Health In the Schools,

This country has ut last begun to
wake up to the fact that lack Of proper
sanitary and medical methods In our
schools has been causing vast
amount Of absolutely unnecessary bad
health; that bad health is often the
sole cause Of dullness or unruliness on
the part Of the pupil and that all
these things are too destructive to the
future lives and success Of pupils to
be longer neglected. II the schools
demand supervision over our children
for 80 large part of their young lives
then the schools must live up to this
responsibility for bodies az we'll a.
for minds.
Sanitary surroundings, the spread
OF contagious dis eases, proper food for
lunches, such physical defects a. bad
teeth. adenoids, poor eyes-all these
things we have finally learned are Of
vital lmportance.-Deline Gator.

INDIANS IN FEAR OF COMET
euperstitIous Aborigines Held 1t 40
countable for Shortage of Deer
and Caribou.

Deer In Canada have been scarce
this year." said John A. Raymond of
Montreal
In fact in some places they have
almost vanished. There was a great
deal OF cold weather the last winter
In the Alberta province. In some parts
the ground was frozen several feet
deep. The Indians were the greatest
sufferers, not particularly from the
cold. but from the shortness of food,
because they depend upon deer flesh
to last them until the spring.
THE caribou also were few. A year
ago rabbits were so plentiful one
could almost walk over them. This
year they were gone, and it was the
same with the deer and caribou.
1T was the same story all over that
part OF Canada. The Hudson bay
hunters reported that they had found
no caribou at all, and some Of them
travelled more than 300 miles in
search Of the game. The Indians
everywhere suffered and rel1efs of all
kinds were organized by the Hudson
bay company as we'll as by the mount
ed police.
1.-THE Indians were made the more
unhappy by superstitious belief that
the comet was in some manner 40
countable for their suffering. In some
cases they were driven almost to q
state of panic, and hid themselves In
any kind Of shelter they could find,
hoping to be overlooked by the power
OF whose visitation they assumed the
comet to be a sign"

KEPT HIS PRESENCE OF MIND

A group of men were discussing HUI
nan nature and the difficulty of look
ing always on the bright and glitter

dark brown side is uppermost and
seems destined to remain uppermost.
ITS a great thing to cultivate a
disposition to make the most of things
in this life" remarked one of the
group. "The most striking illustra-
ton I ever had Of that was in a big
horse race at county fair down the
state about ten years ago. The man
driving alongside Of me let his horse
,werve on the back stretch and my
Sulky was upset. That caused a gen.
eral mixup and colored driver right

ESSAY ON CHARACTER.

Character is structure which
everybody is building. young and old
each one for himself If every day
we try to do noble act, and say
truthful thing it will win for us 8
good name-and this is one of the
essentials of good character.
Shakespeare says:
Good name in man or woman, dear
my Lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their soul
Who steals my purse steals trash
It's something, nothing;
Twas mine, It's his and has beer
slave to thousands
But he that filches from me my good
name robs me Of that which not en-
riches him, and makes me poor in
deed
God gives youth mind but man
makes the character. Character is not
made greater by what man thinks it tc
be but what God knows it to be.
Every man or woman is bound tc
have a good character if he will try
and strive to do the right thing.
The value Of good character can
hardly be estimated but we know it is
the standard of human progress.
Youth is the time when the seeds OF
character are sown, whether they be
good or bad. Then let us all strive fol
the good character for that is the
highest standard Of life.

candidate for the legislature named
Pussey. In 1881 he made a voyage to
New Orleans on a fatboat built by

Dear Editor:

things to see here.
l will write about sugar beets
now. They are lifted from the ground
with beet lifters, pulled by three
horses, then the Russians go along
and pile the beets, and then they take
big sharp knives and top the beets;
then they are loaded on big beet wag-
ons and hauled to the beet dump and
dumped into beet cars. Then they
are taken to Billings to the sugar fac
tory, where they make sugar from the
beets and 1t is fine. They also make
syrup from the beets too and 1t is

There is grocery store near here,
and it is nice because all the ranch

WHEN MAMMA WAS A LITTLE
GIRL.

My mother was born near Buckeye
Creek, in Benton county. She had to
go to school when she was five years
old. Her first teachers name was
Emma Coder. At recesses and Moons
the children used to go down to Buck
eye Creek and get wild grape vines to
jump the rope with. For pets they
had sheep calves, horses and cows
The horses names were Doll and
Prince, and the cows names were
Bess and Daisy.
Mamma lived on farm. They rails
ed all kinds of vegetables. They rails
ed many chickens, ducks and turkeys.
There were some Indians that camped
on the creek and mamma lived above
them. The Indians picked wild grapes
and went to the neighbors and they
would trade the grapes for flour, meat,
coffee and tobacco and many other
things.
