The appe11ation of Drag was won because of the hero's peculiar trick of allowing his hand to hover over his pistol butt before drawing which gave the appearance of dragging his gun out of the holster.

The schoolhouse is the one true an
swer to the demand for meeting
place where by association on COM
mon level the sense of equality may
be realized and where in the power
and happiness of touching elbows
Americans may Danish the thousand
and one divisive lines of danger.
The schoolhouse is a community
building because of the community OF
it's ownership. Every resident of the
community, either directly or indi-
rectly, pays taxes for its erection
and its maintenance. Such common
ownership is essential for any real
community purpose. Many cities and
towns have recently erected separate
community buildings through private
contributions or have inaugurated
drives to secure funds for such build
ings. These are not community build
ings they are simply clubhouses Tor
groups of the people. They are neces-
sarily governed under rules laid down
by groups, where generally the largest
contributors have the greatest infiu-
ence, while those who gave nothing
have nothing to say.
Under the community organization
any groups or clans may use the
building by community permission. but
no partisan or private group of any
kind ought to be allowed to use the
public school building except by invi-
tation of the neighbors whose COM
munity home it is. That is the home
development so needed in America;
the group control is the method, in
Rooseveltian phrase, Of the "polyglot
boarding house"
The public school plant represents
the largest single investment of the
American peoples money. America
has invested in school buildings and
grounds the immense sum of 81, $685.
5OS,S1S, and expends every year for
school purposes $736, ,0S9. That
great plant is today being operated
an average of but seven hours day
for 181 days year. Is that not ex-
travagance and waste and is it not
economy to promote the wider use of
the schoolhouse for every proper pur-
pose?
The $4,000 communities of America,
organized and efficient, spell democ-
racy 1t means taking the points OF
separation out and making U. S. spell
"us." 1t was vision of such possible
tiles which caused Charles e. Hughes
when governor of New York to say
at community center meeting in
Rochester: Il am more interested in
what you are doing and what it stands
for than anything else in the world.
You are buttressing the foundations

the Boardman community school.
This Boardman community school is
but one of thousands of public schools
all over the United States. Why then
pick it out among so many? Because
it is an object lessons of what the
American public school should be, can
be--and will be before many years.
The 1920 census shows that the ur-

or people living in places Of $500 or
more is 54,31S,O32, or 51.4 per cent
of the country's total population, and
the number of people living in rural
territory is 81. $780, 39. In 1910. urban
population represented 45.S per cent.
Thus, for the first time In our his
tory, the urban population outnum-
bers the rural population. 1t is a
bad sign Of the times. We have been
brought up to believe that the farm
and the farm home and the farmer
are the foundations Of our democracy.
Are the foundations beginning to
crumble? Apparently the country
boys and girls are migrating to the
city as soon as they can get away
from the farm.
Why do they go to the cities? Be-
cause, as things now are, city condi-
| tons best satisfy one Of the deepest
of human instincts-the desire for
happiness. A man or woman in the
city can earn more money, work short

Of the cup of happiness.
| The country is off balance, with

country. The balance must be re-
stored. How is it to be done? One
thing that will help is to make the
country more attractive. In this there
are many factors. And not the least
is the community center. And happy
is the community where the commu-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Information secured by the bureau
OF markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, indicates that southern
hogs will command prices as high as
those paid for hogs from the corn
belt if they are properly fed and
handled. Nearly 5000 hogs from a
single owner in Mississippi have been
received at the National stock yards,
Illinois, within the past few months
and all were firm, finished porkers,
which sold we'll in line with the best
that came from other sections of the
country. A representative of the bu-
reau of markets made some inquiries
into the manner in which these hogs
were fed He discovered that the
same owner has feeding pens in Iowa
as well as in mississippi, and that
he bought his young pigs and fed
them q mixed grain ration in connec-
ton with corn and tankage. All the
animals showed intensive feeding and
weighed $50 pounds or over when they
arrived at the market.
1t would be especially advantage
Gus to the southern farmer to study
the use of the well-balanced grain ra-
tions and the Complementary adapta-
ton Of peanuts and velvet beans,
which can be grown so abundantly in
that section.
Twelve carloads of hogs were re-
ceived from single Tennessee, owner
at the same stockyards. These ami
mails were of distinctly southern type,

rooms, office, and library of 5000 vol

trail portion on the second story. The
basement is divided into two distinct
departments, the boys on one side and
the girls on the other. Provision is
made for sewing, cooking, dining, sci
ence, and manual training.
The grounds comprise ter acres and
afford opportunity for spacious lawns,
school garden, and play grounds !;
and, when fully developed, complete
athletic field.
The primary function of the public
schools is to make good citizens. From
the standpoint Of citizenship every
schoolhouse ought to be polling
place. This would not only be eco
nomical but would emphasize the
ideal for which the ballot box stands.
We have tried this plan in Boardman

observed the closing exercises of the
school year, had a speaker on polit-
ical economy from the state univer-
sity, and a community dinner-a real
time Of good fellowship for the people
of the community, young and old.
In addition to the use of the school
as polling place, all the various or
ganizarions Of the community use the
building and its equipment for their
activities: the Ladies' Aid society,
the grange, the farm bureau, Parent
Teachers association, Commercial
club, Community library, Hay Grow
ers' association, the North Morrow
County Fair association, and extern
sion schools. About the only organ
ization in the community that does
not use the school is the church, and
there is some discussion of bringing
that in line where the school audi
forum and class rooms and equip
ment might be used for religious in
struction, while the small cottage
church could be remodeled for a
manse.
The next important step in the de-
yelopment Of the community center
idea would be the federation of the
aforementioned organizations under
community secretary with a
board of directors composed Of the
heads Of each department. Commu-
nifty work could then be carried on
with a definite plan for all and move
steadily forward in accomplishment
of civic needs and betterments.
Representative M. Clyde Kelly OF
Pennsylvania, made a speech recently
in the house on the subject Of federal
government aid for furthering the use
of the public schoolhouse as the CEN
ter Of community association and ac-
tivity. He said, among other things

DOUBLE TREATMENT is BEST
Serum May Be Satisfactory for Short
Fattening Period-lmmunity
Is Not Permanent.

The serum treatment alone will not
bring permanent immunity from hog
cholera. 1t may be satisfactory for a
short fattening period. But for the
farm herd it is necessary to give the
double treatment which consists Of
the virus and the serum. 1t it general
ly understood that hog that has once
recovered from a case of cholera is
permanently immune This immunity
is the result of the formation in the
body of the animal of anti-bodies
which are antagonistic to the disease
germs. For hogs that have been ex-
posed to the disease or that may take
it, it is necessary to use the virus
which gives the animal the disease in
a slight form. The serum which Is
then injected cOmbats the disease
germs and assists the body in resist
ance.
