The front OF the building is for
the Sheriff and the rear quarters
for prisoners.
The necessary steel cells will cost
about $4,000 and are absolutely
tool proof, the cells are riveted TO

There are four tiers OF cells, with
cutter cells for females and Juvenile

persons.
The four tiers OF cells are separ-
ated from each tier, so that all

The above plan is one proposed to
be built for Audrain County on a 90

floors have settled, which was caused
by decaying OF jolsts aud improper
ventilation, tho building would
collapse If It were not for

MAKING GOOD
Taking New School Ideas to The
Rural Districts.

l.. B. Sipple, an Audrain Coun-
ty boy, who lived at Rush Hill for
a number of years, is superintend-
ent of schools of Adair county,
Mo. Mr.Sippleis a live wire and is
arousing great school interest in
his county. In certain districts
the patrons are tearing down the
old, or remodeling, out-of-date
school buildings and putting up
modern plants, with furnaces and
down to the minste improvements
and conveniences.
Mr.. Sipple sends us the above
cuts, one showing a modern school
plant, which takes the place of a
building erected in 1856.
At the dedication of the above
new building a few days ago fine
literary program was observed
and there was also a spirited spell
ing contest, two pupils each from
10 adjoining districts.
The Adair county public schools
under the leadership of Prof. Sip
pie are taking definite steps toward
the solution Of the problem of the
depopulation of farms on account
of the lack of good schools.
Instead of maintaining the old
ramshackle, poorly lighted, venti'
lated and furnished school houses
which repel rather than attract
pupils to them, the school boards
are striving to bring all of the
comforts and conveniences of the
most modern town and city
schools to the country. Dozens o

who erected one of these models
upon the campus of the Kirksville

and that which Superintendent

building in Adair county.

York, as we say we were thinking
of how short life is at its best
without the cyclones we had just
read about i'll the Message. How
many homes were destroyed and
how many lives lost. And while
we were thinking, after the awful
storms of the last few days, how
warm the evening was and how
beautiful the sunset, when our at

the evening. The sweetest, and
then we remembered that the win
ter was past, and spring had come
with all its music. We simply
could not enjoy this alone, so we
called our family out to enjoy it.
While our little ones sat upon our
lap we tried to explain to them
now we knew the spring had
come. Well, children when you
hear the little frogs making the
music as they never did before,
just listen to them tonight; they
are all singing. Did you ever hear
so sweet music, and how many diff
ferent notes they make" 1T
does sound something like music,
don't it, papa" one of the little
ones said. Just then we all heard
