For the Retirement of Country
Life.

President Roosevelt has suggested
thlt the commission on country life
task the farmers to come together II
the several school districts of the coun
try so that they may meet and consider
che questions concerning which the
commission is seeking information. The
president declares that these discussions
be held not later than Saturday, Dec. 8
We request that you suggest 70 the
ichool officers, or other leading citizens,
IN the several school districts, to meet in
their school houses or other customary
meeting places. and discuss the general
economic, social. sanitary or educational
conditions of country life in their re.
spective neighborhoods.
This request will be to all county
snperintendents, or equivalent officers,
in the United States, in order that these
subjects may be everywhere discussed
practically simultaneously. The meet
fngs should be held not later than the
nrst week In December.
The whole success of the work of the
commission depends on the attitude and
cooperation of the farming people OF
she United States. The commission
represents them, aud it needs their sug-
gestious.
In this work OF the betterment of
their own condition, it is earnestly
hoped that our rural folk will take an
active interest in seeing that such meet
ings be called and that they give con-
sidsra'ion to some of the questions sug.
eested and report thereon to the COM
mission on country life at Washington,

The bishop had just landed a blue

was finally hauled into the cockpit of
the Sally B. it had displayed undoubted
qualities of gameness that had warmed
the cookies of the bishops heart.
Therefore. as Jim Croker. who al
ways took the bishop out when he
ished in sepennessett bay. Hattened
down the sheet and headed the little
catboat for the rips once more there
was a seraphic smile on the bishops
intellectual face.
He stood with one foot on the seat.

taking In delightedly the sparkle and
fash Of the water and the little white
clouds creeping up above the horizon.
Those clouds whispered Of smart
breeze later on. and with the wind
freshened bit It would be an ideal
day for fish. Anon the bishop turned
to survey his latest catch. and each
time as he did so he gave a little
chuckle of satisfaction.
Suddenly there was O mighty tug at
the line; astern was fash of blue
and silver as the fish leaped from the
water The bishop took firmer hold
on the line. and his eyes glowed with
excitement
Ease her up bit, Jfm," he called
to the man at the tiIler. Look at the
fellow I've hooked this time. He's the
father OF them allr'
So engrossed was the bishop with
his fish that he did not hear the quick
painting of a gasoline engine. nor did
he see the power boat tearing toward
them. sending up twin waves of white
spume at its bow.
Just as the second ashland 1t was
considerably larger than the first-was
hauled aboard the Sally B. the cough
ing exhaust of the engine ceased and
the power boat shot alongside.
