intended improvements in the school facilities of Seward.
 First: We have asked for plans and have agreed to pay for same and We are now discarding these plans without a proper test as to cost of the building. Every member of this council will admit that the plans adopted were as near perfect to our wants as we could expect; the only question being the cost of construc- tion, which claim, we have not prop erly carried out.
 Secondly; The cost of construc- tion was increased at least $l,OOO by the suggestion of one member of this board.
 "Thirdly; We are now trying to adopt a scheme that was discarded at our former meetings and which has so many objectionable features that it would be unjust to the taxpayers of this town to squander their money in so useless a manner.
 "The plans about to be adopted by this board are unfit for our purpose in many ways:
 First; The work will cost nearly $5,OOO before it is complete, irrespect- i've of what it's advocates may now claim for it.
 Secondly; It is unsanitary; the lavatories being almost a part of the classrooms. They are located direct ly in front of the man entrance to the building and always in sight of peo- pie entering same; in fact, they are almost a part of the main entrance hall. The noise and air from this position will always be a menace. The arrangement brings the boys and girls together to/t the very same en- trance doors of the lavatories. The ingress and egress to these lavatOries are open to the public view of any person entering the building and they should not be constructed as a menace to decency and health.
 Thirdly; The number of steps from this combination of main en- trance and lavatories, (which is the most abominable thing I have ever seen attempted in a public building), are so many and so steep that it is a hardship on pupils, teachers, and visitors, to get from one floor to the other.
 Fourthly: It is an unsafe construc- tion to build an inch concrete wall to the height intended unless same is properly reinforced and built of the best of material from the bottom up. am told by the builders that the old wall, constructed of slate gravel will not stand any more weight than it is now carrying. When this is gutted and ripped up as indicated by these new plans, the superstructure will be a mark for our high winds and quakes.
 "Fifthly: The heating of this base ment cannot be properly done with the heating plant on the same floor level. Over head radiators will heat the ceilings, while the floor space where heat is needed, will not get

The otter breathed deeply. His whis-
kered muzzle twitched. He was

leaped upon him. Face to face, In
fair fight, the old otter could have
given good account OF himself. But
there was no chance now. The wild
itself had for the first time In his
life become his deadliest enemy. II
was not man now-but O-ee-ki, "the
Spirit" that had laid its hand upon
him. And from the Spirit there was
no escape. Kazan's fangs sank into
his soft jugular Perhaps he died
without knowing what it was that had
leaped upon him. For he died
quickly, and Kazan and Gray Wolf

enemies to slaughter, and not know

the one ally who would have driven
the beavers from their swamp home.
The days that followed grew more
and more hopeless for KaZan and
Gray Wolf. With the otter gone
Broken Tooth and his tribe held the
winning hand. Each day the water
backed a little farther into the de-
preston surrounding the windfall.
BY the middle of July only narrow
strip of land connected the windfall
hummOck with the dry land of the
swamp. In deep water the beavers
now worked unmolested. Inch by
inch the water rose, until there came
the day when it began to overflow the
connecting strip. For the last time
Kazan and Gray Wolf passed from
their windfall home and travelled up
the stream between the two ridges.
The creek held a new meaning for
them now and as they travelled they
shifted it's odors and listened to its
sounds with an interest they had
never known before. 1t was an in

something in the manner in which the

Kazan and Gray Wolf of man. And

BILLS VACATION.

My. Bill, you look tough. / never
heard that you were sick"
Then "Bill" explained for the hun
dredth time that he had not been sick,
but had merely been on his annual
vacation. Since the person who was
talking to "Bill" was a good friend.
Bill" went on to explain what a won
derful time he had on his vacation.
He had had six sessions at a GER
tain great American card game, each
OF which had lasted all night and "he
had come out ahead of the game and
cleaned up enough to almost pay for
his vacation"
Then there had been a little dinner
which lasted all through another wild
night in which many anti-prohibtion
beverages had been consumed.
And there had been a great many
other things that nau combined to
make "Bilrs" vacation a lurid period
to be remembered and talked about all
through the year.
"Bill's" vacation experiences bring
up the question: "Why is a vacation,
anyway
The doctors all recommend vaca-
tions for the wives. And sorry to re-
late, many of these tired and wearied
persons return to their homes in far
worse conditions physically and men
tally than they were when they went
away.
The Saturday. Evening Post about
year ago told of a young man who
used his vacation in studying TO fit
himself for promotion that he knew
he could get if he had some additional |
information about the business he was |
engaged in.
A business man in Northeast Mis- |
souri, spent his three weeks vacation |
in an automobile tour of his trade ter
ritory. He visited every town and
hamlet in his district and added hun
dreds of customers to his store, and
had first-class time too.
The average business or profession
al man who has the right idea about
his business or profession, is more or
less lost when it comes to loafing on
porch at summer resort. This is
fine for the person who has loafing
business or profession
Really, a vacation offers wonderful
possibilities to the person who will
spend it properly. How to spend it
profitably is a question for the indi-
vidual to settle. Certainly "Bill's"
example is one not to be followed.
