ACRE CORN AND BABY PORK CON.
TESTS FUND HAS RAISED
NEARLY $3.50 TO DATE.

In eight of the fourteen townships
of Wapello county there has been
nearly $3.50 raised for prizes in the
acre corn and baby pork raising con-
tests in which the entire county is in
terested. R. L. Gardner, county SUI
perintendent Of schools, is the county
leader in this movement to encourage
corn and pork propagation by the boys
and girls of the county. The Com.
mercial club is also behind the move
ment and number of Ottumwa firms
have subscribed literally toward the
prizes that are offered. Several banks,
firms and individuals about the county
have also subscribed but in only eight
money offered in this cause. -7.
Owing > the fact that boys and
girls all over the county are asked to
participate, it is hoped by the p.,o-
moters of the contest that every town.
ship will be represented among those
subscribing toward the prizes. Some
possibility of combining the contest to
the townships that show enough inter
est by helping to raise the prize fund
is being discussed but nothing has
been done other than merely to dis.
cuss this.
Six townships are not represented
among the subscribers and persons or
firms in Competine, Green, Highland.

The school filed and quieted. Doors
closed and gong rang. The after
noon work was on.
In the next week, it was wonderful
how head dressings took on waves and
puffs, fiat heels grew inches high and
cheeks bloomed. Smiles were every
where-yet there was certain exclus-
iveness quite apparent among the
teachers, who regarded one another
with suspicious GOODNESS. None of
this, however, reached tho puzzled
principal, who had never experienced
such overwhelming attention as ne

to wariness when Genevieve Travis
asked for private interview, and as
delicately as she could, suggested her
self as a fitting life mate for him, stat

instantly, thinking she had lost her
senses. But in the next fortnight he
had received fourteen perfectly good
proposals of marriage, all of which he
had humbly and gratefully declined.
He would have thought it a joke, but
the attitude of the teaching force to-
ward one another proclaimed that it
was no laughing matter. Things were
serious! ~.

Lambing had not come forth to offer
