego

short business visit the last OF the

Miss Ella Stearns, candidate for
County Superintendent, was shaking
hands with friends in Extra Saturday.

Celebration conditions are Just
right. The prospect for fine crop is
excellent. Corn, wheat and oats are
selling high and cattle and hogs are
high and there are very few farmers
but what have little spare money.
Nearly everybody will chip in few
dollars to hear the Eagle scream on
that glorious day. Audubon is max
ing great preparations for noisy day.
The more pleasing and pleasant our
government can make farm life, the
better it is for the government. Our
cities are overcrowded with worthless
loafers that might be honorable and
respectable farmers. The rural route
is one of the things that has been pro-
vided to make farm life more desir-
able and attractive and as we all have
to live off the farmers, nothing should
be left unuone that could be done to
make the farm inviting.
The injury reported to the little son
of Mr.. Harmon in our columns last
week was found to be more serious
than was supposed. The little boy,
while returning from school, thought
he saw an opportunity to get a ride
while Mr.. Zaner was driving past.
and, in trying to get on the buggy,
unbeknown to Mr. Zaner, he fell in
the wheel in some way and one of his
legs was broken in two places below
the knee. If Mr.. Zaner had not no
tlced him Just when he did. he might

While the modern system of school
work may be deficient in some res
poets, and no doubt the tendency is
to take on more work and too many
branches of study for the pupil to
master thoroughly in the time the
average boy or girl is allowed for
schooling, yet there is fault on the
part of the parents which is persist
emily left out of account in the arpu.
ment of the critic. The pupils, espec-
tally in the higher grades, are allowed
to spend the nights during the week
in various amusements which dis
tract their minds from school and the
loss of sleep incapacitates them for
good work during school hours. How
is the case in your house?
We were unable to get the score of
the Audubon Gun Club last week but

The best way to guard against

A pretty girl at Seaford, Delaware,

In the life of George Washington,
