The proposition of the Farmers Tn.
ion to use cotton bagging this fall also
brings to the front many other uses to
which cotton can and shauld be put. In
Texas the larger portion of the flour
sold is in sacks, it coming some cheaper
in that way than when encased in wood.
Why not encourage this in Mississippi
The more cotton used in this way the
larger the demand and, of course, the
higher the price.

1t was hoped that meeting his child
once more would result in inducing
him to abandon his wildwood exist
ence and to return to civilization; and
it did-partially. He seemed happy to
meet his daughter again, consented to
return with them when ready, and
after a couple of weeks sojourn here,
the canoes were packed and all set out
for civilization and Greenvale once
more.
But home, sweet home" albeit it
was, as in this case, a lonely log cabin
in a vast wilderness, proved stronger
than parental love or aught else; and
sometime during first nights camp on
the way out, this strange recluse stole
away in his canoe and returned.
It's natur," Old Cy observed when
morning came, IAN home is the hard

years. He's got wonted to it like a

It seemed an indisputable, if disap-
pointing, fact, and Martin led his party
back to the hermit's home once more.
Another plan was now considered
by Martin-to buy the township, or at
least large tract enclosing this lake,
build a more commodious log cabin Tor
the use Of himself and his wife, and
spend a portion Of each summer there.
There we're several reasons other than
those of affection for this decision.
This lake, perhaps half a mile In
diameter. teemed with trout. The low
mountains enclosing it were thickly
covered with fine spruce and fr,

birch grew in the valleys; deer, moose

& cJHERARD co,

Lew was starting fire, Ray wash
ing potatoes, and Martin, in his shirt
sleeves, using towel vigorously near
the canoes, when Angie and Chip
emerged that morning; and now while
breakfast is under way, a moment
may be seized to explain who the peo-
pie were and their mission in this
wilderness.
Many years before, in a distant vii
lage called Greenvale, two brothers.
David and AMI Curtis, had quarreled
over an unfortunate division of in
herited land. The outcome was that
AMI, somewhat misanthropic over
the death of his wife, and of peculiar
makeup, deserted his home and little
daughter Angelina, and vanished For
many years no one knew of his where
abouts, and he was given up as dead.
In the meantime his child, cared for
by kindly woman known as Aunt
Comfort, had grown to womanhood.
About this time a boyhood sweetheart
of Angelines, named Martin Frisbie,
who had been gathering wealth in a
distant city invited a former school
mate, now the village doctor in Green
vale, to join him on an outing trip into
the wilderness.
Here something of the history of
notorious outlaw named MCGUIRE be-
came known to Martin, and more i'm
portant than that, a queer old hermit
was discovered, dwelling in solitude
on the shore of small lake. Who he
was, and why this strange manner Of
life, Martin could not learn, and not
until later, when he returned to Green
vale to WOO his former sweetheart
once more, did he even guess Here,
however, from description furnished
by a village nonedscript,-a sort Of
Natty Bumpo and philosopher com
bined, known as Old Cy Walker who
had been Martins youthful companion,
he was led to believe that the queer
hermit and the long missing Amzi were
one and the same.
Another trip into this. wilderness
with Old Cy, taken to identify the her.;
init, resulted in proving the correct
ness of the surmise. Then Martin set
about making this misanthropic re-
cluse more comfortable in all ways
possible; and then, leaving Old Cy to-
keep him company, he returned to-
Greenvale and Angie
A marriage was the outcome Of his,
return to his native village, and then,
with his nephew, Ray, and long-tried.

Salute to the Flag for Schools.

unison the song ''America"-"My
Country It's of Thee
In the primary departments, where
the children are very small, they are
taught to repeat this, instead of the
pledge as given for the older children:
Il give my head and my heart to God
and my Country.
One Country, one Language, one
Flag"
In some schools the salute is given
in silence, as an act of reverence. IN
accompanied by any pledge. At
signal, as the Flag reaches its sta
ton, the right hand is raised palm
downward to a horizontal position
against the forehead, and held there
until the flag is dipped and returned
to a vertical position. Then, at
second signal the hand is dropped
to the side and the pupil takes his
seat.
The silent salute conforms very
closely to the military and naval sa-
lutte to the flag.
Principals may adopt the silent
salute" for a daily exercise and the
"pledge salute" for special occasions.
