up until we have struck coal and oil
too. l am satisfied" he continued,
that the Teton Basin contains oil and

put the hole down myself. There is
only one thing holding us back at pres

One day, when he was an old man,
little girl was brought to HIM He
looked at her tenderly. strt'ked her
long curls, and said:
MY child, may God mako This world
as beautiful to you as it ias been to

He had not been well for a long
time before his death When his old
friend the artist Flaxman, diczi. Blake
said:

not think of death as more than going

A little mre than a year after that

School closed Friday, April "a.
Beulah Brainard entertained the sixth
and seventh grades one evening last
week.
Edna Holcomb, who has ranked high
IN her class all year, left Thursday for
her future home, Red Bluff, California.
She was one of our very best pupils.
The teachers and pupils of the lower
grades rendered very enjoyable pro
gram in their respective rooms Friday
afternoon.
The teachers and pupils all felt re-
lieved when the examinations were
over.
Jean Baker ranked first in the eighth
for the term, Mary Baker first in the
seventh, and Maggie Costley first in the
sixth There has been quite bit of
rivalry for first place in these three
grades, and these girls may we'll feel
proud Of their success as they are among
the youngest in their classes Jean
Baker also made the highest grades that
were made in the county on the state
examination, her average being "a 80

ton in order of rank are Jean Baker,

The Examination.
The eighth grade was to take examination;
But Oh How tlmid all the pupils were,
But as This would be followed by vacation,
Each one resolved to undertake and bear.
At first we thought our victory was sure
But Mr.. Bevins told us to beware
That we into trap they would try to lure,
For puzzling questions would be there
Al first his counsel we did not try to heed,
But merely laughed and made the matter
light
Until some list Of questions he did read,
When, to our sorrow, we found thst he was
right
Our first days tedious work at last, was done
And we retired home both sad and weary
We tried to think our victory was won
But still our road to victory seemed dreary.
At last our arduous TASK was finished
And the unhappy time was drawing near,
But our courage was much diminished
AS we waited our grades to hear
But our fears at last were cast away
When our teachers voice we heard once
more
saying, 1.-THE victory you have won today
All your doubts and fretting should be o'er.''
AT first our hearts were filled with doubt and
dread,
That was before the hard examination,
But now that we've come out far ahead
We're going to enjoy our long vac alton.

To Kill GraSShOpperS.

The following report is given out 10y
G. B. Simpson, of the Agricultural de-
partment:
Flowing the area in the fall where
eggs are laid will cause many of the
exposed eggs to be killed during the
winter or the young locusts will be un
able to get to the surface of the ground
when they hatch III the spring. At best
this measure is incomplete. After hatch
ing they may be trapped by digging
trenches around the colony and killed
after they have fallen in.
Spraying with oil and burning has
been found very efficient. Hopper
dozers, or long shallow pans, containing
water upon which is a film of kerosene,
can be drawn over the ground and the
young locusts jump in and are killed.
Poisoned bran has often been used
against these insects but recently DR..
Fletcher of the Ontario department Of
agriculture. Canada, reports that fresh
horse droppings can be substituted fo1
the bran. The following formula is
given: One pound of Paris Green and
two pounds of salt mixed with about 6(
pounds of horse droppings. The mix
tnre is scattered broadcast by means o.
paddle or trowel and may be uset
when the locusts are young, or it il
found that fields can be protected b,
scattering it around the edges of th'
field. Excellent results have been OBJ
tanned by the use of this mixture il
Manitoba.
"When the insects have obtained
wings all measures. but this poisone'
bait, are of no avail and nothing can b
done to destroy them until the follow
ing fall"
