in the middle of the creek, and shrek
ing at the top of her voice, "oh, Lewis
I'm killed. Oh I've broken my ankle,
ugh! what shall do?"
Meanwhile Lewis was doing all in
his power to quiet her, and was try

The school term should be set

realizing that most all children
live On tho farm, has announced
that Granger County schools
will open in July. Of course the
farmer needs his children's help
but he should try to make his
work accommodate the school.
The fact tbs the children are
needed so badly on the farm is
one of the best arguments why
they should be kept in school

truth of this statement and keer
the boys a. home in a perpetua'
Grind Of farm work, giving them
no CHARGE to get an education
that would prepare them for bel

does not give the children q
chance to attend school regular

missing occasional days ruin the
term, and cats eS the boy to srer
three years in doing what he

true that boys and girls who are
compelled to remain at home fol

Many people continue to look
upon the war situation in an I'M
concerned and abstract way, but
should hostilities continue two
or three years, the effects will
be brought to every door in the
country. 1t is time that our peo-
pie wake up. We should econo-

sci others to do likewise. Not
every one can produce but there
is none who cannot conserve.

This time the war is cited for an ex-

battle and times OF war The armed
barons in 1915 A. d. met King John on
the field at Runnymede and wrung

The right of petition for redress Of
wrongs, and the declaration of rights,
were won at the point of the sword.
The Declaration Of Independence.

after war had been commenced and
blood shed on battlefelds, to wrest
from England the right to free gov

his own members in Memphis have
repudiated his position.
Seventeen editors, out of 1870 in the
State, in meeting after an address by
Mr.. Edgerton, passed resolution by
II to 6 giving it as their opinion that
we had best wait a while. What right
have II men to speak for 1870?
A righteous war Is great arouser

Mr.. Scheffer demonstrated sklnning a
mole and preparing the pelt for mar
ket. Good mole pelts are worth 25
cents each and boys can make good
money trapping them. After the lee
ture was over Mr.. Scheffer took the
crowd to vacant lot nearby and dem
onstrated trap setting.
Poison formulas for grey diggers
and gophers were also distributed at
each meeting. 1t is not practical to
poison the mole, as his food habits
are such that he will not take any OF
the ordinary bats. The mole is a
hunter and prefers to catch his game
alive. Special arrangements have been
made with the dealers to get the traps
at minimum cost. Most of the meet
ings were held at school houses and
the teachers were asked to report to
the county agriculturist the number
of mole pelts on hand before the
closing of school, so that they can be
marketed comparatively and the best
price obtained. Fur buyers have prom
ised to come to the county and grade
the pelts and pay the top price for all
the good pelts is sufficiently large
number can be obtained.
$50 people attended the fourteen
meetings, one-third of which were
adults and the remainder high school
and grade school pupils. M. S. Shrock,
county agent, who arranged the meet
ings said at the close of the week s
campaign that he considered it the
most successful campaign, as evidenc-
ed by the interest shown, that he had
staged so far in the county.
