CHILDREN LEARN TO
TO Be PRACTICAL
Il. 'B. COnklln, Former School Supt.
Here, Introduces Beneficial Methods
in ontario Institutions.

E. B. Conklin, superintendent of
the Pendleton public schools before
j. S. Landers, the present incumbent,
has evolved a new course in the On
tario schools which he has been
experimenting for the past few years.
He is giving credit to the boy and
girl who attend to their duties about
home and thus secure the cooper
alton of the parents. The following
is a dispatch which appeared in the
Portland Journal Of yesterday:
Ontario, Or, June 15.-E. B. Conk-
lin, city superintendent of Ontario,
has been giving credit at school for
work done at home during the past
four months and finds the results
highly successful. The Ontario school
children have thoroughly enjoyed the
scheme, and have split wood, swept
floors, and washed dishes with an un-
precedented vim, while the parents
have co-operated by sending reports
Of their home work to the school once
month.
Mr.. Conklin got out a printed home
work card to be signed and graded
by the parents and returned to him.
The grades are the same as those on
the regular school cards: E, excel
lent G, good; F, fair; P, poor. The
parents have graded each child on
such duties as sewing. mending, bread
making, cooking, setting and serving
table, washing and wiping dishes,
washing and ironing, sweeping, MAX
ing beds, mopping and care of kitchen,
care of younger children, making
fires, getting water, coal, kindling,
etc, feeding stock or poultry, milk
ing cows. barn or yard work, garden
or field work, errands.
This card also includes character
development and asks the parents to
grade such qualities as cheerfulness,
kindness, order and care of clothes,
table manners, politeness, keeping
temper, care of language, courtesy to
parents, kindness to animals, ambition
o succeed ond doing things without
being told.

seek DISSOLUTION
OF STEEL TRUST

Washington, June 19.-Dissolution
of the United States steel corporation
as the arch enemy of the antitrust
law and of the independent steel bus
iness of the United States was a de-
mand voiced today by progressives of
both the republican and democratic
parties, as a result of the findings of
the Stanley investigating committee.
]. Pierpont Morgan, leading spirit
in the steel trust, is alleged with his
personal associates to have reaped a
profit of 36,OO0OOO from the or
ganization of this one company.
The dissolution of the giant monp-
oily is urged on the ground that it con-
stitutes a monopoly of raw material,
and also as holding company in de-
fiance OF q former decision of the
supreme court in the case of the
Northern Securities company, a rail-
road combine.
II is declared by Congressman STAN
ley, chairman OF the committee, that

TARIFF PROGRAM
OF REPUBLICANS

Chicago, June 19.-The tariff will
be revised downward, if the republi-
can party is returned to power, no
matter whether Taft or Roosevelt
controls the national convention.
This was made certain when it was
found that the leaders of each faction
have determined that they must admit
to the people that the tariff issue is
dominant. Both of the factions will
declare for a scientific downward re-
vision of the tariff Each will make
the point that while American labor
must be protected the fact that trust
made goods are sold abroad profit
ably at less than half what is charg-
ed in the United States shows that
the present rates are too high. But
in one respect the platforms will diff
fer.
The Taft platform will insist that
the present tariff board is meeting
the situation squarely and that its

UNCLE SAI'S MEN
NOT WELL PAID

Washington, June 19,-It has long
Uncle Sam doesn't pay his scientific
experts very we'll. There are many
men of great activity and experience
in the government service whose sal
aries come within the $2500 mark
and many others who do not get over
$4,000 All Of these are, of course,
graduates of colleges many of them
have masters and doctors degrees
and many others have spent several
years in research work or in study in
foreign universities. II is conceded
that a good deal of honor attaches
to government position Of this kind
and there are many persons who
think that the surplus dignity and
distinction supposed to attach to
these positions does not make up for
the lack Of pecuniary compensation.
Here is a recent case: DR.. George
F. Mitchell, expert in tea culture for
the United States and an employe of
the department of agriculture, has
been receiving $1,000 a year. He has
charge of the governments tea farm
at Summerville, S. c., and his opinion
and judgment are relied upon in all
matters concerning tea. Recently
DR.. Mitchell was assigned by the
treasury department to supervise the
inspection of all importations of tea
For this responsible work six months
in the year he will receive $1,000.
The remaining six months he will
continue his tea farm experiments
and other work for the department
of agriculture and will receive for
that $500. A total of $4,000 a year
for one of the most responsible tasks
in the government service.

ONLY BABY ELEPHANT
WITH B.P.O.E. CIRCUS
INFANT PACHYDERM TO TAKE
PLACE OF LITTLE HUTCH"
Elks Decline to Reveal from Whence
1t Came But Declare They Have
the Real Thing.

THE only baby elephant In Ameri-
ca" is to be one Of the crowd-draw-
ing features of the big Elks Circus.
which Is to present two separate and
distinct programs here on the after
noon and evening of June 2S At
least this is the disclosure covertly
made this morning by none other
than Judge Fitz Gerald and woe unto
the man who questions the judges
truth and veracity, for incarceration
for three days on bread and water
shall be his. The announcement will
be received with great manifest
pleasure by Umatilla county people
inasmuch as "the only baby elephant"
advertised by the Sells-Floto circus
shuffled off its mortal coil in this
city before the curious crowds had an
opportunity to dilate their pupils in
staring at it.
You see," said the staid police
court official in speaking of the mat
ter this morning." when the Sells
Floto circus lost its peculiar and
prideful distinction with the death of
Little Hutch" in this city, the local
Elks Immediately realized that an
opportunity was presented to It, Be-
fore any other show could secure the
monopoly on infantile pachyderms
held for several months by the Sells
Floto aggregation, the Elks immedi-
ately set about to secure one of these
precious treasures and sent a writ
ten request to congress for protection
under Ia ffop fp hn
fit OF infant industries. After two
weeks OF interchangeable labor our
dreams have come to a realization and
we take great pleasure in proclaim
ing to the world thar with the Elks
Circus Is now the only baby elephant
in the sovereign states of America"
did its mother disown 1t when it
was born?" asked the reporter in an
attempt to get a little human interest
for his story.
ALAS no, 1t never had a mother"
was the answer, cor If it did we were
never notified. 1t was shipped to us
in its own trunk
The reported failed altogether to
comprehend this explanation but
looked intelligent and sympathetic in
an endeavor to conceal his blunt wits
and started again.
Have you any theory as to its
origin?" was his next question.
Some pretend to believe that 1t
is a descendant of the G. o. P. ele-
phant come to succeed its parent in
the domination of American politics."
quoth the judicial one.
'Is there any truth in the report
that the Elks are trying to perpetrate
a fraud by Disgusting Fat Graham as
a baby elephant?" was the final
query.

will insist that the present board be
strengthened. There will be no mem

clare for a strong navy and both will
