They lay in the shade and talked

OLD RED SCHOOLHOUSE
CONTINUED from page ID
History OF the School House

This attractive, useful building is
the outgroWth of the reunions which
have been held for the last five sum-
mers at the old Red School House
and have brought together from $50
to IT'S former pupils, teachers and
friends of the school. At the first
reunion it was decided to unite with
three nearby district schools, the
Magoon or Mountain district, the
Chandler school and the French or
Peake district. These reunions
proved such delightful affairs for old
and young that the officers elected
at the 1914 reunion conceived the
idea of repairing the old school
building which had not been used
for many years and was supposed to
be worth about $25. These officers
were G. H. Goss of st. Johnsbury,
president; Martin E. Daniels of Lyn-
donville, president; Mrs. Emma
Gibson Hutchinson of Lyndon, secre-
tary and treasurer; Mrs. Ethel Rock,
Mrs. Lucy Weed, Timothy Buckley
and Richard Hovey, executive COM
mittee; William Mooney and Will
lam Thrasher, committee on repairs
Prof. o. D. Mathewson of Lyndon
Center, Martin E. Daniels and Mrs
Clara Elliott of St. Johnsbury, lite
rary committee.
The crying need of the part of
Wheelock in which the Old Red
School House stands is a gathering
place of some sort and the associa-
ton decided to so remodel the school
house that it would make a social
center for the people for miles
around. The old wainscoting and
windows of the building which was

and his son Curtis to replace the
first old red school house we're used
but the school room was enlarged by
the addition of the former entry
A fine large piazza at the front adds
to the appearance of the building
while an addition at the back con-
tains a modern kitchen, coat room
and toilet rooms. The feature of
the building, however, is a memorial |
fireplace built of stones from every
farm in the town. Each stone is in
scribed as the donor wished with his
name or that of the original owner
of the farm.
To make possible the raising of |
funds for remodeling the building a /
was formed early this |
spring with the following directors:
Charles H. Goss, chairman; Charles |
M. Darling of LyndonVille, Rev. ]. A. |
Lynch of Pittsford, DR.. Edward
Lynch of Brattleboro, John Buckley. !
The building which preceded the one |
which has been repaired, stood on
land near by and was so slanting
that a pencil dropped on it at one
end would roll the entire length of
it. The first settlers built their
homes and school house on land for
which they paid rent to Dartmouth
College, six cents an acre, or by the
payment of crown ($1.12) they
could own the land. Some of the
land here is still rent land. The
old inhabitant coming back after
many years of absence would wonder
where the Old Red School House
which he remembers so we'll has gone

succeeds it is to be, as it was, a So

The operetta has scored the biggest
hit since Mr.. Savage produced "The

new opera an even more sumptuOus
setting. The music, by Emmerich Kal-

like melodies that have won for Hun
garian composers their present posi-

THE ACREAGE QUESTION.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston promptly disclaimed that he had said there would be no decrease in cotton 3ereage this year, as was reported on the cotton exchanges on Friday.
 'I did not say that there would ba no decrease in cotton acreage, or that there would be very little decrease, CT that there were no signs of cur tailed acreage" Secretarys Houston telegraphed to secretaries of the cot ton exchanges. "Have no official cotton figures" he continued. Of fioial grain figures show increase in acreage in South sown to grain. De- partment is urging diversification in South as wise permanent agricul- tural economy, and especially for home supply"
 It is gratifying to learn that of ficial figures indicate an increase in the acreage sown to grain in the South. but the point to this incident for the farmer to keep in mind is:
 THE MERE REPORT THAT THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE HAD STATED THERE WAS NC SIGNS OF CURTAILl1D ACREAGE WAS SUFFICIENT TO SEND THE PRICE OF COTTON TUMBLlNG.
 All information that can bi gathered shows that the wise course for the farmer is to diversity "cspeciallv for home supply as th' secretary of agriculture urges.

\ RADICAL LAND LAW.

It is said that an aggravated con dition requires radical steps, ihe abjoct estate of hordes of tenant farmers in Texas, the eXactions oi tteir landlords and the cancer ot un- bridled speculation resulted in the most advanced land law in the union being enacted by the recent leslsla- ture of that state.
 Hearkening to the cries of woe from the tenant farmers, their pilGh' was investigated, as usual, and sHrt- ling steps taken to better lhelr ilVcs
 Ii seems that the tenant taTners were in perpetual poverty through ne fault of their own, and in spite ol 'h' immense agricultural resources el the state. Their condition preventeS them from accommodating enoas' money to buy or finance farms o their own. in the first place, "ac camulating money for them seemse cut of the question, and in the sec ond place, what they did aecu'nni&" could not pay for the land held fo1 exhorbitant figures by spectators.

 says there is no mutuality of con
 tract at all, as he has to accept what
 tie landlord offers because he can no, help himself. It was for this
 reason, he says, that the aid of the legislature had to be invoked
 The law probably will be tested in the courts, ard it is probable that it will go against the landlords. Public orinion as well as the interpretation c. laws, has undergone change in the last decade or two. It began with the creation of usury laws, which exist in a majority of the states. On the face of it, a man needing money has a right to con- tract for the use of it at any price tie money-lendcr or bank might eX- cept. But the law decreCd that a person in distress, forced to borrow money, was at dlSauVanidSc III for it and that no mutual fly of agre ement could exist under such circumstances. Thus we hava legal rates of interest and usury laws.
 Circumstances surrounding 1and tenure are not much different. Land is as necessary to a farmer as money
 l., to business man. There should b. no eyorbitant rates for it's use From this standpoint the action of he Texas legislature undoubtedly W as right. And it's action isn't any more "socialistic." as enemies of the law claim than are usury laws.
