regular session with Medomak Valley
Grange, Burkettville, Saturday. and 1t

patrons assembled and ready for work
al. such an early hour. Covers were
spread for $50, and those who work IN

Patrons Of the entertaining Grange
were all prepared, and none went from
their doors hungry.
During the morning the degree was
conferred upon a class Of ten. and dur
ing the lecturers hour, the Patrons
listened to an excellent program. The
question discussed was: rs the OR
team a profitable farm power?" For
nearly 80 minutes the Patrons listened
to the views from all standpoints, the
disputants being about equally d.
vided.
The Farmers Union was also
threshed over and over, all agreeing
that it was blessing to the heavy
grain buyer. An excellent paper.

roundings." by Walter Aver Of Union.
was much enjoyed by the Patrons.
The address Of welcome by Helen G.
Bowes was so well worded and de-
livered that it would be impossible to
tell those who failed to hear it how
much the Grange enjoyed such a
pleasing speaker. To this excellent
address C. NJ. Lucas responded.
The program also included a recita-
ton by Jesse Lnscott: paper by
Blanche M. Johnston. recitation by
Earle Simmons. and many selections of
music by different members.

AN IDEAL COUNTRY SCHOOL.

High ideas in sanitary requirements for
rural schools are proposed in a bulletin
that is distributed through the United
States Bureau of Education, The bulletin
comes from the Joint Committee on
Health Problems in Education, compos-
ed of members of the National Education
Association and the American Medical
Association.
The general ideal proposed is that "the
country school shoul be as sanitary and
wholesome in essential particulars as the
best home in the community"
The school should be located in a
healthful place" declares the committee.
Noise should be eliminated: children
should not be obliged to walk farther
than two miles or ride more than six;
Fairgrounds should be ample and well
drained and the school ground should
include a real garden or experimental
farm, with trees ana plants grouped ar
tistically."
The schoolhouse, according to the bull
let!n, should be AS nearly fireproef a.
possible, Doors should open outward A
small room for consultations and emcr-
gency purposes, and one FOR workshop.

White Polish.

This is a variety of race Of fowls
which Is more han a hundred years old.
They were first known az the Crested
Dutch. and 1t is probable that they came
from italy to the Netherlands, where
they We're first bred to a measure Of
perfection. They gradually were distrib-
uted over Europe and thence to Amer
lea.
They became known a. Poland fowls
probably from the belief that their source
OF origin was in that country. and this
name was used alternately with Polish,
until, in 1880. they came into general
public favor under the latter name.
These fowls have always had a limited
number of admirers and they attract
much attention from the general public
in the poultry exhibitions because OF
their immense crests. They nave not.
however, attained wide popularity be-
cause OF the lack of certain economic
qualities,
The first of the several varieties OF
polish was the White Crested Black.
From these the clever Dutch breeders
originated all other varieties. including

Lyndonvtlle, March 6-Despondent on
account of poor health. Mrs. Fred A.
Hubbard committed suicide at her home
on a farm three and one-half miles from
here this afternoon. Mrs. Hubbard was
in her room on the second floor and the
only other occupants of the house were
her brother-in-law, Mrs. Charles Hub
bard and an aunt, Mrs. NJ. d.. Park. She
shot herself near the region of the heart
with a 3S-calibrc rifle. The women on
the first floor. hearing the report, We're
alarmed and after finding the woman in
her bedroom they called DIR. A. A. Cheney
of this place. but she died before he
reached her.
Mrs. Hubbard was &c years of age and
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherburne
Lang of this place. She had been mar
ried five years. she had suffered with
stomach trouble for about three years,
and her husband claims that was her
only excuse for committing the rash act.
Besides her husband and parents. she
leaves three sisters and five brothers.
The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon and she will be buried at Lyndon

In the matter of ventilation and heating
the bulletin gives specific suggestions.
Fresh air should he provided through

which case adequate inlets and outlets
should be provided. Every school should

Light should be abundant. The best

have the light come only from the left
side Of the pupil AMI from the long wal
Of the classroom. The Schoolroom should
receive direct sunlight sometime during
the day, but the main windows should not
face directly south. East or west facing
is desirable, In providing shades for win
dows. dark one should be used at the
top of windows to control light on bright
eyes.
There should he no dry sweeping or
busting" SAYS the committee. Floors
and furniture should he cleaned with
damp sweepers and oily cloths, Scrub

any form of fumigation,'
The common drinking cup should not
be tolerated. Care should be taken that
drinking water always comes from a safe
source; drinking fountains, located just
inside or outside the schoolhouse, with
sufficient pressure for running water,
should DO provided. That water fer
washing should be easily accessible and
should be utilized always after using the
toilet and before eating seems little

disastrous failures result from a disease

well known that soil becomes infested

The best time to make the hang. to

of the Year, but those who have not
started the work will still nave time to
