SUNSHINE & MOONSHllE
Lecture Delivered by Rev. Pallister at
the Christian Church Greeted BY
a Large and Appreciative
Audience

Those who attended the lecture
at the Christian Church Friday
evening were entertained by a
rare treat. 1t was brot very forci-
bly, to their minds that Laugh
and the World Laughs with YOU
and There is Sunshine in my Soul
Today"
The reverend gentleman demon
etrated that there is no place in
the Twentieth Century for the pes
simist, and the Cheerful idiot" as
he so aptly termed him, was the
man of today.
We would hate to say that man
of his cloth had missed his calling
but we will say that the Lecture
Course has missed great deal by
not including him among it's many
attractions. For two hours were
we pleased, edited, entertained, in
structed and benefited. Those who
did not attend were losers.

Chou shalt" Parents there are
plain truths that confront us. I
tell you what you yourselves
do know. Our schools suffer as a
result. The children out of school
have an influence over the others
that is difficult to overcome.
Teachers must have full classes
and undivided attention to secure
creditable results. Attendance is
the parents part, not the teachers.
The most important thing for the
success of the schools and for the
good of your child is that of reg
ular and full term attendance. If
you want the best school possible
tor Extra bring about that condi-
ton this year. We will do our
part. We will pledge you our Gin
cerest efforts for the best interests
OF each individual child and that
OF the whole school.
1t ls our greatest desire to right
every wrong condition, as far as
possible, that hampers the good of
our schools. We are proud of our
little institution. Each year the
Board and Principal make every
improvement necessary to keep
80, oSAoOAS op-tO.udIc, anu give
the youths as good chance for
schooling as towns of even larger
size offer. For three years the
question of irregularity in attend.
ance has been a perplexing prob
lem.
This letter comes from a friend
that has the best interests of your
boys and girls at heart. We ask
you to take every word seriously,
and work in sympathy and cooper
alton with the teaching force that
this may be the most prosperous
school year Extra has had for
many years.
Most Sincerely Yours,
F. A. NIMs.

Did you ever meet girl with eyes
Ofblue perhaps, or Sreen,
Who has the fairest face and form,
You think that you have ever seen.
Who makes your heart beat faster
Than an auto engine goes,
And sends prickly feeling
From your hair down to your
toes
And makes the perspiration ooze
From every pore, because you
fear
Your collar may be dirty, or
Your necktie fastened on your
ear.-Ex.

And fish for suckers and for whales

wish?
Come, let us go and fish and fish.

time everyone was having. Light
and delicious refreshments were
served to the large number present
which were thoroughly enjoyed by
all. School days started Monday
of this week and Mr.. and Mrs.
Stranger thought that by inviting
a party of friends to their home, It
would be an incentive for Master
Harold to put forth his best effort
in school work, and we have no
doubt but that it will be SO.

The largest oyster in the world is
on exhibition in Minneapolis, or
rather the shells are on exhibition,
for the oyster was baked and eaten.
1t filled large oven and the meat
had to be cut with carving knife
and oyser steaks was the bill of fare.
The two huge shells are each about
as much as one can lift from the
floor. The oyster with the shells
weighed ninety eight and half
pounds. 1t was found in the mouth
of the Columbia River.
