OREGON DAIRYMEN
At Ashland December ll-l2-Jose.
phine County Should Have
Big Delegation.

~ VI tut
gon State Dairymen's Association will
be held in Ashland December 11th.
18th. The matter was brought before
the executive committee of the Com
mercial Club by d. Perozzi of the
Ashland Creamery, the secretary of
the State Association, f. L. Kent,
having written Mr.. Perrozzi letter
outlining the meeting and making
suggestions in regard to the same.
From this letter it would appear
that on the first day there would be
afternoon and evening sessions and on
the second day morning and after
noon sessions. The secretary antici-
pates an attendance Of 200 delegates
and suggested that papers on local
subjects be prepared, one on" Southern
Oregon Dairy Foods" and jackson
County Cow Census. - Also the mat
ter Of music.
The following committees were
appointed:
Reception committee: e. d. Briggs,

Music-C. W. Minis, f. R. Neil. d.
B. Grant.
Badges-D. Perozzi.
This will be the first state conven-
tion of the Oregon Dairy men 8 Asso-
citation ever held in Southern Oregon
and Ashland feels proud of the fact
that the representatives and leaders
Of such an important and useful in.
dustry should honor this place with
their annual convention, especially
as 1t is located SO far away from the
place of residence of the largest body
Of its delegates and the matter of car
fare Is considerable of an item. From
the manner in which the Commercial
Club took hold of the matter the
citizens of Ashland can feel cure that
the reception will be one that will
redound to the credit Of the city and
impress the delegates that Ashland
appreciates their visit. Record.
The annual meetings of the State
Dairy Association are largely attended
and this meeting at Ashland promises
to be no exception to the rule and
many leading dairymen from all sec
tions of the state will be present.
The program for the two days will
embrace addresses by the most noted
dairy experts in Oregon. To the
beginner in dairying this meeting
will be a school to learn the practical
part of this one of the most profitable
industries in Oregon, aud the exper-
fenced dairymau never fails to get
new ideas of value at these meetings.

HEDGE LAW CARRIED.

The vote on the hedge law car
ried by a big majority. In ex-
PLANTATION we will say that the
state Of Kansas has a law which
provides that when the people of
any county shall vote to take the
benefit of the law it becomes the
duty of the road overseers Of the
county to enforce that law. 1t is
enforced an this way: The law
provides that the road overseer
shall notify the hedge owner to
cut his hedge to heighth not ex-
ceeding five feet. If the hedge
owner fails or refuses to obey the
order it then is the duty of the
road overseer to hire the work
done, keeping a strict account of
the cost. and the cost shall be
taxed up against the property.
The law is, we believe, a good
one. and after the hedge owners
see the beauty Of well trimmed
hedges they also will be in favor
Of the law. The cutting of the
hedges down to a heighth not
erceedine Eve feet will be a God

against the city mail order house.
This has been done in the inter-

without money and without price.

ceived regular advertising rates
for all they have said against
these enemies of the country mer-

BOND PROPOSITION
ENDORSED.

The Columbus Advocate en-
dorses the proposition of the
News that it would be a good
idea for the county commissioners
to issue funding bonds to take up
the floating Indebtedness of the
county. BY issuing funding
bonds lot of interest money can
be saved. The Advocate says
1T is impossible to pay the in
ferest and principal on the levy
the law not allows, and the sug-
gestion of the News is a very
sensible one"
We believe it is the duty of the
commissioners to save the tax
payers all they can, and the issue
of funding bonds which need not
bear more than three and half
to four per cent interest would
prove to be a big saving. A
great many improvements are
needed in the county, and econo-
my must be the watchword from
now on. If the commissioners
keep up the practice of paying
more interest than is necessary
the people will certainly be justi-
fed in calling them to account.
AS we understand the law,
there is no necessity in an cleo
ton for the issuance of bonds.
We think the law gives the COM
missioners power to issue bonds
to take up floating indebtedness.
Will they do it?

