 A good home exercise is to start in with one pound dumb bells. With dumRbeI in each hand, come to posi- tion of attention. Bend the knees may share in the benefits to be de- rived from the movement, turn the inner side of the arms full to the front tighten the grip of the hands on the dunh bells and make tense the mus clesso the arms, then alternately dex or bend each arm at the elbows in- ward and upward until the dumb bells are in line with the shoulders, back of the hand to the front, shoulders and elbows we'll down and the upper arms closeFto the sides. In lowering the dumb bells straighten the arm to it's movements till the muscles ache. An other exercise is to raise each arm in a vertical line with the body, taking care to extend the arm to its full length over the head. The return movement should bring fhes elbows back close to the side and wellsto the rear The head and trunk should be kept straight. chest pressed forward and arms kept well back during the exercise! The action tends to open the chest and increase its mobility.

 I'm doing this largely on account of my two boys whom .wisa to bring up as farmers. I have had some chickens here, and they have not been very profitable, that sfs, from the scientific farmer,a and my object is to bring up my boys in such way that they will be successful farmers. When the time comes, I shall send them to an agricultural college where they will have a chance to learn what will ent time, therefore, I cannot look to farming as a means of Livelihood and will continue featuring until the courses for which T am engaged are finished

 It was first moved that the Wash ington school building should be set back and the new school built on the old site, making a sort of addition. Superintendent Villain B. Kelsey
