Obituary.

AS the sun rose in the heavens,
marking out another day, the sweet
spirit of little Jamie Hopkins Jones
from this earth was borne away.
Jamie was the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charlie Jones. He was born
Novem ber II, 1905. and died July
6, 1910. Jamie was a constant suf-
ferer all his life, but was ever cheer
full, always had smile and a
pleasant word for each and every
one. Oh, how sadly we will miss
our darling. but God knows best,
His will be done, not ours. His
h0wer-covered casket with its little
burden SO sweet and fair, was placed
in the Newhope cemetery and is
sweetly sleeping there. Father, moth
err, cease your weeping. Though the
parting sad may be, little Jamie
waits your coming on the other
shore. J. X.

CHEAP METHOD OF DRAINING

The windmills of Holland have -
their chief function the draining OF

land is . very damp country at all

of drawing the water off Of the land
the people would be in sore straits

All along the dykes may be seen
these windmills, silently but surely
performing their function of drain.
ing the lowlands. Steam pumps are
used in some places, and probably
viii be used in the gigantic under
taking that Holland now has on
foot of draining the Zuyder Zee, but
doubtless windmills will always be a
distinctive feature of Dutch land
scapes, for the wind rarely ever fails
in that country, and there is prac-
tically no expense attached to the op.
Grafton of these mills.
Even in the heart of Rotterdam
there is . large windmill for grind
ing corn and wheat, and while one
would think that in the city the
buildings would break the wind SC
that mill couldn not be used salts
factorily, nothing seems to interrupt
this old Landmark as it steadily
grinds away day in and day out the
year round.

MAKING TRAMPS WORK.

A state farm for tramps is pro-
posed by Joseph c. Baldwin, Jr-, OF
the New York state board of chari-
ties, and he intends to place the mat
ter before the legislature. His plan
is to have tramps detained for long
period and made to work, rendering
the institution self-supporting. Bald
win believes tramps will eventually
leave the state rather than work.
The basic idea is sound, whatever is
to be said for the state farm detail of
the plan The only way to meet the
tramp evil is by making the tramp
work-even if he is detained but ~
hours. 1t is a problem in this state
quite as much as in New York

Mr.. Editor:
As President of the School
Improvement Association of Mon
roe County, | want a word with
the teachers and patrons OF our
county schools through your valu-
able paper.
The old log cabin house with its
puncheon seats has passed from Us
forever, and has been replaced with
modern furniture and fixtures.
Through the untiring efforts of our
County Supt., aided by as loyal
teachers as ever labored anywhere,
many of our school buildings have
been PAINTED, libraries have been
established. and inspiring pictures
which are silent instructors, have
been placed on the walls; on the
outside, stumps have been removed, i,
weeds and briers have been cleared
away, gullies have been filled, and
in many cases flowers have been
planted. And now the reason for
this article:
Most of us closed our schools in
April, and were compelled by sheer
necessity to seek other fields of
labor. Meanwhile weeds and briers
have been busy chokeing the life
out of our flowers; spring and sum,
mer rains have cut trenches through
our school grounds, cobwebs have
been multiplying on the inside OF
our houses, and now the school
building and grounds, So inviting
but a few months ago, present any
thing but an inspiring appearance.
Shall we leave things SO until the
children come home in October,
and view the wreck that has been
wrought by our neglect. Believing
that every teacher in Monroe coun-
ty will answer no. and that the
patrons of every school realize that
it is their duty to cooperate with
the teachers in this important work,
| am going to name Friday, August
18th. as School improvement Day
in Monroe county. And ask that
teachers, patrons and pupils meet
at their respective schools on that
day, and makesa start toward i'm
proving house and grounds for the
coming session.
/ believe the work can be made
a source of pleasure and inspiration
to old as well as young, and that
a social relation will thus be estab-
iished between teachers and patrons
that will tell for good in the work
of the next schaol year.
Respectfully.

ed from faulty food being fed to our

disease known as pellagra. or the
corn bread disease, is caused by
faulty, moulded corn being ground
into meal and fed TO our people.
Corn in damaged condition,
am told, cannot be sold in single
State north of the Mason and Dixon
line on account of the strict State
laws, but it is run through artificial
dryers, and much of it is put into
bolted meal and unloaded on the
Southern people. Bolted meal looks
white. good and pure. but did you
know that most of it. if not all, is
manufactured by shelling the corn
by machinery and everything goes
in, rotten grains on the ends of the
ears, some of the cob broken off in
shelling, the worms that chance to
be roosting and feasting there at

above news that the Hartman line
was to build a road from Grants

remembered that the Courier has on

that a railroad would be built out
of this city to the sea, and when Mr..
O'Brien visited here the first week
in April, the Courier was able to
announce in advance what must fol-
low such an investigation of the
southern route made by Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. Miller. In view of the fact
that 1t came to the knowledge OF the
Courier office the Representatives of
the Hartman system had been in
communication with the Draper
Gum people, who own right of
way from Grants Pass to Waldo, we
had every reason to believe that the
Hartman line to the sea would re-
suit from the investigation of these
officials. After mentioning the
facts in railroad article published
April s, the Courier further said
"Other surveys had been made in
which the Hartman people were in

without question, not only the best
