WORK In SUSSEX
The GrOwn-ups Are Getting Ac-
quainted With Their Local
Schools.
Cannon School Held Big Meeting


About eighty persons were present
at the meeting on December 10th, al
the school house at Cannon. Mr.. ]. j
Allen, President of the Parent-Teach-
er Association, conducted the meeting
After the opening song, Delaware, u
an election took place; Miss Pauline
Priestley being chosen secretary, and
Miss Eunice WOotten, assistant secre-
taTy.
To announce the date of their meet
ings the members decided to have bull
letins made and placed both inside
and outside the school house a few
days before their next meeting. The
association has bought a typewriter
for the use of the school and the P. T.
A, which ought to be a great conven-
fence.
The address of the evening was Civ
en- by the Honorable James NJ. Tun-
nell, of Georgetown, on "The Why of
an Education" AS pupil, teacher,
and a school commissioner, Mr.. Tun-
nell has always been interested in the
subject of education. He said that al
though Delaware had ranked 10th in
education a few years ago, she now
ranks 7th and the State is spending
$4,000 per pupil every year. There is
no question about the value received
for this outlay of money; the future
good of the whole country depends
upon the amount of education acquir-
ed by the twenty million girls and
boys of school age now. Only those /
who are fitted for the prominent |
places in the great worlds work of |
tomorrow, will attain the highest hon |
ors. Education has made America |
what it is today, the greatest country
in the world. Education will make the
youth of America into a strong, loyal
band of citizens, all eager to work for
the good of their great country.
After the address, the pupils of the
Cannon school gave a very interesting
and enjoyable program. Refreshments
were then served. A guest cake, pre-
scented by Mrs. Allen, added $500 to
the associations treasury.

Canaan Sunday in the hills south
of Woodwork, where the latter was
hunting prairie chickens in, company

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The plan Of holding the products
through organized effort for higher
prices would undoubtedly work out
if large enough number would go
in and organize this effect, so that
they would sell only SO much as they
could receive a good price for. This
would require quite a substantial
organization and loyal support for
all its members as well as good, eff
cient management. But we have
nothing of this kind that can save
the farmers this fall. The only thing
that could have done it at this time
would have been to call o special
session of congress to relieve the
emergency through fixing a price but
this the president refused to do. The
government refused to protect the
farmers, but is willing to lake the
railroads and the big corporations
under its wings to see that they are
safe and so they don't suffer. They
must consider them more important
than the farmers who produce the
food that we all must have.
We ought to develop a system of
distribution and promote /co-opera-
tive marketing, but in SO doing we
must not neglect or forget about the
political end of the trouble which
is in reality the most of all.-Peo-
pies Press, Hallock, Mimi.

Violate Sheriff's
Confidence, Escapes

city, fed from ting custody of
the officer and no trace Of him

rested on the street in Minot last
Thursday by Deputy Sheriff C. Il.
Hicks, at the request of the McHenry
county officials, who allege that Ben
son had solicited orders for clothing.

deposit in advance, and then failed
to deliver the merchandise at time
agreed upon.
Benson, it is believed, escaped
through a rear door Of the residence
which he had entered. After waiting

several minutes, Gilbertson investi-
gated to determine the cause of tn
delay and found that he had fed.

JUST A LITTLE CARE.

Reports of numerous tragedies &C.
curing over the state since the OPEN
ing of the hunting season serve to
remind US that no matter how care,
full person tries to be he is not in
fallible and that accidents are bound
to- occur. To know that so many.
have reached a tragic end so soon
after the opening Of the season is.
very lamentable. It should impress
all those who handle guns in the.
field with their responsibility.
Every year hunters are urged to use
caution in the handling Of firearms.
The warnings have been repeated so
often that they have become stereo-
typed phrases and yet it is neces-
sary to- sound them again.
There is no finer sport offered the
average man than the hunting Of
small game. Most hunters are care
full with their guns and the number
Of accidents that occur are small in
comparison to the large number who
invade the fields. But it behooves
every one to use caution. Hunting
should be carefree sport. It should
also be careful sport for a careless
moment may result in tragedy and
sorrow. =
! The hunting season has just open
ed. There are many happy days
ahead. Through all of them let US
be careful that there may be no re-
grets.-Dickinson Press.

These young chickens were roosting

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Little Andy Antelope was the most
cursiOus person you ever knew.
He was SO curious that the two
funny sharp horns just beginning to
grow on top If his Whitley brown
head looked almost like two question
marks, his shiny eyes being the dots
underneath.
+ And he was as pretty as picture,
too, with two broad white stripes
across his throat, and white spots on
his back beside his wee nubbin of a
tail, which was really no tail at all.
One day he deliberately walked off
from his mother, who was very care
full of him, and started on his travels.
t"I'm going to see the world" he
said to himself. II want to see what
it's made of, and who lives on it, and
what they know. I've got hundred
questions to ask.
So off he clattered on his four
neat little boots. He followed the
creek till he came to the plain. Then
he went along and along and along.
By md by he came to q puddle
pond. which was sometimes there
but mostly wasn't.
Just now it was there and it had
company, the puddle pond had. It
had nice little frog that wandered
over from the creek.
"Hello!" said Andy Antelope. "Who
are you?" T.
"Taddy Frog" croaked the little
green fellow. N
"Oh, we, must be cousins" said
Andy Antelope, "for neither of us
has tails and we've both got spots
and you loois - thought you were
getting horns"
perhaps we are" croaked Taddy
in friendly voice. But he looked
doubtful.
"Well, goodby; come and see me
sometime" said Andy. "But l must
be going. I'm. on my travels"
And away he went to the next
place.
That was a swamp spot near the
creek where a lot Of reeds grew.
Andy was thirsty and took q long
drink: When he looked up there was
long legged Mister Crane looking at
him.
"Oh, Aello!" called Andy. "What's
your name? And what's your horn
growing on the front OF your face
for instead Of on top of your head,
and why have you two lese?( You
can't be my cousin for we aren't q
bit alike"
II should say not" declared Mister
Crane haughtily. Il couldn't talk
as much in year as you do in a
minute. Say. did you see Taddy
Frog around!" 49,. re;
"Why, yes" 50 d Andy pleasantly.
"He's over in that puddle-pOnd. Wait
ard I'll 60 and get him"
And away he patSered on his four
little hoofs.
