for school purposes, and the teachers
received about eighty per cent, and he
thought they should be satisfied The
last report shows that the annual ex-
penditure is about S75, 600 and still there
are those that believe we should have
more. Perhaps they are small contri-
butors.
As to an agricultural oonege. the
county is too small unit, and It would
be entirely too expensive. Ttough q
school for each congressional district
might be conducted to gooi advantages.
provided there was not too much of the
professor sort, as the state seems to be
cursed with that sort of education Just
now.
The question arises, why does the
boy want to leave the farm To
which there are many reasons, among
them: The days are shorter, no chores,
the work is easier and cleaner, the en-
tertainments are of better class and
then there is much better chance for
promotion. Give the country boz an
education and habits of industry and re-
sponsibility, and If the city would only
close her accursed saloons, when he goes
there, he will make good nine times out
OF ten. Your own observation in life
will prove this. Let us compare con-
ditions on the farm: Thirty years ago
received 26i cents per pound for wool:
today it is 20 cents. | got 81 % per
bushel for wheat, today it is SOC; hogs
were 81. Go per cwt. today S. rs; butter
and eggs were about the same then as
now, potatoes were Use, today about 60.
Then the tax on eighty acres of land
was about $l5; last year | paid SIS on
the same piece. Then the state and
county tax was about S2S, 900, last year
it was more than 500. 600. With a
new county officer saddled on to the
PEOPLE and the prospects of an expen-
diture of thousands of dollars for road
machinery, and the possibility of an ex-
pensive addition to the insane asylum,
with heavy appropriations for state in
situations, with an increase in expense
of 2l6 per cent. for the University of
Wisconsin, in the last ten years, and
with lot of high priced state com
missions. such as $50. 000, commission of
public affairs, $40 000 90 state high
way commission, $50, Geo 90 state tax
commission. sac, 600 industrial commits
sion, 500, 600 railroad rate commission,
and the end is not yet, because no one
has ever offered bill 70 cut any of
these schemes down or out. Ii looks
like we had enough expense.

50 then and thought so still. .

LIFE AND DEATH.

Life is Joy, and love is power;
Death all letters doth unbind
Strength and wisdom only tower
When we toll for all our kind.
Hope is truth--the future glveth
More than present takes away,
And the soul forever nveth
Nearer God from day to day.
