CHAPTER VII— Continued
Newton explained for the tenth Ime
- that Jim had done so many things thut
no tencher was supposed to do and
had left undone so many things thut
teachers were bound by custom to
perform that Newton's father and Mr
Bonner and Mr Peterson hud made
up their minds that they would call
upon him to resign and If be wouldn’t
they would “turn him out" In some
way
“WhnJ wrong's he done committed?”
nsked Raymond “I don’t know what
teachers air -supposed to do in this
kentry but Mr- Jim seems fo be the
only shore-enough teacher I ever see I
“He don’t teach out of the -books
the school ’ board adopted" replied
Newton
“But he - makes up" better lessons"
urged Raymond-' “An’ all the things
we dp In school lie’ps us make a
livin’” V ’
"He begins at eight In the momln'"
said Newton "an' he has some of us
there till half past five and comes
buck lnthe evening j And every Sat-
urday some of the kids are doin’
something at the schoolhouse”
—“They don’t pay him for overtime
do they?” queried Raymond "Well
then' they orto instld of turnin' him
out!"
“Well they’ll turn him out I” prophe-
sied Newton “I’m bavin' more Jun
In school than I ever — an’ that’s why
I'm with you on this qulttln' trapping
—but they’ll get Jim all right I”
"I’m having something betteh’n
fun" replied Raymond “My pap has
never understood this kentry an’' we-
all has had bad times hyeh but Mr
Jim an’ I have studied out how I can
make a betteh livin’ next year — and
pap snys’we kin go on the way Mr
Jim says I’ll work for Colonel Wood-
ruff a part of the time an' pap kin
make corn in the biggest Held It
seems we didn't do our work right last
year — an’ In a couple of years with'
the Increase 6t ' the hawgs an' the
Innd we kin get under plow
It wns still an hour before nine —
: when the rural school traditionally
"takes up” — when the boys had stored
their traps In a shed at the Bronson
home and walked on to the school-
house That rather scabby and weath-
ered edifice was already humming
with industry of a sort In spite of
the hostility of the school board and
the aloofness ofthe pafrons of the
school the pupils were cl en rjy Inter?
ested in Jim Irwin’s system -of rthral
education Never had the attendance
been so large or regular and one of
the reasons for sessions before nine
and after four was the Inability of the
teacher to attend to the needs of his
- charges In the five and a half hours
called “school hours” ” — - r "
The day pa&sed Four’o'clock came
In order that all might reach home
for supper there was no- staying ex-
cept that Newt Bronson and Raymond
Simms remained to sweep ’ and dust
the schoolroom and prepare kindling
for ' the next morning's Are — a work
they had taken upon themselves so as
to enable the tencher to put on the
blackboards such outlines for the mor-
row’s Class 'work as might be required
Jlne was writing on the board a list
of words constituting s spelling exer-
cise They were not from textbooks
hut grew naturally out of the study of
the seed wheat — “cockle” "morning-
glory" “convolvulus" - "viable” "via-
bility” “sprouting” “Iron-weed” and
the like A tap was heard at the door
and Raymond Simms opened It i
In filed three women — and Jim Ir-
win knew as he looked at them that
he was greeting a deputation and felt
that It meant atruggle For they
were the wives of the tnpmbers of the
school board He pluced for them the
three available chalra and In the ab-
sence of any for himself remained
standing before them a gaunt shabby-
' looking revolutionist at the bnr of
settled usage and fixed public opinion
Mrs Haakon Peterson was a tull
blonde woman alow-apoken and dig'
nlfied and 'Jim felt an Instinctive re
spect for her personality Mrs Bron-
son was good motherly woman
noted for her housekeeping and for
her church activities She looked
nftener at her son and his friend
Raymond than at the schoolmaster
Mrs Bonner was the only one who
shook hands with Jim but he sensed
In the little black-eyed Irishwoman
the real commander of the expedition
against him — for such he knew It to
be i
"Ton may think ' It strange of us
coming after hours” said mie "but
we wanted to speak to you teacher
without the children here” '
