large soft sponge makes the best one
imaginable. 1t should be moderately
Hne and perfectly free from grit Damp
On it, or rather soak it in a pan of
water, and then wiring it as dry as pos
sible; never try to use it with much
water in it. When you are busting, free
the sponge of the dust quite often by
rinsinS thoroly in the clean water
When you have finished using, wash it
free of all dust and grit and hang in
the sun to dry. If a sponge is not cared
for it soon gets soft and squashy and
full OF particles of grit and then it will
not be fit for anything. Some house
keepers always wash windows with a
sponge. 1t is an excellent cleaner--if
il is kept clean itself-but it will streak
the window glass unless you wash 1t out
every few moments.

probably does not know that the best
way to fasten the thread at the end of
the seam is to turn back on the seam
just sewn and stitch for half an inch Or
more; then you can cut the thread and

of time and is absolutely necessary if
YOU would not have your thread ripping
out all the time.

NEW ENGLAND DINNER
Grand Benefit for Dallas Free Library
Will Be Given Thursday,
October IL.

Great plans are already under way
for the New England dinner, which is
to be given for the benefit of-the
Dallas Free Library on October II. It
promises to be one Of the biggest,
most enjoyable affairs that has ever
been given in Dallas, and everyone
is expected to help it along by dona-
tions and attendance.
1t is planned to make this a yearly
social event Of the first magnitude,
given on the date Of the library's
anniversary. From time immemorial
there has been a subtle connection
between eating and sociability, and
this event will emphasize both features.
1t is little too early to give the
menu, but suffice it to say that the
ladies Of Dallas, already noted for
their triumphs in the culinary line,
will vie with each other to make this
dinner memorable. A number Of the
young girls are going to wait on the
table, dressed in Priscilla costume,
and more than likely John Alden and
Miles Standish will be lurking about.

WORK BEGINS ON CUTOFF
Southern Pacific Will Remove Trains
From Fourth Street and Save
Heavy Grade.

Work has at last begun upon the
cutoff which will run from Beaverton,
to point near OswegO, on the Yam
hill division.
The Willsburg cutoff, as the Beaver
ton q Willsburg railroad is called,
will be 133 miles long, and will run in
an easterly direction from Beaverton
to the Willamette near Oswego. The
bridge to be built spanning the river
at this point will be high enough to
allow boats to pass under it, and it is
said that the center piers will be sunk
to a depth below the bottom of the
river to reach q solid foundation.
Work has already commenced upon
the bridge.
Contracts for the construction Of the
cutoff call for the completion of the
work within one year. The cost of the
new line, including the bridge, will be
in the neighborhood of $35O,OO0.

Wins Dallas Scholarship.

Earl Heckart won second place in
this, the second district, of the Port
land Journals educational contest
While the exact amount Of his cash
prize is not known as yet, it is sup
posed to be about $50, besides which
he secures a one year scholarship in
Dallas college. He will go to Dallas
the first of the week TO enter school.
The young man made splendid fight
throughout the contest, and being too
young to enter o. A. c., the oppor-
tunity to attend Dallas college for
year will be Of inestimable value to
him. Corvallis is proud Of the young
people who have ambition and perse-
verance, and Mr.. Heckart has the
hearty congratulations Of many
friends.-Corvallis Gazette.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS AGAIN
Dallas Public School Opens With
Record Breaking Attendance
Many More Expected.

The Dallas Public School opened
yesterday morning at o'clock sharp,
with larger attendance than ever
before. Every desk was filled, and if
as many more pupils enter this week
as are expected, Principal Hill says
that it will be necessary to install sew
eral more seats in each room. No
special opening exercises were held,
but teachers and pupils in every room
Immediately commenced their years
work.
The rapidity and ease with which the
problem Of securing books and school
supplies was solved reflects great
credit on Principal Hill, who was the
auther of the new scheme. In every
room, printed slips containing a full
list Of the books required were given
to each pupil by the teacher, and when
these were presented at the stores, the
orders could be rapidly filled. To
make it still easier to handle the
throng Of children that Immediately
filled both drug stores where books
were on sale, Principal Hill assisted
the clerks in Stafrin's drug store while
Professor W. I. Ford did a similar
work at Cherrington's. The store
keepers say that they never before had
less trouble handling the first-day
crush of school children.
The desks in the ninth grade depart
ment are all taken, and it will
probably be necessary to secure tables
for the students, since bookkeeping
has been added to the course this year,
and the desks do not furnish enough
room forSthe work.
The enrolment in the various rooms
this year follows: First grade, 38,
Miss Evangeline Hart, teacher second
grade, SO, Miss Maude Hart, teacher
third grade, 38, Miss Eugenia Phillips,

A BLIGHTED CAREER.
BY DEAN COLLINS.

"Now Willie" says my pa to me,
The school begins today,
And you must go and do the best you
can;
For If you are Industrious,
I'm very sure you may
Become famous lawyer when a man
So study, son, with might and main, u
Don't want to be lawyer, pa,
And have to go and study law;
I'd rather be an engineer,
And run railroad train.
My ma she thinks I'm built to be
A famous Senator,
Or sit upon the chair of President
She says that I exhibited
When was barely four,
The qualities that go to make one
eminent;
To highest stations I should 90.
But something better I would be,
No Presidential chair for me;
want to be a spieler for
The Ringing Brothers show.
Study, my child" my grandma says,
Cali books both sound and wise;
The works of Wesley and of DR..
Clarke;
For, looking in the future,
| see with joyous eyes,
My grandchild dear a minister OF
mark,
A preacher, scholarly and good"
Why should be preacher? Fudge |!
My grandma she amt any Judge;
/ want to be scout, and hunt
Wild Injuns in the wood.
And that's the way it always goes;
When school days come again,
| have to go and study with the rest.
Don't want to be preacher,
Nor all those other men
I reckon that I know just what's best.
But pa aud ma and grandma dear
They've got it all planned out, and so
They won't let my opinions go.
Thus, with their foolish meddling,
They've blighted my career.
