Manual OF Methods issued by the
State Department is now complete,
and is being distributed to the var
ious rural schools, patrons and
school officers of the county.
The January teachers examina-
tons were held in the court house
hall Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, January %, 20 and 80. Sew
enteen We're present to take the ex-
aminations. The majority Of the
questions in Didactics were taken
from the Teachers Reading Circle
Books. The State Department has
expressed its intention of taking
the Didactics questions from the
Reading Circle Books and the new
Course of Study and Manual of
Methods for the Elementary Schools
of Iowa. We, therefore, deem it adj
visable for applicants who have not
taught, as we'll as those teaching,
to become well acquainted with the
above named books before taking the
next examination which will be Civ
en- in June.
The following extracts are taken
from a bunetoin on Social and
Civic Work in Country Commune
ties, issued by State Superintendent
C, P. Cary of Wisconsin, and are
worthy of the attention of the peo-
pie of Howard county:
eff parents everywhere would CO.
operate with teachers and in every
way possible studs the needs and
conditions in the school, these two
institutions (the home and the
schooD could accomplish wonder
full results
Zone OF the largest educational
problems confronting us today is to
get the parents to realize the value
of the school. Upon this depends
the solution Of the many other large
problems such as better buildings,
better equipment, better prepared
teachers, better salaries, better SUI
pervision, etc. Until the parents
realize what the school may do TO,
their children under the best condi.
tons, the schools will not likely be
what they ought to be and the best
results will not be secured
1.-The first condition that we
should be concerned about in the
home is it's sanitation. This should
also be the first consideration fol
/ the school. Health is an absolute
essential, not only to happiness bu'
to efficiency. If we want our chill.
dren to become happy and efficient
men and women we must pay close
attention to the sanitation of ou1
home and school buildings. This
point cannot be emphasized toe

Mules and War.

Along all the frontiers of the world
wherever there is a war there is a de
mand for the mule. Compared with
him the much Wanted war horse is a
vanishing Pigment of the past His
strength, his sureness of foot, his wari-
ness of eye, his ability to endure hard
ship and hard work on little food and
with little care, have made him invalu
able as a campaigner, whether in des-
erts or mountains. The mule has seen
the camel and the elephant disappear
from armies He may see the horse
vanish. He has seen the motorcycle
and the motorcar come in. He may
see the aeroplanes numbered by thou
sands. But 1t is not likely he will ever
see himself superseded in his own line
of work. There may be mules without
war, but probably never war without
mules.-New York World.

RABBITS DESTRUCTIVE,

From the standpoint Of the writer It
seems like a good deal of 6asco for
rabbits to be protected by law, as they
are in a number of central and east
ern states, when they do a very large
amount of damage to farmers and gar
deners. Even though they may pull
up some corn and eat some newly
planted seed, there is ground for pro-
tecting pheasants and quail, for they
more than pay for their cost of keep
in the service they render. The rab-
bit, however. performs no such serv-
ice, and the only excuse for encourag-
ing their propagation is that men and
boys may have something to shoot at.
However, this ought not to weigh
against the financial welfare of the
farmer and gardener.

SOUND BUSINESS MAXlMS.
Use Your Ability and Take No Stock
In the Law Of Chance.

Most men who have. amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination, combna-
ton which recognizes no man made
limitations.
Any kind of work is better than idle
ness, which is directly responsible for
most of the unhappiness in this world
Idleness is a dangerous thing. 1t
may grow into q habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness.
and the man who loafs on his Job is
only fooling himself.
Eternal, intelligent effort Is the price
Of commercial growth, and where there
is no progression there is bound to be
rctrogression. Business is something
like aeroplaning-to stop Is to drop.
and to drop is generally to bust
If l had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him l could wish him moth
ing worse than to land in a soft job
and get the loafing habit 1t would
only be question of time before he or
the job petered out, and the longer he
held on the worst off he'd be in the
end, for there is a law of compensa-
ton which somehow or other makes us
work in old age for the time we waste
in youth or suffer If we can't make
good
Pin your faith to this law of com.
pensation, but don't take any stock in
the law of chance; there's no such
thing Waiting for something to turn

AS a rule, American woods are Of high
quality, but the indiscriminate sack

Of insoluble paint in marking sheep
are Jointly responsible for loss to

HAVE PRETTY HAIR

Thick, Soft, Fluffy, and no Dandruff,
Use Partisan Sage.
If your hair is losing its natural
color, coming out and splitting, or lacks
that enviable softness, gloss and beauty,
do not despair-pretty hair is largely a
matter of care. If it is too thin make it
grow. If it is harsh and brittle soften
it up-lubricate it. If you have dandruff
it is because the scalp is too dry and
flakes off Freshen up the scalp with
Partisan Sage-all dandruff disappears,
falling hair and itching head cease, your
hair is doubly beautiful.
Partisan Sage, sold by w. II. Sheldon,
and at all drug counters, is just what
you need-a large bottle costs but so
cents. 1t surely makes the hair lustrous
and seem twice as abundant You can
not be disappointed III Partisan Sage.
