charcoal in it. b.
Never throw away pea pods; they
give a delicious flavor to the PURGE

A roast of meat which is to be serv-
ed cold should be wrapped in a cloth
when it is put away. 1t keeps its
flavor better.
After scrubbing potatoes to bake,
grease them with lard, and the outer
skin will come off like burnt paper
when the potatoes are served.
See that clothes are thoroughly
dried and aired after being ironed
Otherwise they will not smell fresh
and sweet and white garments will

A sTORK'S NEST.
Treasures One Yielded in an Alsatian
Town.

The following details concerning the
structure and contents of a stork's nest
investigated on the summit of the cathe-
dral of Colmar in Upper Alsace NAV be
of interest: The city architect has lust
delivered a public lecture there on
''Storks and Their Ways" He described
a stork's nest which was about 80 years
old; it measured 6 feet across and was
5 feet in height; it weighed sixteen hun
dredweght, or over three-quarters of a
ton. and it was such solid mass that it
had to be broken up by using a pickax.
The nest was made of twigs of wood and
clay and the materials filled twenty-four
sacks. The walls of the nest were found
to contain seventeen ladies' black stock
ings. five fur caps, the sleeve of white
silk blouse. three old shoes, large piece
of leather and four buttons that had

SACRIFICE.

When apple boughs are dim with bloom
And lilacs blossom by the door,
How sweetly poignant the perfume
From springs that are no more!
Strange how that faint, familiar scent
Of early lilacs after rain
By subtlest alchemy is blent
With childhood's tenderest joy and pain
Back through the long mists of the way
Are weary mothers seen through tears;
They broke their lives from day to DAY
To pour this fragrance down the years.

The May fire loss was moderate, keep
ing up the reputation whAch 1909 has
so far established for itself as a year of
diminished destruction by flames. Yet,
by mere coincidence, it happens that
the May fire loss was very small a year
and two years ago. The figures for
May for three years last past compare
as follows: 1909, ST, $3.50, 400; 1908, $751;
1S1,15O; 1907, Sic, 2S6, 300. The fire
loss for the first FIVE months of 1909

with $1O59S5, $50 for the corresponding
period of 1908 and $1O2. 712, 800 for the
first FIVE months of 1907. This is a

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE TOO SMALL
State Superintendent Proposes Or
ganization Of Districts to Give
Rural District Graded Schools

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 28-That the aver
ACE school district in old Oklahoma is not
larce enough and in the organization Of
the new counties a plan Of making the
districts larger and consolidating others
with a view of establishing graded schools
and furnishing some method Of ranspor-
tation to and from the graded schools; is
the position taken by State Superinten-
dent E. D. Cameron.
In his annual report this interesting
feature is thus disposed Of
"It is the opinion Of this department
that experience has shown that the aver
aee school districts in that part Of the
state formerly known as Oklahoma terri
torv is too small for the best school work.
IN districts of the present size it is inn
oossibIe to grade the schools, and for that
reason our citizens who live on the farm
and have to educate their children main
II IN the common district schools are de-
MED the privilege of educating their
children in any kind Of high school. The
people Of the country are entitled to high
school facilities, just as much as the peo-
Dle Of the cities, if these facilities can
possibly be secured To try to meet this
demand we have laid off much longer dis
tricts in the new counties in that portion
Of the state formerly known as the Indian
Territory, and will organize graded schools
in all these districts where it can possibly
be done.
IN some Of these districts we will put
into operation the plan Of conveying the
children to and from the school every day.
We favor this plan Of large districts grad
ed schools, and conveying the children to
and from school every day.
If an average Of four districts would
unite in this way to run one school, our
state would soon be filed with rural dis
trict school doing good work in the higher
grades, and our district schools would be
as good as any in the world. We deyout-
" hope to see this condition brought
about, which can easily be done under
the law as amended by the last lessla-
ture.

High School Notes.

The new course of study for the High
School that is expected to be offered next
year will soon be out and placed in the
hands Of the high school pupils.
The first half Of the school is over and
nearly one week of the last half All
patrons that have pupils that are old
enough to start to school should start them
not later than next week, as we cannot
enroll them after that in the primary room.
The High School basket ball team ex-
pect warmly contested game with the
Chelsea High School team Friday night.
Every one is expected to come out and
give our boys their support. as we want
them to do as well at basket ball as at
foot ball
The High School pupils are now very
busy with Caesar and Plane Geometry
These are heavy subjects and demand
much attention.
Pupils and teachers are looking forward
for a new school building another year.
We hope we will not be disappointed.
