THE RURAL
SCHOOLHOUSE
State College Makes Sugges-
tions That Might Be Fol-
lowed by Local Boards

.
The following bulletin, issued by the
Puyallup Summer session of the State
College will have interest in every
rural school district in the state:
PUYALLUP, July 24.-The typical
rural schoolhouse is desolate, bare and
ugly. Recall the schoolhouse you have
seen and realize to what an extent
this is true. Yet the place where
children, at the most impressionable
age of their lives, spend so much of
their time should be place Of beauty.
The members of the class in School
Grounds and Gardens at the Puyallup
Summer Session of the State College
are getting the training which will en-.
able them to change desolate and
ugliness to life and beauty. Lawns,
flowers, window box gardens, shrubs
and trees are all given careful atten-
tion. The principles of design as ap-
piled to landscape art are studied.
Plans for the landscaping of the Puy.
allup high school grounds were drawn
and discussed as a class exercise.
Each member of the class is now work.
ing on a landscape plan for his own
school grounds. These plans are dis
cussed in class, and criticised by the
instructor. They are drawn to scale
and colored. The trees, shrubs, lawns,
ETC., are indicated. Full instruction
is given as to what to plant, and how
to plant it. The student is able to
take home a complete set of land
scaping plans and knowledge of how
to apply them.
West of the Cascade mountains, es.
pecially, where green shrubbery NAV
be had in such profusion the year
around, the bare, ugly and lonely
schoolhouse should become a bower
Of loveliness, "a thing of beauty and
Joy forever"

This is one of the cases against faith

day in favor of the Poison Company
The company, 1t appears, purchased
from the Hansens in 1905 an indefin

Hansens' property, the agreement to
buy containing the provision that the
'right.of.way should be located and the
road constructed as near the foot
of the hill as practicable so as not
to injure the prairie land more than
necessary The Hansens claim that
was not done and desired the road
located from 100 to $50 feet north
of it's present location. The court
rules that since the Hansens made
no protest at the time the road was
being built, though they know then
where it was going, they are estopped
now from demanding any changes.

FLORIDA'S TWO
YOUNG CONGRESSMEN
Gadsden County Times.
} . o . o q . . . O Q q

I, Hon. Emmett Wilson, though this
us his first term and who is also one
of the youngest members of the house
in point of age is making a splendid
record as a national law-maker and
yields an influence in Washington that
would be a credit to any member who
has been there much longer than Mr..
Wilson. His efforts are being appre-
ciated by the people in his district
and he is making name for himself
that entities him to a very high stand
ing in the estimation of his constitu-
ency. Claude LEngIe is making things
hum in senate Washington and through
the columns of his Dixie is keeping
the people posted on matters pertain
ing to their interest and is telling
things that the people never knew
before, but should have known al the
time.
Florida is we'll represented by this
pair and it is safe to say that their
influence with the present admins
tration is far greater than that of
Sparkman or Clark, though the latter
have been in Washington for two or
three terms. 1t is freely predicted that
both Sparkman and Clark will be re-
tired, especially since Mr.. L'Engle is
showing them UP in their true light.
1T is a contamination devoutly to be
wished"

The President
Again Victorious.

Critics OF the president. who were
so greatly perturbed because he went
over into New Jersey to make public
speeches in favor of jury reform. viii
doubtless be disappointed to know that
the New Jersey legislature passed the
bill. Failure to enact this or similar
measure would mean the partial fafS-
ure. at least, of all the reform meas
ures. Mr.. Wilson was instrumental In
having enacted while he was governor
OF New Jersey.
Many reactionaries feared" the
president was going out of his place,
when he went into New Jersey, and
some even were concerned about the
presidents health. AS matter of
fact. they were only concerned about
the political machine In Jersey and
knowing that had the president failed
to get this legislation. 1t would prac-
tically mean the notification Of his
efforts In that state for the past two
years.
But In all of these bouts. the presi.
dent wins.

Cannot Down
the Prophets.

The prophets who predict disaster
cannot be squelched. It would seem
they would begin to feel somewhat
discouraged by this time, but appar-
entity they win keep up their dismal
croakings. They can see no good in
reforms ana they profess to believe
anything In the nature Of an innova-
ton is bound to bring disaster.
They foretold that the postal savings
banks would bring ruin to the private
bankers, but somehow the innovation
only added prosperity to the banking
business. Then they cried out that the
parcel post would destroy the country
stores, but the parcel post is proving
to be a success and the country store
is still fourishing.
It would be supposed that disap-
pointment would make these croakers
modest, but 1t does not. They will
shout Just as vociferously against the
next reform as they did against the
last, but their prediction of woes will
be just as futile.
The country and the world will con-
tinue to get better. Things are on the
ascendancy. Governments are becora-
ing more liberal and the people, more
and more, are taking charge Of their
own affairs and are regulating them to
suit themselves.

GREAT EFFORT TO SUPPLY
CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS

Editor Pensacola Journal
There is a great effort just at present
to supply cheap money for farmers.
So great is that effort that a hundred

to find a way to do it.

yes. and will also say:

have the option to repay said money
borrowed. at any time after borrowing
the same, by paying interest thereon
to date of repayment.
(b) The borrower shall also have
the option to keep said money, as
long as he shall want to do SO, by
promptly paying the interest thereon
annually and keeping the security
good.
"(cl The borrower shall also have
the option to repay said money, in par
t1al payments of one hundred dollars
or over at any time after borrowing the
same, and interest shall cease on said
sum repaid, as of the date of said re-
payment.

money loaned by the United States to
its private citizens and private cor
porations, shall be three per cent per
