Color Line in Country School. Prof. W. E. Veercamp, county supervisor of echools, returned home | last night from Harrison township where he was called to settle an un- usual matter.

The problem wasa very dif ficult one to solve, but the county supervisor found a solution.

The Nation’s Problem. In a startling article on “The In- crease of Lawlessness in the United States.””S.S McClure, in McClure’s Magazine for December, shows that the percentage of murders in this country is larger than in any other civilized nation except Russia. Facing the problem of prevailing lawlessness, he writes: ‘It is easy to generalize and to turn your back and say, ‘I am an optimist,’ or ‘after all, this is the best country in the world.’ Buta man ie not necessari- ly an optimist who, if his house is on fire, refuses to look and says, ‘I am an optimist, I don’t believe its on fire after all.’ Nor should we take all the credit for the enormous na- tural wealth of this great new con- tinent—this wealth of soil and forest and miue that this people inherited inaday. We have the great task of digesting this enormous wealth, of making a great and law-abiding people,” If you want to get good oata for seed, you will find them at the Peo. ples Elevator.
