The local reporter finds beauty IN
the street at the corner of the post
office building much added to by the
neat fence the Methodists have had
erected around the garden OF DR..
Daniel, but he fails to see or to ex-
press the beauty he sees in the tlne
hole in the street just in front Of the
handsome postoffice building which
stands there from one rain to anoth-
er, sometimes with water sparkling
in it, and sometimes with mud, and
then sometimes dry as good prohl-
bition state, but the beautiful hole
remains in the ground, if not a Joy
forever certainly-well, may be the
town authorities will see it, or when
the Enlarged and Expanded Cham
Der of Commerce gets we'll organized
Just across the street diagonally, the
new secretary may be able to point
out this beautiful hole in the ground,
as an ornament to the handsome post
office building, and so on and so
forth.

The basis of wealth is food an

The basis of wealth is food and
clothes. There is no. doubt about
that. These are produced mainly by
the farmer. Manipulation that sue
cessfully takes away the farmers
product at less than value gives the
value to the manipulators. So long
as the farmer puts himself in a posi-
ton to be manipulated, he will be
manipulated; but if the farmer Woul7
protect himself from manipulation
he must keep himself out of debt
Yorkville Enquirer.
Correct you are. And the only
plan for the farmer of this neck OF
the woods to keep himself out of the
hands of the manipulation is to grow
on the farm what he needs for the
support of the farm, and until ne
does he will never prosper, it makes
little difference what the price OF
Gotten may be. We have preached
that doctrine for many years ane
now every one is preaching it, but
the trouble is the man who would be
the beneficiary of such a doctrine did
not start in time, but even now 1t IS
not too late.

and l was very much gratified to find

ton. | want to say also that l was

operation which | found among the
teachers at all these schools. l eX-

l was also very much pleased to find
that the average attendance at all
these schools was so good and that
they would be in position to qualify
under the law in all respects, and that
the teachers accepted the situation
in such good mood and will run the
schools the full seven months, even
though there may be possibility of
scaling the salaries just little, in
view of the failure of the legislature
to provide sufficient funds to operate
the schools and pay the salaries IN
full under the guarantee in the act
of the legislature. And the children
are making fine progress in all the
schools. And it was a real pleasure
to see them so happy and smiling and
clad to see me. If the members OF
the legislature could just visit some
of these rural schools and look into
the faces of these bright boys and
girls whose education must depend
almost entirely upon what they get
in these schools, l am persuaded that
thew would cut down the approprla-
ton at some other place rather than
fail to carry out the guarantee made
by themselves to provide the money
TO run these schools full seven
months. Certainly that is entirely
too short term. But then it is bet
ter than six months. never could
understand how the legislature could
give the state colleges all they ask
and pile up on them from year to
year, and if there was to be cutting
would take away from the great mass
of the children.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

State Aid
After a conference with the state
superintendent of education which
he called last week to talk over the
state aid with the county superln-
tendents, 1 decided the proper plan
was for me to have conference WITH
the trustees and teachers of the varl-
Gus schools that were depending
largely upon state aid to run the
seven months guaranteed by the
state. So l made appointments with
these schools to meet the trustees at

All the schools here mentioned
have a large number of children and
good school spirit but there is no
corporation property and the total
taxable property is small and there
fore the income even with a large
lew is necessarily small. But we
will run all of them the full seven
months so as to comply with the law.
