Close of School at Wietzer.

Onward, Upward, Believing,
Achieving" are the. watchwords OF
the community around Wietzer.
Judging from the attendance inter
est and enthusiasm shown last Fri
day. the people are surely aware OF
the fact that life is not an empty
dream. They have awakened TO
their sense of duty and obligation as
citizens OF the community and pat
rons OF the school. 1t Is an essential
truth that every individual in COM
munity, whether parent or not, is 4
part OF that community and should
lend every effort to make the social,
educational and spiritual life OF that
community the very best. And we
believe that every father, mother and
citizen i'll this community will lend Il
helping hand and heart toward the
great movement that has tarted, thus
preparing 4 better place Tor our child
rem TO live i'll and enabling them to
form such characters as will be for
their betterment when they establish
homes OF their own.
Through the earnest desire OF the
school board and the untiring efforts
OF Mr.. Hooker, the Wietzer school
made a beginning in history by grad
uating its first class last Friday, j
class OF six members from the eighth
grade. The following are the class;

bers.
At noon, the mothers did credit tc
the culinary art by spreading u stump
tuous dinner and bounteous enough
for about one hundred and fifty hun
cry mouths.
At TWO o'clock, order was called
and the program begun.
The instrumental solos by Miss Ly-
tie OF Newdale were rare treat for
Us all. Miss Celeste Warren present
ed the school board with 4 picture
Ter the school room, left as 4 memen-
TO by the class OF 1912. This was re-
spondcd to by AIR. Frank Sickenber-
ger, one OF the school board.
Then County Superintendent Phil
lips gave such a splendid talk-so full
OF helpful suggestions. Ii the school
board can succeed in carrying ont his
plan we will have an ideal school
house and surroundings, one to be
patterned after. He then presented
| The diplomas to the graduates.
Then Mrs. Pendegrast OF Manza-
nola favored us with a vocal solo.
| Her solo was enjoyed to the extent
that she was called back. We hope
Mrs. Pendegrast will visit us otter
and sing for us.
In behalf OF the school, Sunday
school and patrons Mr.. Zimmerman
presented Mr.. Hooker with a rock.
ing chair as a token OF appreciation
OF his service.
Another manifestation of the gooC
spirit existing that day was shown
when the people stood in the hot sur
blinking and squirting and baking
their faces while the photographer die
his work.
Thus closed the greatest socia
event of Wietzer, noted for its at,
tendance, attention, enthusiasm, free
good will and congeniality.

Cougar Killing In Washington.

: Sportsmen of this vicinity are great
ly excited over the large number OF
cougars that are being killed within
a few miles of the city. no less than
six having been shot during the last
week.
This wholesale slaughter is making
Christmas money plentiful among the
hunters. as the bounty on cougar
scalps is $40 each. IL the local MIN
rods are going cunning for cougars.
as 1t looks more like easy money than
prospecting for gold L. Alaska.
The animals are making great havoc
among the deer. The first three shot
had two deer down. one of which they
had entirely eaten an the other was
partly eaten. The one shot had also

BRACKETS FOR CELLAR SHELF
Considerable Work Required in Max
ing Framework II Not Done
While Wall Is Being Built.

The erecting of shelves against a
cement or stone wall usually requires
considerable work in making the
framework; this could be replaced by
placing three-eighths-inch iron rods in
the mortar of the wall when It is
built, says the Homestead. These
should project far enough so the
boards used for shelves can lay on
same, in the manner shown in illus
tration. Where the wall has been
constructed the holes can be drilled
in same way by employing miners
drill of the right size; it is then an
easy matter to slip the rods into

each factory an equal value in

This cost OF production is. in every
instance, the cost OF sugar laid down
in the various factory warehouses and
does not include cost OF selling, de-
probation. interest or similar charges.
Only one company reports on its
sales cost, which is 81 cents per 100
pounds, but as this concern operates
six factories in widely separated ter
ritories and the figure is the average
on 600. $50 bags, which amount it
produced during the past five years,
this figure will be very near the aver
age sales cost for the country as a
whole.
This, we see, brings the total cost
of beet sugar to the manufacturers to
S4.25 per 100 pounds. The average
net sales price for sugtr during the
same period was 81. 90 per hundred as
can be easily proven by looking MP

FAMILY TELEPHONE
ORGANIZATION

Modern conditions have
brought about the need for
what might be called a long
distance telephone organiza-
ton Of lhe family. When
in doubt, telephone is an
axiom That ought to be i'm
pressed upon every member
of the family going on a
journcv, or to live at a dis
lance. The mother can reach
her children at school, and
children should be required
to telephone home occas-
iOnaIly. When husband or
wife set out on a journey a
telephone itinerary should be
jotted down and left behind.
Members of the family
travelling should not be con-
tent with providing means by
which those left at home
may reach them quickly, but
should communicate with
the home frequently. and
particularly when there is
bad weather, transportation
delay. disturbance of public
ordef, or any other unusual
condition where the traveller
happens to be. Bad news
flies fast, and is magnifed by
distance. These things cause
apprehension at home.
No other medium conveys
the personal assurance and
causes such peace of mind
asthe long distancete telephone
talk can give.
