A Pair of Live Ones

The Wilson Bros, Ort. and Vert,
were among the first real farmers on the
North Side tract and the practical results
of their labors since they set foot on lda-
no soil. entities them to the above cap
ton. Another step in the line OF pro-
erosion is the fact that they have just
RECENTLY closed deal with Frank r.
Gooding whereby they have come into
possession OF upwards OF 300 head oil
thoroughbred Cotswold ewes, which to-
vether with the ones they already had on
their farm. makes them a fine bunch to
take care of. The ewes recently received
are all bred to commence lambing early
in February and the boys are now b'lslly
engaged in erecting proper lambing pens
The stock industry cannot be overlooked
on this tract, and the Wilson boys are
quick to grasp the idea that 10y feeding
your surplus hay you will realize from
three To four times what it would bring
if sold on the market. So 90 to II boys
You, can go wrong. Ii sheep are not
your hobby, get cows, mares, hogs, any
old thing, just 81 you get something Ia
eat up your hay and thereby get all tha'
is coming to you from your crops.

Ready For the Sacrifice

Some of our bachelor friends who
have spent the past three years in loneli-
ness in the city and on the tract, with
not courage enough to solicit lie com
panion, are Frightening up with the adj
vent of the new year, in the hopes that
some lady friend, possessed of more cour-
age than themselves, may conclude that
she is tired of living alone and Will seek
a companion among them. All We can
say is, come on girls, there is some good
opportunities awaiting you. After much
solicitation on the part of some oi the
bows we have kindly consented To waive
the usual local advertising rates and pre-
sent the following names for the sacrifice
free of charge:

I've Buildings Were Destroyed Tuesday
Fereneen BY the Flames
HOTEL BUILDING NOT INSURED
BY Hard Work Practically oil The
Hotel Furnlsh1ngs Wore
Saved From Flames

About 8: 80 on Tuesday morn
ing fire broke out in a vacant
building adjacent to the Gar
dena hotel and destroyed that
structure and the hotel build
ing. A strong wind from the
northwest tanned the flames
until it was impossible to check
the fire. The direction of the
wind, however, was largely
responsible for saving the rest
of the town from destruction.
The flying embers and the
intense heat were driven away
from the nearest frame build
ings.
BY hard work on the part of
the volunteer firemen a n d
other citizens nearly all of the
furnishings in the hotel, which
was owned and operated by
William ,Lentz, were saved.
The hotel property property
was worth about So, $40 and
was not insured. The unoc-
cupied building where the fire
started was owned by Henter
Bros. 1t was worth about 500
and was insured for half of that
amount.
The cause of the fire is not
known.

Almyra Hursh was placed
under arrest on Tuesday of this
week under a warrant charging
her with murder in the first
degree and will have a prelim-
mary hearing on Saturday. The
crime alleged to have been
committed by her was the
strangulation of her infant

Der 10, 1911. The shocking
details of the affair are known
to the public and will not be
discussed at this time,
The arrest of the unfortunate

recovered from her illness. A
preliminary hearing will be
given her on Saturday and if
she is held to the district court
it is probable that the trial will
take place at the February

bletn confronting him, be that
problem arithmetical or other
wise. Analysis is the key to
the situation and after relations
are seen it is time to proceed
with the solution. The work
should be practical for educa-
tioneis preparation for practical
life and in addition should give
some mental training and leave
something of cultural value.
American history is a review
and an enlarged view of history
as given in the grades. History
is no longer the process of
memorizing dates and events
regardless of importance or
lack of it but rather a study of
causes, and events that have
led up to the present condi-
tions in the country.
Botany is the only biological
science taught in the high
school and should prove to be
very interesting. Starting now
the class will be well along
and able to do considerable and
profitable laboratory work
when our local flora comes
forth. The subject is debated,
but it is maintained by most
science teachers that text and
class work should precede the
laboratory slightly. Although
facts as gained in the laborat-
ory are first hand facts, it
| should be remembered that
science is not observation, but
observed facts properly inter
preted in their relations to the
whole. Correct interpretations
cannot be made and and true
conclusions cannot be drawn
until a person has had gener-
al view of the field. The pur-
pose of the laboratory in school
is to clarity the text, to stinu-
late interest and help to have
retained in the memory and
therefore is given at the same
time or after class room work
has been done.
The work in geology will be
largely a continuation of the
first semester's work in physi-
cal geography. The pupils
then surface forms on the earth.
}Me now studies the surface
forms and those underneath,
the causes that have led to
these forms and the history of
the earth and it's past inhabit-
ants as revealed by them.
With one exception the addi-
ton of these courses will not
increase the amount of instruc-
ton on the part of the teachers.
They are all half year subjects
and replace those given last
semester but now discontinued.
