with an ease and grace that lifted his
specialized eyes.
After two or three unsuccessful at
tempts he finally succeeded in scram-
bling to Rex's back and followed her
down the drive, where the old banker
already had the gate open.
Just through the gate the girl fell
suddenly thoughtful.
"Wait-Tn be back in a minute,
she said and touching Brownie with
the whip. dashed away up the River
road. A moment later under the big
elm by the barn-lot gate at the War
hope homestead. she drew rein. While
Brownie stood prancing, still a mite
resentful at the touch of the whip. the
girls head lifted. her throat and lips
frightened, and the clear call of a king
cardinal made the great elm musical.
A big man with a mighty spread of
shoulder. at work in the cattle pens,
lifted his head and listened. Next mo-
ment Jack Warhope appeared around
the corner of a shed, vaulted the fence
and came striding down the barn lot.
'"Texiel Wy"
He opened the gate and came out
into the road. The girl smiled upon
him %curiously fumbled In her blouse;
drew out the letter In the formidable
manila envelope and handed it to
him. He took it gazed at it, and then
looked up at the girl.
"'Net TO be opened until his twenty
first birthday" he read-"what d. y'u
s'pose Pap Simon's up to now?"
That's what | ben wonderin'," was
the thoughtful answer. "but I reckon
we'll have t wait till-till-"
"Six more days" he finished, as the
girl frightened the reins and pulled
Brownies mouth up from the grass.

"MeY'
The dimples flashed at him.
MIR. Hopkins wants t 60"
"Hopkins?"
He shrugged his great shoulders and
glanced down the road where the
preacher sat on his horse awkwardly
in front of the red-roofed cottage.
Jack"
He turned back to her; waited for
her to go on.
BE nice to i'm. He knows s. much,
and he was good T. pore-Ken-"
He bent his head in respect for the
minor note. The soft purr of the elm
twigs came out family clear on the
drowsy day the girl sat drawing the
cracker of the riding whip up and
down between the stirrup and the toe
of her shapely small shoe.

He had looked up; the girl turned
her eyes toward him.
Don't let this-man git no holt on
y'u. He amt no man f'r-yOu. His
ain't-our ways"
The girl lifted her face and laughed
"a trife ~uneasily.
Jack, you're alw'ys so-serious.
Hurry up and git Graylock."
How d. y'u know I'm goin'?"
"Ain't y'u?'
He smOothed the name on Brownies

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
fBy County SUPERINTENDENT

The returns from the Tubcrcu-
losis Seal and Bond Sale in Jack
son County at the present time
shows cash on hand amounting to
S232.24 from the sale in the schools
alone. There are promisis from
School Boards for $l4 in addition
to the amount mentioned. With
five school districts and three
teachers not included in this re-
port at the present time in addi-
tion to sales through other agen-
cies under direct control of the
county chairman, Mrs. Carlisle, it
would appear that we will not fall
short of our objective Of a $500
sale for this county. This splendid
showing is largely due to the
splendid cooperation and support
Of the teachers of the county who
so Loyalty bent every effort to make
this sale success. Then too, it
would seem to indicate that the
people Of Jackson County are
whole hearted in their desire to
promote every good thing along
educational lines.
The Board of Control of the
Jackson County Atheletic and
Oratorical Association will hold a
regular meeting on February %.
At that time the date for the an
nual County meet will be selected.
The Meet will be held at, Interior
this year.
Parents and teachers arc urged
to cooperate interest among the
children in the Spelling Contests
called for In Jackson County. Let
us raise the standard of spelling
in the Jackson County schools.

AN EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION

The watchword of the American
farmer is Cooperation. Business
running into the billions was done
by the cooperative associations
last year The business is not al
ways confined to the selling of pro-
duets and the purchase of farm
supplies. In many lines of pro-
gress Cooperation is the key to
success. Farmers organize for bet
ter schools and for any needed
community Improvement.
A fine example of cooperative
work is found in Virginia. In that
state more than 1883 community
leagues have been organized with
membership of over 63,000 The
leagues of each county are organ
lied into a federation and there
are district organizations formed
by the union of county groups.
Not the least interesting are the
Junior Community Leagues formed
by the school boys and girls.
Over 400 Of these junior leagues
have been organized with a mem
bership of about $4,000. In a
school district the corn and pig
clubs, poultry and canning clubs,
managed by the boys and girls may
unite in a junior league.
The activities of the leagues are
coordinated by the Cooperative
Education Association which is
the State organization formed to
foster this great progressive move
ment. The u. S. Bureau of Educa-
tion. Department of Interior, will
send free to any applicant It's Bul-
letin, 1923, No. 53, on "The Cooper
ative Education Association Of
Virginia" giving in some detail the
work of the community leagues.

In Farm Relief


Washington, ID. c. Feb. 1924
The Act extending the War Fl
nance Cooperation passed the
House on February l3, 1924. The
Senate Bill, which was identical
with the Williamson Is. d. bill ex-
cept as to date to which the War
Finance Corporation will be ex-
tended, having already passed that
body, was substituted to expedite
passage in both houses. Congress
man Williamson offered amend
ments to the Senate bill, providing
that the active life of the cOrpor-
alton should be extended to Feb
ruary Is, 1926, in place of Novem-
ber 80, 1924 as provided in the sem
ate bill. He argued that the senate
measure would not give sufficient
time within which to clear up the
distressing situation in the North
west, and contended that the spon-
sors of the earlier date sought to
kill the electives of the War Fin
ancc Act by letting it's power TO
accept new loans expire before the
Of Congress next De-
cember He insisted that the life
of the corporation be extended to
such n time as Congress would be
in session so that a further extern
tion could be granted should this
become necessary.
After hot fight his amend
ment lost only two votes. 1t is eX-
pected the measure will go to the
President for his signature within
a few days.

Death Calls
c. o. Perault

Just before the Press closes its
forms this morning at ten, hush
fell over the town as the wires
brought the sad message that our
hardware merchant, c. 0. Perault,
had just passed away at st. Jo-
sephs hospital in Mitchell. The
most cheerful and hopeful news
has been coming lately and all
were in hopes to see him complete
the victor over his long and COM
plicated troubles. His son Bert re-
turned yesterday as is related in
these columns that are already
printed.
Eight weeks ago on Lay he
first entered the hospital with an
intestinal rupture. When he was
ready to come home pneumonia
laid him low at once. This over
come an abcess on one of his lungs
once more brought him face to
face with death. Once more rally
ing from this, but his vitality
sapped he was as one of the
doctors rightly said, one of the
sickest men he had ever had This
man expressed grave fears for our
friend saying that one more abcess
might prove fatal. If. however,
he could survive until spring,
more hope might be entertained.
The message was not specific,
but it is presumed that heart
failure ended the long and fierce
battle for life.
Funeral arrangements have not
been arranged and we. are sorry to
have to go to press without an an
nounccment of this kind. Mrs.
Perault called for Bert and he is
leaving on the noon train to join
her for further arrangements.
Kadoka has lost a cheerful, optim-
istic merchant and mourns it's
loss.

The usual spring argument of
taking the boys out of school and
putting them to work in the fields
will soon begin in the farm home.
The father is very busy. Flowing
and planting must be done on time.
OF is hard to hire men that can be
trusted with the machinery or the
horses. Hired men mean more
work--in the kitchen for the moth

not be interesting, The boys are
dependable, like to be out of doors,
and are proud to take mans
place and help with the work.
That is the easy, lazy way Of look
