A BAD. LITTLE HousEKBEpER

Where are you going, my pretty
maid 2? sang Aunt Kitty, meeting 1T
tie Marian ON the gravel walk with
q big platter full OF something and
look OF being in hurry.
..Oh! please don't stop me, Aunt
Kitty. said Marian; please don't. l

God has made you keeper of-the
one He built for your soul to live
In"
DO you mean my body?" asked
Marian, opening her blue eyes very
wide.
Eyes. That is a wonderful little
house, and yet you do not mind abus,
ing It, my little housekeeper. When
you got your feet wet and had Group
last week, that was neglecting your
little house and doing It harm When
you are greedy about candy and cake,
you are spelling your house. Some
times you don't want to take your
bath, and that is being a very bad
nousekeeper: and when you don't go
to bed eanly you are trying to pull
your house to pieces"
II didn't know was a sure-enough
housekeeper," said Marian, soberly.

q single crop, excepting alfalfa where
It is an assured success, to furnish pas
ture for hogs throughout the season.
He recommends succession Of pas
lures from the beginning OF the sea-
son until the hogs are ready for mar
ket. making the feed richer and more
concentrated toward the close Of the
season as we approach the finishing or
fattenlng period. For this purpose no
recommends red clover or alfalfa, COW
peas and soy beams
It will pay the farmer who Is rails
Ing hogs to provide good pasture,
even II he is feeding them from other
feeds, for cloyers, COW peas and coy
beans are rich In protein and make 1:
good adjunct to any ration. The cheap
est gsins that can be made in hog
raising are where the hogs are fed
skim milk and allowed to run on Z
good pasture OF either clover or al
ifalfa. Where possible to do 70 a pas.
ture is to be preferred to the dry lot

In the old world the children Of a
great imperial or royal house turn
naturally to the army or navy as a
career from their very earliest years.
Thus the German emperor's ambition
for his eldest son is to see him quail
tying himself to command, not regi.
ment or brigade, but an entire di.
vision Of 10000 troops-if not with
the Skill of Won Moltke, then at
least with the adroitness OF any other
of the Kaiser's generals, who form
the brain-power Of the mightiest army
on earth.
On the other hand, the children Of
the British royal house gravitate nat
urally toward the navy; and the
Prince Of Wales eldest son, little
Prince Edward, some three or four
years ago commanded an imposing

Dalies Commercial and Athletic club
five defeated the strong Hood River
team in fast game of basketball at
the Apple City last night, the tinal
score being 81 to 20, says The Dailes

two teams throughout the contest,
first one five being in the lead and
then the other. Hood River scored
three points before the locals located
the basket but The Dalles men hy
hard playing managed to finish the
hrst half with the score standing 10
to In their favor.
The home players we're In the lead
several times in the second period OF
the contest and when there we're but
two minutes more to play, were a few

alizug that II was up to them to win

nothing but praise for The Appl City

Expecting to make the trip to Hood

Voted go Mill Tax for Schools,

At meeting held in the new High
School building Monday November
30th by the taxpayers to consider a
levy for school purposes 20 mill tax
was voted unanimously. The cause
of the high levy Is due to the big ex-
pense which has been necessary in
erecting the high school and fitting
1t up, the total cost OF which is about
S43, 600. The extra $4,000 over the
contract Price of the building Is for
expenses incurred In furnishings and
in clearing up and improving the
grounds around the building. While
the tax may seem high it is in a meas.
urs accounted for from the fact that
the assessed valuation of property in
the school district Is low. Last year
II was 1870, 600 and this year 1t is but
increased being $3.50, S95.
