CONDITIONS In
RURAL DISTRICTS
ARE NOT IDEAL

9AacA8o, HI, IAN. 31.-Peor rural
school are s%esponsihle for q large
Hsart Ut the huge national drift Of
hNrsns people to the cities and the first
shsp In making effective q "back to
TIN land movement ds to give CONN
try, teachers extra . according to
the inconveniences and h~ardshtps they
Sund srEo in their work. This is the.
gist4 Of 3 Eepprt made to the Ameri-
can Elaboration Of Teachers by Field
SecrA ArY Josephine Colby here today.
sA4.HsQH R OF the main reasons for the
desertk on of farms by young and for
ward kaoling married couples is that
country schools cannot compare, IN
der en' sting conditions, with city
schools l n giving children opportunity
for deveA opment,' h said. "a sur
vey Of tn e situation shows that even
now whe1, unemployment and wage
cuts are nlore prevalent in the cities
there has been no corresponding
slump In the shift of the rural popu-
and-smaM ,town schools continue to
grow worse because their trained
teachers go TO the larger cities where
higher pay prevails and because the
teachers they secure are far more
poorly prepared than ever before.
Since the teacher shortage became
SO acute the large CITIES nave sur
passed the rural districts in raising
salaries with the result that they
haze drawn practically all the COM
petent teachers away from the little
red school house TIL average sal
ary of teachers in oile-room rural
schools is less than 5000 per year.
Tennessee, for instance. has an aver
age Of S258 per teacher yearly and
IS states rank below That. Pennsyl-
vania reports a lack Of IS per cent
IN rural and elementary teachers.
This means thai country children suf-
fer in comparison with city children.
"."Thi wrong will mot be righted
until country districts offer extra
compensation for the Inconvenience
their teachers must undergo. What
teacher will remain in the rural dis
tricts boarding around walking to
school in country mud, enduring rig
orous weather when She can get bet
ter pay, higher cultural environment
and greater comforts in q city,"

months, have marked the year 1920 as n OF greater reimbursement in prcs
levels hal has ever beef witnessed before. The effects have not been df-
ferent ron those in other periods of business decline, such as diminished
buying. decreased production, increased unemployment; and a stronger desire
o economic, ave pay up debts and invest. The prices O. products in the
northwest have declined in harmony with those Of the other producing sec
tons and industries of the world.
The medan quotations for cash sales of all grains at Minneapolis were
lower in December than in November except for re which advanced ne cent
Der bushel All quotations without exception exhibit a row range in
diions prevailing throughout the month and are a mean for smpnfying tn

"rll send her back to the United
States and promise to cable you 10
await her there" Billy continued. "Ot
course. we can't help it If you and the
cablegram miss connections, and once
the young lady is back in the United
States, I dare say she'll have to stay
there couple Of years before she can
save the price Of another sea voyage.
And in the meantime she may
marry"
"Or that haneurism may ave turned
the trick before that" Mother jerks
suggested candidly but joyously. I'm
course she'll be disappointed, but then
disappointment never lays 'eavy on
young cart, Willie; an bein' d1sap-
pointed at not SEEM a person you
amt really acquainted with amt as
bad as some disappointments."
IT guess I know" Billy Geary re-
plied bitterly. IF that cablegram had
only been for me! Mother, if my old
partner could, by some miracle. man.
age to marry this Dolores girl, your
arteries and your aneurisms might
bust and be damned, but the girl
would be SAFE"
"M'ybe," Mother jerks suggested
hopefully, "yer might fix it up for her
wen I'm gone. From all haccounts
'e's no-end a gentleman"
"He's he-man," Mr.. Geary de-
clared with conviction. He sighed.
"John Stuart Webster, wherever you
are, please write or cable" he MUIR
INJURED.

