About Our School.

lhe Elbert school will open Monday,
Sept 0, with Mr. Charles Saltus in the
principals room and Miss Minnie Reed |
p the primary department. Both teach
ers have excellent first grade certificates
and have had many years experience in
the school room, 50 the patrons Of our
school have every reason to expect
profitable years work for our school
children.
~ but let the parents Of these children
coll to mind several important facts:
He, the parents, are co workers with
onr teachers, and our part in making the
year success is not inferior to theirs
het us encourage the respect which chill
dren naturally have for their teachers;
in the small vexations and difficulties
that are bound to arise let us be calm
and deliberate; il circumstances seem to
requre it, let us go to the teacher and talk
the matter over frankly and quietly, and
Ten to one the tangle will unravel and we
Yill lind there was no wrong. Whatever
TIE result, let us ponder well before we
say word against the teacher before
our children. Deep in every child's
brain is absolute belief in the infalibility
of Its parents. Breathe one word against
che teacher in your child's presence and
YOU will almost Immediately see its re-
spect for that teacher crumbling like
house OF sand, and with the respect will
pass away the childs interest and effort
ID its school work. With the co opera
ton Of the parents child will do very
fair work under poor teacher without
that cooperation the child may make
little or no progress under the most tai.
ented teacher procurable.
Let us keep in mind that every teach
er wishes and works for success in the
school room with an earnestness that
few Of us realize. That they have the
greatest distaste for corporal punish
ment, and when your child tells you it
has been punished in school the chances
are that it has not offended once but
again and again till the teacher felt that
duty to the school as whole demanded
its chastisement.
There is another point that causes
great deal of trouble and we parents

confidence in these tales. Keep in mind
that every child's brain is immature;
that it is not yet even constructed as
yours is, and consequently they often get
entirely wrong impressions Of what they
see and hear at school, and in reporting
those things, without any intention to do
so, tell what is not correct.
Let us visit our school-not once or
twice, but often. 1t is every parents

That there is profit in dairying,
which well repays intelligent and
painstaking study, is well illustrated
by the experience of Mr.. S. w. Cole
man, of Sedalia, Missouri.
In a little booklet which we have
just received from the Vermont Farm
Machine company, makers of the
U. S. Cream Separators, Mr.. Coleman
tells of his success.
On a farm of only ten acres, with
but seven cows, the total receipts
were $1651.50, and the expenses 1919
leaving a profit of $832.50 His
COWS averaged 400 pounds of butter
year, and the butter has taken the
first prize in his state fair, years
out of six This is all the more re-
markable when it is stated that Mr..
Coleman is unable on account of his
health, to raise his own feed-and
with the exception of the grazing,
buys all his hay, bran, etc. When we
realize the fact that many of our farm
ers who keep many more cows do not
clear as much as Mr.. Coleman does
with his herd of only seven, it does
seem that there is much room for i'm

sEPARAToRs ON THE INCREASE.

Farmers having only few COWS are
finding out that it is a great saving to
have cream separator on the farm,
for it was quite job to deliver milk
or cream to creamery every morning
the year around. The man running
twenty to fifty COWS soon learned there
was an enormous saving in handling
only his cream. The man with five
COWS now finds, with the cream sepa-
ratOr, he can skim his cream while the
milk is warm, put it into cool place
and deliver it to the creamery only
two or three times week. His skim
milk has been fed when it was in the
best condition and he was not afraid
of introducing swine disease, as he
might do when stale skimmilk was
brought home from the creamery. The
cream separator lightens ones hauling
and this item alone will commend the
machine to everyone who sells his
milk or cream to creamery.

Not all men make good dairymen,
but most men make success of the
business if they stick to it. If you
like cows and are willing to study
dairying as business, go in. If it
is marely makeshift from some other
business which is not paying, my adj
vice is to stay out.
The October dairy calf will pan out
the best, providing it is given proper
care. Keep them growing This does
not mean that they are to have grain
exclusively. They must have some
rough, bulky food so that their diges-
tive system will be fitted for future
hard work.

FAITH IN THE STATES
Local Government Responding to the
 Needs of the Times

We have great faith in the states to right most of the wrongs from which the people suffer, and to institute the needed reforms Indeed, the greatest work that has so far been done has been done by the states. Surely, in the face of such splendid showing we cannot consent to turn over the busi- ness of governing us to the Washington government, cannot agree that the only relief from present ills is to be found in centralization. We can do all that really needs to be done without destroy ing or even greatly changing our pres ent system of government. And those who are so strongly pushing for power and who are arguing from the supposed weakness of the state governments in favor of vast additions to the powers of the federal government have not read the signs of the times alright. Our state governments are great institu- tions. We have felt the breath of a new life, and have responded nobly to the new and righteous influence that is now stirring in the hearts of the peo- ple.-Indianapolis News.
