“AIN’T NATURE GRAND?’
A Michigan man recently paid the
sum of $50,000 for a strawberry plant
which he bought from an Iowa grower.
There’s a saying about nature being
grand, but that isn’t what made this
one strawberry plant worth .$.50,000
to the Michigan man, who declares he
got a rare bargain, though most Vass
citizens may promptly declare* he was
“stung.” Nature never produced a
fruit or vegetable worth that much
money until the brain of man got to
working and made possible its im
provement and development. Few of
the fruits or vegetables we eat today
were fit to eat until the brain of man
worked on them, and cultivated them.
It is so with all the things which na
ture has provided to sustain life.
Man has through his persistent work
in breeding larger and better varie
ties brought about varieties such as
the $50,000 strawberry plant. Na
ture is wonderful—but no more so
than the brain of man.

finest work of the community in
which they live, and they are entitl
ed to every honor and social recogni
tion that can be bestowed upon them.

PRETTY TEACHERS
Where is the Vass man or woman
who cannot remember the time* when
school teachers of the fair sex were
>seldom considered good-looking, and
who were always looked upon as old
maidish and bookish? It used to be
the case in a vast majority of cases
that this held good. But it’s different
now. For now the modern school
teacher has developed into a young
person whose charms considerably
agitate the male heart. Proof of this
is found in the rapid change that
takes place in school teaching forces.
Constantly the superintendents are
having to find new ones, since these
girls disappear so fast into the state
of matrimony. These girls do not
commonly marry the fashion plates
of the smart set, but they know
enough to pick solid and substantial
men.^ Many school teachers may say
this is an overdrawn picture, as they
lead quiet, hardworking lives in places
where they are not known and have
