Wheat stacking and -laying by

farmers this week. All. seem to be
working the children pretty lively
as the school will soon open, and
wehave a compulsory school system
to enforce this year. This system
rigidly enforced will mean much to
the children, this law is intended
to aid thj parents in keeping theii
children in school, parents should
not keep their other children out of.
school, to fill the places of those
children, to whom the law applies
as to age, but should keep the older
children in school from tha fact
that they have shorten time in the
public schools, and therefore need
the opportunity of going to school
worse than the younger children.
In my judgement the law would
have accomplished far better re
sults, had it applied to children
from 12 to 18 years of age. This
is a peroid of a childs life, when

GUNPOWDER VICTIMS FEW ON 4TH.
New York, July 5. While the
movement for safety and sanity in
the celebration of the Fourth of
July worked wonders in the reduc
tion of the number of victims of
gunpowder dispatches from a score
of different points throughout the
country, as noted here, accounts for
41 persons killed in a variety of
other accidents incident to the out
pouring of the holidays crowds.
Twenty-eight persons were drown
ed, five persons were killed in auto
mobile accidents, five in a single
train accident and two killed in
aeronautic sports. This count, be
ing made from the comparatively
few reports of minor tragedies filter

news, outnumbers more thari twice
