Their Favorite Minister.

A very nice and gentle minister accepted
q call TO a new church in a town where
many of the members bred horses and
sometimes raced them. A few weeks later
ne was asked TO invite the prayers Of the
congregation for Lucy Grey.
Willingly and gladly he did so for three
Sundays. On the fourth, one Of the dea-
cons told the minister he need not do IL
any more.
Why" asked the good man, with an
anxious look, SIS she dead?"
"Oh, no." said the deacon. She's won
the steeplechase."

A Pertinent Question.

Senator Rayner, Of Maryland, is in favor
of adquate salaries for school teachers,
and at a reception he told a story about a
teachers meeting In a district where the
salaries were extremely low.
"A rich, portly banker opened the meet
ing with an address" he said. THE bank
err concluded his remarks with an enthu-
siastic gesture and the words:
Long live our school teachers!

Snake No Rinqa Da Bell"

A party OF Italian Iaborers engaged IN
railroad construction in the Cascade noun
tains were cautioned by their foreman al
ways TO be on the look out for rattle
snakes, which thickly infested that region.
Despite the warning one unlucky Italian
stepped on a RATHER which promptly bit
him. After the usual whisky treatment,
the victim was placed on a train and sent

.ered curses in his native tongue soon
gathered a crowd around his seat. And
many were the questions asked of him.
Finally some inquisitive person asked him
why he idn't get out Of the way hen

Casey, warmly.

Genera prosperity has advanced the
prices of farm products somewhat, but the
Interests" have so organized and so con-
trolled the handling agencies that the
Farmers gains lave never been commen-
surate with the added cost of agricul-
tural products to the people. The millers'
trust has reaped a larger benefit from
prosperity than the farmers have. The
packers trust has raised the prices of
meats above all previous records. but the
farmers prices for live stock have not adj
vanced accordingly. Last year the apple
crop and the peach crop were so bountiful
that in many instances the farmers did
not gather all the fruit because the mar
Set would not receive it at a profit.

DEDICATION OF L'ANSE NEW
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Continued from page one.

From here we enter the bright and
cheerful class rooms, comfortably
equipped with seats and all modern
conveniences for work in the lower
grades.
Again we return to the starting
point in the main ball, where
The onstructio of the
rooms to the left are in most re-
spects the same as those just visited
Here we are confronted by
another wide stairway which leads
10 the rear entrance OF the building
and likewise to the basement. On
either side of this stairway are
two more which ascend to o landing,
where they merge into one and lead
10 the second floor.
Here are located the rooms which
constitute the home OF the higher
grades, otherwise known as the
High School department.
At the left is a large recitation
room, which will be fitted out with
u modern design of furniture as
soon as possible, and will be devoted
10 the study OF languages.
Next to this room is what is to be
known as assembly hall. This room
is comfortably fitted with desk seats
a cornmodious platform, and a
piano. In this room the pupils
=, will assemble each morning at the.
opening Of school and from which
place they will 20 to the various
class rooms in which they will take
up the special subjects.
Facing the main stairway is
located the superintendent office
and library. This room is 25x18
feet, and when completely furnished
will be one OF the most inviting
in the entire building.
Adjoining the Office is another
comfortable, well-lighted classroom,
which Is to be devoted to the use OF
the bookkeeping department, and
extra classes which it is expected
will be organized during the pres.
ent school year.
The physical laboratory. q room
25x19 feet, is located at the extreme
north end of the building, likewise
the chemical laboratory which Is
opposite and splendidly con-
structed for this particular work.
Later 1t is expected a new 1925 out
1T will grace these rooms, the work
in these departments having become
an important factor in the course OF
studies.
The building has been so con.
structed that nearly every room,
with the exception of the assembly
room and corridors, are OF uniform
size, and may be entered through
one or more doors. /. Each door 10
lifted with glass front, through
which one may ascertain when
classes are Ia session without hav-
ing to enter the rooms,
the use Of which will do away with
much confusion.
The 6nishings OF both main floors
are bright and cheerful, o majority OF
the rooms being wainscoted aud
finished 10 natural color, while the
walls are smoothly plastered In
spotless white. Hardwood floors
also grace the building.
One OF the most noteworthy feat
ures OF the new building Is the wide
stair and Railways, an item which
has much to do with the safety Of
chose confined within the building
In case OF Gre.
In the basement Is situated the
heating and ventilating apparatus
and toilets. Located In the rear Of

now this splendid monument is .
fitting tribute to their untiring
energies. The present board under
whose administion the edifice has
been erected is composed Of H. ].
