Where consolidation can not at once

The country school can not be greatly
improved by consolidation or other

We should face the issue souarely
and quit trying to teal tax payers how
to improve the schools without more
money. We should quit trying to
shift the responsibility to an under.
paid teacher, and should say frankly
that the country school must offer
more money Better teachers are not
secured by talking about poor teachers
and finding fault with them. but by
Offering salaries that will attract bet

better preparation and remain longer

Everywhere that consolidation has
been tried it has been approved al

In many instances consolidated
schools including the expense Of trans

improvement. However. no effort
should be made to have them cost less.
They are worth more and should cost
more. They usually lead to larger
appreciation OF the benefits resulting
IN mere liberal support for still great

What we want Is not cheaper but bet

No Argument for Cheaper Schools.
In working for consolidation we
should not use the argument that il

We lose more in personal influence

EATS BROOD UNDER HEN.
Snake First Charms the Mother, Then
Devours Chicks.

York, Pa. - Having apparently
charmed mother hen, blacksnake
feet 6 inches long was found coiled
beneath her wings in Elmer Myers
chicken coop at Craieyvine. caimiy
devouring her brood.
The attention of Myers was attract
ed to a disturbance in the chicken
house during the night. Entering
with a lantern, he found the fowls
all uttering cries Of fright and staring
at the brood hen which appeared to
be undisturbed. Some time elapsed
before Myers discovered tse body Of
the serpent coiled beneath the spread
wings.
The snake was in the act of swal-
lowing one of the chicks, and others
were huddled within easy reach, ap-
parently feeling that as their mother
had given no alarm all must be we'll.
Myers dispatched the intruder.
After an examination of the hen
he was convinced that she had been
under some hypnotic influence which
compelled her to sit rigid as the hor-
rible feast went on under cover Of
her sheltering mother breast.

Wham resented by knocking LaPort
down. The latter whipped out a

storing the specimens until fair time

OF prizes can be secured If the grow
ers will but do their part and give
the specimens. Persons having any
thing to send to the fair need only
notify Mr.. Sommerer and he will do
the rest Last year several prizes
would have been captured had there
been the required number of speci-

come as people have better chance
to learn the number required to en-

Among those things grown on the
project which should be given espe-
cial attention are potatoes, alfalfa,
corn, onions. cantaloupes, watermel-
ons. beets, carrots and other garden
stuff, canned fruit and grapes.
Some of these require at least six
pecimens, others five and some four,
but in every case the exhibitor should
not eonfine himself to the number
required. Make the exhibit as large
as possible in every case. This is
particularly true Of grapes and hon
