A Pointer for Oakley Teachers.

Among the English branches
to be taught in Oakley public
schools, writing, in nine cases
out of ten, is a regular farce.
"Attend to writing saws the
teacher, and very Systematically
the books are dropped around,
and the order of exercises opens
up. Iohn is sleepy and rests his
head on his elbow, Will tucks his
feet under him. Mary's nose al
most touches her paper, pen
holders point iii every direction
but the right one and copy books
lie in every position imaginable.
Listen to the Instructions as us
ually given, Letters too slant
ing, John-Will, you ought to
keep your book neater-Mary,
don't bear on so hard-Iane, how
are you getting along" Now
there is one right and best way
and forty wrong ones, just the
same with this as with any rule
in arithmetic and grammar;
teach them correctly and right
here in Oakley, and they will
succeed, but let instruction go
and the smattering they get OF it
only serves as an annoyance all
their lives. What teach. do yau
ask? Teach them there is a
proper way to sit-to place the
paper-to hold the pen-position
for the arms, body, feet-teach
them there are principles enter
ing into every letter, easy to
learn and all essential to good
writing. Six weeks proper drill
in Oakley's schools, with schol-
ars from ten to fifteen years vii
make far better penmen OF them
than the smattering they get IN
all their school life, which is a
positive hindrance to their ever
attaining to any degree OF pro-
fieiency.

good wisdom to have it in a

Some Questions for Mr.. Haw.
ley.

When the Democratic candi-
date for governor comes to Ida
no Falls, instead of indulging in
bis usual line of abuse Of Cover
nor Brady. and attempting to
hide the real issues of the cam
paign, we would suggest that he
commit himself on few things
that the people really want to
hear him talk about.
The people want to hear the
facts concerning two very IN.
portant questions, viz, the tenn
perance question,a the man.
agement of the states affairs bv
the Democratic and Republican
parties.
We know that Mr. Hawley is
pretty good at cross examining
himself, and skilled IN the art of
defense, but we are, nevertheless,
moved to PROFOUND to him the
following questions:
Did YOU or did you not vote
for the adoption of temperance
under the local option law?
Can you explain why it has
been necessary for a Republican
administration t o p a y off a
bonded deficiency in current ex.
penses inherited from the last
Democratic administration o f
nearly 100000?
You refer to Republican ex-
travagance--can Y II explain
why the last Democratic State
Land Board only did a business
of approximately S166,00O and
Governor Brady a business of
So, 500, 900?
Can you state why Governor
Brady has earned for the state
O Idaho II e good sum f
5000, 900 from the land depart
ment alone as against approxi-
mately $25, 900 under the last
! Democratic administration?
Can you explain why in the
revenue departments ot the state
Governor Brady has earned for
the state OF Idaho over $3.50 900
as against approximately $780,
900 under the last Democratic
administration?
Can you explain why every
Democratic senator in the last
legislature voted against the Ca
rey Act commission, a non-parti-
san commission of three experl-
enced men to devote their time
to the supervision of Carey Act
projects?
You are repated TO have prom
ised a man in high official rail
way circles that you would vote
the railway commission bill, and
vet YOU say you presented such
plank to your platform com
mittee and that you are person
ally in favor OF such a commls-
sion; what do you propose to do
if you are elected? Will you sign
or vote such a mea sure if pass
ed?
Is it not a fact that you arc
personally in favor Of a high H.
cense instead of county local OPP
tion?-Post, Idaho Falls, Octo

clearing up this land as rapidly as
possible, but even with the added acre
age this will give us. the tillable land
available is still far from adequate,
and more land should be secured as it
can be advantageOusly purchased. The
prison, with its present population,
should have at the very lowest be-
tween $50 and 800 acres available for
farming purposes, and could easily
consume all that GOULD be produced

