for their monthly examinations. The
Course Of Study recommends that
they be prepared by the supt at
the expense OF the County Board of
Education.
Now, wish to say to the teach-
era that think 1t advisable for
the teachers to prepare their own
questions for the first part OF
their schools for several reasons,
In the first place the questions
should only cover the work gone
over In the schools and while many
of the teachers are following the
Program and Course OF Study to
the letter and have covered prac-
tioally the same numbr Of pages in
each OF the Text Books. many oth-
ers shave not yet been able to fol-

Interesting indeed is the story of
reclaimed desert land, for it's history
reads like fairy tale with the ''lived
happy ever after" ending. Interest
ing too are the stories OF those with
the courage Of their convictions, who
having faith in the land of their
choice, have established permanent
and successful business enterprises.
The Richland Nursery Company,
established in 1907. have developed a
most profitable nursery business,
equal in fact to anything of the kind
in the country. With fifty acres Of
ground devoted solely to nursery
stock, the reader can form some idea
of the extensiveness of this business.
About thirty five acres Of this land IS
used for fruit trees only; another
fifteen acres are used for ornamental
stock, containing over $1,000 trees.
Besides this there are Is, 600 roses
propagated from soft wood cuttings,
which will be used for mail orders,
and also for lining out in the nursery,
besides thousands of Towering shrubs
and vines. The nursery itself is
ideally situated on irrigated land,

just on the outskirts of the town of
Richland, with a complete business
office under the efficient general
management of Mr.. g. f. Breithaupt.
Prof. w. j. Wander Bruggen has charge
of all the ornamentals and all pro-
pagating work. He is graduate
horticulturist from Holland and for
the past three years has held a posi-
tion as foreman with some of the
leading nurserymen and greenhouse
firms of the East. j. q. Breithaupt
and W. j. Breithaupt have charge of
the budding, grating. planting and
cure of all fruit stock. While j. II.
James is their travelling representative
with an experience OF eighteen years
in the nursery business. With such
an organization as this, the buyer
necessarily feels absolute confidence
in his purchases. We would advise
our readers sending for a copy of the
Kichland Nursery Company's cat
alogue, containing Ga pages. 1t is a
most complete and comprehensive
manual, prepared and edited by the
various heads of the nursery depart
ments.

A Good Suggestion.

Take your oldest son into partner
ship with you and let some of the
responsibility of managing the farm
fall upon his shoulders. This will
please him, and If he is an ambitious,
industrious boy he will accelerate his
interest and pride in the work on the
farm. But do not forget that partner
ship means that your son is to share
the profits as we'll as the response
bility. Without the profits his in
terest will hardly increase. Athens

Free Trial Of Edison Phono'
graph.

Evervbody who Is considering buy
ing a monograph, or is interested 10
a monograph, should not overlook
the remarkable offer now being made
bv r. K. Babson, Edison Block,
Chicago. Ill. This company has been
making this offer for four years and
ALREADY thousands of people all over
the country have taken advantage OF
it. for 1t is an offer calculated to ap-
peal to every lover OF music and OF
home entertainment.
The Babson Company's offer Is this:
They will send you genuine Edison
)ntfit with one dozen Edison Gold
MonIded and Amberol Records for an
a hsoiutely free trial. There are no
obligations on your part. You don't
have to send any money in advance,
and YOU are not required to sign any
agreements or mortgages. 1t Is a free
trial. pure and simple, with no papers
to sign. You will rarely see an offer
that leaves you as free to choose With
out prejudice or bias.
This offer is made because the Edi-
son has been so improved and de-
veloped that people who have never
heard anything but the old-fashloDed
soueaky monographs, have no idea
of the capabilities of the Edison until
thew have heard it. In spite of the
thousands OF Edison monographs that
nave been sold, there are many com
munities where the Edison has never
vet been introduced. In order that
everybody may at least hear this
latest model phonograph, this oHer
is being made. 1t is the only way the
company has OF making everybody
realize the immense superiority OF
these superb instruments.
There is no obligation to buy. ALI
that is asked is that you give free
concert and invite your friends and
neighbors so that they can hear and
eniov this wonderful toned lnstru-
ment. This gives the phonograph
more advertising than any other
method. People are glad to buy when
thew near the rich tones of this ma
chine and the variety OF the programs
that can be rendered. But no one is
asked to buy or act as agent. Just
the free concert Is all that Is request
ed.
Another feature of this offer that
makes a strong appeal TO many is
the Easy Payment Plan. You are
allowed TO pay Ior Ino PhonoSioPh VI
the very easiest kind of payments:
And you can use the phonograph all
the time that you are making these
50. 90 a month payments.
Mr.. Babson wishes to emphasize
particularly the fact that the Edison
is the only photograph playing the
new four-minute Amberol Records.
These are the longest playing records
known. They play musical numbers
in their entirety that would have to
be cut down OIL other monographs.
Every reader of this publication
should not delay about sending Tor
the great free catalog OF this new
Edison photograph, together with a
large list of the Gold Moulded and
Amberol Records. This is an offer
that will not be met every day, and
Won should take advantage OF 1t.

Scientific andy sis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments' ard the secretion of hydrochloric acid When your food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small inte stines, supply what these or gans need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the diges- tive organs back to their normal con dition.
