Capitalization.

The Carnegie Foundation Report
is the longest step toward state au-
thority in schools we have taken. The
central feature of that report is the
Capitalization of school authority and
school opportunity. But it probably
will be impossible to bring our chilo-
rem into central high schools. In
this matter we must consider folks
as well as geography and in some sec
tions the folks will not concentrate.
We have had some Capitalization
which has been very successful but
many of the recommendation in the
report are more ideal than practical.
The central idea is a reorganiza-
ton of the agencies of Capitalization
and the immediate suzerainity of
state authority over our schools,
strong well centralized and efficient
state control in our educational work
This is the first and fundamental
step in educational reform. We
want a nonpartisan, wise, strong state
board of education. The commits
sioner of education should be a lead
er in educational policies with three
or four assistants.
We need an accounting to state
authority of the work done by edu-
cationaI officials. We do not know
how our superintendent of education
is working. We presume he is CIV
ing good work but the state ought
to know whether he is or not. The
state of Vermont is spending over
100000 per year for schools but it
is not all used to the best advantage
for stimulating the schools. This
state board would give years to the
study of these problems and in the
end will work them out right.
Higher Education.
The Carnegie report has INDUCED
in considerable criticism of the three
institutions of higher education in
the state and some of it unjust criti-
cism but the speaker believed it
would have a wholesome effect. There
is the assumption that Vermont can
not afford any assistance to higher
education. He was surprised they
had made such a report without any
examination of the resources of the
state. This conclusion is simply as
sumed and he did not believe the as
sumption valid. The state auditor
has just reported an increase OF
$50, 900 income from savings banks
alone, half Of all our higher educa-
ton costs.
In this report the state is shut up
to the proposition of owning any in
stitution of higher education or hav-
ing anything to do with it. This is
not a principle followed out in any
eastern state. Public libraries are
many times the donation of a gener-
Gus benefactOr, controlled by board
of self perpetuating trustees but re-
ceive help from the town or state.
1t would be a mistake to say If the

A Few Doses Relieves All Such

Miseries. Bladder Weakness, Kid.
ney Trouble and Rheumatism
Promptly Vanish
1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to con-
tend with, or be tortured with rheu-
matism, stiff joints, and it's heart
wrenching pains, for the new dis
covery, Croxone, quickly and surely
relieves all such troubles.
CrOXOne is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is en-
tirely different from all other RENE
dies. 1t is not like anything eIse
ever used for the purpose. 1t acts
on the principle of cleaning out the
poiSons and removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the
walls, membranes and Innings, like
water in a sponge, neutralizes, dis
solves, and makes the kidneys sift
out and filter away, all the uric acid
and poisons from the blood, and
leaves the kidneys and urinary
organs clean, strong, healthy and
we'll.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that it is practi-
cally impossible to take it into
the human system without re-
suits. There is nothing else on
earth like it. 1t starts to work the
minute you take it and relieves you
the first time you use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs
of kidney, bladder troubles, or rneu-
matism, such as puffy swellings
under the eyes or in the feet and
If you are nervous, tired,
and run down, or bothered with urf-
nary disorders, Croxone will quickly
relieve you of your misery. You
can secure an original package of
Croxone at trifiing cost from any
drst-class druggist. All druggists
are authorized to personally re-
turn the purchase price If it fails

which is most convenient We try
to keep each ones share evenly pro
portioned, but this is the hardest
part of the work, for most of the
mothers are so grateful that they
frequently send jar of fruit or pre-
serves when their children's share
of the lunch is a quart Of milk or
some butter. Parents are interested
in hot lunches for their children when
they would be actively opposed to
Domestic Science. This is splendid
opportunity for the teacher to give
good lesson in Domestic Science, for
the talk can be turned to food values,
the care and cooking of food, etc.,
and since the children have helped to
plan the dinners they have become
interested in these things.
We have a variety of dishes that
we serve, but soup served very not
and hot chocolate are our favorites.
Boiled beef with noodles and pota-

Mrs. George Lloyd.

Louisa Jane Fear Lloyd was born
December %, 1861 in Dyersville, Du-
buque county, Iowa, and died at her
home in Grand River August 81,
1914. aged 50 years, months and
days.
She came with her parents to De-
catur county in the year 1871. She
was married to George Lloyd Feb
ruary 4, 1885, at Garden Grove,
Iowa, by Rev. Hancock. To this
union were born children; Mabel
Graves, Jessie Andrew, Clifford,
Ralph and Frank, all of whom still
survive here and were present at the
funeral.
She joined the M. E. church in
1891 and remained in this connec-
ton till she was called to the Church
Triumphant which is without fault
before the throne of God.
For years Mrs. Lloyd has been a
sufferer but bore her trouble with
such patient sense that when ap-
prised of the seriousness of her trou-
BILE it did not seem to disturb her.
Her plans for the funeral were
made as calmly and as intelligently
as you would plan your daily tasks.
She took her condition as matter
of course. She leaves the highest
testimonial of true woman's
worth. She leaves these pleasant
memories as a legacy for her chill
dren and the fact that she did a
woman.s part toward her husband
Funeral services were held at the
M. E. church, Tuesday, Sept. LIST,
conducted by Rev. P. H. Hawk and
the remains taken to Decatur City
for interment.

Elephants are the Wisest of Animals
''Gyp'' with Gollmar Bros Big
Shows, Almost Human in OPP.
Grafton on Tooth.