"a cablcgram!" Mother jerks cried.
"Gord's truth! I'll wager the pub it's
for you, Willie. Bob'-turning to the
negro, and addressing him in her own
private brand Of Spanish-"give Don
Juan drink, if e 'asn't helped 'imself
while yer back is turned, an bring the
cablegram 'ere."'
Within the minute Bob returned
with a long yellow envelope, which he
handed Mother jerks. Without so
much as a glance at the superscrip-
ton, she handed it to Billy Geary, who
tore 1t open and read:
'Los. Angeles, CAL, U. S. A., August
16. 1913.
y Henrietta wilkins, Gale de Con.
cordia, No. 10. Buenaventura, So
brantc, c. A.
Leaving today to visit you. Will
cable from New Orleans exact date
arrival. DOLORES"
The shadow Of deep disappointment
settled over Billy's face as he read.
Mother jerks noted it instantly.
"Wot's e got to s'y, Willie?" she de-
manded.
1T isn't he. It's she," Billy re-
piled. Besides. the cablegram isn't
for me at all. It's for one Henrietta
wilkins. Gale de Concordia, No. 10,
and who the devil Henrietta wilkins
may be is n mystery to me. Ever have
any boarder by that name, Mother?"
Mother jerks red face had gone
white. 'Enrietta Wilkins was my
maiden nyme, WILLIE" she confessed
soberly, can there's only one human
rs 'ud cable me or write me by that
nyme. Cord. Willie, wots 'appened?'
"Ill read it to" you, Mother"
Billy read the message aloud, and
when he had finished, to his amaze
ment, Mother jerks laid her head on
the table and began to weep.

CHAPTER v.

Without quite realizing why he did
so, Billy decided that fear. and not
grief was at the bottom of the good
creatures distress, and in his awk-
ward, masculine way he placed his
arm around Mother jerks shoulders,
shook her gently; and babe her remem-
Der that chaos might come and go
again, but he, the said William Geary,
would remain her true and steadfast
friend in any and all emergencies that
might occur.
"Gor' bless yer heart, Willie" Moth
err jerks shifted. II dunno wot in ell
yer ever goin' to think O me wen /
tell wot I've been up to this past fif-
teen year."
"Whatever you've been up to, Moth
er, it was a kind and charitable deed
of that much I am certain" Billy
replied loftily and-to his own sur
prise-sincerely.

started out that wy" moaned Mother
jerks. and she squeezed Billy's hand
as if from that yellow, shaking men,
her she would draw aid and comfort.

Still congratulating herself upon her
good fortune in intercepting Don Juan
Cafetero, Mother jerks proceeded up,
stairs to her chamber, clothed her
self, and adjourned to the Kitchen
After giving orders for an extra spe-
cial breakfast for two, Mother jerks
returned to her cantina, and formally
opened the same for the business of
that day and night.
To her came presently, via the tiled
hallway, the object Of her soicitude,
young man on the sunny side OF
thirty. He was thin for one Of his
height and breadth OF chest; in color
his cOuntenance resembled that Of a
sick Clinaman. His hair was thick
and wavy, but lusterless; his dark
blue eyes carried hint Of jaundice
and generous mouth, beneath an
equally generous upper lip, gave am
pie ground Tor the suspicion that while
Mr.. William Geary's speech denoted
him an American citizen, at least one
Of his maternal ancestors had been
wOoed and won by an 1rishman. An
old Panama hat, sad relic Of a pros
porous past, Il pair of soiled buck skin
pumps, suit of unbleached linen
equally befouled, and last but not
least, the remnants of a smile that
much hard luck could never quite OBJ
literatc, completed his attire-and to
one 4 stranger in the tropics would
appear to constitute complete inven-
tory Of Mr.. Geary'S possessions.
'Dulce corazon MIC, l extend Il
greeting" he caIleI at the entrance.
II trust you rested we'll last night,
Mother jerks, and that no evil dre;hns
were born Of your midnight repast of
friioles refritos, marmalade, and arr
an'-arf!"
"Chop yer spoofn'. Willie" Mother
jerks sfmpered. "My heye! So I'm
