Dancing in school Honses

Mrs. Buxton, county superintend.
ent of schools, calls the attention of
school directors to Section 40 of the
school law, defining the powers and
duties OF directors, and especially to
the 18th subdivision OF that section
which provides that Every board of
directors, unless otherwise especially
provided by law, shall have power.
and it shall be their duty, to author
ize the school room to be used for
summer or night schools, literary.
scientific, religious, political, mechan-
ical or agricultural societies, under
such rules as the board of directors
shall adopt"
She adds futher that: SIT is a
general rule of law in respect to the
construction of statute, that where
certain things are specifically men,
toned, everything else is excluded
by implication, and this section is
therefore of interest in its bearing
upon the use of the school house for
the purpose of dancing. 1t clearly
places upon all school boards the
duty of forbidding the use of the
school house for such purpose"

Best Cough Medicine for Children

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but cures.
You want one that is PROFESSIONALLY
harmless. You want one that is pleasant
to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
meets all these conditions. There is moth
ing so good for the coughs and colds Incl
dent to childhood. 1t is also a certain
preventive and cure for Group, and there
is no danger whatever from whooping
cough when it is given. 1t has been used
in many epidemics of that disease with
perfect success.

The fiscal year 1900 was the ban
ner year in exports of manufactures
from the United States, but from
present indications the fiscal year
1904 will show an even larger total
of manufactures exported. The
month of February shows total OF
$38, 600, 900 worth of manufactures
exported, against $34, 900, 900 in 1900,
while for the eight months ending

Mr.. Irwin is not the only candidate.
Mr., Wynn, who has for q number of

equivalent to election. Mr.. Irwin and

Friday Harbor is certainly to be
congratulated upon her wireless tel
egraph station. A message was re-
ceived IN this city Monday, by the
Western Union, twenty minutes after
it had been sent to Port Town
send. 1t is now almost certain that
Anacortes will have a wireless tele-
graph station to commune with FRI
day Harbor. This, together with
the daily boat service which we are
shortly to give the people of that
community, viii put the two cities on
friendly terms and make them the
kind of neighbors they should be.
What Friday Harbor should have,
besides Il daily boat, is telephone
connections with the outside world,
and all Anacortes should boost for it
until she gets good service in that
line. -Anacortes American.