PLEASANT DINNER IN JAPAN.
Member Of Recent British Mission
Tells Of the Repast.

An old.fashioned japanese dinner In

which he had actually sent man oil

even to the incest fold.
"A more comfortable dress II would
be difficult to find. cool in summer,
warm and coy in winter. Why did
the japanese abandon It for our clum.
~ costume? Only one thing came
amiss to me. The white socks, with
their division for the big toe. seemed
to cut me; but that Is q matter Of
habit. In this matter OF dress the
mayors dinner reached the height Of
topsy.turvydom. For, whereas the
English guests were all in Japanese
robes. the Japanese guests were all
IN European coats. Admiral Togo
Gen. Kuroki and the others had not
brought their kimonos with them on
this journey, SO they were compelled
to dine In what clothes they had.
ut was a curious sight and the man.
agement Of chopsticks by some OF our
party was not quite what might have
been expected Of gentlemen so attired.
The black cloth coats were quite at
home with them; the kimonos, on the
contrary. were very much puzzled. and
not averse to little help from small.
clever hands. In taking their seats
upon the mats, too. the coats had much

busy serving the dinner and who could

TO THE PATRONS or
THE CRY SCHOOLS.

1t seems to us that closer CO.
operation between the home and
school on the part of some of the
patrons is very desirable in fact
necessary to good school work.
For one thing, we notice a ten
dency on the part of some pupils
to be absent from school on little
or no excuse, and then persuade
parents to give them a written
excuse to their teacher. An ex-
cuse of this kind, of course, re-
lieves the teacher of responsible
ty, and renders void their power
to punish for unnecessary absence.
A pupil who gets off thus
easily is liable to become hab-
itual truant, which, in our judg-
ment, is the very worst thing
that can happen to child in the
way of school work. 1t stands to
reason that pupil who is in
school part of the time only, can
not do good work, and yet it fire.
quently happens that the parents
of such pupils are the first to find
fault with the schools.
We wish also to call attention
to the fact that at the end OF
each school month grade card
is filled out showing progress in
studies, general behavior and at
tendance and given to the pupil
with instructions to take it home
Immediately and ask parents to
examine it and make such sug-
gestions as they think will be
beneficial, sign and cause same
to be returned to us; so that if
the report does not reach the
parent it is the fault of the pu-
pill. Teachers work very many
hours each month at that most
exhausting work, grading papers
and recording averages, in order
to arrange a report in such con-
venient form that parents may
thoroughly examine it in two or
three minutes time each month,
and yet many pupils return their
reports, saying that father, or
mother, or neither, had time to
sign it, or said they did not care
anything about it. Such child
very naturally feels that his
school work is not regarded as of
very much consequence by those
at home, and is liable to come to
so regard It himself. If the rea-
son for low grades and deport-
ment was inquired into and a
remedy sought for, it would very
materially aid the teacher.
Our rule in regard to tardi-
ness has been often misunder-
stood by patrons. although il is
explained to the pupils almost
weekly. We are very much OPP
posed to hardness as very bad
habit to form early in life, but
we do not want children to be alb
sent on account of it; better to
to come in late than stay out be-
cause Of hardness, as in the lat
ter case they are both absent and |
tafdy, We want them to come

The adoption of the hedge and
weed law by the people of Chero-
kee county is good thing. In
time it may be possible to get
rid of a great many obnoxious
weeds, for the law says the weeds
must be cut before they go to
seed. The country will look a
great deal better without weeds
and high hedges.

tions carried on along ordinary

pending only on the energy be-
hind the telephones sending the
messages. The possibilities of
the device are almost limitless.
A private telephone may be car
ried in the pocket. The inventor
discovered the use of the instru-
ment by accident. He had con-
structed a small mechanism for
another purpose. 1t was lying
on his work table. One night he
was surprised to hear it inter-

message, which was being carried
over a wire some distance away.

the machine tor its present use.
