School---What It Is Doing
and a Plea Tor It's Con6nu-
ance.
Mr.. Editor: Allow me space
in your valuable . paper to ex-
press q few thoughts in, references
to the Red Hill school. This
school house is located ON the
border of four sch ,ol districts.
namely, Union, Fork Hill, Anti
och aud Rich Hill, but the house
is in the Rich Hill District.
This school is from two and one.
half to three miles from any my
school. This school house was
built solely by the patrons, about
eighteen in number, who cut the
stocks and hauled them to the
saw mill. {. And built . large,
good house, 3Ox40 , feet, & and,
made up a good school, for the
summer, paying s35 per month
for a teacher-money paid lin
advance. We now have fifty.
two scholars on the roll, and let
me pause and say right here
that a good number. of these
httleltots have never been lin q
school house before, the school
houses being too far distant.
And, again, we have a large
Sunday School in this house
every Sunday, about rs in mum.
Der On the 'roll!l This house Is,
filling q long-felt need in the
community, thus enabling little
children to avail themselves sof
the opportunity to get some edu
Cation which is justly due them,
and also to be trained up in the
Sunday School, while if it were
not for this school house some Of
them surely would grow up in
ignorance.
MIR. Editor, when l look at the
situation these little children are
in, and at the distance they are
from any school or church, and
hear of some fellow whose child
rem live in the school house yard
object to this school, it makes
my blood burn within my veins.
Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none, is my motto.
and it is Democratic, too. Oh
my God, how can man be so
selfish as to drag these little tots
three miles to school through
rough weather, over creeks and
branches,in rain and over muddy
roads, when his children live in
the school house yard? Is it
fair, is it just? AS | said in the
outset this school house was
built by the patrons of the school
who paid every dollar; as was
also the teacher paid. Now we
do not aim 10 hurt any school,
we do not want anything but
what rightly belongs to US, we
only ask for the money that we
pay in for school purposes to be
appropriated to this school. Is
it right for US to have it, or is it
right for us to pay taxes to edu-
cate the other fellows child who
lives in the school house yard9
This we must do the way the
thing is situated now or drag our
little tots from 2 1-2 to 3 miles
through all sorts of weather.

Fruit stains on white goods
are easily removed by pouring
boiling water directly through
the stain. Be persistent, if nec-
essary, and pour water through
for some time.
! A handy extra kitchen table
may be obtained without much
loss of space, by attaching a
broad shelf to. the wall by means
of hinges. Also hinge two. legs
to the outer edge of the shelf.
When not in use the table or
shelf can be fastened up against
the wall.

We're usually locked UP in the depot,
out on the night when they were
stolen they were stored in the cook

wnlie workmen were repairing the
roof OF the schoolhouse in dist. 78,
one mile west of Sutton, they found
the complete stolen outfit hid away
IN the garret over the school room.
one of the instruments was wrapped
IN an overcoat. Detective Cleary of
the c: G. w. company came down
from st. Paul and identified the
property: 1t is supposed that the

OF fear of detection. A key to the
school house door was missing at the
same time. -

he had been on the verge Of violent

with desire to kill. -~ =. -
Securing sharp bladed axe he
stealthlly entered the bedroom of his
son while the latter lay asleep, He
crept close to the side of the bed and
raising g the weapon brought it down
with terrific force across the neck of
the son. The blow severed the head of
the victim from the body. With a
manlacal shout Duffy rushed from
house and down the street, waving his
bloody weapon. Reaching the house
where his wife and daughter resided he
opened the front door and entered
Mrs. Ada LacOmb, the daughter, was

to this room the murderer opened the

severe cash on the elbow from the
axe swung by Duffy as he chased her
Mrs. Dufty's cries finally attracted the
attention of neighbors who came tc

the patron will empty the can and
clean same out with cold water if they
have no warm water handy. 1t is no
wonder some patrons get the milk
back the next day because the can had
no chance to air out and Was not fit to-
use for milk. ,
Empty your cans out as soon as YOU
get them back; rinse them with cold
water, then boiling hot water Use

Plan Of Model Milk House.

Ing arrangements, and steam heat
ing plant is also included to keep the
temperature even In severe weather.
This barn is far too expensive to be
duplicated under average farm condi-
tions, and is designated to test the
possibilities of high-grade milk pro-
duction, and is not presented as q
motel for farm dairies.
The milk house is separated from
the stable by an ante-room thorough
ly ventilated, through which the milk
ers pass in taking milk from the
stable to the milk room. Through this
ante-room they pass into straining
room, where the milk is poured into
a tank and runs through strainer
and small opening in the wall into
the separator room adjoining.
There is no direct connection be-
tween this receiving room and the
separator, so that the latter is not ex-
posed to the dirt of the stable. A re-
frigerator is attached, into which bot
tied milk can be placed as soon as
prepared and kept at low tempera-
ture until delivered.
A butter-making room is also pro-
vided, equipped with all modern ma
chinery, but the principal object Of
the building is the preparation of pure,
whole milk.
There are three points about this:
dairy that are worthy OF note by prac-
tical farmers: First, that the milk
house be separate from the stable;
second, that the mixers do not enter
the separating room, and, third, pro-
vision should be made for cooling the
milk Immediately after it is strained
! and bottled.
