called for criticism of our school
board"
All board meetings are open to the
public and our school board is very
anxious for all of us to take interest.
1t would clear away a lot of fog to
have published the facts and condi-
tons of our over-crowded school rooms
and condition of the old building.
These reports were made at a public
meeting. (but not all of the taxpayers
were presently
think W. have come to the con-
clusion that we need a high school
building and We need it badly. If
we are to have this building on the
old school grounds, we have an ideal
ground for our new grade school where
the Baptist church" now stands.
There is plenty Of room for a three
story modern school house, without
blocking the street or alley.
Why not have these two school
houses built at the same time. We
will be saving time and expense. The
kickers will all quiet down when
school commences in the fall. What
is a few dollars more or less Of taxes

be glad to help us out with this end
Of the deal if we need their help.

More than one billion dollars net in

the railroads of the country during the
year just closed. The huge total is
the peak of prosperity in railroad oper-
atoms and stands more than one-third
higher than the total of 1913, hitherto
the banner year.
Statistics gathered by the interstate
commerce commission, complete for
nine months and made the basis for
calculation for the entire year, indi-
cate that the total net income from
operations will be approximately ST..

An analysis of the returns for the
first nine months shows a startling in
crease from the January to September,
amounting to more than 81 per cent.
Thus tho net income in January, $64,-

birth, has been adopted by a native

real trees of ponderous weight and

up by the roots and brought across

ton. And people around New York
who go motoring and communing and

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get a better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
it contains bunt or sinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing.
How much Of your seed will grow? 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like a book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the plotting paper, put
a strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in q piece of
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in . glass of
water like q lamp, put the test on top of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open 1t and count 20
many kernels strong, % many weak, 80
