BelvePs paper, the Poik County. Democrat, which has been published at Valley Junction, teen moved to Des Moines, and will be published in that city hereafter. The normal school bill was defeated in the Iowa house last Friday by a vote of 47 to 46. This will probably end tiie matter of more normal schools being established by this legislature. Tomorrow is Washington's Hrthday.

It is also Flag Day in Iowa, and the 'state superintendent of schools has asked the schools of the state to unite with the Grand Army of the Republic ID observing the day. The Iowa house has passed- the Santee bill raising the. Governor's salary to also allowing him S5UO for Ms membership in the executive council and $600 rent, making a total compensation The Monroe county papers have been having a good deal of fun discussing probability of consolidating the four eounties-of Lucas, Monroe, and Appanoose. The Union suggests that the new county be called "Ap-Lu Wa-Mon." and the Melrose iteeord puts in a bid for the county seat for that town. We notice by the West Liberty Index that Charles Chase and E.

Haldeman purchased a stock of furniture.and will conduct the business at that place- Mr. Chase was at one time in employ of Mr. Ha3deman4n his eraamery at this place, and has a large number acquaintances here. He will likely manage the business at West Liberty, as Mr. Haldeman has large business interests elsewhere.

The impression which has prevailed with many throughout the country that the high prices of building material would prevent a improvements, seems to be a nristaken idea. Builders say. the prices have been as high before, and had very little effect on themareh of improvement- In fact, about as many buildings and. improvements are under contemplation this year, as is usual this early in the season. You say it does riot pay to take the home papei-.

Perhaps it don't. It does by 125,000 cases. Iowa can raise corn more cheaply than any other state. It one of Iowa's best believe that the demand for canned corn has never been fully 5 According to the calendar spring will soon be iiere. Of course the zero weather of the past few days is a little discouraging, but most of us still have faith in the calendar, which says that spring will begin in March." That is only ten days in the uture.and we may forward eagerly, to the days when we can hear the little song birds in the leafy free top and go daisy hunt-, ing on the hillside.

It more than likely that the calendar and the weather Trent- bileh, but- the fault of the calend-tr. We will likely go on bundling UD and talking about the lovely winter weather for a. month yet, when we know that it ought to be soring. But we. can now expect balmy weather to arrive time, for it is scheduled to be here in a few SCHOOL REPORT, Huiceston PubJfc School- January 1930.

He represents 'the typical old-school gentlemen. He looks back over a life well spent. He has discharged every duty in life with and honesty.

From Jboyljood he has been industrious, sober and provident. These elements have given him an abundance of worldly goods, and he enjoys the confidence of all who know him. It has been our we are- proud of the fact. He has raised a. splendid family of boysT'ancI girls, he taught them the lessons of thrift, and inculcated ideas, of justice and right--then he gave them each a good start when they went from the parental roof to fight the battles of life.
