for the newspapers of the county,
in which he states his reasons for
looking forward to a banner crop
this year. Circumstances prevent
The Press from copying the arti-
Gle, as we would like to.
Brother School is perhaps doing
a good work to pat our farmers
on the back and saying to them
"Go it, old boy, get all the seed
you can and put in big acre
age"; but we ought to have anoth-
er prophet, to not let Bro. School
monopolise the field. Such pro-
phet should moralise on the sub
ject thusly:
''Dont enslave yourself by
working in the field ten, twelve
or fourteen hours day. See that
your plowing (backsetting) is not
less than four to six inches deep
and pulverized in good shape be-
fore you put any seed in it. While
you are blowing remember--re-

of ten, and make you work tell for
those five dry years.

the center of the office and then
set about his task. Inside the
drawer, neatly stacked into sep
arate compartments, were various
piles of bills-fve fifties, a heap of
twentieS, and several tens and
fves. There must have been
more nearly thousand than five
hundred dollars, besides a heap of
silver, which Menzies prudently
left behind. He would need to
travel lightly that evening.
Afterward with his knife he
ripped up the registered mail

him; he had not calculated that

that the mail would be light. He
thrust bundle of the more prom
ising looking letters into his

completely cowed and frightened,
the girl lay back in the chair,
watching him with wide-open,
Mortified eyes. Menzies antici-
pated no trouble from her. He

ters OF the year.
Even IN the elementary school the
plan has made some headway, par
ticularly in the large cities. Cleye-
land Ohio, formerly had an all-yeal
schedule which inclr ded the summer
term as one of four quarters, and
a modified form of the Cleveland
plan is in use in Newark, n. D.,
where it Is being gradually extend
ed from year to year. In the New
York City schools, where the prob
lem of sufficient school accommoda-
tions is a serious one, the authorl-
ties have recently had under consid-
Grafton an all-year plan which Will,
it is claimed. take care of practical
lv all the children without recourse
to half-time. An interesting indica-
ticn of the attitude of the students
themselves toward the all-year plan
is afforded by the new Central Com
merclal and Manua. Training High
School at Newark. Thirty per cent
OF the pupils Of this school voted
in favor of continuing the school
throughout the summer.
1t is claimed by the advocates oi
the all-year plan for public schools
in the large cities that the chill
dren are healthier and happier in
school than on the streets. 1t Is
further urged that by taking advan-
tage of an optional summer term
children who are compelled to leave
school at IN early age will be able
to advance further in the grades
than at present. Backward pupils
will also have an opportunity to
make up back work, but this has
always been more or less a feature
