PLAYGROUND COMMISSION.

With two vacancies existing on
the playground commission, the
EVENING NEWS takes the oppor-
tunity to renew It's suggestion that
two women be placed on the board.
AS a matter OF fact. the law under
which the playground commission is
created leaves 1t to the discretion of
the municipal authorities whether
the commission shall consist Of three
or 1--WE members. In naming the first
commission 1t was deemed best to
have five.
At that time the EVENING NEWS
suggested that as the women of the
city were the most active In having
the commission appointed, they
should be given recognition on ths
board. In Camden and other cities
women have served with the great
est success. 1t Is recognized that no
one knows how to deal with children
more successfully than ONE and
for this reason they render valuable
service In the management of play
grounds. Acting Mayor Voorhees,
would do well to give this side of the
question serious consideration.

TURTLE Is RECORD KEEPER.
Man Finds Names of His Ancestors
on Its Shell.

Providence, r. I.-For ia years
family in Westerly has been using a
huge turtle as a keeper of the fam
lily records.
George L. Stillman, business man
of Westerly, was strolling about his
farm. about a mile from the village,
recently, when he came across a big
turtle which was summing itself on
the banks of a pond. He secured it
and found engraved on its shell the
initials of his grandfather, Adam Still
man, engraved in 1865. Further ex-
animation disclosed the name of an
other Adam Stillman, his great
grandfather, engraved in 1903, and
the name of Paul Maxon, carved in
1898.
Mr.. Stillman is convinced that the
carving was done at the times indi-
Gated on the shell. as it is a matter of
family history that the two previous
Stllmans carved their names on the
tortoise shell, and The town record,
show that a man named Paul Maxor
lived there in 1893.
Mr.. Stillman, after exhibiting tn,
| turtle to his friends, carved his owl
name and the date on the shell anC
then set the turtle adrift in the pond

HE COULDN'T STOP
THE LADY'S KISSES
Superintendent Who Was IIugged by
Fair Teacher Is Held to be
Innocent


New York.-The board of educa-
ton of Freeport, a suburban town on
Long Island. has decided that If a
pretty teacher, in gratitude for the
help given by handsome young
superintendent in preparing her re-
port, bestows an impulsive Cor hys-
tericaD kiss upon him, he is blame
less. The charge of unbecoming con-
duet, made against Arthur T.. Barnes
has, therefore, been dismissed. 1t
was admitted that Superintendent
Barnes resistance was only of the
mildest. type.
The decision Of the committee of
the board that has accepted the ex-
PLANTATION of Superintendent Arthur
f. Barnes that he was merely the re-
cipient of kisses in gratitude for wha,
he had done has come in for large
| amount of censure.
Freeport has not been so shocked in
years as il was when it learned that
the young woman had been seen seat
ed upon the lap of Superintendent
Barnes, her arms about his neck
heaping kisses upon him.

not go back to the excuse of Adam
and say he was tempted. He manfully
fell back upon the excuse that he wa,
helpless.
The board committee that investi
gated Superintendent Barnes went in
to all the details. They showed
curiosity as to the weight of tn
young woman and manner of kissing
the superintendent. When they hat
heard everything and had examined
the blushing Mr.. Barnes they decided
that the act was merely an indiscre-
ticn that did not warrant dismissal.
That should have satisfied mos
anybody. but the residents of Free
porte decided it was not enough. TIL
young woman in the case had mar
ried and was living happily, but ther,
were other young women. and a large
number of the residents decided tina
man as attractive as Superintendent
Barnes should not be permitted al
large in the school. A petition for

FARMERS UTILIZE SNAKES.
Kansas Agriculture Authority Rec
ommends Reptiles for G0ohers.


ommends Reptiles for G0ohers.
Manhatant, Kas.-lf the advice OF
the Kansas agricultural college is
followed every Kansas farm will keep
a herd of trained snakes on his farm
and when Bill Jones meets Hi Jen-
k,ns at the crossroads on n Sunday
morning on the way to church they
will tell of the prowess of their re-
spective snakes and talk trade.
Snakes are valuable to the farmer
who raises alfalfa, and they are ad-
vised to breed and raise them be-
cuse the snakes drive out the pocket
gophers and moles. the worst foes of
alfalfa. Farmers who have been ex-
perimenting with snakes in the al
falfa fields say that two active bull
snakes will keep three acres of alfal-
IA clear of gophers and moles and
that this service is worth at least IS
per snake in saving of alfalfa.
The agricultural college has issued
a bulletin on snakes on the farm. The
report says:
Few OF us relish the notion of
keeping two bull snakes for each
three acres of alfalfa, but there s no
doubt that the snakes would take
care of the gopher situation"
The bulletin advises that legisla-
ton be enacted protecting certain
kinds of snakes from the ravages of
the man with the club, as game birds
are protected. Maybe snake war
den, with oodles of deputy snake war
dens, Will be provided for. and then
there will be lot of new jobs for the
politicians. The gophers and moles
have done such damage that leg sla-
ton has been attempted to require
| farmers to kill the gopners and to use
| poisons
But the bull snake is held to be fal
superior to poisons for killing goph
ers and moles. Most farmers keel
dogs and cats, but the snake experts
assert that a herd of bull snakes
would be much more valuable. Th,
farmer is advised to give the wrig
CLING protectors of alfalfa as mucl
care and consideration as he does tn,
helpful hen and the rat terrier tina
keeps the rodents from underminin,
the corn CRIB and wheat bins
Bright and early every mornin,
the farmer should gather his bul
snakes about him and hasten to tn
alfalfa field, where the gophers an,
the moles are wont to cavort in tn
dew and alfalfa.

HANDICAPPED.
This Is the Case With Many PendIe-

Too many Pendleton citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work a burden and stoop-
ing or lifting an impossibility. The
back aches at night, preventing re-
freshing rest and in the morning is
stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick
kidneys.
The following statement should con-
vince every Pendleton reader Of their
efficiency.
Mrs. Thomas Burns, 500 w. Birch

HIGH HEELS AND HOBBLE
BANE OF CLAIM AGENT
Many Accidents Which Happen to Wo.
men Travellers Caused by
Fashion

Chicago, Ill.-The women in the
high heels and the hobble skirt is the
greatest problem which faces the
present-day railway claim agent.
The male dressmaker designs the
gowns and the male claim agent pays
the bills, according to the way it has
been figured out in the offices of the
men who have to pay for the discom-
forts of those of the feminine patrons
OF their roads who affect the extreme
in the length and height of heels and
the opposite limit in the width of
skirt.
1t is apparent that the only reason
that street railway companies have
ever thought Of putting mirror up
on their cars is for the purpose OF en-
ticlng their woman patrons to turn the
safe way in alighting
Stairways in railway stations are
built with the special purpose of ac-
commodating the woman with the
high heels and three suit cases, but in
spite of all these precautions many
travellers trip and slide down the
marble stairway upon their complex
ion.
Here are few of the complaints
received by the claim agent of the
Pennsylvania, which are said to be
typical:
High heel caught while getting on
car; knees and nose skinned"
"Tripped walking down entrance
stairs: wore hobbIe skirt"
Fell, whirling about to say good
by; high heel caught in skirt"
