time to each recitation.
4. More thorough work, better
teachers, and by far better schools.
5. The country pupil would have
an equal chance with his city cousin.

Education for All.
What is the matter with country
life? This question has been ringing
the ears of American people until
it has become almost monotonous.
Numerous answers have been given,
and we might enquire at the same
time what is the matter with city
life? And if we want to go to the
ery bottom and answer these ques-
tions, the same answer would come
back. A defective educational sys-
tem. Our system is good, but does
it satisfy the demand?
We can not lay the blame on our
brother a thousand miles away, but
must bring it to our very door. We
have a four or six shovel cultivator
instead of the old single shovel; the
giant steam threshing machine in-
stead of the old tlail or threshing
floor; the magnificent twine binder
instead of the old reaper. We have
made unparalled progress in all the
arts and sciences, but we have the
same little white school house on
the corner (and some are not so
white) and about the same old school
system of our grand lathers.
Our rich give their millions to es-
tablish great universities as monu-
ments to their names
About one in fifty of the farmer
boys get a coinon school education.
We now have the county high school
which at first thought seems to be
good thing, but does it serve the
irpose? In one county we find that
; much as $100,000 has been invest-
l in one of these schools. If we are
mind to figure and investigate a
:tle, we find that these institutions

high school costing about 65

You can eat anything your stomach
craves without fear of a case of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia, or that your
food will ferment or sour on your
stomach if you will oc casionally take
a little Diapepsin after eating.
Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested
nothing can ferment or turn into acid
causes belching, dizziness, a feeling
of fullness after eating, nausea, in-
digestion (like a lump of lead in the
stomach), biliousness, heartburn,
water brash, pain in stomach and
intestines or other symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are
absolutely unknown where this effec-
tive remedy is used. Diapepsin really
does all the work of a healthy stom-
ach. It digests your meals when your
stomach can't. Each triangle will
digest all the food you can eat and
leave nothing to ferment or sour.
Get a large 50 cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin from your druggist and
start taking today and by tomorrow
you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong s omach, for you
then can eat anything and every-
thing you want without the slightest
discomfort or misery, and every par-
ticle of impurity and gas that is in
your stomach and intestines is go-
ing to be carried away without the
use of laxatives or any other as-
sistance
A Word to the Wise.
November, last, was the election
time,
A howling, growling time;
With the Democrats for v/illiam J.
The Republicans for Taft.
The moneyed men, with a grunt
and grin,
Passed around the wine and gin;
While the working man, with hi- j
horny hand,
Hung around to take things in.
But things went wrong—lit was
taken in,
Though it may sound somewhat t' in.
He was sent down stream like a ti at
ing raft,
For the votes elected Taft
Most all the states did the same
thing, too,
Though the act they'll surely rue.
For Republicans, to the House they
sent
The same to the Senate went.
But our new state was among the
few
Who did what they all should do.
Oklahoma went for the Democrats
Though some folks did yell "Rats!"
And now behold this same Con-
gress bold
With its G. O. P. stronghold.
See the bills they pas>! What are
they? Alas!
What a bulky, heaped-up mass!
A mass of grumbling and whines
and sighs
Over Roosevelt's so-called lies;
Nothing more nor less than a juinblc-
ed mess,
Not a word our needs to bless.
The Senate, too, what do those
men do
While their sky is bright and blue?
Why, they try to raise their large
salaries
For the sake of frivolties.
Said one man grand, with his face
quite bland,
And an icy, trembling hand,
"Why, the president does not get
enough
To pay for his social fetes."
O, what a shame that the leading
man
Cf our nation, great and grand,
Is not paid enough to enable him
To avoid debt's shadow grim!
More shame that he, in his triva
glee,
Should demand so large a fee;
While his fellow man, toiling at the
mill
Gets a small one dollar bill.

many students will you find in
the county high school who do not
live within a radius of five miles of
the school? And granting that a few
rural students do come to the
school, who is the teacher that can
/instil into that student the beauties
of the wholesome rural life, and at
the same time taking him into the
congested walls of the town to ac-
complish it? But aside from this we
have no fight to make on the county
high school, except it concentrates
too much of our taxes in one place.
We simply want to put our means
where they will bring the best re-
turns to all.
Now let us take our $100,000 and
distribute it equally over the county
4n, say twenty localities. We find
that this would place a $5,000 school
building in each of the twenty locali-
ties, and in most of our counties it
would place a good substantial school
building within five miles of each
student.
We now pay our rural teacher an
average of about $60 per month to
teach our school with eight grades
and from one to five in a grade, with
perhaps 25 recitations per day. Can
we expect much enthusiasm from a
school of this kind?
Now if we would solve the rural
life problem, give us the kind of a
school mentioned with a high school
course in connection to leave off |
| where the higher institutions begins.
We would then avoid sending John
i and Mary, inexperienced and unma-
tured in character, off to the city
where they would be subject to the
many temptations of city life. In- ,
stead we would have them under the
loving care of father and mother,
where they could assist with chores
and farm work. Many there would
be who would get a high school edu-
cation and a taste of the arts and
sciences who now never dream of
such a thing.