"I wish more of tho parents would
call” said J Im "At any hour of tha
day”
“Or night either 1 dare say” sug-
gested Mrs Bonner "I hear you've
the scholars here at all hours Jim”
Jim smiled hts slow patient smile
“We do break the union rifles I
guess Mrs Bonner" said he “there
seems to be more to do than wo can
get done during school hours”
- "What wo cam for Mr Irwin Is
to object to the way the teechln'a
being done— corn and wheat and hoge
end the like Instead of the learnln'
School w-aa made to teqeh I can as
in’ the whole district can see that It’s
easier for a man that's been a farm-
hand to tench' farm-hand knowledge
than the learnln’ schools was set up
to teach but If so be he hasn't the
book education to do the right thing
we think he should get out and give
a real teacher a chance” v
“What am I neglecting?" asked Jim
mildly
Mrs Bonner seemed unprepared for
the question and sat for an Instant
mute Mrs I’eterson Interposed her
attack while Mrs Bonner might be re-
covering her wind - v
“We people thut have had a hard
time” she snld in a precise way which
seemed to show thut she knew exactly
what she' wanted “don’t' want our
children taught about nothing but
work We want our children to learn
nice things and go to high school and
after a while to the JunlwersItK”
“Aren’t your children happy - In
school Mrs Peterson?”
“I don’t send them to school to be
happy Yim” 'replied Mrs Peterson
calling him by the-name most ' funiil-
lurly known to ull of them "I send
them to'learn to be higher people than
their father and mother Thut’S- what
America means I”
‘‘They’ll be higher people — higher
than their parents — higher than their
teacher — they’ll be efficient farmers
and efficient farmers’ wives They’ll
be happy because they will know how
to use more brains In farming than
any lawyer or doctor or merchant can
possibly -use In his business” -
“It’s a fine thing” said Mrs Bonner
coming to the aid of her fellow sol-
diers “to work hard for a lifetime an’
raise nothing but a family of farmers 1
A fine thing!”
- "They will be farmers anyhow”
cried Jim “In spite 0f your efforts—
ninety out of every hundred of them !
And of the other ten nine will be
wage-earners In the cities and wish to
God they were back on the farm and
the hundredth one will succeed Id the
city”
' The guns of Mrs Bonner and Mrs
Peterson were silenced for a moment
and Mrs Bronson after gazing about
“We Object to the Way the Teachln’s
Being Done"
at the typewriter the - hecktograph
the exhibits of weed seeds the Bab-
cock milk tester and the other un-
scholastic equipment pointed to the
list of words and the arithmetic
problems on the board
Do you get them words from the
speller?” she asked v
Wo" said he “we get them from a
lesson on seed wheat” '
“Did them examples come out of an
arithmetic book?" cross-examined she
"No" said Jim “we used problems
we made ourselves We were figuring
profits and losses on your cowa Mrs
Bronson !’’
“Ezra Bronson" said Mrs Bronson
loftily “don’t need any helD In telling
what’s s good cow lie was farming
before you was born 1”
“Like fun he don’t need help! He’s
going to dry old Cherry off and fat-
ten her for beef and he can make
more money on the cream by beefing
about three more of ’em The Bab-
cock test shows they’re Just boarding
on us without paying their board 1”
The delegation of matrons ’ ruffled
like a group of startled hens at this
interposition which was Newton
Bronson's effective seizing of the op- J
portunlty to Issue a progress bulletin
In the research work on the Bronson
dairy herd
"Newton!” said his mother' "don’t
Interrupt me when I'm tulking to the
tencher!”
“Well then” said Newton “don’t
tell the teacher that pa knew wlilch
cows were good and which were poor
If any one In this district wants to
know about their cows they'll have to
come to this shop And I can tell you
that It’ll pay ’em to come too If
they're going to make nnvthlng selling
cream Walt until we get out our re-
ports on the herds mt 1“
The women were rather stampeded
by this onslaught of the Irregular
troops — especially Mrs Bronson She
felt a flutter of pride In her son but
It was strongly mingled with a moth-
erly desire to spank him The depu-

