The story of the rival boot makers, which appeared recently, is matched by a correspondent of an English paper with another story, equally old but equally worth repeating. It con- cerns two rival sausage makers. Again, they lived on opposite sides of certain street, and, one day, one of them placed over his shop the legend:
 We sell sausages to the gentry and nobility of the country
 The next day, over the way, ap- peared the sign:
 We sell sausages to the gentry and nobility of the whole country"
 Not to be outdone, the rival put up what he evidently regarded as final statement, namely:
 We sell sausages to the king"
 Next day there appeared over the door of the first sausage maker the simple expression of loyalty:
 God save the king Christian Science Monitor.

SCHOOL NOTES

The last four weeks have been very busy ones and time has been lacking to write school notes. Things are getting in good shape now and more time is at our dis posal to keep you in touch with school matters To date about $50 students have been enrolled, of which about 47 are in the high school. We are glad to say that improvement along all lines is apparent. Pupils seem to be falling in line with what we are attempting to do, and seem to like to come. This is encouraging. We also appreciate the interest which is being taken in the school by the citizens of the town. These men are coming to our assistance in way that will tell in the future condition of the school. We appre- ciate the interest taken by the clergy of the city. They have set next Sun day morning as a time when they will preach on some phase of pub- lie school work, and the patrons are urged to be in attendance at the various churches and hear what will be said This is a big proposition dUu II We dT6 lO meet IL dH iHuoL practice the "get together" spirit. Many contributions have been made to the, library, which are appreciated. If you have books that you will donate telephone us and we will send for them.
 There are some things in which we need cooperation. There have been so many cases of tardiness during this month that l am ashamed to publish the number. Cannot you see that your children get here on time We find that very little time is given to home preparation. Cannot you see that your child stays at home on school nights and puts in reason able time on preparation for next days work?
 Cooperation is a big item. It means to study school plans, to talk school matters, to keep constantly behind your children and see that they do what the teacher requires of them. Are you in touch with the

classer furnished by the government to work in conjunction with the State Department of Agriculture, under the provisions of the Warehouse law, passed by the 1917 legislature. through the efforts of the Farmers Union Commissioner John H. Page urged cotton growers to take advan- tage of the opportunity and says that it will enable the producer to get better prices for cotton. He will be glad to furnish information.

school? Do you know what is re- quired of your child? If you do not inform yourself along these lines do not blame the school for your child's failure. Blame yourself.
 Teachers have to demand respect and obedience from the pupils. Do you ever talk to your children about these things? Do you ever say to them something like this: One is not fit to lead unless he has learned to obey.' We never have trouble with pupils at school who are taught to be respectful and obedient at home.
 This school proposition affects all of us. Give us some real co-opera- tion by taking up these things at home.
 Very respectfully,

Hoover Potato Digger

Potato digging season is almost
upon us and contrary to most pre-
dictions the crop in this~territory is
going to be good deal bigger than
we looked for a month ago. There
is plenty of growing time yet and
together with the nice rain we got
the other morning it will indeed
make an added increase to our crop.
What are you going to do with your
potatoes when it comes to digging
time? Are you going to dig by hand
and run chances on the frost beating
you to it, or are you going to get
a HOOVER DIGGER, the machine
that gets all the potatoes In the
easiest possible way?
At present we have four machines
on hand which we will be able to
make prices on that will surprise
even the most skeptical of buyers.

woman Suffrage Very Largely
a War Question:"

"Women Of the United States want
to be enfranchised NOW" says the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage asso-
citation. "Other countries at war are
giving women the ballot as a meas
ure Of justice in wartime. If mon
arches can give women the ballot the
greatest democracy in the world can
not afford not to do So"
Five Canadian provinces and Great
Britain and Russia went into the
war opposing votes for women. Their
statesmen now acknowledge that war
itself demands the Acknowledgement of
women. "Having taken our women
into partnership with US in our tre-
mendous task" said Premier Hearst
Of Ontario, Canada, II feel that we
should give them greater part in:pub-
lie affairs and the greater service that
ballots afford"
The premier Of Great Britain, Lloyd
George, has frankly stated that the
woman question has become very large

Der of deputies, "have been the back

The Lion and the Lamb,

One of the most familiar quotations
from the Bible which are not to be
found there upon research is "the lion
lying down with the lamb" The spir-
It of the reference is correct enough,
but turn up the passage in Isaiah and
you will find, 1.-The wolf also shall
dwell with the lamb, and the leopard
shall lie down with the kid. and the
calf and the young lion and the failing
together" The popular mind has con
densed the geological miscellany, and
to the incorrect version ALTERATION has
no doubt contributed.-Exchan

OUR SERVICE AND WHAT
IT MEANS TO YOU

We show you the real implements
not simply pictures of them.
A picture often hides a multitude
of flaws which would be quickly de-
tected by inspection of the pictured
object itself. \
Suppose you want to buy horse.
One man bring to you picture Of
horse; another man brings a real
horse. Which interests you the most
the picture or the real horse?
The picture tells you nothing ex-
cent in general way. What you
want to know, as prospective pur-
chaser, is in particular way. You
want to know whether the horse is
sound of limb and body; how old,
sturdy and active it is, and some
thing definite as it it's spirit. The
picture tells you none of these things.
You can learn them only by inspect
ing the horse closely and seeing it
in action.
= It's just as unsatisfactory to buy
a farm implement from a picture as
it is to buy horse from a picture
You can't tell from an illustration
whether or not the implement shown
has material of inferior quality in
the construction of some of its parts.
You can't tell whether or not it has
Operating faults. You CAN tell II
you closely inspect the implement
itself and watch the operation Of
its parts.
We have a high-class line Of i'm
plements for your inspection. Call
and see them and satisfy yourself as
to their quality and operating capa-
bilities. That's the safe preparation
for buying. Well be mighty glad to
see you.
