MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY WIND
Heavy Blow of New Years Day De-
strOys Considerable Property
in the Lower Valley.

considerable damage was done over
the valley by the wind of New Years
day. In outlook the most damage
was done to the office building of W.
E. Williams. Boards with which
baled hay was covered were blown off
and driven through the rear of the
building, making large opening near
the roof. AT the Green farm east of
town the barn was blown down. for
tunately none of the live stock was in
jured. A box car standing in the rail-
road yards was partially unroofed.
Building Is Destroyed.
A building belonging to w. ]. Har-
wick on Grandview Heights, otherwise
known as Harrison's hill, was COM
pletely demolished by the wind Satur.
day. This structure was erected for a
barn and was tall and narrow with
broad side to "windward." Mr.. Har-
wick had arranged it for a temporary
dwelling, contemplating building a
substantial residence in the future. 1t
was propped on the south side and the
wind seemed to have lifted the house
against the props and over them until
it struck on the ridge pole, upside
Y
pane of glass fell in such a way that it
was unbroken, while the kitchen stove
was ruined. A few articles of furni-
ture escaped, but almost everything
was destroyed. Mrs. Hardwick having
become alarmed by the shaking of the
building, had gone with her little
daughter to a neighbours for safety,
and thus escaped almost certain death.
The Hardwicks will make their home
with the T. G. Youngs family for the
present.
Mother and Child Hurt.
Mrs. Henry Locke and infant child
were in the cook house belonging to
the Locke bailing outfit, on the c. H.
Padgham place, when the cook house
was blown over. Mrs Locke was
badly hurt and the infants head re-
ceived cash which required eight or
nine stitches to sew it up. They founu
refuge at the Padgham home and
both are recovering from their in
juries.
At about o'clock, after the boy had
done the milking the barn of w. c..
Picking on Tenth street was lifted into
the air and piled against the corner
of neighbours house. The rema rk-
able thing about it was that two cows
firmly secured in the stanchions and
four horses tied with new hitching
ropes were left standing unframed
with broken ropes.

Physical Examinations.
Physical examinations of pupils was
discussed and it's necessity question
ed Superintendent Reed thought
such examination necessary. Direct
or Robertson said that he understood
the examining physicians, Drs. Chase
and Thompson, were specialists and
that they would mot recognize case
of contagious disease If they ran
across it," To this superintendent
Reed made answer that they had rec
ognized such cases. Other members Of
the board declared them to be COM
petent men in general practice.
Athletic instruction was taken up
and the question of whether the SER
vices of Instructor Cook are needed
was asked. Mr.. Reed said the ath-
letic question was a troublesome one
but that under Mr. Cook the boys
had done better work and had made
better showing, both physically and
as gentlemen, away from home than
ever before. The influence Of Mr..
Cook, he said, was excellent. Mr.
Kumler ended the discussion by
pointing out that Mr.. Cook, who is
allowed $50 per month, is under con-
ct.
Question Of Stenographer.
Whether the district can get alo,. z
without stenographer was another
question raised and Director Robert
son thought that the pupils in the
Commercial course should be able to
handle all the necessary work. This
was not considered possible by the
other directors and the matter was
dropped
Secretary Kumler, who was re-en-
gagged at 800 per month, was in
st1ucted to confer with the attorney
of the board regarding the vacation

This is a problem facing not only men

in years. 1t is useless 10 say that they
should have saved something for This
period of their life. Those who are EN-

to say that the government should pro-
vide old age pensions. Perhaps 1t should
but it doesn't. The situation remains that
these people have no money saved. no
steady income, and the work they have
done, they can do no longer. because
younger workers are wanted.
The only thing is to turn their faces
resolutely to some new work which the
old can do and which the young do not
care for because more money is to be
made In other occupations. No doubt it

THE MESSAGE OF DRESS.

How many Of us realize that our dress
b our first message to those we meet,
sometimes our only message? 1t speaks
for US before we have the opportunity to
say a word; to large part of the world 1t
Is the only expression of ourselves we
give. for we pass on and say nothing The
woman who does realize this Is the
woman whose dress makes a good impress
sion, the woman of whom you say men
tally before she has spoken, Doesn't she
look charming?' or who leaves with you.
as she passes you on the worlds busy
thoroughfares, a sense of delight and eye
satisfaction.
What then is the message your clothes
give? Do they express yourself, your real
self, and what is that self?
Some women's dress merely express
money Rustling silks. lavishly-used
laces, sparkling Jewels. all say loudly,
money" The wearer of this sort of dress
seems to want to express to the world
solely the possession of money. 1t cries
forth from her clothes blatantly.
Ine dress of others is hodge podge.
There is no harmony. no unity. Waists
and skirts do not go together. Hats
do not seem to belong to any costume.
There is no keynote to their clothes, ex-
cept, perhaps. that of disorder and con-
fusion. She never, in her dress, expresses
q sense of restfulness.
Her clothes speak truly. She lives in
the same confused, miNed-up fashion.