“Cows!" scoffed Mrs' Peterson "If
we leove you in this yob Mr Irwin
our children will know nothing but
cows and hens and soils and grains—
and where wilt the culture come In?”
"Culture!” exclaimed Jim “Why-
why after ten years of the sort -of
school I would give you if I were a
better teacher and could have my
way—’ " - '
“Don’t bother Jim" said Mrs Bon-
ner sneerlngly “you' won’t he teaching
the Woodruff school that long”
All this time the dark-faced Cracker
had been glooming from a
earnestly seeking to fathom the wrong-
ness he sensed In the gathering Now
he came forward
"I reckon I may be making a mis-
take to suy anything” said be ”fr

“Whut do you mean?” asked Mrs
Peterson -
“I mean”' said Raymond “that
when Mr Jim began talking school to
us we was a pore no-’count lot with-
out any learnln’ with nothin’ to talk
about except -our wrongs an’ our one-

CHAPTER VIII
Jennie Arranges a Christmae Party
Miss Jennie Woodruff of the Wood-
ruff district was a sensible countiy
girl Being sensible 'she tried to
avoid uppishness But she did feel
some little sense of increased impor-
tance as she drove her father’s little
runabout over the smooth earth roads
In the crisp December weather Just
before Clirjptmns The weather Itself
was stimulating and In the little enr
visiting the one hundred or more rural
schools soon to come under her super-
vision she rather fancied the picture
of herself clothed In more or less au-
thority and queening It ever her little
army of teachers
- Mr Haakon Peterson was phlegmat-
ically conscious that she made rather
on agreeable picture as she stopped
her car alongside his top buggy to talk
with him She had bright blue eyes
fluffy brown hair a complexion
whipped pink by the breeze and she
smiled at him Ingratiatingly
“Don’t you think father ts lovely?”
snld she “lie Is going to let me Use
the runabout when I visit the schools”
“That will be- good” said Haakon
“It will save you lota of time I hope
you make the county pay for the gaso-
line” '
' “I haven’t thought about that” said
Jennie “Everybody’s’ been so nice to
me — I wnnt to give as well ns receive"
“Why" said Haakon “you will yust
begin to receive when your salary lie-
gins In Yunuary
“Oh no!’’ said Jennie “I’ve re-
ceived much more than that nowj You
don’t know how proud I feel So many
nice men I never knew before and all
my old friends like you working for
nie In the convention and at the polls
Just as If I amounted to something'
“And you don’t know how proud I
feel” suld Haakon “to have la county
ofilce a little girl I used to hold on my
lap”
Haakon was a rather richer man
than the colonel and not a little proud
of his ascent to affluence A mild-
spoken soft-voiced Scandinavian he
was quite completely Americanized
and his Influence was always worth
fifty to sixty Scandinavian votes in
any county election He was a good
party man and conscious of being en-
titled to his voice In party matters
This seemed to him an opportunity for
exerting a bit of political Influence
“Yennle" said he “this man Ylm
Irwin needs to be lined up”
“Lined up! What do you mean?”
“The way he Is doing In the
school” said Haakon “is all wrong
If you can't line him up he will make
you trouhll We must look ahead
Everybody has his friends and Ylm
Irwin has his friends If you have
trouble with him his friends will he
against you when we want to nom-
inate you for a second term The
county is getting close If we go tc
eon went Ion without your home delega-
tion It would weaken you and If we
nominate you every piece of trouble
like this cuts down your wote You
ought to line hbn up and have him do
right”
“But he Is so funny” said Jennie
“He likes you" said Haakon "You
can line him up”
“I guess that's so
eysd reformer”

Good Supply of Ice in
- Summer Big Investment
Nothing adds more to comfort in
bot weather than a good supply of
Ice ' In dairy farming It is an Invest-
ment that pays a goodreturn In the
corner : amount of produce that It saves from
siMillIng Moreover ice Is winter's
only crop and It may be had for the
harvesting'
The Icehouse shown Is nude by the
use of silo forms Three doors allow
the Ice to be stored or- removed with
a small amount of lifting"
If silo forms are obtainable It takea
surprisingly small amount of mate-
rial to build aorh an icehouse and It
Icehouse on Dairy Farm ln Northern

with no danger-of fire as in houses

Increase Productiveness
of Herd by Better Sires
- Keeping books with yonr cows Is
the only sure way to build a -herd of
high producers 'By selecting cows on
tlielr records discarding the unprofit-
able ones using only good pure bred I
sires and raising heifer calves from
the best cows one Is sure to Increase
the productiveness of the herd
It Is also advisable to weigh each
milking because It enables one to feed J
Intelligently and If sickness neglect
or abuse has caused a cow to drop In
milk a remedy may be applied before
the loss becomes serious
Weighing mllkV creates Interest
among the milkers ' and encourages
clean milking and careful treatment
of the cows -
The greatest source of loss to the
dulry Industry Is the unprofitable cow -A
certain cheese factory paid one of
Its patrons $877 for the product of
eight cows while It gave another
patron $808 for the milk from 22 cow
it pays to keep records
Ropiness in Milk Caused
by Growth of Bacteria I
A ropy or slimy ' condition of milk
sometimes noticeable after the milk
lias stood several hours Is caused by
the growth of a certain class of bac-
teria which guln ' entrance after the
milk Is drawn
Though pwbably not more Injurious
than ordinary sour milk this condi-
tion Is especially troublesome 'as the
bncterla are passed along through ves-
sels nhd otherwise to other milk and
even to the'dulrles of an entire com-
munity The remedy Is thorough washing and
sterilizing of everything that In any
way mines In contact with the milk
Chlorinated lime or blenching powder
nt the rate of 12 or 10 ounces to the
100 gallons of water Is recommended
by the dnlry department of Ihe Ohio

