The story of the rival boot makers,
which appeared recently, is matched
by a correspondent of an English
paper with another story, equally old
but equally worth repeating. It con
cerns two rival sausage makers.
Again, they lived on opposite sides
01 a certain street, and, one day,
one of them placed over his shop
the legend:
“We sell sausages to the gentry
and nobility of the country.”
The next day, over the way, ap
peared the sign:
‘We sell sausages to the gentry
and nobility of the whole country.”
Not to be outdone, the rival put up
what he evidently regarded as a final
statement, namely:
“We sell sausages to the king.”
Next day there appeared over the
door of the tirst sausage maker the
simple expression of loyalty:
“God save the king.”—Christian
Science Monitor.

0 SCHOOL NOTES o
1 'I
O—o-o--o-o-o-o-o
The last four weeks have been
very busy ones and time has been
lacking to write school notes.
Things are getting in good shape
now and more time is at our dis
posal to keep you in touch with
school matters. To date about 350
students have been enrolled, of which
about 47 are in the high school. We
are glad to say that improvement
along all lines is apparent. Pupils
seem to be falling in line with what
we are attempting to do, and seem to
like to come. This is encouraging.
We also appreciate the interest
which is being taken in the school
by the citizens of the town. These
men are coming to our assistance in
a way that will tell in the future
condition of the school. We appre
ciate the interest taken by the clergy
of the city. They have set next Sun
day morning as a time when they
will preach on some phase of pub
lic school work, and the patrons are
urged to be in attendance at the
various churches and hear what will
be said. This is a big proposition
and if we are to meet it all must
practice the “get together” spirit.
Many contributions have been made
to the library, which are appreciated.
* if you have books that you will
donate telephone us and we will
send for them.
There are some things in which we
need co-operation. There have been
so many cases of tardiness during
this month that I am ashamed to
publish the number. Cannot you see
that your children get here on time?
We find that very little time is given
i to' home preparation. Cannot you
I see that your child stays at home on
school nights and puts in a reason
able time on preparation for next
day’s work?
Co-operation is a big item. It
means to study school plans, to talk
school matters, to keep constantly
1 behind your children and see that
j they do what the teacher requires of
i them. Are you in touch with the

THE WORLD
A plow that scours perfectly even in sticky, difficult soil. A
plow that has a long, shapely mouldboard that turns the soil as it
should be turned. A plow that is a money saver on repairs—that does
better work with lighter draft all the time and under all conditions.

school? Do you know what is re- j
quired of your child? If you do not
inform yourself along these lines do
not blame the school for your child’s
failure. Blame yourself.
Teachers have to demand respect
and obedience from the pupils. Do j
you ever talk to your children about
these things? Do you ever say to
them something like this: "One is
not fit to lead unless he has learned
to obey.” We never have trouble
with pupils at school who are taught
to be respectful and obedient at
home.
This school proposition affects all
of us. Give us some real co-opera
tion by taking up these things at
home.
Very respectfully,
FRED L. MacCHESNEY, Supt.

CLASSING OF COTTON
Little Rock, Oct. 1.—Many farmers
are taking advantage of the cotton
classer furnished by the government
to work in conjunction with the State
Department of Agriculture, under the
provisions of the Warehouse law,
passed by the 1917 legislature,
through the efforts of the Farmers’
Union. Commissioner John H. Page
urged cotton growers to take advan
tage of the opportunity and says that
it will enable the producer to get
better prices for cotton. He will be
glad to furnish information.

Near Bridgeton, N. J., 110 acres
of farm land is irrigated by a system
of overhead conduits. The pipes are
elevated several feet above the
ground, and in no way interfere with
the things growing beneath them.
TOO MUCH CAMOUFLAGE
“Gladys," said Mr. Cumrox,
“what’s the idea of these extravagant
clothes and the face makep?”
“We can’t ignore the fashion. I
don't want to be different and con
spicious.”
“Maybe it’s all right. But it does
seem to me that in a country that
is still peaceable _ there's no need of
so much camouflage.”—Washington

SPEAKING OF EQUALITY

“It doesn’t seem quite fair," said
,.lr. Meek ton. "If I were to go to

fuse to speak to me.”
“Oi course."
‘But if Henrietta goes to jail the
members of her suffragette club

the’ limits of present factory prices. If you are seriously
thinking of buying a wagon it will certainly pay you to consult
with us at once. We cannot offer any guarantee that present
prices will continue long. You will make an absolutely safe
investment by purchasing a new wagon NOW. You don t
need to be introduced to the Studebaker. The chances are j
your father and grandfather used this make. The name is
synonymous iwth efficiency, durability and dependability. It
is a household word in nearly every farm home in America. |
