equipped with adequate educational
facilities and pays salary of 500
month, while five pupils are nee.
essary to meet the state requirement.
Each of the many applicants has
agreed to surmount this barrier and
to supply the necessary additional
pupils, but so far only one practical
suggestion has been offered. This
came from a 10 years old girl in
Indiana, whose name the trustees
decline to make public for the pres
ent. She is a graduate of univer-
sity at Valparaiso. Her plan to
perpetuate the district is to borrow
four children from an orphanage
and care for them in and out of
school. The trustees are in CORE
spondence with the Hoosier girl ard
she may land the position.
Walla Walla's Commercial Club
will organize the commercial clubs
of Southeastern Washington into a

include nearby Oregon communi-

with their northern neighhors.
Pomeroy. Dayton, Waitsburg, Ken

General Farm Notes.

A good way to avoid the credit sys-
tenn is to grow the living at home. It
is usually possible to grow the most
expensive. yet the most necessary, ar
ticles of food on the farm
At our present rate Of deforestation
fuel and fencing materials will be
very scarce within a few years. Plant
waste lands in forest trees to supply
the timber required on the farm.
Diversified farming is adapted to the
man who does intensified thinking
The intensive thinker is always a sue
cess as a farmer or in any other occu-
patton where his talents lead him.
Johnson grass hay is a product that
will enable you to meet the demand
Of your animals for roughage John
son grass is splendid crop and
should be kept where it is wanted.
Keep up with your work in saving
and applying the manure from your
animals. The amount and kinds Of
food that will be available for them
next year will depend largely upon the
manure applied TO the farm.
The flower garden and the lawn do
not add to the profits Of the farm. but
they give pleasure and contentment to
the manager and his family. .Orna-
mental plants do much to endear your
sous and daughters to the homestead.
II you have not enough moisture in
your soil to germinate fall grains have
the land ready and SOW early in the
spring. Spring oats often yield well,
and when sowing can not be done In
the fan the next best thing to do is
SOW I'm the spring.
Invite the business men with whom
you trade to come out to the farm and
pay you and your family social visit.
The presence Of the city bred men
will give you higher ideals. and your
country hospitality will do them good
This will broaden your view Of life
and enable you to enjoy better busi-
ness relations with city people.

The Wild Giraffe.
Perhaps the most difficult Of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare. giraffes are
exceedingly timid and are very swift
footed. There is no special way to
capture a giraffe. as almost every way
has been tried. and TALL have been al
most equally unsuccessful. The meth
cd which has occasionally resulted In
capture is by using a long cord. at
each end OF which is a round weight.
This cord is thrown by the hunter in
such a manner as to wind round the
animals legs. either bringing it 10 the
ground or rendering II incapable OF es-
Gaping before II is made a prisoner.

THOMAS WOODRUFF
KILLED AT STARK
Dead Mans Family Ask Cor
oner Hickey to Hold Inquest
Investigation Started.

Coroner DR.. F. R. Hickey re-
ceived telephone call early Monday
morning from Stark notifying him
of the death of Thos. Woodruff Sun
day evening resulting from shots in
the leg and arm from a 3S calibre
revolver. The shooting was sup
posed to be accidental but the
call came from members of the dead
mans family asking that an inquest
held. The phone was working
badly and DR.. Hickey could not
get the straight of the tragedy but
understood that four" other men
were mixed up in the affair which
was supposed to have taken place
at Woodruff's farm two miles north
west of Stark. The train connec-
ton between here and Stark in the
morning is unsatisfactory and the
roads were too heavy for satisfac-
tory automobile trip. DR.. Hickey
therefore phoned to County Attorney
Smith to go up from Erie and if an
investigation indicated its necessity
that he should set time for the in
quest and issue the proper papers.
Though his information was meager
Coroner Hickey believed an acci-
dental shooting seemed unreason-
able in view of the conditions re-
ported to him.
