District 43. The following i my
report on the Benton County School
Fair: The Beeds were distributed
among the pupile, each pupil choos
ing the seeds he wishea to plant
The hoys chooaog the vegetable
eeeds while the girls choose mostly
flower seeds. Mu h interest has
been shown. in the work and if con
ditions are favorab:e I think their
display will be a creditable one,
considering the size of the school
and the age of the pupile.
Much eocouragement has been
given the pupils both at school and
at home, and 1 think the interest
will be stimulated by the parents
during the summer as they have
shown much interest in the work.
Tne school may not have a full ex
hibit, but expects to make a good
showing in individual work.

London Tit-Bits: ' Among the his
torical curiosities tj be teen at
Chatworth House, the residence of
the Duke of Devonshire, is a willow
tree that actually weeps, very oiten
to the personal discomfort of taoBe
beneath it.
To the casual observer it appears
just an ordinary willow, but on
close inspection it is seen to be art
fully artificial. It is made from a
metal to closely resemble a living
tree, and each of its branches is
covered with innumerable holes. In
fact, the whole tree is a monster
syringe, being connected to a water
maid near by.

The children are pleased with the
prospect of a pleasant time with
other ecbools and an opportunity of
comparing the hard work they are
doing wrth the work of other schools.
I think it is an added impetus to
the pupils and teacher as well as for
thoroughness in their work. Al
though the spring has been back

ly retarded, the eeeds distributed
to the schools, with many others,

of loam prepared by the children

Chicago, June 4. Chicago's ar

high prices which threat ns to force

been rising steadily for three weeks
