He met her In the meadow.
The sun was shining low
They strolled along together
In the evenings afterglow
Her eyes were fixed upon him
As he lowered all the bars
And they shone, in his opinion.
Like beautiful evening Ftsrs
They stroiied on thru the meadow
IL was getting darker now.
He was simple country lad,
She was a Jersey COW.

ARRANCES FOR DISTRIBUTION
OF COUNTY SCHOOL FUNDS

County Superintendent of Schools
Lille o. Baker yesterday certified to
County Treasurer A. Fl. Stanard the
distribution or apportionment of the
funds under the teachers minimum
salary act of the legislature.
The certificate shows that there are
400 school teachers employed in Pueblo
county, and that the sum required for
their salaries under the new law is
S293 362.o 80, which amount the county
superintendent relates, has been pro-
vided for by a tax levy by the board
of county commissioners of 425 mills
on each dollar or assessed valuation in
the county for the fiscal year 1921-22.
Statement issued by Mrs. Baker
gives the numbers of all the districts
of the county. the number of teachers
employed by each. the number of
months taught in each and the
of this 4.25 mills under the provision
of the minimum salary law, which
provides that no teacher shall be paid
less than SIS a month for the actual
time put into his or her work.
In somo instances the amount dis
tricts will receive is less than the
amount they will pay into the treas
urer's office in taxes while In many
other cases of small property valua-
tion districts the amount received out
of this special tax levy will be in ex-
cess of the amount the district pays in
taxes. 1t is of necessity an equaliZa-
ton proposition made necessary by the
minimum salary law.
For example, district No. 20 pays a
large amount of tax largely on ac-
count of the steel works being in that
district; In fact it pays something like
$1,000 while the amount 1t will re-
ceive out of the new additional tax

Dairying Development In Mis-

The development bureau OF the ILL

OF dairy farming In Mississippi. ac-
cording to an interview with HI. J..
Schwietert, OF Chicago. general de-
velopment agent for the system, in
the Jackson News. There have been
1872 dairy meetings held In II coun-
ties and $1,000 farmers have received
valuable Information concerning
dairying and better farming through
lectures and moving pictures. Mr..
chwietert said that he had more re-
quests for holding meetings than his
department could fill and that there
never was a time when the farmers
were more ready to cooperate for
mutual advantage than they are
now. He quoted what a bank presi-
dent had said to him that farmers
who had developed dairying work
were showing their prosperity by

WILL new TARIFF HELP TRADE?

The proposed tariff is guaranteed
by it's author, Senator Fordney, to
bring uniform and universal pros
perity! Democrats describe it as un-
adulterated robbery. The truth prob
ably lies in-between. That many Of
the schedules will be eliminated or
drastically changed is certain. That
they ought to be is equally certain.
The drafters OF this voluminous bill
have failed to grasp the elementary
fact that the transformation of our
country from a debtor to the princi-
pal creditor nation In the world rem
ders Imperative a change iu our
whole tariff policy. They have also
apparently neglected to realize that
protection by country fosters pro-
lection against that country. And
the United States just now needs
greater export markets than any
other country in the world. The
whole tariff conveys the impression
OF having been compiled in the inter-
ests OF various industries and groups
rather than in the interest of the
American people as whole. The
very fullest discussion should pre-
cede final action by Congress.

Of APPAREL for all parts of his body,
and one for the Lords day, the other
for working days, suitable to his de-
gree, No other remuneration was
recited. Three years before his term
was out he ran away, and worked
at Halifax, Portsmouth, Boston and
Charleston, s. e. In Boston he pub
lished weekly, called the Spy, and
identified himself with revolutionary
forces. He once slept for a time on
the rags in the shop that were bought
for the manufacturers OF paper, and
lived on sustenance of bread and
milk. He became the friend of George
Washington and Benjamin Franklin,
as well as other revolutionary lead
ers, and amassed great wealth. In
1902 he owned farms, warehouses
and printing plants all over New
England. He originated the great
papermaking industry now contigu-
Gus to Worcester, Mass. He did the
printing for the revolutionary Prov
incial Congress and when on July "a,

cester with the Declaration Of Inde-

was Isaiah Thomas good fortune to
read the paper to large crowd as
sembled, the first time that 1t was
read in New England.
He published the school books Of
his time, the Holy Bible, and the first
dictionary published in America. The
Editor of the Democrat has copy
of this dictionary. He found it in
North Attleboro, Massachusetts,