Fairy Tale
GRAHAM BONNER
IN MANY HOMES
Peter -Gnome put an hla - Invisible
robs which as you know Is f cow
tume he has - When he wears It h
cannot be seen -by human eyes
' After Peter Gnome had put on this
robs ho said to tho other gnomes
”1 am going stalling today" '
They were all very much Interest-
ed for Pater Gnome had such a big
calling list tltt no one knew where
ha -might be going a-calllng next and
It was always such fun to bear '
' “Are you going galling on girls or
boys or both?” they asked-'
" “Or are you'golng calling on grown
ups?" they added -
- “Oh perhaps" suggested qno gnome
"you’re going toaee some anlmals or
some of Mother- Nature's'' children
“Do tell us Peter Qnome" '
“I will" said Peter JSnome' -v
Then as Peter Gnome finished the
last touches upon hts costume he be-
gan: ’Tbi going a-calling on many
people and I’tn going to many homes
I have been talking lately to tho Fairy
Wondrous Secrets and she has been
doing np some secrets for us I an
going to ‘take some of those- srdund
with me as I go a-calllng
'' “I don’t know how many will want
packages of secrets ' Some may not
need' to be told any secrets ’- Some
may know' them without being told
them by me Ah yea some may a’l
ready know the secrets I have to taka
around” ' -“Well
Peter Gnome" said the other
gnomes “we shall let you ' go now
for the sooner you go the sooner will
you be back We are eager to hear
what your secrets areto be which you
are to give 'to the people In these
homes you are going to visit
“But we will not keep you by ask-
ing questions We see you are ready 1
Good-by Peter Gnome Good luck
and may you be back soon I”
“Good-by" cried Peter- Gnome as
he started off carrying within hla In-
visible robe a big bundle In which were
the packages ef secrets which had
been wrapped np by the Fairy Won-
drous Secrets and those who worked
with her -
- Peter Gnome had quite a way to
go but he did not mind ' - He was
eager for the Journey as he ' Uked
traveling- and 1)6 wondered about the
visits he would have -At last he ar
slved at the first home he had planned
to visit’ -
You see Peter Gnome bed once been
hurrying over city In his magic air-
ship when he noticed all the hundreds
and thousands of apartment houses
each of which held so many homes
“I’d like to go and sea the people
In all those homes” he said "or at
least as many of them as I could
There are so many many homes and
It does seem -so strange to think of
all the people living Jn them
v “Each apartment meant a family—
oh how many families there' are I It
'doesn’t seem as though I could believe
there were that many unless I a
for myself" " ' r ' '
-‘ And so this visit of Peter Gnome’s
had been planned and as he was plan-
ning It be talked to the Fairy Won-
drous Secrets and -together they ar-
8he Had Bean Doing Up 8omo S versts
ranged to have packages done up
which would tell families the secrets
of happiness the delight and the fuu
and the merriment and the games and
the thoughtful little acts and all the
nice things which could happeq with-
in a family
Peter - Gnome visited apartment
a ctet uuuiuu Tiaitvu nttriiucm
home after apartment home this day
In the big city and where he heard
laughter- and saw unselfishness and
aaw how much fun some knewhow
to ‘ have In so many wonderful and
countless little ways ha did not leave
any packages of secrets For in these
home they understood such secrets
But where there was quarreling
where families did not seem to be
able to enjoy each other where they
were always thinking that happiness
cams from outside and from others
and that It was not worth while to
try to make each other happy In those
homes Peter Gnome dropped packages
which opened aa they fell and which
filled tha air with secrets of happi-
ness i
And that night when Peter Gnome
waiter
I "Ha
shout his visits he sald "Happy fam
llles have auch a good time that It
does seem auch a pity that families
should quarrel and -should keep from
praising each other and should not
be affectionate and kind for-they miss
so' trtuch this way But I think the
secret package are going to change
