Primary Room Entertains

The children of the Primary room
Of our school under the direction of
Miss Mae Maple, rendered splendid
program Friday afternoon.
The children had previously sent out
decorated Nmas bells which were of
their own making and on which was
written a neat little invitation to at
tend their exercises. A gUodly num-
Der of the patrons and friends of the
school were present to enjoy the oc.
casion.
Every feature OF the program was
well carried out and with children
that size, it required a whole lot OF
drilling to make it the success it
proved to be. Nearly, If not every
little tot in the room had some part
in the program and when their turn
came they marched out with all tn
assurance in the world that they knew
what they were expected to do and
not one of them failed
Miss Mae has certainly labored
faithfully with her room and she de-
serves the greatest commendation for
her efforts. Not only in getting up
special programs has she proven her.
self especially well qualified but the
Wilderness of her everyday work in the
school room are everywhere apparent
If Miss Mae expects to render thi,
quality of work always in future, anc
we know she does, Beaver school could
not do better than to sign permanent
contract with her

Ferris Asks More Pay For
Mail Carriers.

Recognition for the rural letter
carriers is asked by Representative
Ferris in u bill authorizing increases
in the salaries Of the ''boys" who sup
ply the farmer with his daily pape,
and mail generally. Ferris takes the
position that if the city carrier is
worth 81 900 the rural carrier is wortl
as much il not more, especially in view
of the fact that the rural carrier has
two or three horses to maintain as
well as wagon which represents an
outlay of 500 annually, if not more
The present salary is only s720.
The Ferris bill fixes a minimum
salary of 81 900 for every carrier with
route of % miles or less and $l0O
additional for every additional five
miles or fraction thereof.

Melancholy Days

The melancholy days have come,
The saddest OF the year,
When coal bills loom and chimney
smoke
Aud plumbers draw anear--
When on the family camphor chests
Are made belated calls,
And all the air around. about,
Is fierce with strong moth balls.
The days are come when frantic men
Who look for last years clothes,
Lament in language sulphurous
Their semi-aunual woes,
And objurate their thrifty wives
Who proud their bargains yaunt
In selling to peddlers old,
The very things men want
These are the days when furnaces
or troubles bring a store,
When visitors to offices
Leave open wide the door:
When days are dark and snow hints
come
And all is cough and wheeze,
When love grows cold and tempers
cross,
And life is one long sneeze.

Must Grow Fence Posts

Farmers in the Central and Eastern
states are now seeing the need of re-
placing the timber lands that were so
n-edlessly destroyed in order to secure
more land for cultivation and as a
method for securing money by cutting
into lumber and other materials.
Now this same timber is wanted to
replace farm buildings and in the
building OF fences.
Throughout the Central west good
fence posts can only be had from lum-
her dealers who sell cypress and cedar
posts at prices almost beyond the
reach of the small farm owner
Many farmers do not like concrete
and steel posts, as they are expensive
Some farmers are turning fields out
and farming without fences
But to do this much valuable pasture

AT NATIONS
CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-During the
last fiscal year ending June 30, the
United States forest service issued tc
settlers in the neighborhood of nation
al forests in western states over 10000
"free use" permits, under which the
settlers received free about 264 ,0oC
cords of frewood, posts, poles and
sawlogs, worth 1903 800, or about "a
cents per cord in the forest-a low
valuation.
Besides this. the different states RI.
ceived for school and road purposes
% per cent of the income from The
national forests, amounting la.J veal
to SAT- .064. The direct return to the
states in lieu of taxes on the 1t7 mil
lion acres, the estimated area of un-
patented land in the national forests
amounted then in the last yea 81
$616.3S4 in cash and ''free use
timber.
In 1907 the total of "free useo ma
terial and money paid over amounte
to about 1858, 400. The increase of the
amount given to the states from 10
per cent to 25 per cent of course il
largely responsible for the large re
turn in 1908, but even had this per
centage been changed a good in
crease would have been shown, despit1
the Generalization of the lumber
business caused by the financial furry.
In fact. this increase may be looked
for up to many times the present
amount as the demand for timber in
creases and the forests are developed
more and more.
Theodore f. Burton, who will come
to the senate as Senator Foraker's sue
cessor. while somewhat lacking the
Foraker power and vividness of expires
sion. nevertheless will shed luster over
the senate because of ability as an ora
tor. During his career in the house
Mr.. Burton has never failed to draw a
large attendance of fellow-members
when speaking. He is not a "~speaker
to the galleries. as is Representative
Bourke Cochran, New York's foremost
orator in the house. The Cleveland
man, long a student of affairs and a
Trainer of legislation requiring a pro-
cess of deeper thought, is mental rath-
err than physical. He speaks from the
mind to the minds of his auditors, and
makes no attempt at play on their
emotions. Though his power as a
speaker is that of a man who seeks 70
enlighten rather than to thrill, he is
never stupidity discoursive. Those who
have followed Mr.. Burton in debate
and in lengthy discourse, are confident
that he will enhance the senate for the
same abilities correspondingly that
have brought fame to Joseph Benson
Foraker. In short, the senate, always
bowling to the spell of oratory, will
find him a useful member.
