PINE GROVE DISTRICT NO. IA

The Home and School Association
of this district hell its last meeting,
OF the school year, at the school house
on Friday evening, May 26th. Notwith-
standing the fact that we were I'M
able to secure a speaker for the ev-
ching as desired, a very fine program
was arranged by the Junior Literary
Society of the school and the mem
bers of the Home and School AssOcia-
tiOn.
The meeting was called to ORDER by
| the president, followed by a victrOla
selection, "Auld Lang Syne," which
was followed by the Lords Prayer"
in concert. The minutes OF the preced-
ing meeting were then read by the
| secretary who also gave financial
statement and treasurers report OF
| the association.
After several splendid recitations
by the pupils of the school two little
first grade girls dramatized Little
Boy Blue and Miss Muffet in a way
that brought applause from the en-
tire audience. The second and fourth
grades also gave lessons in dramati-
zation, which goes to prove what a
wide-awake, progressive teacher can
accomplish, even in rural school.
The School Journal was then read
by a member of the Junior Literary
Society who explained that the school
was in possession of a beautiful pic
ture, a gift from the Service Citizens,
won by the school as reward for
good attendance for the month of
April. He then appealed to the Home
and School Association for financial
aid to have it framed which was re-
sponded to with very liberal con-
tributiOn.
The teacher made a short address
thanking the association for its hearty
cooperation in assisting her with her
school work during the year. After
several select readings by members, !
the committee on refreshments served |
ice cream and saltines to all present.
The meeting then adjourned until |
the beginning of the next school year.
The association is very grateful to !
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Morgan for the |
use of their victrola which they so |
generously loaned at each meeting.
These meetings have proved very
beneficial to both parents and tea
cher.
They have created quite an enthusi-
astic community spirit which we hope
will continue to spread until every
patron shall become interested in the
educational development of this COM
munity. School will close Friday, June
End, followed by the annual school
picnic, on Saturday afternoon, June

WHEEL HOE IS LABOR SAVER
Little Implement Suitable for Small or
Large Garden; Trowels Are Handy;
Spraying Outfits Are Es-
sential.

With the first warm days of spring

hasty scurrying around for the tools
Of the gardening cult. A gardener can
get along fairly well with four, spade
or spading fork, hoe, a rake, and u
trOwel. 1t is even possible to get along
without the last, but who wantsstO?
The art of gardening is reaching
such a point of special development
that there are tools for almost every
thing and the wise gardener by a care
full selection will ease his work as
much as possible by securing appro-
pirate working implements.
The greatest labor saver for gardens
Of any extent is a little wheel hoe.
This saves many headache, does the
work thoroughly, and has appliances
for various purposes which are inter-
changeable from a little plOw share
to cultivatOrs Of various kinds. It can
be used in the smallest garden.
There are numerous hoes of various
types and designed for different pur-
poses. The pointed hoe for making
rows is a convenient tool. The hoe
with rake teeth on the back Of the
blade is one of the very handiest all
around garden tools for light work
there is. 1t is particularly we'll adapt
ed for women gardeners. Three tOOthed
cultivatOr hoes do a fine job of stir

they are sometimes called that can be
pushed instead of pulled, permit hoe
ing rows which are too close to walk
between conveniently.
TrOwels Of various shapes to suit
various plants are now on the market,
stiff, sharply angled small bladed trow-
els are ideal for splitting off pieces
from perennials which have grown so
large they need dividing for their best
growth. They are fine to set under a
recalcitrant carrot or parsnip whose
leaves are so tender they part COM
pany from the root, leaving it in the
ground.
Long bladed trowels are especially
adapted for digging holes for gladiOlus

paris. March TO-
With TIE Genoa conference only
three weeks away the greatest public
obscurity still seems to. surround the
exact purposes behind it's convocation.
That it will be the first Pan European
congress in many decades is certain,
but that II will be a congress without
competent helmsn,an to steer it
toward well defined destination is
still very possible.
In fact, Continental Europe is in un-
certainty regarding its objects, and its
possible results are well summed up
by the Echo dc Paris to-day in its
statement: The destiny Of this as
sembly rises and falls with the
thoushts Of the man who plants po-
tatoes in Wales
The latest development which has mys-
tilted Europe in this connection is the
report that the English experts. working
supposedly under the direction OF Pre-
mier LLOYD George. author Of the Genoa
conference, have prepared an agenda
which has just been sent to the princi-
pal chanceleries in advance of the meet
ing of experts which opens Tomorrow in
London. This report has caused great
surprise because it is devoted chiefly
to 2 general discussion on how to bring
back currency stability in Europe.
Russia Is Omitted.
The Genoa conference, judging from
this report. would seem merely q pro-
longa.ion Of the Brussels financial con-
gress aud the Bare Iona transportation
congress. Believing. on the contrary.
that Russia was to be the chief prob
lem before the Genoa meeting, the
French experts who departed for Lon
don to-day have confined their attention
almost exclusively TO this subject and
have taken with them a comprehensive
plan for putting Russia on her feet.
This was done in the belief that Mr..
Lloyd Georges experts had been labor
ing toward the same end
Nothing seems better to illustrate the
confusion IS TO the purpose behind ths
whole plan than the absence i'm the Brit

tions for Russian rehabilitation. This
has revived the old suspicion in the
French mind Of deep laid plan on the
part of the British Prime Minister,
should he remain in Office, to make
Genoa political rather than. an eco
nomic congress, with revision Of the
peace treaties of Europe as the basis
tor discussion.
1t is apparent that not only the
French but the other nations on the
Continent have become more and more
mystified as to why Mr.. Lloyd George
should be so intent upon going TO Genoa
In person If the meeting is principally
to discuss the restoration OF the gold
standard for Europe. 1t is the present
plan of the French Government to coun-
ter any possible political plan of Mr..
Lloyd George by sending to Genoa a
delegation composed almost IL not en-
tirely of financial and economic ex-
perts.
should Mr.. Lloyd George or the Ger
mans. therefore, seek to bring UP polit-
ical issues at Genoa the French delega-
ton would merely repl ythat this was
not possible on account of The consti-
tuition of its delegation

This plan, however. may be changed
at the last moment. depending on
whether France succeeds i'm bringing the
lesser allies, such as the Little Entente
group, in accord with II. Undoniably the
Genoa congress is taking on more and
more of political aspect. The different
groups of States are emphasizing the
fear which Is running throughout Europe
that It is to be much more than dis
cussion of the gold standard. These
groups are:
First, the neutral states which, while
desiring Europe's economic rehabilita-
ton. have shown they believe some re-
vision of the peace treaties is necessary
TO accomplish it.
Second, the Baltic states, cut from old
Russia, which have already met and
now have been invited to Moscow, APP
parently with the view of lining them
up against western Europe and prevent
ing their alliance with the Little En-
tente.''
Third. the Little Entente" which
has already decided upon common
policy much in accord with that of
France namely to oppose any discussion
of treaties and make common cause
against the Soviets.
To li3G DIS I~nlSllc, IL IL Ndii
be held together In a common policy
which will be determined probably at
the meeting OF experts in London.
Germany appears to be playing a
lone hand. not having openly associated
herself with any of these groups,
though 1t is suspected by the French
she will ultimately line up with the
Soviets.

tails Of the report of the French ex-
perts whicl' when contrasted with that
Of the British report emphasizes the
divergency between the two delegations.
It's most significant feature Is the at

morize their program of reconstruction

held by France to be essentially de-
structive.
