The public school of Leavenworth
has been closed for the past three
weeks on account of diphthera.
Three children from one family
had attended school after having
this dreaded malady in the stage w.ren
it is considered contagious. There is
something wrong somewhere. The
school law does not intend that the
schools should be closed, but it does
make provision for keeping children
who have been exposed to any contag-
eous or infectious disease out of school.
Whose business is it to look after the
interests of the public schoolsp Exper-
fence has shown that the spread of dis
ease is very often traced to the schools
where children are crowded in warm
rooms

ing after the drug store which he will

The farmers and orcbardists, of Pc
shastin, our thriving and prosperous
suburban burg, are each y~2r adding
more cultivated land to their farms and
setting out more fruit trees. Neat and
handsome cottages dot the valley and
hillsides and the sight is one of natures
beauties. While small fruit and pro-
duce of all kinds are grown in abun-
ance, the orchardists realize that it is
to their best interests and bank accounts
to raise winter apples and many are
making a speciality of that fruit, and in
! SO doing are making no mistake.
While little is heard of this prosperous
community, yet it is coming to the front
right along with the procession of pros
perity. The big red apple grows big
ger and more plentiful each succeeding
year. Three sawmllls supply material
for building those pretty cottages that
may be seen from the passing trains.
Blessed with sturdy substantial, brainy
progressive citizens and pretty girls,
