What pleasure lives III height ?@-Ten-
nysun.
First; there's the joy Of freedom; to have
broken
The bonds that bound men prisoners on
Pacing little to and fro in chains.
Pinned down and powerless to rise, ex-
In dreams that seemed to speak of days
remote
In the, unimaginable birth of things,
Or to foretell a disembodied life
OF spirits in the unsubstantal air.
Then there's the joy of conquest: to
have brought
Earth to her knees, and all her powers
at last
So that we bow not unto her. nor ask
Her permit to transgress the bounds she
In the antique omnipotential days.
When men cringed to her tyranny and
crept
OF following the falcon and the hawk
With flight as swift as theirs. the Joy of
speed
And. oh to gaze on cities from the clouds.
To watch the earthmen with their puny
strides
And struggling PAGES iostle to and fro:
Then with unnfermitted course to soar
Above the foam and passion of the sea.
Height hath its strange and unsus-
pected joys.
Joys sealed long ages from the sons of
Joys incommunicable since too strange
For speech or language, joys to which no
words
Are welded yet, joys near akin to tears
And to the terror of primeval things.

there Will never. be another session
of school held in the little building
made possible by subscriptions from
generous and interested parties. This
building is much better than the
many housing district schools and
there is vigorous discussion in some
quarters as to its disposition. The
State for a long time paid the salary
of teacher and furnished books
and supplies but the school closed last
fall when the children were taken
from the island and sent to the State
School for Feeble Minded. This week
State Agent George G. Pease got or

Schools to pack the books and sup

them in readiness to deliver To one of
his deputies, Mr.. Starkey, as soon as
the latter should appear to receive
them. This includes the desks and

PROTEST MADE
AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should
be Expected to Tolerate Band
Of Trespassers Every
Fall.
(By BESSIE i. PUTNAM }

A few years ago, when the pioneers
along the line commenced to object to
the depredations of the hunter, they
were charged by hunter and surround
ing farmers alike as stingy and un-
accommodating But more and more
is there a growing sentiment against
having ones farm used as a hunting
ground.
At this season it is very easy to
start a fire. very difficult to check one
that has once commenced. Even
though the majority of hunters are
careful never to toss aside a lighted
cigar, never to strike matches in i'm
proper places, one never knows when
the careless one may come along and
do untold mischief
There is the annoyance to stock
The old saying, "One might as we'll
be killed as scared to DEATH" is ap-
plicable with peculiar force. Sheep,
worried by hunter and dogs. soon be-
come so wild that not even the owner
can approach them readily.
Cattle have been known to STAN
Ieed when a gun was fired in close
proximity. Such treatment is ruinous
to the dairyman. to say nothing of the
frequent accidents. when a valuable
animal is sacrificed. the hunter MAX
ing off with his game and leaving the
owner OF the land that much poorer
for his generosity.
Finally, the game is rapidly being
exterminated, and much of 1t is really
the farmers friend. The quail, the
clear note of which fills all bird low
ers with JOY, is one of the best insect
and weed destroyers.
A flock of quail in the potato patch
renders the use of Paris green I'M
necessary, and the detested cut-worm
is their favorite dessert.
The farmer feeds the world" but
there is no reason why he should be
expected to tolerate a band of tres
passers every fall, endangering the
life of his possessions. In many CON-
munities farmers are banding tOgeth.
er against the hunting nuisance.

Not long ago in looking over e
bunch of hogs in western Illinois We
observed that most of the animals
were afflicted with little sores, red
spots. on the Thin places in their
skins.
These eTuptionS were particularly
noticeable back of the ear and on the
TANKS. The farmer complained that
his hogs were not eating we'll and he
could not understand what caused the
sores TO break out.
This bunch of hogs of all ages. from
three-months-old pigs to three-year-old
sows. ran On n pasture during the
day but at night slept in houses which
were used for the winter quarters.
I suggested that the trouble might
be caused By lice, and the farmer
caught two or three pigs and found
them almost alive with parasites. He
was astonished and admitted that be
had never examined one OF his AMI
mails before.
Many farmers do not realize that
lice are a source of tremendous loss

The animals ana prevent ter feeding

II is not difficult to rid the pig of
lice by dipping or spraying. but these
remedies are of no use unless the
pens and sleeping quarters are rid of
the lice as well.
The best dip to use is some of the
tar solutions. as they are harmless.

sion because unless great care is TAX

FEW GIRLS REFUSED

ID. to Evade Order.

Old General Delivery is experiencing
today the sensations of reform. For
the first time in the Generals career
at the Washington city postofflce his
privileges were utterly abolished yes
terday and today his ancient customs
and habits were severely limited. Post
master General Hitchcock's attempt to
break up clandestine correspondence
between girls of tender ages and men
of presumably varying age went into
effect and mail was refused minor girls
at the general delivery window.
But refusal occurred in only a few
cases. The clerks in the windows gave
applicants the benefit of the doubt in
a, number of cases, the extraordinary
situation arising that women and girls
apparently insisted on being older than
they really are.
Trouble will really brew around the
general delivery windows later in the
day, according to expectation, for ap-
plications by girls for mail at general
delivery take place in the evening, as
a rule.
