 Now that the hog buyers and cat tie buyers have bought most of the surplus stock, our farmers have a chance to buy new and better and quite few are taking advantage nf the idea. It's a good stroke of business, too.

Tell Others

Tell others that Hatfield will have . nine months school next term in stead of eight. The district got a little behind thru the cost of inn provernents, law suits, etc, and has been behind financially the last three years. But now, as the State is helping special districts some and as some Of our enterprising citizens are digging down in their pockets. everything is bound to run full speed from now on. Hatfield has fine school building and with so many hustling teachers and citi- zens there is nothing to prevent it from having one of the best schools in the state. especially if the Agri- cultural and Home Economies club work continues to be so thought fully looked after.

HER SIDE---AND HIS
FROM BRIDE TO WIFE
By ZOE BECKLEY

Janet had often wondered just when bride stopped being a bride and became wife-just plain, everyday wife. She felt she knew now. It was when the first cold" words passed between herself and her new husband, It was when they could look at each other with hostile eyes over some trifle It was when each could be interested in outside things things that seemed more important than each other or their home.
 T hate it! I hate itr' cried Janet's spirit within her as she and Walter sat on either side of the living room table on certain evening Walter was really readingI, Janet only pretending to. Must it come to all of us, this detestable change from the honeymoon to married life?S

What say, girl2' And he gave her big, boyish hug, hold ing her off afterward at arms length and looking good naturedly into her eyes.
 Janet's heart instantly warmed to him. Her mind reacted pleasantly to his sug- gestion. It would be nice to have little spell of solitude and-and space! A chance to do exactly as she pleased with out deferring to some one else. holiday to use as she elected 1t would not have seemed tempting perhaps to the average young woman just married But to in dependent Janet Stedman, accustomed to living alone and consulting only herself in everything, it "listened good"

Edison promptly invented contrivance which clicked off the requised signal every hour so that he could enjoy snoozes in somfort! One night a train was allowed to pass and as another train was coming from the opposite direction on the same track, Edison, having frantcally but vainly tried to send the. engine driver a warning
 promptly bolted for the border. For the following five years he was roam ing telegraph operator. Drifting to Boston he invented a stock ticker and established small stock quotation bus mess and also introduced @ method of telegraphing between business concerns, a method so simple that anyone could understand and work it. But business became bad and. deciding to leave Bos- ton for New York, he had to let his books. instruments, etc, remain as se- curity for debts. Arriving in New York he had not a cent with which to buy food. Seeing a teAtaster at work he begged him for some tea, and this formed his first breakfast in New York.
 Three days later Edison was sitting in the office of the Gold & Stock Tsle- graph company watching the gold ticker at work-speculation in gold was then at fever pitch. Suddenly scores of boys rushed into the place excitedly explaining that the ticker in. their em- ployers offices had stopped working. Dr. Laws, head of the company, also arrived breathless The apparatus had broken down. Edison calmly told Laws that he thought he could fix it and pro
