In many of the small towns the high schools are classed lower than our school will be. Full and complete credit is what we shall have.

Those Eggs Darner brought us in a setting of eggs a few days ago, we had no hen to set on them and it seemed we could borrow none, so fearing thev would hatch and have no mother we concluded to destroy them by the process of cremation. They were fine large eggs, and an even dozen of them and it seemed too bad to des troy them, but the angel refused to stay in the ollice unless we preserved the eggs to prevent their hatching. Then, too, the oder of them almost had fangs.

We don't know what kind they were but Mr. Darner said he thought they would bring forth bull snakes. However, they were quite an attraction for a few hours. MOJWEy to Last Sunday was a good day at the Longford church. More than fifty people were in their places promptly on lime, ready to enjov helping the superintendent, and thus making themselves of special worth to the school.

Now let's nuke it seventy-live on time every time, and that will ke a good time for all. By i unanimous vote it was deckled to hold a Sunday School picnic on Wednesday, September 1. The various committees were appointed and we are all expecting a good lime. Much interest was manifested in the morning service. Tne Mission Band was good in Let it is always good.

FOX 3'ROTHE'RS, WILL HE BE? Will he be a conservative, useful man that barefoot boy of mine? Say, father, it's in a very great measure "up to you" whether he becomes a man of thrift or a "spendthrift." "It is hard for an old dog to learn new tricks" It is also hard for a man to be thrifty when he never formed the thrift habit. EVe the barefoot age is passed, teach the boy something of the worth of a pair of shoes. The maintenance of a Savings Account will help him in the School of Thrift.
