The Suspension Matter.

A report was made to the board
through the superintendent of the
suspension of Harry West, from the
Terrence school. The suspension
was ordered by Mrs. c. P. Sheldon,
principal. The lad was charged with
having used profane language on the
school grounds, and the suspension
was in accordance with board rules.
The lad is the son Of Mr. and Mrs.
George West who were present to
defend him. They stated their side
of the case. Board members very
frankly told them that they consid-
cred Mrs. Sheldon too good and too
experienced a principal to take any
steps not warranted. When the mat
ter was brought up after the parents
had left, the board individually and
together discussed the matter. 1t was
felt that the principal was within
bounds in her action. The board lnen
decided to offer to re-instate the boy
if he would promise to live up to
the rules. and reports will be re-
quired from the boy and his parents
to the board each month. A letter
EN- bodying the recommendations of
the board was sent to the parents
naming the conditions. The lad
is virtually on parole to the board.
The Radcliffe Matter.
Another communication from H. e.
Radcliffe anent the claim he says he
has against the board was received.
In this letter Mr.. Radcliffe offers to
settle his claim for $3.50. The board
took no action on the matter. Mr..
Radcliffe claims the board owes him
for something over $500 for the work
on the new fairfield building. The
board has taken the stand that the
money is not owing him as he was not
here during the bulk Of the work.

Poultry Hints

The person who is dead earnest" in
his poultry work, who never shirks
duty, who never omits the details. who
never becomes discouraged. is the one
who as rule succeeds. That is the
secret of successful poultry women.
When buying any kind of chick feed
always be sure that it is free from
mold or mustiness, for otherwise it
will cause digestive troubles followed
by severe losses in most cases.
If you do not have dry mash before
your hens at all times, try keeping
bran before them. Let them eat all
they want of 1t in connection with
other foods. It is rich in protein of
the vegetable kind and will give good
results.
A kerosene solution put in a con-
tainer where the hens will have to
step in 1t, will prevent scaly leg, or
will help to cure 1t II your chickens
are already afflicted.
Never set eggs laid by specimens
which are not strong and healthy, or
from pens headed by unhealthy males
The profit all comes from the stock
which Is strong and vigorous, and
strong chicks do not come from weak
parents.
Fix nests in out-ot-the-way places
for the turkey hens and they will fire.
quently lay in them, where the eggs
can be taken care of, instead of steal
ing their nests in places difficult to
| find.
Don't allow your, chicks to sleep on
the floor, below the roosts. Teach
them to make use OF the roosts. Crowd
| ing in the corners on the floor may
start colds and other troubles. while
| layers that sleep this way very soor
become anti-layers.
You can't buy 81 cockerels and i'm
prove your stock, as no breeder will
ship you quality at this price; but pay

YOU will be pleased with such pur

German Writers
Of Note Appear
Two at a Time

ut is striking coincidence that the
most significant figures in the history
of German literature have appeared
upon the scene two by two. AS far
back as the ninth century," Dr.. Otto
Heller says in his Studies in Modern
German Literature" I'VE find side by
side as its greatest poetic monuments
two religious epopees of almost equal
Importance, the Heliland and the
'Evangelienbuch'; among the popular
'epics Of the HOhenstaufen times the
German Had, the 'Nibelungenlied,' is
matched off by the Lay of Kundrun' as
by German Odyssey; and among the
chivalric poems Of the same period the
pre-eminent works of Wolfram Won Es-
chenbach and Gottfried Won Strassburg
lend expression to Numerically oppo-
site views of life.
After the literary life had lain in
catalepsy for many generations it was
reawakened in the eighteenth century
through apparently antipodal forces
which may perhaps be most fifty
brought to mind by the mention OF
Klopstock and Leasing. Then the
dazzling flood of light, which, at the
close Of that century, suffused the cul-
ture Of Germany, was shed from the
twin luminaries, Goethe and Schiller
Although in the ensuing century
the catalogue of the poetae Germaniae
grew to an unexampled magnitude, its
bestknown names at successive
periods stood in contrasted couples:
Kleist and Korner, INLAND and Hauff,
Heine and Lenau, Geibel and Freili-
grath, Grillparzer and\ Hebbel, Reuter-
and Scheffel, Freytag and Keller,
Heyse and Spielhagen, Wilbrandt and
Wildenbruch, Marlit. and Werner. and,
II the truth must be confessed, Hack.
lander and Gerstacker.
ITO the great mass of the people
the literature of the t-Bismarckian
era seems epitomized in two Names
Gerhart Hauptmann and Hermann
Sudermann, for undeniably these two
have exercised the greatest formative
influence on contemporaneous German
letters
