The “Single Tree” Bird. “Jay ENNEBS '? I hear a sweet note in the distance ?Tia a question; how far or how wear, But I recognize that quaint-liken strain The moment it comes to my ear For it is preuliar unto the elnger, And sweet as ever was heard Although but three notes of the gamut Are used by this singular bird Trilling! Trilling! His notes of three— “*Single tree ’’ ‘‘Single tree.’” Oh! don’t you hear bim calling? ’Tis the song of the single-tree bird. Though most of the feathered eongsters; ‘That enchant; while the honey bee hums *Midet flowers of spring-time and summer; Desert us, when the firs: cold comes; But not co with this little fellow, *Throngh for snowstorms his notes are de- ferred, For on any fine day in winter You can hear the ‘‘slogle-tree’’ bird Trilling! Trilling! His notes of thre “*Single tree.’’ ‘‘Single tree.’’ Oh! don’t you hear him calling, Tis the song of the ‘‘single-tree’’ bird. Ob! I prize him for hie music And that, he’s as modest and shy as can be: For | only can hear him singing From hia mystio retreat in the tree. Ch! there’s witchery in his calling; So phantom like and weird, As it rhymes with omens of spring: time; Best told by this eeer of a bird Trilling! Trilling! His notes of three **Single tree.’’ ‘Single tree.’” Ob! don’t you hear him calling? ’Tis the song of the ‘‘single-tree’’ bird. Oh! I know, he’s a poem, in feathers ’Though hia furm I never can see And I bow at the ehrine of bis comradeship For sharing the cold winters with me. Then he’s here the Apr 1 flowers to greet And welcomes summer with glorious sound He chants the requiem of autumn leaves Aye he’s ajoy the whole year round i Trilling! Trilling! His nates of three “*gingle tree.’? ‘'Single tree ’? Oh! don’t you hear him calling! ’Tia the song ot the ‘‘single tree’’ bird. BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS By Supt P. M, Alli.on. The first school visited this week was Valley in Deep Watertwp. The attendance was light on that day on account of the weather being so very different from what it had been. The} pupils made a very good showing | on the test. Miss Minnie Christie is| teacher and is doing fine§{work and, | best of all, her patrons appreciate her | efforts. | Cherry Grove was not very full in| attendance, but those present are gen- | erally very willing workers. This school is anxious to be placed on the approved list, but they have not com- plied with the library law. Mr. J.C. Maxey is teacher as is satisfying all concerned. Willow Tree has just Held a pie} make more money than ever. They | the members of the irrigation com- supper and have some money they | have done much for their school along | mittee on a trip to the west to investi- are anxious to spend, if they can find some one who is ready to furnish them with the supplies they wish. It seems that this might be a profitable line of goods for some one to handle, if they can compete with foreign con- cerns. I have sent out orders to the the amount of $400 or more, and many teachers make up their own ‘ard they are going to try the Tygard | Pathfinder Dam on Sept. 7, 1910, the orders.

Miss Lydia Rexroad jis teacher and satisfying all her pa- trons. ‘ Edwards has the third largest en- |roilment of rural schools, being sur- |passed by Harmony in Shawnee and |Concord in Elkhart. This is another | one of our good school buildings, and they are going to put ina new slate | blackboard with a part of the pro- iceeds ofa box supper. This is the |third school to be approved by the ;state superintendent. Miss Millie Cole is teacher as is doing fine work for them as she always does. Smoky Row has not quite so fine a | building as some but they make up | for this shortage ingood work. They lare going to have a better building ;next year and of course will continue to work well then too. Mr. W. F. | Cax is teacher and is one of the best in the county. McKinley has a light attendance due | to sickness. This is a good building | and a good school too. Miss Iva Dale | is teacher and was last year. Her| ; work is very satisfactory to all con- jcerned. This is the only school that Crawford is another good building and they are getting it well equipped with the proceeds of a box supper, These pupils made a good showing on the test and are very willing work- ers. They will likely have several | graduates. Mrs. C. C. Woods is WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Washington Correspond- ent of The Times. Washington, Jan. 9.—Some of the reasons why the cost of running the government is increasing so fast, and why it should really be possible for Senator Aldrich to save the people a {lot of money if he would run the | government as a business man would run it, are revealed in. the report of Secretary of the State Bennett for the fiscal year 1910. Vice President James S. Sherman drew on the people for $7,000 to maintain a touring car. He kept ;track of every puncture during the |year, and saw to it that the people stood the damage. It might be pre- sumed that after the government had presented the vice president with a | handsome car, the man of the sunny Yisposition would at least insist upon providing the driver. Mr. ‘Sherman, however, not only charged the chaffeur’s salary up to the people, but permitted the taxpayers to reimburse him for the auto driver’s railroad fare |back and forth between’ Washington and Utica, N. Y., Mr. Sherman’s home town. But this isn’t all. The Vice President made the people even pay for his chaffeur’s ‘“‘coat and pants.’’ (See page 702 of report.) Guggenheim Needs the Money.

These pupils are| going to do some special work in| grammar for me. | Tygard is one of our wideawake| schools and the pupils are ready for a| spelling contest or anything along the \line of school work. They are going | to do special work in grammar, too. This school will. have séveral grad- | uates.

The report intimates that when Sen- ator Tom Carter of Montana escorted gate irrigation projects, the party traveled like kings, using private {diners, drawing rooms, and tipping the porters and attendants every- where with a lavish hand—always, of course, with the people’s money, For a two days’ side trip in three automobiles from Casper, Wyo., to Montana senator spent $150 for trans- portation alone.

It is hoped the senators who are} making such a courageous fight} against the adoption of the Lorimer report will guide proceedings in the! senate so that the resolution providing | for a constitutional amendment to! elect senators by a direct vote may | be brought before the senate while; the Lorimer case is pending, so that! both may be discussed at the same| time and the bearing of one upon the | count of sickness and bad weather. other clearly demonstrated. Nothing | could more forcibly illustrate the. need of direct elections of senators than the corruption and jugglery which gave Boss Lorimer his seat.
