battle raging in his heart
..Why-why, you're unhappy
about something, aren't you, Sen-

said Marjorie, noticing how quiet
he was and glancing at his trou-
bled face, even handsomer than
usual in his distress.
He started. ION the contrary,
my dear lady, am happy, very
happy-to be with you, alone;
you; being able to speak to you.

UNCONSIDERED ASSETS

When the propagandists in favor
of cancellation of the war debts tell
about, the difficulty the debtors will
have in paying, they are careful not
to mention the vast acquisitions of
territory in Africa which added to
the wealth of Great Britain or the
French acquisitions in former Ger
man territory. We do not envy Eng
land or France their added territory
but we do think that this phase Of
war settlements should be taken into
consideration by those who want the
United States to add $1,000, 100000
more to it's contribution to the ex-
penses of the war.

Our public school is the cradle of
knowledge for this town. II might
we'll be termed the incubator of pro-
gress and achievement.
Have you been over lately to see
how your children are progressing?
Have you paused long enough to let
the teachers know that you are inter-
ested in the good work they are do
ing toward the educ ational and NOR
al advancement of your boy or girl,
Have you given them any encour-
agement whatever?
IF the sheriff, or the mayor, or any
other official does a good piece of
work we tell hin so--just as we
roast him if he falls down on his job.
He expects both, and he gets which
ever is coming to him.
If the teacher displeases us in any
way we are quick TO censure. Some
times we make big noise.
But day after day our teachers are
doing good work-exceilent work.
and we take it simply as matter Of
course, as something that is coming
to US. We neglect to extend the
commentator that is their due.

What do you do with the old cylin-
der oil from your automobile crank
case? Diluted with an equal quantity
of kerosene it makes a good spray or
wash for the poultry roosts, says Mrs.
Kate M. Wells, poultry specialist,
Division of Exttnsion The roosts
should have a mid-winter cleaning
about this time in order that the
mites do not get ahead of us before
warm weather comes
1t is also a good time to go over
the hens with sodium fiouride, using
about dozen pinches of the powder
over the hens body, placing them as,
follows: On the head, neck, back,
tail, breast, fluff (below the vent)
and thighs; rub the powder we'll on

If you prefer to make. your own
lice powder here is good one:
3 pints of gasolene
l pint crude carbolic acid Gas pure

4 quarts plaster of paris
l pound lime
l pound sulphur
Mix liquids together. Then mix
the solids together. Add the solids to
the liquids, stirring all the time.
Put aside to dry for day or two.
Use it freely, working it we'll under

RELIEF MUST Be

More clearly each day is big bust

be quickly given to the farmer il
general trade is to be saved to the
nation. Reports from five states
show an unprecedented number of
telephones discontinued by farmers
because they can no longer afford
the cost of the convenience. Still
another reflex ection is the heavy
slump in the automobile market
To the unthinking it may be far
cry from the motor car to the tiller
Of the soil, but the fact is that farm
ers and dwellers in small towns alb
serb the majority of automobiles
manufactured in this country. Con-
ditions on the farms are now such
that the old gray mare is being drag
ged into service and the "buzz wag-
gon" set aside for future use, or sac
rificed for ready cash. The price of
gasoline is factor now seriously
considered by the farmer who in
prosperous times is a liberal and
healthy spender. And so run reports
all down the line The farmers,
their wives, sons and daughters are
exercising economy in clothing; the
talking machine has been hard hit;
indeed, stripping the farmer Of his
hard-earned dollar is fast creating a
condition that is felt seriously by
hundreds of industries and now even
in the halls of finance. Irrespective
of geographical location, regardless
of whether they are merchants, man.
ufacturers, or depend on the weekly
pay envelope, it will not be long be-
fore the people recognize the fact
that the so-called agricultural bloc
is not an agricultural bloc at all
that is an American bloc, the first
tangible evidence of the awakening
of the American people to the neces-
ity of guarding the parent of pros
perity the farmer.

Eleven thousand nine hundred and
thirty miles of Federal-aid roads
were constructed under the joint su-
pervision of the Federal Government
and the States during 1921, acc riding
to reports Of the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Federal mon
ey amounting to S94, 057,0S9 was alot-
ted to these roads, the total cost of
which was 1921, 963,682 In this mile
age there is included 1886 miles in
projects wholly completed ana the
equivalent of 1885, miles Of work
cone on projects that are not wholly
completed Every State shared IN
the benefits of this work.
The projects undo" way duri Q the
year amounted to one-half of all the
road work carried on in the United
States during the year. A fair idea
of the magnitude of the road work
done under the supervision of the
Department of Agriculture last year
may be gained wheel it is understood
that the total mileage is considera-
bly, more than enough to encircle the
earth, that it is equal to more than
10 per cent of all the improved roads
previously existing in the United
States, and that it is equal to nearly
s percent Of the entire road system
of France, At this rate we wo4'd be
able to build the equivalent of
Frances entire road syster1 in IL
years.

Schools Cradle OF KnONI6dO6


We do not speak for the teachers,
but we feel that they would welcome
visits from the parents Of the com
munity, or from any interested citi-
zen. Certainly such visits would be
pleasing and encouraging to the chill
dren.
In few years the destinies of
this community will be in the hands
of these children. The greatest her
itage we can leave them, the one
which will best fit them for meeting
the intricate problems of life, is an
adequate education.
The public school is the greatest
asset of our national life today. 1t
inculcates in the juvenile mind re-
spect and veneration for all that is
upright, just and humane, and paves
the pathway of life with that xnowl-
edge understanding which is neces-
sary to successful and honorable
career.
Recognition a little thing to give
but it's potentialities are great, both
as regards the teacher and the pupil

Some of this corn likker would

Camferdam in the spirit Of fua.
