the artillery blue faced with red. At
that time these were the only two
arms in the composition of the army.
Later cavalry was added. wearing
green coats with white facings, which
soon after changed to black. Since

Harden House Plants.

II you have been starting house
plants In the house, be sure that you
harden them on we'll before you trans
fer them to the open ground. This
means gradually exposing them to the
outside air, or. better still, setting them
in cold frame, which can be covered
at night. If you haven't any glass
for such a frame, YOU can cover It
with prepared cloth. which is much
cheaper and just as satisfactory.

THE SILVER LINING

The question is asked, why under
practical Free-Trade and in antlclpa-
ton of higher duties are we not IN
creasing our imports? 1t is partly,
and largely, because we are broke.
We have always been broke after
Free-Trad priod. For instance, just
before the enactment of the Dingley
law in 1897, when we knew there
would be a sharp increase in votes,
there was an actual falling off IN
total imports. If we go back to the
enactment of the Morrill, Tariff of
1861 We will find large falling on
in total imports just before. A period
of Free-Trade brings on condltlons
where the people are too poor TO
buy no matter how cheap are the
articles wanted. We hear of the con-
sumers' strike, but it is compulsory
as we'll as voluntary. If we were
striking against our own inflated
prices and waiting for the defiation
that was bound TO come why do we
not purchase in larger quantities of
the cheaper foreign goods with which
our markets have been flooded? We
say cheaper foreign goods, we should
say, foreign goods that ought to be
cheaper but the price of which i'm
porters and retailers have boosted for
profit.
Five million people are out of en-
ployment, that means that from twen-
ty to twenty-five million people have
little or no income, or purchasing
power and their forced economy and
retrenchment seriously affect the
other seventy-fve or eighty million.
We are so interdependnnt that pow
erty or prosperity is far reaching and
affects all in greater or lesser degree.
Toss a stone into the lake and watch
the circles spreading to the shores on
every side. Toss a Free-Trade invoice
into our industrial area and the circles
of adversely widen in every direction.
1t is true that conditions are abnormal
because of the War and its aftermath,
but Free-Trade is like a pestilence
that consumes everything in its path.
Even if it be suggested that Free
Trade is only an attendant or added
scourge to the burdens of war, still
our contention is true that it has aug
mented our ills both industrial and
social, and we cannot recover till the
cause is removed.
Uncle Sam is not dead broke, be-
cause of his reserves which have not
been exhausted, but if a Protection
President and Congress were not soon
to come to the rescue there would be
no hope whatever of rehabilitation.
We shall have to mark time little
longer, but the very hope of relief
will stimulate, till the wheels of in
dustry begin to turn again and we
commence to do our own work with
its rewards of pay and profit.
History will again repeat itself and
prosperity will follow paucity and
poverty, when underlying conditions
are such that demand exceeds supply
with the wherewithal to make it q
potent factor in production, distribu=
tion and consumption.

Many woOdchucks are caught In
steel traps, but the animal often es-
capes by gnawing off its own leg as
near the jaws of the trap as possible.
says the American Forestry Magazine.
Sometimes a wOOdchuck will pull the
trap down a burrOw as far as he can
do so, and seal himself in : IT then be-
comes quite a task to unearth him
and pull him out. for he hangs on like

The stormy weather of the even
ing of the Fourth prevented Prof.
Malloy from entertaining our citizens
with another of his pleasing outdoor
band concerts. The Free Press was
prevented by an inscrutable provid-
ence from acknowledging in apprO-
pirate terms the Professors first con-
cert, and suggesting a public purse
for their continuance through the
summer.

Worlds Champion of Fistiana
(Ignatius 1. Murphy, Hays, Kansas,
Author of "Behold the Flag.")
A first class fighting man, you rank,
Champion of the world,
Your lion heart, a challenge bold,
Your country's flag unfurled.
Your Celtic blood will tell the tale
On soil where freemen stand,
The breed that counts not odds nor
cost,
In air, on sea or land.
The courage of the Fighting Race,
Your sturdy, strong right arm
Shall win anew for Stars and Stripes
And keep our "Jack'' from harm.
Your lightning, crashing blows shall
bring
The vict'ry on the Fourth,
For U. S. A. spells not defeat, 3
When chosen ones go forth.
You'll wear the colors that we love,
The old Red, White and Blue,
Though you're breasting worthy foe
man,
We're pulling strong" for you.

From far-off, golden West,
And may the eagle loudly scream,
When Dempsey stands the test.

CONSOLIDATION WILL MAKE
SCHOOLS EFFICIENT


a specialized profession" says NJ. L.
Smith, head of the department of
school consolidation at the Kansas
State Normal School in Emporia.
consolidation will decrease the
total number of grade teachrs in the
state but it will greatly increase the
number of special teachers" Mr..
/ Smith explained. 'Fewer teachers
will be required to teach the pupils in
a consolidated school than were re-
! quired in the several scattered one
room schools. However, these fewer
: teachers will need to be specialists;
some of them expert primary teach
ers, some intermediate, others gram
mar grade or junior high school teach
ers"
Work will be Departmental
Mr.. Smith went on to explain how
the work will be largely departmental
and there will need to be special
teachers in music, art, etc. Each
grade teacher will be able to teach
! the work which especially appeals to
her.
Approximately the same amount
will be spent for grade teaching that
is being spent now, but this money
will go to fewer teachers, so each will
get MORE" said Mr.. Smith. BET
fay
will be required and the more prep
aration and experience the better the
pay. We may expect this kind of
teacher to have four years of high
school and at least two years of Nor
NAL school training.
Attendance Increases Forty Per Cent
Attendance has increased forty
per cent in consolidated districts"
declared Professor Smith. "This
shows that the consolidated school is
reaching the country boy and girl
and that larger number of pupils
will finish the grades, for such a
school can offer them inducement to
remain. In a consolidated school
there will be a good library, good
laboratories, training in music, art,
etc., manual training, vocational agri-
culture, home economics, athletics,
and everything that the city boy and
girl have. When one graduates from
the grades, it will be the natural thing
for him to enter the high school,
which is right at hand, awaiting him.
Money Buys Twice as Much
'The consolidated schools will not
be cheaper in dollars and cents" de-
clared Mr.. Smith, "but every dollar
spent on them will buy at least fifty
per cent more in education than it
ever buys in a one-room school. If
the consolidated school maintained
the same length of term and recita-
tion period and would be satisfied
with the poor equipment and poor
teachers found in one-roOm schools, it
would be cheaper, but it would not
be efficient. The school plant is in
use much greater part of the time
than the one-room school and this use
is increasing, until soon it will be
functioning the entire twelve months.
Transportation makes the cost
show up on the tax rate instead of the
, bank book" asserted Mr.. Smith.
"When the parents transported their
children to the school the cost appear
ed in the bank book
