ROADS AND RURAL SCHOOL

The rural population is more will
ing to support better schools today
than at any previous time. 1t is
being realized that all educational
activities or agencies must be more
or less correlated, and, more than
all else, that they must be accessible
to the children. In many counties
where bad roads prevail, most of the
schools are of the antiquated one
room variety. They are usually
located along bad roads, which, dur
ing the winter, when the schools are
usually in session, become so nearly
impossible as to make it difficult for
the children to reach them. This
condition causes irregular attendance
and restricts the educational Oppor-
tunities of the child. Not only this,
but it often impedes the economic
consolidation Of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, directed
by Il competent principal and corps
of teachers. according To the Office
of Public Roads.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads
the schools are easily reached, the
average attendance greater, the
efficiency largely increased, and
economic consolidation made posi-
BILE. Regular attendance at school
means cons;stentaud regular growth,
of both school and pupil, and con-
solidatiOn of schools means maxi
mum of efficiency at a minimum of
cost 1t is also noteworthy that
there is marked tendency for the
consolidated school to become the
social and intellectual center of the
community. Most modern rural
schOoIhouses are 80 constructed as
to serve the community as gathering
places for various kinds of public
meetings, and where vans are used
to convey the children to school dur.
ing the day they are frequently
pressed into service to haul the
farmers and their wives to institute
work, lectures, or entertainments at
the schoolhouse. The consolidated
school becomes a sort of community
center to which all educational and
social activities converge, and in
order that it may properly perform
that function all of the highways
leading to it should be so improved
as to render 1t readily accessible
throughout the year.

THE VALUE OF A COW

There were two cows grazing side
by side in the pasture of large
Illinois dairyman, The State UEi
versity bought them and placed them
in the college herd. gave them the
same care and the same feed SO far
as they could consume equal amounts,
and after three years of accurate
records of production. as well rs of
consumption of feed, these two cows
revealed vast differences In value.
Cow A produced 297 times as
much milk as COW B, and 2.93 times
as much butterfat. TO be more
specific, cow A produced on an aver
age of three years IL 800 pounds of
milk and 404 pounds of butterfat
a year, while COW b produced $3.50
pounds of milk ard l3S pounds of
butterfat.
The better COW made a net profit
of S69.S7 and the poorer COW cost
1894 more than she paid for. Cow
A Is earning S per cent On capt. al.
ization of S1.367, or 6 per cent on
$l,l64. Cow u is "A loss s-not onl.|
is she of no income value, but she is
costing more than the 1894 loss
shown by her record. Any dairy
man who unknowingly kept her
calves to add to the herd would in.
crease his loss 10 years to come by
such poor stock.
A COW has worth only on the basis
of net returns in milk or calves. The
farmer cannot sell COW A, for in.
stance, at her capitalized value of
81, ,397 because cows have never been
sold on such a basis. The market
value has been set arbitrarily by the
owner, or by bids at an auction, and
generally in both cases it is mere
guess valuation, But IL you are to
borrow money to buy cows. you
want to know that they will have a
capitalizing value to you.
1t will increase your interest in
the cows II you capitalize their values
as suggested. That's the way busi.
ness corporations capitalize their
stock--only they are not always sat.
isfied with actual value capitaliza.
ton. They guess at the future
values and capitalize that also. II
farmers could fix the price of milk
fand butter on capitalized values it
would make consumers whistle at
the price!

fire her at once, just as you would

COLORADO SLAUGHTER

tween strikers and militiamen and

camp, where strikers lived with
their families, attacks on mines ana
a twelve.mile.long line held for days
by hundreds of miners against fewer
but better armed militiamen. This
meant about two score dead, for the
most part women and children,
many of them burned and sufficated
in the pits of refuge beneath their

others wounded or missing. The

Pernicio,,s Activity

There is every reason to believe
that Democratic federal Office hold.
ers we're perniciously active in poll
tics the other day in Parkersburg
during the Democratic state conven-
ton, which nominated Thomas e.
Hodges for congressman-at-large.
Convention reports contained that In
formation and many who were there
say 1t was so.
That feature OF the convention
should result in immediate action on
the part OF the national administra-
ton and it should receive denuncia-
ton by the Democratic press, If con-
slstency is to be observed.
The~shame of it, however, is that
neither the. national administration
nor the Democratic press Of the
state will take the slightest notice of
the incident for the reason that those
federal oftlceholders are Democrats.
Nevertheless the rank and file OF
Democracy have ample opportunity Ia
resent what those officehoIders did.
The way is open.
