THE SUNSHINE FAIRY.

Helen was cross when she got out Of
bed, she scowled when her aunt wanted
to comb her hair. she cried when her
dress was buttoned, because 1t was not
the dress she wanted to wear that morn
ing and her breakfast did not suit her,
So she sulked all breakfast time.
When Aunt Amy kissed her before she
went to school she said, Il hope my little
girl finds the Fairy Sunshine before she
returns
Helen did not reply, but she looked at
her aunt to see II she really meant what
she said, and her aunt snlilingly said,
Eyes. dear, there is one; see II you cannot
find her.

If the city officials desire to frame
the best possible ordinance to cope
with the alleged drug dope evil in the
city. they should pattern it after the
Harrison anti-narcotic bill which was
passed by congress during the early
days of the present session. And, by
the way. the enforcement of this meri-
torious measure will have to depend
largely upon the extent to which
the several states and municipalities
are willing to apply it.

Helen looked all the way to school, for

the dinner table Aunt Amy smiled, and
did not ask II she had found the fairy.
Helen decided that there was no such

THE RURAL SCHOOLS FIELD.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS FIELD.
Country children should be taught
in terms of country life," declares w.
T. Hodges in a bulletin just issued by
tho United States bureau Of education.
In order to discover some OF the
definite things that have been done In
rural public schools toward infusing
into both parents and pupils the stay
on-the-farm'' spirit, Mr.. Hodges sent
$500 letters to superintendents
throughout the country who have
rural schools under their supervision.
From the replies many suggestions OF
special value have been received.
Farm arithmetic, farm geography
and textbooks in agriculture" have
been secured by Berks county, Pa
Newton county. Mo-, has succeeded In
making the school q community CEN
ter by having work done to supple
ment that done at home and by induce
ing patrons to visit the schools. The
latter is accomplished by the "oid
farm wagon and big dinner" plan.
whereby as many as 1000 persons In
the community have visited one school
on a certain day in the year.
teacher of Warren county. Ind.
who gave her pupils the "option OF
work in agriculture or Virgil" was as
tonished to find that in practically ev-
cry instance the students took both
subjects, and the grades rose beyond
anything before experienced.
I'VE have improvised domestic
science teaching by means of coal oil
stoves and kitchen utensils which the
patrons of the school gave through a
kitchen shower" says an enthusiastic
teacher from Chester township, Ohio.
A teacher who was not a graduate in
domestic science but who had grit
and determination" put the girls OF
this school to work in preparing hot
lunches which were sold at few
cents A varied menu was provided.
Plainville township, Conn.,, selects
one school in each village and makes
of it "a model school," to demonstrate
what a rural school under ordinary
conditions may become. The result
has been that the standard in all the
schools in the country has been ele-
waited.
In Caroline county, Md. lantern
slide views contrasting the best and
poorest agricultural and domestic con-
ditions are used to good effect.
Summing up the results of his in
vestigation. Mr.. Hodges declares:
THE letters received reveal improve
ment everywhere in the schools for
country children. There is a feeling
that the country child will be best
educated for whatever life he may
lead, whether in the city or in the
country, if taught in terms Of country
life. The movement toward this Is
nation wide. Country schOolhouses
are used to come extent as civic CEN
tiers in all states of the union. No
special feature of rural school work IL
confined to any one state or section.
The home project method of teaching
agriculture, used in Massachusetts,. Is
also used in Louisiana, Wisconsin, and
other states. Boys and girls agricul-
tural clubs are found in almost every
state in the union

WAR BAD FOR ALL FARMERS.

WAR BAD FOR ALL FARMERS.
In the current issues of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield. Ohio, DR.. David
Starr Jordan, president Of Leland Stan
ford University, writes an Interesting
article entitled 1.-THE Farmer and War"
in which he shows how farmers every
where, including farmers of America,
lose as a result of this war. He says
that we are all in the same boat and
that whatever harms prosperity in one
part of the world Injuries us all. For
some of his products the American
farmer may get q little more. For
other articles he may have no market
at all. Whoever buys of him must
have money to buy with. Food is cheap
in England today because so many go
without their usual food, buying only
the cheapest articles. In London a
month ago the finest fruit was sold
for next to nothing. In war there Is no
demand for luxuries, no care for conn
fort, no continuity of industry. no de-
mand to buy, and among millions Of
people nothing to buy with. The inter-
est Of one nation is the interest of all
so far as farmers and workmen are
concerned. He goes on in part as fol-
lows:
1.-The farmer has no greater enemy
than war. The war of today has its
primal motive to keep the farmer down.
1t is, at bottom, the fight of pride and
privilege against the common man. 1t
is the last stand of Imperialism against
democracy. 1t Is the last supreme eff
fort of these who believe that some
men and some nations are good enough
to rule other men and nations against
their will. This is not the whole story
of the war. but 1t is what the war has
come to mean. No nation can make
money out of any war. and no nation
that begins a war can tell how 1t will
end. But in every war there are some
few men, contractors. gunmakers, IRON
plate makers. who make good deal Of
money. And 80 long as the Krupps, the
Vickers, and the Schneiders of Europe
the 'armor-plate patriots Of Germany,
England. and France. have their way
there will always be war. and the farm
ers of the world will pay for it,

An Armful Of Wood.
After she had lived with him four
years, she asked her husband one
morning to bring in an armful Of oven
wood, az her bread was ready to bake.
He was busy about something and for
got the request. This hurt her feel
ings, and she let the bread rise too
high. and then so down again. When
the husband came in to dinner no
dinner was ready ana his wife waa
sulking.
When he saw the ruined baking he
understood the cause: but he had q
temper. too. 30 he walked out Of the
house without his dinner, and did not
come back.
The wife lived alone for Is years.
One cool evening in the fall she was
sitting by the kitchen stove when
the door opened and her husband
walked In. carrying an armful Of oven
wood. He had greatly changed but
she knew him. and was pleased that
he had come back. She had long
wanted to make up, but had no op-
portunity, as her husband never wrote
and she didn't know where he was.
She thought 1t her duty as a wife,
however. to reprimand him a little
for his fault; not too much, but Just
enough to keep him submissive after
the reconciliation. So she said to
him:
