kind of a misunderstanding with one
of his mules one day last week and
wherefore Mr. T. proceeded to mount
so as to be in better position 6 have
his orders or desires carried out, but
just at the twinkling of the eye his
muleship seriously objected to his
master's mount and therefore, before
before a compromise could be made
Mr. T. found himself 10 or 15 parts of
a hundred feet from Mr. Mule with a
very painful and serious experience,
a collar bone broken. At this time he
is getting along nicely.
Judging from the amount of build
ing material that is being hauled up
the mountain there is something do
ing up there. You had better keep
your eye on these mountain people.
High prices and high cost of living
don't affect them much, they are just
living higher than other folks by
several hundred feet. ,

We have been informed that a num
ber of our young folks are contem
v plating leaving Polk county to attend
... school this year. Don't do it unless
you are going to the State University
or some similar institution. Profit by
the experience of others and attend
our County High School. . We have
been reliably informed that there are
some parties who left Polk thinking
they were attending a better school
and would have no trouble in getting
State certificates to teach, but upon
application for state certificate were
told that they had not been attending
an accredited school and consequently
could not be granted a state certifi
cate. On the other hand, graduates
of our County High School are grant
ed state certificates. The difference
is this. By leaving your county you
are put to more expense, and if you
wish to teach school you can only get
$40 per month, insterd of $65 you
would receive had you attended your
County High School. Is the pleasure
of going off to school worth the differ
ence? We think not.
