In the interest of our public
schools, l wander how many
stop to think what a blessing it
is to those who are growing up?
Little do we realize the good
these institutions are to us until
we have passed the school age.
If we would stop and think about
the matter more seriously at the
time When we are enjoying the
blessed school days. many of US,
perhaps would not throw these
precious moments away like
some of US have done. If we
were compelled to pay our own
tuition some of US would be out
something like $4p per year for
our schooling. But, as it is. the
tax payers pay it for us. But
the way some of us waste these
school days it stamps Us with
the indictment of shere iugati-
tude toward our benefactors.

Wornlna to Quail ond Game.

That famous nimrod and guide
Irving l.. Jones of the exchange
department of the Mercantile
Trust company, of st. Louis,
has joined the Bryant campers.
AS Mr.. Jones Is large of body
and slow of foot he sent his
lieutenants Andrews, Wands and
company ahead of him to trap
the quail aud tie them to conyen-
lent trees. in this way Irving
hopes that the birds will "fop"
themselves to death and save
him the trouble of shooting
them.
Jones is a great favorite with
the farmers around Bryant as
he always comes well equipped
with ammunition, being a tender
hearted man, has never been
able to hurt anything so the
game is safe.
