Another of our boys, Geo. Volmer,

examination last week: Olive Halves,
| Goldie .Nettleton and Brother, Theo.,
Mary Halgrimson, Clifford Thoen and
John Hebig. Miss Halves passed IN
all studies while the others fell down
on one or two studies. But we think
they have done we'll at that, as they
have all been out of school more or
| less the last two years, since the war
took quite a number of the farm
boys into service and these boys and
girls helped to put in and harvest
the war crops.

According to new law just passed,
it will be unlawful to hunt prairie
chickens with a dog. These birds are
getting pretty scarce and it would
not have done any harm had the Sol
ons decided to place closed season
on chicken hunting for say five years.
There will probably be several thous-
and perfectly good chicken dogs in
the state for sale pretty cheap.

specting policies, and it was later learned that he was justified in this agreement for his advice was followed. There are indications in his estate that he was paid for much of his services in very large blocks of stock. At that time the stocks had little or no recognized value, but with the completion of the railroad properties, with the opening up of the land for settlement and with the growth of transportation these railroad stocks appreciated rapic,y in market value-value thereby furnishing the basis probably of the unusual fortune which this lawyer was able to gain
 But according to Mir. Stillman the day for that sort of accumulation in the United States had passed. Mir Stillman did not see any other great opportunity in the United States for securing large fortunes. Apparently he did not foresee the stupendous growth of the oil indus try or the possibilities which lie in that growth of the rapid accumulation of great fortunes for men who have cour- age. some capital, experience, patience and accurate forecasts, and also some good luck.

 ''The Little Man!'
 Somehow, though Jane could not tell just why, the phrase had sinister, dew ilish ring to it that frightened her. Hes itating an instant in the doorway, she wanted to ask the chauffeur what it meant who it meant and why. The words refused to come. Instinctively she seemed to know that her fortunes and that queer phrase, or rather the owner of that queer title, were destined to be linked very closely together in the days that were to come.
 The chauffeur watched her with raised eyebrows, as though he was waiting for her question, then the girl turned and walked into the bedroom, hesitated again by the dresser but finally crossed the floor and without glancing over her shoulser disappeared.
 Her mind was in a tumult of varied emotions. Who. in all this tumble of affairs, was she to trust. She certainly had no reason to put any faith in what this chauffeur told her. He was the very man who had brought her out in her womans intuition, she was drawn to some quality in his makeup. and with this last thought rushing through hey head, she walked down the stairs and faced the Burns, who were standing in the middle of the hall much as she had left them.
 "The car is all ready, Miss Brown, MT. Burns said as she reached the lower floor. My man will take you to the sta- tion. I am very sorry for what has

 his share in the unfortunate affair. l

 He spoke earnestly. his steady eyes on Jane's face, and the girl realized that no matter what his son might be, here
 was man she could trust to the limit. l bear no grudge for anything" Jane answered, impulsively offering him her hand. "All I want is to get back to
 New York and go" She halted, sud denly realizing that when she reached New York again, she would find herself under the necessity of finding another position-"to go to work" she added, smiling a little as she met his gaze. T understand perfectly" he answered. And I want you to know that you will always be welcome out here" Thank you" Jane murmured, turning a little toward Mrs. Burns. You have been very good"
 Out of the corner of her eye, Jane saw Billy take hesitating step forward. She felt that he was on the point of saying something but when she looked in his direction he had settled back into his pose of an indifferent outsider to the whole affair.
 A moment later she found herself on the outside of the house, where MT. Burns helped her into the tonneau of well-appointed limousine Almost in stantly the car started slowly away and she had just time to wave her hand to the little group standing on the steps when turn of the road hid them from view.
 In the next few instants Jane knew she must come to decision regarding her further movements Every second the car gained headway, and it seemed but breath before they left the shell-cov- cred private drive behind and were skimming over the smooth surface of public road. The chauffeur had told her to get out, send the car home and hide in the bushes that grew close beside the road. On the other hand, was she not already on her way to the station! What could that man do for her that was not being done Her object was to reach New York. and here she was going there as fast as car could take her. "Oh, what shall I dov' Jane gasped aloud, clasping and unclasping her hands in an anxiety of doubt. If l could only-'
 Suddenly her thoughts were interrupt ed for with a thrill of fear she became aware that the car had slowed down and was coming to stop by the road side. Maybe something is the matter with the engine" Jane whispered to herself, hoping against hope that such was the case. "Or with the tires!'
 But the man, instead of raising the hood, as he climbed out of his seat be- hind the wheel and stepped to the ground, swung open the door of the limousine and lifted his cap.
 Excuse me, miss, for stopping" he began. But MT. Billy asked me to give you this letter. Maybe you'll read it?"
 '1Il read it as we go," Jane answered. taking the envelope and making a slight gesture in the direction they had been travelling.
 That wasn't what he wanted, miss, '' the man answered, settling himself to wait until his request was complied with. He said you'd read 1t as soon as l gave it to you. Maybe it won't take you long"
 There was no help for it. The man evidently did not intend to move until

When Andrew came home from tho office he brought bunch of violets and their perfume filled the room. said:' "Oh, aren't they sweet"
 Yes" said Andrew, ympathetically. they smelled so good on the car com ing home l believe I would have eaten them if I had had some pepper and salt with me-"
 Imogene looked hurt. But the odor, isn't it lovely? Andrew, I think the ingenuity of man is something mar vicious. Just think. this perfume has been extracted and can be had in a bottle. Just think or one being able to extract such a delicate thing as the odor of v,olets Jus, think of preserv- ing the subtle orod of the jessamne. Why it fairly brings the woods into ones home!
 Then the accomplishments of man have not ceased there. What he has done to the perfume he has also done to the woods sounds. The phonograph and the violin can reproduce the bird notes perfectly. and am sure that some day we shall so to the theatre and when there is woodland scene on the stage we shall hear the swish of the wind through the trees, smell the violets and wild fivwers and hear the bird notes till the reproduction will be absolute. Isn't II wonderful?'
 Tt sure is, puddn',' agreed Andrew But there is one thing which has always bothered me apout these artist guys. They have the ability all right but they use such poor judgment. Take a painter for an example. He will paint a wreck at sea, a mule in a barnyard or a Greek athlete hurling the discuss, when he might paint a motor-b boat, a racehorse or a baseball player pitching a thru strike!

From now on the farmers will be
very busy with spring work. Some
was done last week, but this week will
see the drive begin on every farm.
The season will be short and hired
help is scarce and high-priced.
For the above reason the farmers
are compelled to keep their older
children from school to assist in farm
work. This is bad for the school and
bad for the scholars who stay out. It
would seem that some satisfactory
solution Of this difficulty ought to be
found.
