The Rural oraduates.
Dear Editor,

DehE EuitOr;
Believing that some items con-
corning rural schools will be of
interest to your many readers, /
submit the following:
Last year / took up the work
of rural graduation, and succeed
ed in getting quite a number of
the teachers to cooperate with
me in It. The result of our first
effort was, that fifty-one pupils
took the examination and receiv-
ed diplomas. l have received
examination papers and grades
from more than that number
already for 1909, with the promise
Of a large number yet to be sent
in. OF those that graduated last
year, a large per cent. of them
are in the high schools of the
county, or in some of the colleges.
One young man, Roswell Hender-
son, who won the $40 scholarship
offered by Westminster College,
is attending that school. OF the
six boys in Cuivre township, who
took the examination last year,
five are in Vandalia high school.
Five boys and four girls contested
for the Vandalia scholarships,
while nine girls competed for the
Mexico scholarship. I predict,
from the number of boys taking
the examination this time, that
the Mexico school board won t
give both scholarships to girls
this year.
The following schools have
taken up this work this year
New Michigan, Miss Jennie Ball,
teacher; Pleasant Plains, Miss
Pearl Parker, teacher; Prairie
Mound, Miss Daisy Humphrey,
teacher; Prairie Hill, Miss Dollie
Grigsby, teacher; Daniel, Laura
Brown, teacher; East Lick, Miss
Martha Montague, teacher; Ed
wards, Miss Jennie Worland,
teacher; Fennewald, Miss Kath-
eryn Moore, teacher; Elm Bend,
Miss Matte Talley, teacher
Beagles, Miss Vinita Cowherd,
teacher; Dye, Miss Myrtle Dun
kin, teacher; Hedgedale, Miss
Fife Bryson, teacher Union, Mrs.
Hattie Muir, teacher; Cedar
Grove, Miss Jessie Allison, teach
er; Flynt, Miss Annie Marshall,
err; Flynt, Miss Annie Marshall,
teacher; Maple Grove, Miss Alma
Keiser, teacher; Prairie Lea, Mr..
Z. E. Shay, teacher; Carter, Miss
Mabel Cook, teacher; Naylor,
Miss Mary Harrington, teacher
Good Water, Miss Grace Smith,
teacher. There are other schools
that will likely report later: A
good mother, down in Cuivre
township, who is proud of her
boys, has the right idea of rural
graduation. She says it is the
link that joins the rural school
to the high school. I am pleased
to announce to the graduates
that several valuable scholarships
will be offered this year.

Frult Growing In The PanhandIe

The following communication
from II. =. Gould, United States
Horticulturist, in charge Of the
fruit investigation, writes with
reference 30 the fruit industy
Of the Plains
To one who knows the Pan
handle Of Texas, especially the
climate conditions which prevail
there, simply from published
accounts, the possibility of sue
cessfulIy growing fruit at any
point within It's borders, may
seem rather remote yet at a
number Of points quite widely
separated from one another a
considerable fruit growing inter
est has been developed.
Fruit growing in this region
is. and must remain, for the
most part, a home making propo-
sition, rather than a commercial
enterprise, though, there are a
number of excellent orchards in
the heart of this area which are
Of sufficient size to yield a very
attractive income i'm seasons Of

We have received this morning as to
why Harry Cooks orchestra chair was
vacant at last nights performance in
the opera house. He has been dis
charged, three of the members refus-
ing to play if he did, claiming he
broke a written agreement entered
into some time ago. II he did he was
acting on the urgent advice of his
mother and sisters. We felt that by
living up to the letter of agreement
he was hurting his own interests, as
he did not take any other musicians

mans business. by playing where he
did. We therefore his mother and
sisters are responsible for this state
ment of our side of the case to the
public.

cHlcKEN-Pox EPIDEMIC
sennington's LATEST Aftletion and
Reason Therefor.

Chicken-pox, an acute, specific, in
fictitious disease has become epidemic
in the village of Bennington and all
attempts thus far Of the authorities to
stop its progress, seem to be futile.
1t has come TO the knowledge of
Health officer Stillson within few
days, that of a family of three small
children all under school age the
youngest a babe was attacked with the
disease and the other two the follow
ing morning. This proves that these
children were infected by some one
suffering from the disease who was
running at large. Parents in known
instances think it "a good time to
take chicken-pox and have it over, :"
which is possibly the occasion for the
assumption of its epidemic form
Is it possible that people do not
know that there is danger in this rea-
soning, and that children land grown
up people too whose defective eye
sight compelling the wearing of spec
tacles was not improved by an attack
of chicken-pox? The period of incu-
baton is from eight to eighteen days,
