Horace Mann, the founder OF Co

bill bearing date April 10. 1887, where
by state board of education was
created in Massachusetts,. Mann was
a lawyer, a reformer and philanthro-
plst. and was instrumental In having
the board revise the school laws and
to reorganize the common-school sys-

tlon. This was the great work Of his
life, for the work begun under his
leadership was not confined to Massa-

ted States and led to the free public
school system as It Is known today.
These reforms were instituted chief
ly through his annual reports, OF which
there are twelve volumes, which are
now considered as classics, being re-
printed In Europe and circulated

the more centralized control OF the
town, which would give broader pub

which are recommended by the bureau
Of markets of the Department of Ag-
riculture as being sufficient In num-
ber TO satisfy all legitimate require

3-quart, or l peck; 16-quart, or one
half bushel; 32-quart, or ! bushel I;
4S-quart, or Ia bushels. 1t is sug-
gested that the latter be made in two
styles to meet the preference In va
rious parts OF the country.
The round-stave basket, for which
there is no standard, is popular In all
regions except the southern and Mid
die Atlantic states and on the Pacific
coast. About 20,000,0O0 such baskets
are manufactured annually. The sizes
which are recommended as standards
by the bureau of markets pre the
same as those recommended for the
hamper, except for the elimination of
the S-quart size. The splint, or

also no standards, are well known to
the public as market baskets. The

rear of markets are five in number

WlNDBREAKS SAVE MOISTURE
Farming and Living Conditions More
Favorable In Regions Where Trees
Are Planted.

When the prairie regions of the Mia.
die West were first developed the lack
of trees was severely felt. The clear
sweep of the winds across the plains
was a great hindrance to agricultSe,
for the soil was dried out quickly by
evaporation, grain was lodged, and or.
chards injured by the force Of the
wind. Windbreaks were the only rem
edy and thousands Of miles of them
were planted along roads and farm d.
vision lines. The effect Of this plant.

very distinct; farming and living COD
dltlons became more favorable through
