For Instance.

Jefferson Bee: Take, for instance,
Fschoo teaching. We VIII allow a
good price for this service in rural
Schools, figuring it at $40 per
month Many of the rural teachers
get less. But $40 per month for
'eight months equals $500 From
this sum must be deducted 81 per
week for board. or $12S. We Will
not delve particularly into expense
that school teacher has which
she would not have as hired girl
but will throw in such items for
good measure" if there is any good
measure in the deal. Thus, we see,
the country school teacher, at $40
per month, makes a net Of $172 per
year. However, we must pursue
the figures still farther and count
running expenses for four months in
which she has no work. II she has
10 pay board she is out 81 per week
for another twenty weeks, or $50.
.t il fair 10 figure this. even if the
girl boards at home for her board
is worth it to dad. Thus we see
she has only $50 left with which to
pprchase clothes, Or anything else
She may happen TO need

Joke onSomehody.

Woodstock News Was the joke
on the tramp spy or on A. J. Blu
zick?' Mr.. Buick was informed one
day that someone, playing the tramp
act, was tramping up and down the
Boone watching him to see if he
was catching fish contrary to law,
as his home is close to the Boone
river, Now Mr.. Buick says that
whenever he was at home Of late he
was in bed except when he was
watching this supposed tramp, or
spy, TO keep him from his chicken
coop. for the poultry house is close
to the river bank. Each was watch
ing the other and neither got
caughtS and as both men probably
carried a gun it is with great deal
of pleasure that we state that neith-
er one was shot. But you better
keep an eye on Buick, especially if
you have any idea Of visiting his
chicken coop.