Much has been said and written
pro and con, as to what family of
lower animals is the most intelligent.
The horse and the dog are those that
come under the observation of the
layman, but if one asks a Snowman
Of the tented world to decide the
question he will give the honors to
the Elephant. Elephants do many
things that are almost beyond belief.
When they come in contact with a
human being the massive creatures
seem to recognize the biped as the
more wonderful creature than them
selves. In distress the Pachyderm
will appeal to the human for relief.
A few days ago representative of
Gollmar Bros, Americas Greatest
Shows which will exhibit at Leon
on Thursday, Sept. II, was asked his
opinion about the animal sagacity.
He told story of an elephants wis
dom that already proves these crea-
lures the wisest. "He had an ele-
plant" said the Snowman, that suf-
fered from an liberated tooth. But
few persons know that an elephant
has eight teeth, yet such is true. The
animal was in great pain; as soon as
his ailment was diagnosed the show
man set about giving the Pachyderm
relief; for six hours four trainers
made huge fax seed poultices and
applied them to the elephants jaw.
Meanwhile of course, the big beast
was lying down. When relieved to
some extent one of the trainers OPP
ened the elephants, mouth, with
brace and fine steel bit he bored
through the top of the tooth and
broke the abscess that had formed.
The elephant stood the ordeal with
patience and nerve. His relief was
SO great that he fairly danced with
joy after the operation. He knew,
all the time that his trainers were
trying to relieve him. After the tooth,
was bored dentist put in an ANAL
gam filling. This elephant, "Gyp"
by name, is with the Gollmar Bros.

Serving Hot Lunches in Country
School.

School.
/ began serving hot lunches in my
school in September, 1911, because
the cold lunches the children brought
with them were SO unappetizing and
lacking in nutrition. We have not
missed having our daily hot dinner in
all the twenty-four months of school
that have followed our venture. We
have found that it pays. The chill
dren do more and better work, the
attendance has improved, and the
parents tell me that the general
health of the children is better.
We prepare the vegetables for din
ner at recess and it takes only. a
moment to set them over the IRE
later. If l am busy when the cook
ing needs attention, one of the girls
attends to it, and does it as quietly
and naturally as she would lay aside
her book or sewing in her own home
under the direction of her mother.
We use our desks for tables. Each
child lays his table and furnishes his
own bowl, plate, paper napkins. cup,
knife, fork and spoon. After lunch
each one clears his own table and
takes his dishes to the deSk that 10

THE PROBLEMS OF IRRIGATION

Gov. Ammons OF Colorado, acting
on suggestion of Secretary of the
Interior Lane, has asked the COVER
nors of the Western states to meet
and confer ON irrigation problems.
They are asked to consider these
matters at The conference of Yves
tern governors meeting in Denver
the second week in April.
There is a general popular failure
to realize the basis on which pros
perity rests i'll the irrigation dis
tricts. 1t is a matter affecting also
the great body of people through the
East who are buying irrigation secur-
tiles.
If the owner of irrigated land finds
his water rights insufficient, his
tendency is to blame some one above
him along the ditch, for taking too
much water He starts law suit
Meanwhile the read trouble may be
far up the mountainside, where
some one has cut down or burned
over tracts of trees.
AS high as 1000 to $4,000 an acre is
paid in some irrigated districts fol
oranse orchards. Well located but
unimproved ranches bring $500 &c
$500 per acre. Yet II anything hap
pens to his little stream, his trace
would be dear at SIS per acre for a
sheep pasture.
In the San Bernadino valley OF Cali
fornia, which has been a pioneer IN
preserving water supply, it was foun
that where the land about the stream
sources was we'll forested, 60 per cent
OF the rainfall was saved. Where
land had been stripped, 95 per cent
ran off and was wasted.
Ii some part of the fortunes that
have been spent in attacking and de-
Tending water rights could have been
devoted to cooperative efforts to pro-
tect water supply sources. Western
farming would be ON a more secure
basis today. Fifteen years ago there
were streams that could be had for
the taking, which today are worth
millions. The Westerner governors
have some big problems to talk about
at their coming conference.

CELEBRATION OF The FOURTH

II is doubtless true that the old
fashioned fourth has passed and let
us hope is never to return again.
The noise and bombast of our
earlier history are giving way to a
desire to make the day of our indie
pendence a day in which We not only
comm emorate the past but in whit b
things of real value in connection
with our history national and To- al
shall receive emphasis.
Many cities are taking up the mat
ter OF presenting page3nts repre- elt-
ing the important events in tLe
country's and city S history. The field
is almost unlimited and has not as
yet been worked to any great extent
Events which are Of the greatest inn
portance have been duplicated be
fore the eyes of the child OF today
in such a manner that history has
received a new meaning.
In connection with Grand Rapids
there is much in the past which
could be used for historical present a
ton. The Indians are still with us;
there are men who remember the
early settlement here; the Wisc0n-
sin River was one of the channels
through which the discoveries of this
new west went to the Mississippi;
there are points of interest all along
thse way which could be worked out
so that our history would have new
significance for us all.
We are in territory over which
the adventurer, the trapper, the
priest and the French Ft'yoyageures
travelled back and forth; a teri tory
in which the seed was sown for a
great Indian uprising; not far of
Black Hawk was captured; the woods
and hills sent back the shout of the
river men, picturesque characters
now withdrawn from public life; all
