INTERSTATE FARES HIGHER

Beginning tomorrow local citizens
will find that in travelling out of
the state, to Chicago OR st. Paul for
an instance, they will be charged a
higher rate of fare than heretofore.
This is due to the decision of the
Interstate commerce commission
made a few weeks ago allowing adj
vances in passenger fares on west
ern railroads from 2 cents to "a
cents per mile This decision, how
ever affects only interstate business.
It has no bearing on intrastate trav-
elers and the two-cent fare still
holds between points within the
boundaries of the state.

gram is promised, to be presented
by some of the graded, high and
rural teachers. Teachers should &C
on morning freight about $50, re
turning at 500 p. m. Each one Is
requested to take small lunch and
we are to picnic together with the
Hot coffee will lie provided. The
complete program will be found at
the end of this department.
Supt l. M. Bergstrom of the coul-
ty farm, has consented to address the
institute Let there be a large at
tendance Of our live, progressive
teachers. Any unable to go, are re-
uuested to send us word to that e.
feet.
A few changes only in teachers
at the holidays. Miss Hattie COL
burn succeeds Miss Gay in No. 3,
Washington Miss Vera Manley has
accepted the school in No. 8, Thorn
apple, fer the rest of the school year.
Mrs. Althea Davis is now in charge
of the school at Maple Centcr, where
she taught with much success a few
years ago
Mr.. Dewey Hendrickson is sulst--
tuting this week for Miss Viva BOIL
man in No. 2, Flambeau. Miss Boil
man is at this writing very SEX
from an attack of grip. Miss Jennie
Johnson of No. 10, Thornapple, is al
SO incapacitated this week with tie
same trouble. A number CT schools
are running with a greatly reduced
attendance, owing to epidemics in
the districts.
All teachers are urged to complete
the cataloging, including the making
out of several cards, of their libra
ries. Most Of the books il large
number of libraries are SO cataloged,
but several teachers have some CT
that work to complete.
Outside stickers on books, may be
had of the Northwestern School Sup
ply House, Minneapolis, at 6 cents
per box. 1t is we'll to order about
three boxes each of Number PIT and
225.
In only one or two districts pupils
are using common drinking cup, in
stead of individual cups. A bubbler
drinking tank can now be had at a
very reasonable cost. The state laws
now forbid the use of a common cup,
and no school board should permit
the further use of such.
By far the most satisfactory and
sanitary device is a bubbler tank
Many dealers quote them at $40
to $22. but arrangements have been
made with an agent here, whereby a
first class one may be had for S13,
delivered at any station in the c0un-
ty. Write us for further informatlon
A considerable number of school of
ficers have placed one of these tanks
in their schools the present year.

The Holly chieftain., 1916-05-26
bay eeIonas to the veterans.

Memorial day. as 1t comes around
in the calendar OF the year, is one Of
essential sadness. It is hard for any
one who really perceives the place Of
the day and the deeds which 1t COM
memorates to regard it as one Of
merrymaking. 1t is our day as a peo-
pie to go into the house of mourning
rather than to the house of feasting.
1t may In time broaden in scope, and,
instead of commemorating the vete-
rams Of single war, usher in our ma
tional tribute to the soldiers of all
wars, If we must assume that the
world will continue to adjust its diff
ferences by these means in the long
future. But for the present. the day
belongs to the veterans Of the Union.
We salute them, as they march by
in depleted lines and with faltering
step. Theirs was great service;
theirs was a mighty sacrifice; theirs
is the day.
The Holly chieftain., 1916-05-26
One day this week felt rather blue

One day this week l felt rather blue
and unhappy. 1t was q dark. gloomy
day, with biting wind coming around
the bleak corners and q heavy rain
that fell drenchingly to the ground
steady downpour of big splashing
drops. Somehow the world inside my
ONCE seemed very lonely and gray. l
had q headache. my work had been
going badly and was rather discour
aged. When the mail came ina big
package of letters to be opened-I was
not much cheered. But my special
guardian angel was on duty that day.
When l cut the first envelope, found
plain little letter. written in pencil
on cheap paper, by an unknown lady,
oid enough to be my grandmother
But the words. lightly written in an
: oid-fashioned hand. fell across my
heart like ray of golden sunshine
through the grayness Of the rain.
Dear Friend" read the letter, Il
have been seeing your pieces in the
christian Herald for some time, and
l made up my mind to write to you
oone people believe In keeping their
kind words and their flowers and their
love until person is dead. But ]
don't. I want you to know, right now
that you've cheered me up lots OF
times. and that like your stories and
that like YOU"
Now. ] don't want you to think that
am disapproving of Decoration day.
The world is stupid enough and mat
ter-of-fact enough to forget easily the
heroes who lie in our cemeteries. But
we should consider the living, too. Let
US place roses over the little green
mounds. but don't let us overlook the
pleading child-hands that are stretched
out for their sweetness. While we
honor the memory of those beautiful
spirits that have passed from US. let
us not forget the living, breathing
souls that need our help.
1t is not necessary to save all the
flowers. the kind words and the kisses
until lips and hearts and minds are
cold and dead.-Margaret e. Sangster
Jr. In the Christian Herald.
