Fulton School Notes.

Examinations for diplomas will be
held at the Fulton graded school on May
9th and 10th, beginning promptly at a.
10. Pupils are expected to supply them
themselves with pens, ink and legalcap
paper.
No special exercises will be prepared
for Arbor day, May 10th, this year as the
diploma examinations fall on that date.
The eighth grade have begun work on
their garden in connection with their
agriculture. The ground has been pre-
pared and the early vegetables planted.
Thus far during the year many par
ents have visited the school, and We
thank you for the interest you have
shown in so doing. A large number,
however, have not seen the regular class
work of the pupils, and. since we feel
that this is the only way in which one
cali get true idea of the work, we urge
you to pay us personal visit during
school hours. AS the school year is
nearly over, we wish to remind you that
it will be necessary for you to do this
soon.
Since the opening of the spring term
the number of pupils in the primary de-
partment has been on the increase until
the enrolment is now Is. However,
there has been tendency on the part of
some in both rooms to stay out of school
to work. We realize that at this time of
the year and with help very scarce, there
is sometimes great temptation to keep
the boy out of school; and while such
occasional absences do not seem to affect
his work, it is true that every day thus
lost amounts to at least two days loss in
his school work. Not only this, but it
binders the work of the whole class and
very often results in disappointment and
encouragement for the pupil at the end
of the year. Under the state graded
school system a certain amount of work
is planned for each school year by the
state department and this work must be
finished before the pupil is advanced to
the next grade. It is not question of
time, that is that pupil is to spend one
year in each grade, but a question of
scholarship and ability to carry the work
of the next grade. 1t is unnecessary to
state that the work is made hard enough
to keep the average pupil busy every
day Of the school year and every minute
of the day Then what about the pupil
who is absent occasionally? We feel
that you, as parents, are interested in
the welfare of your children and trust
that we may have your hearty co-opera-
ton in this matter.

Quickly Tire of the Stage.

Miss Harriet Decker, a graduate of
the Columbian School of Oratory of Chi
cago and for time teacher of elocution
in the schools of Sioux City. Iowa, and
her sister Nellie, daughters of j. A.
Decker of GAINESVILLE, joined The Gin
gerbread Man" comic opera company
there, with the reluctant consent of their
parents, and departed Monday morning
with the players for Aurora, Ill.
They were to make their debut in t.
fairy chorus at Lima, O., Tuesday nigt
and remain with the troupe until to
close of the season at Philadelphia a
month hence. But telegram received
from them Tuesday afternoon stated
that they we're on their way home, and
it is surmised that all the fascination
and glamour of life behind the footlights
has been early dissipated by the sordid
realisies of the life still further back
behind the scenes.

SHOWS BARLEY CAN BE
GROWN IN RATTlESNAkE

PROSSER, June IL. F. Sampson
a wheat farmer of the Rattlesnake,
brought 20 town a fine sample of bar
ley which is almost three feet tall,
well headed, and will produce. he says,
fully so bushels to the acre. The grow
ing of barley in this section is an ex-
pertinent, but Mr.. Sampson and other
farmers contend that it can be made
a more successful crop than wheat. All
the barley used by the breweries in
this valley is shipped in and, if it could
be supplied at home, farmers would
have fine market.
In Montana, in the Gallatin and yell
lowstone valleys, the breweries of
Butte and Billings developed the barley
industry, where thousands of acres are
grown, and is said to be the most prof
liable crop that can be raised. Mr.
SIMPSONS experience demonstrates
what can be done with barley in the
Rattlesnake, which is destined, it is de-
clared, to produce a large acreage of
that grain in the near future
