my school closes.
Harking back to visit of Bran

seem to have seen all the terrific

Campbellsville, and came back
with pleasant memories Of all
they met.

disappointment, for l had no
gun except a fancy cane, and my
breath didn't smell like a distill-
cry struck by Tightening. The
average Missourian imagines
that a church or school house in
Kentucky has a moon-shine plant
as an annex. Hence, when
Bram's waiting friends spat out
their "chaws," expecting a hog

pointed.

theless, as the birth place of
Mark Twain, and of Jesse and
Frank James. the Younger boys,

Cole Younger is shining light

old celebrated Mormon Trail

followers in their exodus.
This sect originated in Illinois,

NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL WORK
Civic Organizations Have a Great Part
to Perform in Creating a City
Beautiful.

A great part of the task of bringing
back the country into the town must
necessarily be done by local pub
lie authority. To influence them to
do the work courageously needs the
formation Of a strong and sound pub
lie opinion. We have to create an
enlightened sentiment, which will give
full weight to the value Of human
health and happiness. After all. a
man is worth more than a bank vault
The making of good and healthy men
and women is the first consideration
of all.
But public authorities alone must
not be relied upon to do the work
The machinery of governments is too
slow, complicated, and heavy to do all
that is required in the best way. We
need also the inspiring effect of indi-
vidual work in voluntary organiza-
tions. These pioneer the way long
ahead of the possible action Of pub
lie authorities. They find out what
is wanted to be done and how to do
it. They educate all of US who take
any part in the work. however small
the part may be- They create the very
public opinion we need in order to
bring about in our cities a full reunion
OF country delights with town ad-
vantages.

feet of its rising too abruptly from the

TEETH SHOULD BE EXAMINED
Veterinarian Should Be Consulted
Where Owner Is Not Competent
Feed Must Be chewed.

A great many Of the troubles Of the
horse come when the owner thinks
he is treating him the best in winter
when there is little work and the
horse is turned out to pasture, or to
an alfalfa stack. There are a number
of points to keep in mind when dis
posing of the horse for the winter
SAYS a Colorado bulletin.
First of these is the condition Of his
teeth. Remember. If he has been liy-
ing largely on chop feed. or other
grain that requires little mastication
that his teeth may not be in condition
to handle the roughage Of the pasture
or the poor quality Of hay which is
usually fed to horses that are not
working. He may be parrot-mouthed
and not able to bite of the grass.
The teeth should by all means be
examined by a veterinarian, If the
owner is incapable Rough feed must
be well chewed before it can be prop
erly digested.

grown as we have advanced with this