pile Of rocks partly grassed over i'm
its gentle hollow on the sheltered side.
Three families live there-those of
the head keeper and his two assistants
In all, the Inhabitants number dozen
souls, besides two dogs. a cat and a
raccoon. There are five children, and
a teacher is provided ythe town of
Hull in conjunction with the state.
The school is kept i'm the third story
Of the head keepers house. There in
q large light room looking out i'm all
directions upon the sea the children
do their studying and recite their les
sons.
The light itself Is said 20 be the
Oldest in America-built i'm 1915 by the
government Of England. II is of rough
boulder stone, hoped with iron bands,
and its clean whitewashed form is a
landmark and a seamark far and wide.
A rustic iron railway for carrying
coal leads up from the water side 10
the engine house. where is an engine
and boilers i'm which steam is kept up
continually to operate the siren fog
horns. Their great trumpetlike forms
protrude through the wall OF the build
ing on the seward side. In foggy
weather one can hear from the open
windows the far Off mooing of the
foghorn on the Boston lightship seven
miles away. as the keepers on the
lightshlp can hear this one at Boston
light.
An old cannon lies ON the ground
near the lighthouse; IL was provided
by the Cunard steamship company

With farm of that size we could pro-
duce all the hay and oats needed by
the institution. as well as the vegeta-
bles consumed by the men, thereby
a very great saving. With a
sufficient acreage Of tillable land TO
enable us 10 raise corn and alfalfa
enough for the purpose. we could in
crease our herd OF cattle so that a
good share of the beef used in the
prison could be raised. and the milk

would help out very materially in

ADVICE FOR YOUNG MEN.


Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick or a
pen. a wheel barrow or a set of books,
dig bitches or edit paper, ring an
auction bell or sell goods, you must
work. If you look around you viii see

the rest Of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest.

but IL is of no value except for the
weight of the metal contained in its
cases. Every jeweler has an accumu
lative collection of such old works
which are of no value whatever. except
that at long intervals there may be
found among them a wheel of part
that may serve in some other old time
watch brought in for repairs.
So watches do wear out; and as to
the life OF watch. a jeweler said, a
good average watch, with fair care
ought to wear from thirty TO forty
years. and a fine watch fifty years; II
might last seventy-five, but fifty years
would probably be nearer the figure.
1t may be thought that superior
watch would last longer than that. but
really the wonder is that this delicate
piece of mechanism running year after
wear ceaselessly should run so long
And as a matter of fact, comparative
liz few watches are put to the fina
test of their endurance. Fashions
change In watches a sthey do i'm every
thing else. and men tire Of their ole
watch and want another and they
are more than likely TO buy a new
watch before the old one stops.

LIFE OF A WATCH.
Depends Largely on Watch and Man
Carrying II.

The life of a watch, jewelers. say,
depends largely on the person carrying
Il and the care taken of it, AS to the
care of watch some jewellers say that
II should be oiled once year, some
once in two years; perhaps once in
eighteen months would be about the
right thing.
All jewelers. say that a watch should
always be wound at the same time
daily: this is essential to make 1t give
the best and most uniform results. If
n watch is permitted to run down 1t
may on rewinding keep different time
and require regulating. With the watch
wound regularly and kept running
there is set up and established I'm the
handspring a certain tension. If this
strain Is wholly released by letting the
watch run down the spring may on re-
winding take on somewhat different
tension. This difference may be ex-
tremely slight but it may be enough
to affect the running of the watch.
While some watches are long lived
many are short lived, the long lived
watches being of course of fine quail
ity that are also well cared for
But there is limit to the life of any
watch that is kept constantly I'm use.
The hest of watches, like the best of
anything will wear out i'm time.
A matchmaker had lately brought In
TO him for repair a watch 125 years
old that had been running practically
continuously. 1t might be difficult e
say of just what duration its intervals
of rest had been, but ii was supposed
to have been run practically contin.
uously, and though 1t had stopped Al
least once. IL was still i'm fairly goot
condition and good for some future
use. But this was an extraordinar,
case. Most watches, however, excel
