Mr.. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,

speaks of it in the following terms:
"Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, 1

reliable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,

"Peruna has been my standby for

A FAMOUS OLD LIBERTY SONG

First Published In the Boston Chronicle of Au
~ ONE, join hand in hand, brave Americans all,
And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call
~ No tyrannous acts shall suppress your just claim
Or stain with dishonor Americas name
CHORUS.
In freedom we're born, and in freedom well live.
Our purses ready.
Steady, friends, steady
Not as slaves, but as freemen, money we'll give
Our worthy forefathers-lets give them a cheer
To climates unknown did courageously steer.
Through to deserts for freedom they came
And dying, bequeathed their freedom and fame.
Their generous bosoms all dangers despsed
So highly so wisely, their birthrights they priced
Well keep what they gave, will piously keep,
Nor Illustrate their tolls the land and the deep.
The tree their hands had to Liberty reared
They lived to behold growing strong and revered
With transport they cried, Now wishes we gain
For children shall gather the fruits pain"
Swarms of pacemen and pensioners soon will appear
Like locusts deforming the charms of the year.
Suns vainy will rise, showers vainly descend,
If we are to drudge for what others shall spend.
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all
By uniting stand. by dividing we fall.
In righteous cause let hope to succeed,
For heaven approves of each generous deed.
All ages shall speak with amaze and applause
Of the courage we'll show in support of our laws
To die bear, but to disdain,
For shame is to freedom dreadful than pain
This bumper I crown for sovereign's health
And this for Britannias glory and wealth
That wealth and that glory immortal may be
If she is but just and if we but free

Yes! when know the play is clean,

had the pleasure recently to witness
such play. A play that was sermon
in itself. The play 1 refer to was
1.-The Blind Organist." No woman
can witness such play without loving
her home and husband better, if she is
true woman. And man who attends
performance of this grand play and
does not love his wife and family bet
ter and who will not guard and cherish
their honor and happiness even to the
extreme, to such man say there is
something lacking in his make up and
he must be hardened indeed.

THE cREsco PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Supt. Nearpass Announces Some Changes
in High School Course.

At the request of the board of edu-
cation l have made few changes in
the course of study of the Cresco high
school introducing some work that |
have tried before and which proved to
be very popular and beneficial.
l found that the majority of high
school graduates go out to teach for a
time at least, and that after complet-
ing the ordinary high school courses
they are still woefully weak in those
subjects they are called upon to teach,
most of them being unable to pass the
examination for teachers certificate.
To obiviate this difficulty introduced
what | called normal and business
course. | merely took all of the sub
jects that are necessary for first
grade certificate and added to them
enough subjects from the other courses
to make thirty-two credits, and so ar
ranged the schedule that one starting
in could complete the work and receive
a regular high school diploma in four
years, or in case one had already finish
ed high school, or nearly SO, he could
complete the normal work in one year.
A number of seniors at once took ad-
vantage of the practical subjects offer
ed in this course, as did also majori-
ty of the lower classmen. Then, too,
number of post-graduates and
specials returned for a years review,
there being enough to form a post
graduate class. Not one of those who
completed the course failed to secure a
license, the majority of them securing
second grade certificates. One young
lady from an adjoining county, who
would ordinarily have ranked in the
tenth grade, took this work for one
year as special and was able to Sc

CO. 1t is course that is meant to be
intensely practical and one that should
appeal to the average pupil.
We still maintain the classical and
scientific courses for those who wish to
go to college, but in addition we offer
this purely practical course for the vast
majority who never expect to enter a
higher institution of learning. Below
is brief outline of the new work:

ship and Spelling one-half year, Physical
Geography one-half year.
Tenth Grade. English, Plane Geome-

half year, Botany and Agriculture one

Eleventh Grade. English, Solid

Twelfth Grade. = English, U. S. His
tory and Civics, Reading one-half year,
Didactics, one-half year, Grammar
one-half year, Arithmetic, one-half
year.
All purely normal subjects are taught
from the standpoint of how the subject
sh ould be presented to young children.
All tests and examinations are made
up from lists of questions used in the
regular state examinations so that
when a pupil graduates in this course
there is no question about his ability to
pass the state examination.

Weather. Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, August %, 1909.
The average daily temperature was
three to six degrees above normal, al
though the latter half of the week was
considerably cooler than the preceding
seventeen days. The weather was al
most cloudless until Sunday, the 22d,
and the few showers that have occurred
have been very light and widely scat
tered. The drouthy conditions haye
been intensified over the southern half
of the state, but corn on rich and well
titled land is holding its own remark
ably well. The late planted fields and
corn on poor and weedy ground has suf-
fered materially from the lack of mois-
ture, and the whole of the crop will de-
teriorate daily until good rain falls.
Corn in the northern part of the state
is generally in very good condition and
developing nicely. Much of it is beyond
the roasting ear stage and some of the
earliest planted is beginning to dent.
Late potatoes and pastures have also
suffered in the drouthy districts, and
fall plowing has been retarded. Thresh-
ing has progressed rapidly and is :prac-
tically finished in many districts.
